QPR SOFTWARE PLC STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE 22 APRIL, 2010 9.00 AM
INTERIM REPORT 1 JANUARY - 31 MARCH, 2010
QPR SOFTWARE'S NET SALES ROSE TO EUR 1,671 THOUSAND,
OPERATING MARGIN WAS 8.7%, EARNINGS PER SHARE EUR 0.01
Summary
January - March 2010:
- Net sales EUR 1,671 thousand (January-March 2009:
1,628)
- Operating profit EUR 145 thousand (143)
- Operating margin 8.7% of net sales (8.8)
- Cash flow from operations rose to EUR 349
thousand (251)
- Earnings per share were EUR 0.01
(0.01).
QPR Software´s international
software sales increased by 13%, and service and
solutions sales by 32%
compared to previous year. However, transition to
subscription based software
sales in Finland affected adversely to Group net
sales. This transition led to
a decrease in Software Sales Finland segment's
net sales (-24%). Despite this,
new software sales increased also in Finland
and the company estimates that
the transition to subscription sales will have a
positive impact on net sales
in Finland in the longer term.
Operating profit was EUR 145 thousand, and
remained on last year´s level (143).
Costs increased 5% compared to previous
year, which was mainly due to increase
in personnel.
The company
established a subsidiary in Moscow in the first quarter of the year
and
transferred the business operations acquired in November 2009 from its
Russian
and CIS resellers to the founded subsidiary. The majority
the
resellers´personnel were employed by QPR after the review period in
the
beginning of April.
The outlook remains unchanged. QPR Software estimates
the Group´s net sales and
operating profit to grow in 2010 compared to the
previous year (net sales in
2009: EUR 6,618 thousand; operating profit: EUR
705 thousand).

QPR
Software Group´s net sales in the first quarter of 2010 were EUR
1,671
thousand (1,628), representing a growth of 3%. International net sales
grew
11%. Growth in net sales, however, was slowed down by the transition to
software
subscription sales in the Finnish home market.
QPR has since the
second half of 2009 offered, as an alternative for software
license sales, a
pricing model based on subscription fees. The new pricing
model has been well
received in the markets. Unrecognized revenue from
subscription sales stood at
EUR 205 thousand at the end of the review period.
QPR reports subscription net
sales as part of maintenance services. In
subscription based model, net sales
are accumulated in a slower manner than in
license sales, but the share of
recurring revenue is significantly larger.
Group net sales divided into
software licenses, maintenance services and
professional services as follows,

Software Sales International
Software Sales International business segment´s net sales in January -
March
rose 13% from the previous year thanks to higher license sales and were
EUR 955
thousand (845). The growth was mainly impacted by higher net sales in
Russia
and CIS countries and improved global economic situation. Business
operations
in Russia are expected to show continued positive development in
the coming
quarters this year. Operating profit rose to EUR 149 thousand (22).
The largest export markets were South Africa, Great Britain, Turkey,
Sweden,
Germany, Kazakhstan and United Arab Emirates. QPR delivered software,
among
others, to Abu Dhabi Food Control Authority, in Great Britain to
Highland
Council, to Latvian State Forests, in Germany to Diehl Aerospace
GmbH, in
Russia and CIS countries to Kazzinc and IRKUT, in South Africa to

in the USA to Ferris State University.
Software Sales Finland
Software Sales Finland -business segment´s net sales in
January - March
decreased by 24% due to decline in license sales and was EUR
424 thousand
(561). The decline is attributable to the Company´s transition to
subscription
software sales in Finland. Software Sales Finland acquired
however, clearly
more new customers than in previous year, and the Company
sees good potential
for add-on sales to these new customers. Furthermore, the
Company believes that
the subscription based business model enables
significant expansion in its
potential customer base. Operating profit
declined, due to decreased net sales,
to EUR 34 thousand (198).
In Finland QPR delivered
software, among others, to Cargotec Corporation,
Finnritilä Ltd, Larox Flowsys
Group, Metso Automation, Oy Metsa-Botnia Ab,

2010 was EUR 7,285 thousand
(5,501).

investments based on operating cash-flow in the review period

At the end of the reporting period, the Group equity stood at EUR
2,709
thousand (2,495), and equity to assets ratio was 43.5% (66.2). The

withdrawn during the second quarter of 2009. Return on equity was
14.4% (18.6).

ensure that the
Company operates efficiently and effectively, distributes
reliable information,
complies with 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. Risk management report
is
presented to the Board in connection with quarterly financial reporting.
Coordination of risk management and internal control and related reporting
is
the responsibility of the Chief Financial Officer. QPR Software identifies
the
risks by their essentiality: if actualized, the risks selected for
monitoring
would have a material impact on the Company's business operations.
QPR has identified the following four groups of risks related to its
operations:
risks related to business operations (country, customer, net sales
forecasting
process, personnel, legal, financial), risks related to company's
general
operational environment (economic fluctuations), risks related to

risks are
covered by insurance.
Finacial risks include reasonable credit risk concerning
individual business
partners, which is characteristic to any international

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 a
customary and
reasonable level.
External business environment changes, such as economic
fluctuations, are
included in the Company´s market and customer risks. 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 70 countries (in 2009), 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 2009, page 25 onwards (www.qpr.com/annual-reports.html).
FUTURE OUTLOOK
Market forecasts published in the beginning of 2010 estimate that value
of
global software sales will increase 5-7% and global professional services
sales
will increase 4-5% in 2010 compared to 2009.
Based on current
software market growth forecasts, QPR´s own forecasts and
resellers'
forecasts, QPR Software estimates net sales and operating profit to
grow in
2010 compared to 2009 (net sales in 2009: EUR 6,618 thousand;
operating
profit:
EUR 705 thousand).
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.
