OUTLOOK
FOR 2009
Based on current software market growth forecasts, QPR´s own forecasts and
resellers' forecasts, QPR Software expects its operating profit to stay
on the
level of previous year (2008: EUR 0.893 million). The nature of
software license
business of QPR Group is seasonal. Seasonality of large
software deals can
affect significantly net sales and profit of one
individual quarter.
REPORTING
This interim report complies with
accounting and valuation principles of IFRS,
but in preparations not all the
requirements of IAS 34-standard have been
considered. The accounting
and valuation principles are the same as they were in
2008 financial
statements. This interim report is not audited.
As of
January 1, 2009 QPR Software Plc has three business segments: Software
Sales International (software license and maintenance sales outside of
Finland),
Software Sales Finland (software license and maintenance sales in
Finland) and
Service and Solutions (global professional service sales).
The company has re-defined management reporting principles, and does
not
anymore monitor minor inter-segment net sales or report it. The company
has
also revised accordingly the segment information provided in the 2008
Annual
Report.
The geographical segments used by the
Company are Domestic (Finland) and
International markets.
RESULT
JANUARY-MARCH 2009 COMPARED
WITH JANUARY-MARCH 2008
QPR Software Group´s
net sales in the first quarter of 2009 were EUR 1.628
million (1.754).
The decrease
in net sales was due to substantially lower international software
license
sales than in previous year. Software license sales in January-March
were
EUR 0.529 million (0.817). The decrease was mainly due to customers´
prolonqued software purchase processes and smaller average deal size than in
previous year. A substantial share of the customers have delayed their
software
purchases in the current challenging economic climate. However, only
few
customers in the first quarter decided entirely to abandon their
software
purchase plans.
The largest export markets of QPR Software were
South-Africa, Japan, Sweden,
Belgium, United Arab Emirates and Russian
Federation. QPR delivered software
licenses in the first quarter to
Belgocontrol and EDS Telindus in Belgium,
Vidéotron Ltée in Canada,
Nihon Keiei/Japan Business Management Inc in Japan,
Ministry of Education
in Slovakia, Göteborgs Energi in Sweden and to National
Bank Of Abu Dhabi
and Ernst & Young Abu Dhabi in United Arab Emirates.
Despite of
the challenging economic situation, QPR succeeded in Finland to
increase
software licenses, maintenance and professional services sales. Net
sales
in Finland increased by 25.1% from previous year. The increase was boosted
by
QPR's expansion to healthcare sector in the beginning of 2009.
In Finland QPR delivered software to Alma Media Corporation, Neste Oil
Corporation, the health district of Kymenlaakso, Samlink Ltd, Finnish
State
Treasury, Finnish Communication and Regulatory Authority and to the
local
government IT management unit of Ministry of Finance (KuntaIT).
Maintenance services sales increased both in Finland and
abroad, and rose to EUR
0.868 million (0.735). The migration of maintenance
customers to the new QPR 8.0
software version started promptly. EUR 0.058
million maintenance sales increase
was due to business acquired from Mawell
Ltd. QPR bought at the end of December
2008 all Mawell Ltd´s customer
contracts regarding QPR ProcessGuide, QPR
ScoreCard and CostPerform
software products that can be transferred to QPR
Software. The
transferred customers are mostly healthcare organizations in
Finland.
The transaction includes maintenance agreements with an estimated
total
invoicing of EUR 330,000 in 2009.
QPR Software Plc sold in 2001 to Mawell Ltd exclusive rights to sell
QPR's
software products to healthcare sector in Finland. These exclusive
rights ceased
to exist as of January 1, 2009, after which QPR has full
business rights also
in this sector in Finland. QPR will write-off the whole
Goodwill in five years
time.
The transaction also supports QPR´s strategy to
develop a strong home market
service offering in business process
consulting, and opens new possibilities to
build service concepts for
international resellers.
Professional services
sales rose to EUR 0.231 million, which represents 14.2% of
net sales. QPR aims
further to increase professional services sales in 2009.
QPR aims at
increasing the scale and impact of its solutions by delivering its
customers
professional services that enhance their implementation projects. In
its
consulting service offering, QPR focuses especially on business process
consulting that aims at productivity increases and systematic risk management
and control. In these services, QPR experts have significant experience
across
the industries.

SHORT-TERM RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
Internal control and risk management in QPR Software
Plc aims to ensure that the
Company operates efficiently and effectively,
distributes reliable
information, complies to regulations and
operational principles, reaches its
strategic goals and ensures continuity
of its business.
It is the duty of the Board of
Directors to monitor the appropriateness,
effectiveness and efficiency
of risk management and internal control in QPR
Software Group. The Board
of Directors also monitors that the Company has
defined operational
principles for internal control and that the Company
monitors the
effectiveness of internal control.
Reasonable credit risk concerning individual business partners is
characteristic
to any international business. QPR seeks to limit this credit
risk by continuous
monitoring of standard payment terms, receivables and
credit limits. The
management of QPR estimates that the company´s
credit loss risk is on customary
and reasonable level.
External business environment changes,
such as economic fluctuations, are
included in the Company´s market and
customer risks. General decline in business
activity has been exceptionally
abrupt since autumn 2008, and this has created
economic unrest in all
markets. The general economic uncertainty, continuation
of negative
development or deepening of such a development may have a negative
impact on
software market and thus, also to QPR´s business operations.
QPR´s
market and customer risks are mitigated by the following factors: the
Company conducts business in over 50 countries, both in public and private
sector as well as in several different business verticals. In addition, the
customer benefits produced by QPR´s products and solutions are related to
optimization and streamlining of operations, strategy implementation as
well as
risk management and compliance. QPR believes, based on its earlier
experiences
from cyclical fluctuations that demand for these customer
benefits remains
relatively strong even in recession.
No significant changes have taken place in QPR's
short-term risks and
uncertainties during the financial period.
Risks related to QPR Software´s business
are further described in the Annual
Report 2008, page 23
(http://www.qpr.com).
FUTURE OUTLOOK
Market
forecasts published in early 2009 estimate that total corporate IT
investments will decrease in 2009. The estimated decrease varies, and is
usually
between 3 and 10%, depending on market, the publisher of the forecast
and its
timing.
Based on current software market growth forecasts, QPR´s own
forecasts and
resellers' forecasts, QPR Software expects its operating
profit to stay on the
level of previous year. The nature of the software
license business of the QPR
Group is seasonal. Seasonality of large software
deals can affect significantly
net sales and profit of one individual
quarter.
The Company continues monitoring
of the structural development of its industry
and aims actively participate
in to it.
