Customers' decision-making pace was slow and they are ordering short and small projects. Order backlog has decreased in all Nordic countries compared to last year, but it has clearly grown in Baltic. Market development in our BI/EIM market segments is twofold: some technology and solution areas grow well, but some see only very slow growth. E.g. demand for basic data warehouse solutions is not growing much, while demand for appliances and other next-generation data warehouse solutions is growing clearly. We are shifting our offerings and resources to match the changing needs. In Norway we have had emphasis on next-generation data warehouses, while in Sweden and Finland we have had more focus on collaboration and digitalization solutions. Cloud adoption is progressing in the Business Intelligence & Data Warehouse markets. The Industrial Internet / Internet of Things will create significant new analysis possibilities for our customers. We are actively looking into development of new solutions to satisfy the customer needs. In general, we believe that the information technology markets and buying are building into several separate markets. IT buying continues to change, cloud and commodity-like services will grow and the roles of customers' IT organizations are changing. Price competition continues tight and the global service companies will continue to grow in this market. Small local companies can develop their competitiveness by specializing, for example into the new fields in analytics mentioned above. At the same time new business technology markets are emerging, where information technology solutions and the information generated by them form an integral part of customer organizations' own products and services. From our customers' perspective these solutions will be elemental for their business and will have close connection to their own competitiveness and profit. So, the decisions regarding these solutions will be made in proximity of or within the business itself. Business capabilities based on Internet of Things offer examples of this kind of solutions that may transform products and business models in various industries. We are actively investigating various possibilities in this emerging market and believe that prospering in this market will require close relations to the customers. So, we aim to grow in this market together with our customers. BUSINESS REVIEW BY AREAS The group's business is managed through five country units. Finland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Baltic are also the reportable segments. In 7-9/2014 the net sales in Finland decreased by 8% to 10.3 MEUR (11.3 MEUR). Operational segment result was 1.5 MEUR (1.8 MEUR) and profitability was 15%. Net sales decreased mainly due to smaller sales of consultancy work. General mood is still cautious in Finland and customers are slow with their investment decisions. Order backlog is below last year's level. In 7-9/2014 the net sales of Karttakeskus GIS business, reported as part of Finland, decreased by 13% to 2.6 MEUR (3.0 MEUR) and its profitability was good. In 7-9/2014 the net sales in Norway were 5.3 MEUR (6.2 MEUR) and operational segment result was 0.6 MEUR (0.5 MEUR). Net sales decreased by 14% due to smaller sales of both consultant work and licenses. Profitability increased to 12% as utilization rate improved somewhat. Streamlining actions done earlier this year have helped to decrease the cost base and have improved profitability. Order backlog is below last year's level. In 7-9/2014 the net sales in Sweden were 3.9 MEUR (4.7 MEUR) and operational segment result -0.1 MEUR (0.0 MEUR). Net sales decreased by 18%, to which both the decreased utilization rate and the weakened SEK contributed. Profitability was slightly negative -2%. Development actions continue and the goal is to achieve normal profitability, but structural and operational changes for the business will take some time. Order backlog is below last year's level. In 7-9/2014 the net sales in Denmark were 2.6 MEUR (3.1 MEUR) and operational segment result was 0.2 MEUR (0.5 MEUR). Net sales decreased by 17%. Profitability decreased to 6%. Order backlog is below last year's level. In 7-9/2014 the net sales in Baltic (Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Poland, South Africa) were 4.5 MEUR (3.3 MEUR). Operational segment result was 0.9 MEUR (0.0 MEUR). Net sales increased by 36% and profitability increased to 19%. The Lithuanian public sector has not yet recovered, as the preparations of new EU funded projects has progressed slower than we have anticipated. The entrance of Lithuania into the Euro zone in January 2015 has had some positive impact. Estonian market situation is normal. The insurance business is performing well. Order backlog is above last year's level.

SHARES AND TRADING During the review period a total of 132 141 new shares have been subscribed with the 2008C options. The company has one share series and all shares have similar rights. At the end of the review period Affecto Plc's share capital consisted of 22 450 745 shares. The company owned directly 44 219 shares and a fully owned subsidiary Affecto Management Oy owned 823 000 shares. Thus there are 867 219 treasury shares in total, approx. 3.9 % of the total amount of the shares. In 1-9/2014 the highest share price was 4.62 euro, the lowest price 2.90 euro, the average price 3.36 euro and the closing price 3.16 euro. The trading volume was 2.9 million shares, corresponding to annualized 17% of the number of shares at the end of the period. The market value of shares was 68.2 MEUR at the end of the period excluding the treasury shares. 2008C options' exercise period ended on 31 May 2014. A total of 306 000 shares were subscribed with the options. SHAREHOLDERS The company had a total of 3 011 owners on 30 September 2014 and the foreign ownership was 12%. The list of the largest owners can be found in the company's web site. Information about the ownership structure and option programs is included as a separate section in the financial statements. The ownership of the board members, CEO and their controlled corporations totaled approx. 10.5%. According to the flagging announcement made on 21 May 2014, the ownership of Evli Pankki and funds managed by Evli Rahastoyhtiö has decreased below 5%. ASSESSMENT OF RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES Affecto's order backlog has traditionally been only for a few months, which decreases the reliability of longer-term forecasts. The changes in the general economic conditions and the operating environment of customers have direct impact in Affecto's markets. The uncertain economy may affect Affecto's customers negatively, and their slower investment decision making, postponing or cancellation of IT investments may have negative impact on Affecto. Slower decision making by customers may decrease the predictability of the business and may decrease the utilisation rate of resources. Affecto's balance sheet includes a material amount of goodwill. Goodwill has been allocated to cash generating units. Cash generating units, to which goodwill has been allocated, are tested for impairment both annually and whenever there is an indication that the unit may be impaired. Potential impairment losses may have material effect on reported profit and value of assets. The greatest uncertainty is related to Sweden, where the recoverable amount exceeds the carrying amount only by a narrow margin. Affecto sells third party software licenses as part of its solutions. Typically the license sales have most impact on the last month of each quarter and especially in the fourth quarter. This increases the fluctuation in net sales between quarters and increases the difficulty of accurately forecasting the quarters. Additionally the increase of cloud services and other similar market trends may affect the license sales negatively. Affecto had license sales of approx. 10 MEUR in 2013. Affecto's success depends also on good customer relationships. Affecto has a well-diversified customer base. In 2013 the largest customer generated 3% of Affecto's net sales, while the 10 largest together generated 17%. Although none of the customers is critically large for the whole group, there are large customers in various countries who are significant for local business in the country. Approximately a 40% of Affecto's net sales is generated in Sweden and Norway, thus the development of the currencies of these countries (SEK and NOK) may have impact on Affecto's profitability. The main part of the companies' income and costs are within the same currency, which decreases the risks. EVENTS AFTER THE REVIEW PERIOD According to flagging announcements the ownership of Mika Laine has decreased below 5% on 17 October 2014 and the ownership of Lombard International Assurance S.A. has exceeded 5% on 17 October 2014. FUTURE OUTLOOK Year 2014 net sales and operating profit are estimated to be below last year's level. The company does not provide exact guidance for net sales or EBIT development, as single projects and timing of license sales may have large impact on quarterly sales and profit.
