Bittium’s CEO Hannu Huttunen
The net sales of the second quarter in 2016 were EUR 16.4 million, representing an increase of 7.1 percent year-on-year. The share of the product-based net sales was EUR 2.9 million, which was lower than in the corresponding period last year due to the product delivery schedules. The share of the services-based net sales was EUR 13.3 million. The service business developed positively thanks to the increased demand in R&D services for special terminal products. Operating result in the second quarter was 0.8 million. Cash flow was EUR -18.3 million, mainly due to the dividend payment of EUR 10.7 million, investments made into our new office building and growth in the net working capital.
Net sales in January-June were EUR 31.1 million, representing a growth of 2.3 percent year-on-year. The share of the product-based net sales was EUR 5.3 million (17.1 percent of net sales) which was lower than in the corresponding period last year due to the product delivery schedules. The share of the services-based net sales was EUR 25.6 million. Operating profit decreased year-on-year and was EUR 0.7 million.
Despite of the decrease in the demand for R&D services for mobile network equipment manufacturers, the demand for Bittium’s R&D services has developed positively during the second quarter. The product development project that started in May 2015 with the Mexican Ministry of Communication and Transportation to develop Android-based mobile devices that use both terrestrial and satellite connection for their MEXSAT system has continued according to plans.
We continued the R&D investments in our products and product platforms aiming for growth especially in the international defense, information security and public safety markets. The investments still focused mainly in the further development of the Bittium Tough Mobile™ secure LTE smartphone targeted for the mobile security and public safety markets and in May we launched a new Bittium Tough Mobile B28 frequency variant, which is targeted for public safety networks requiring this band B28. The awareness of information security risks is growing and the interest towards secure mobile devices is increasing, and we continued pilot deliveries of Bittium Tough Mobile during the second quarter. However, the development of the public safety and information security markets has been somewhat slower than expected.
We continued R&D investments also to Bittium SafeMove® product family and announced Bittium SafeMove® Analytics™ software as a standalone software product for enterprises for monitoring and analyzing the performance of wireless networks and mobile devices. We also released a new software version of Bittium SafeMove® Mobile VPN™ remote access solution. We established a partnership with Getac by offering Bittium SafeMove Mobile VPN and Analytics software to all Getac’s rugged tablets and notebooks as an option across Europe from May 2016 onwards.
The development of the tactical communication system Bittium Tactical Wireless IP Network™ (TAC WIN), used by the Finnish Defence Forces, continued. Also product deliveries related to that system were continued during the second quarter. We broadened our tactical communication product portfolio by launching Bittium Tough VoIP Service™ software product that connects both fixed data network users and wireless tactical data network users to the same voice service network. This significantly improves the capability to lead troops and maintain situational awareness in the quickly changing conditions of the battlefield.
Bittium demonstrated the first European cross-platform military radio technology for effective joint operations enabled by the ESSOR (European Secure Software defined Radio) waveform with both Leonardo-Finmeccanica from Italy and with Thales from France at Eurosatory exhibition in Paris. Bittium has been part of developing the ESSOR programme since it started in 2009.
We will continue to look for inorganic growth opportunities according to our strategic guidelines and our focus in this year will be on the internationalization and enabling growth. We strengthened the development of our business by appointing Mr. Sami Kotkajuuri as Vice President, Business Development as of May 1, 2016. The growing need for wireless connectivity, increasingly growing amount of data transfer and the need for secure data transfer create demand for Bittium’s competence, products and product platforms, and therefore Bittium has good conditions to continue to grow also in the future.
Outlook for 2016
Bittium expects that the net sales in 2016 will grow from the previous year (net sales of EUR 56.8 million, in 2015). The development of the operating result includes still many uncertainties and therefore the company has decided not to give guidance on the development of the operating result. These uncertainties include possible non-recurring investments in building long-term growth and significant variations in the operating result between the quarters due to the timing of product deliveries.
More information about Bittium’s market outlook is presented in the section “Market outlook” in this Half Year Financial Report.
More information about other uncertainties regarding the outlook is presented in the Report by the Board of Directors 2015, in the section "Risks and uncertainties" and on the company's internet pages at www.bittium.com .

Bittium Corporation’s Half Year Financial Report January-June 2016
Financial performance in January-June 2016
Bittium’s net sales during January-June 2016 increased by 2.3 percent year-on-year to EUR 31.1 million (EUR 30.4 million, in 1-6 2015).
The share of the product-based net sales was EUR 5.3 million (EUR 8.8 million, in 1-6 2015), which resulted mainly from the product deliveries of the tactical communication system to the Finnish Defence Forces and from the delivery of other terminal products for authorities use. The product-based net sales decreased year-on-year mainly because of the ending of product deliveries of a special terminal project for a US-based customer during the corresponding period.
The share of the services-based net sales was EUR 25.6 million (EUR 21.5 million, in 1-6 2015). Despite of the decrease in the demand for the services business in the mobile infrastructure equipment market, the services-based net sales increased year-on-year due to the increased demand for the R&D services related to the special terminal products.
Operating result was EUR 0.7 million (EUR 1.5 million, in 1-6 2015).

Business development in April-June 2016
Bittium’s net sales during April-June 2016 grew to EUR 16.4 million (EUR 15.3 million, 2Q 2015), representing an increase of 7.1 percent year-on-year. The share of the product-based net sales was EUR 2.9 million (EUR 4.3 million, 2Q 2015), which resulted mainly from the product deliveries of the tactical communication system to the Finnish Defence Forces and from the delivery of other terminal products for authorities use. The decrease in the product-based net sales year-on-year was caused by the ending of product deliveries of a special terminal project for a US-based customer in the corresponding period, and by the quarterly variations in product delivery timings for the Finnish Defence Forces.
The share of the services-based net sales was EUR 13.3 million (EUR 10.9 million, 2Q 2015). The services-based net sales increased during the quarter due to the increased demand for the R&D services related to the special terminal products.
Operating profit was EUR 0.8 million (EUR 1.0 million, 2Q 2015).
Despite of the decrease in the demand for R&D services for the mobile network manufacturers, the demand for Bittium’s R&D services has developed positively during the second quarter of 2016. The product development project started in May 2015 with the Mexican Ministry of Communication and Transportation for the development of Android-based mobile devices that use both terrestrial and satellite connection for their MEXSAT system has continued according to plans.
Bittium continued the R&D investments in its own products and product platforms aiming for growth especially in the international defense, information security and public safety markets. The investments focused mainly in the further development of the Bittium Tough Mobile™ secure LTE smartphone targeted for the mobile security and public safety markets. The smartphone was presented at the Critical Communications World event in Amsterdam, where Bittium launched a new Bittium Tough Mobile B28 frequency variant, which is targeted for public safety networks requiring this band 28. In addition, Bittium and Air-Lynx demonstrated the first public safety LTE evolved Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Solution (eMBMS) that enables efficient use of the whole LTE radio spectrum, delivering huge amounts of data even in a congested network environment. This is particularly important in public safety, security and other mission-critical communications, which require fast data speeds, low latencies and reliable connections.
The awareness of information security risks is growing and the interest towards secure mobile devices is increasing. Bittium continued pilot deliveries of Bittium Tough Mobile during the second quarter. However, the development of the public safety and information security markets has been somewhat slower than expected.
In April, Bittium participated in the Hannover Messe industrial fair in Germany and presented its customized, secure IoT solutions and engineering services. At the display were Bittium Smart Watch and IoT gateway reference designs, which can be easily customized according to customer needs and industry specific requirements.
Bittium continued R&D investments also in Bittium SafeMove product family and announced Bittium SafeMove Analytics software as a standalone software product for enterprises for monitoring and analyzing the performance of wireless networks and mobile devices. Organizations that use Analytics will get real-time and historical data on the location of mobile devices and the performance of wireless networks and thus are able to enhance the efficiency and user experience of mobile workers.
In May, Bittium released a new software version of Bittium SafeMove Mobile VPN remote access solution. The new software version enhances the information security of mobile workers by supporting performance-improving encryption methods. Moreover, the new management user interface and support for mobile Android devices make the work of IT departments significantly easier.
In May, Bittium established a partnership with Getac to improve the productivity, security and user experience for field workers in challenging conditions. Bittium offers its SafeMove Mobile VPN and Analytics software to all Getac’s rugged tablets and notebooks as an option across Europe from May 2016 onwards. Bittium exhibited its secure and easy-to-use Bittium SafeMove remote access solutions at Terveydenhuollon ATK päivät (information technology days for healthcare industry) in Lahti, Finland.
The development of the tactical communication system Bittium Tactical Wireless IP Network™ (TAC WIN), used by the Finnish Defence Forces, continued. The product deliveries for the communication system were continued during the second quarter.
In April, Bittium expanded its product portfolio in tactical communications by introducing Bittium Tough VoIP Service (Voice over Internet Protocol) software product. With the product both fixed data network users and wireless tactical data network users can be connected to the same voice service network. This significantly improves the capability to lead troops and maintain situational awareness in the quickly changing conditions of the battlefield.
In June, Bittium participated in the Eurosatory exhibition in Paris targeted for defense markets and presented its tactical communication products and solutions. In addition, Bittium presented together with both Italian company Leonardo-Finmeccanica and French company Thales how the land forces of different European countries will be able to communicate with each other in joint operations, linking up via a common waveform regardless of the actual radio platforms they use. This waveform has been developed in the European ESSOR programme (European Secure SOftware defined Radio), where Bittium has been part of since it started in 2009.

Outlook for 2016
Bittium expects that the net sales in 2016 will grow from the previous year (net sales of EUR 56.8 million, in 2015). The development of the operating result includes still many uncertainties and therefore the company has decided not to give guidance on the development of the operating result. These uncertainties include possible non-recurring investments in building long-term growth and significant variations in the operating result between the quarters due to the timing of product deliveries.
More information about Bittium’s market outlook is presented in the section “Market outlook” in this Half Year Financial Report.
More information about other uncertainties regarding the outlook is presented in the Report by the Board of Directors 2015, in the section "Risks and uncertainties" and on the company's internet pages at www.bittium.com .
Market outlook
Bittium's customers operate in various industries, each of them having their own industry specific factors driving the demand. A common factor creating demand among the whole customer base is the growing need for higher speed, higher quality and secure data transfer. Due to the technology competence accrued over time and long history in developing mobile communication solutions, Bittium is in a good position to offer customized solutions for its customers.
The following factors are expected to create demand for Bittium's products and services in 2016 and beyond:
- In the mobile network equipment market the 4G technology has reached its maturity level that causes a decrease in the overall mobile network market in short term. Technology development towards 5G continues generating the demand for Bittium’s R&D services. Despite of Bittium's R&D services being highly competitive, the demand is expected to slightly decrease during the year 2016.
- The trend of using commercial technologies, such as LTE, smartphones and applications, is expected to continue in special verticals such as public safety and cyber security creating demand for Bittium Tough Mobile secure LTE smartphone and customized special terminals based on Bittium’s own product platform. The awareness of information security risks is growing and the interest towards secure mobile devices increases. However, the development of the public safety and information security markets has been somewhat slower than expected. The sale of the terminal products is expected to develop moderately according to the nature of authorities markets.
- Secure IoT (Internet of Things) has become a significant development area in many industries. The need for Bittium’s IoT services and customized solutions is generated by the increasing need of companies to bring connected devices to consumers and to demanding industrial usage. Such devices collect information through the device sensors and connect the device securely to the internet and cloud services.
- In the defense sector’s tactical communication market the governments’ defense forces and other authorities need networks that increasingly moving troops can use for transferring growing amounts of data securely. This creates demand for Bittium’s TAC WIN broadband network and for other Bittium’s IP-based (Internet Protocol) tactical communications solutions. Due to the long sales cycles driven by purchasing programs of national governments, it takes years to receive significant purchase orders. Bittium continues its efforts to bring its defense market targeted products and services also to the international defense markets and aims at pilot deliveries of its tactical communication system for customers abroad during 2016.
- Using public network connections in portable devices is increasing also in demanding professional use, such as in the public sector. This creates requirements for network connections to be easy to use and secure. The products in the Bittium SafeMove product family enable the ease of use of the devices and security in demanding use.
Risks and uncertainties
Bittium has identified a number of business, market and finance related risk factors and uncertainties that can affect the level of sales and profits.
Short-term risks and uncertainties are described in the Report by the Board of Directors 2015. More information about risks and uncertainties are presented at the Company’s internet pages at www.bittium.com .
