EB'S CEO JUKKA HARJU:
"EB's net sales and profitability during the first half of 2010 improved from
last year as expected. The demand in the Automotive Business Segment increased
clearly from last year as the industry recovered from last year's down turn. The
net sales and profitability in the Wireless Business Segment remained at the
level of last year. Our main objective for the second half of 2010 is to
continue to improve the profitability and gradually increase R&D investments
both in Automotive and Wireless Segments."
OUTLOOK FOR THE SECOND HALF OF 2010
Signs of market recovery have continued during the first half of 2010 in both
generic economic environment, and within the EB's Automotive and Wireless
Business Segments. However, economic uncertainties and challenges in obtaining
funding have increased the risk of credit losses and may affect the demand for
the EB's services, solutions and products. This may also reflect to the net
sales and result of the second half of 2010. More specific market outlook is
presented under the "Business Segments' development during the second quarter
2010 and market outlook" section, and uncertainties regarding the outlook under
the "Risks  and uncertainties" section.
Our main focus for the second half of 2010 is to improve the profitability
further.
EB expects that the net sales of the second half of 2010 is higher than in the
second half of 2009 (EUR 73.6 million). The operating profit of the second half
of 2010 is expected to be at the level of or better than the operating profit of
the second half of 2009 (EUR 0.0 million).
Due to the holiday period and the nature of R&D services business the third
quarter of 2010 will be weaker than the latter part of the half.

BUSINESS SEGMENTS' DEVELOPMENT DURING THE SECOND QUARTER 2010 AND MARKET OUTLOOK
EB's reporting is based on the Automotive and Wireless Business Segments.
AUTOMOTIVE
The Automotive Business Segment consists of in-car software products, navigation
software for after market devices and development services for the automotive
industry with leading car manufacturers, car electronics suppliers and
automotive chipset suppliers as customers. By combining its software products
and R&D services EB is creating unique, customized solutions for its automotive
customers.
During the second quarter of 2010, the Automotive Business Segment's net sales
amounted to EUR 18.6 million (EUR 13.5 million, 2Q 2009) representing a growth
of 38.1 per cent year-on-year. The operating loss reduced to EUR -0.2 million
(EUR -2.5 million, 2Q 2009). The profitability improvement year-on-year is
mainly due to the recovered market situation and the improved performance in our
R&D service projects.
During the second quarter of 2010 the demand for Automotive products and
services improved year-on-year and the market recovery continued. EB continued
to investigate the possibility to expand its business to driver assistance
applications. In May EB introduced the EB Assist ADTF, a driver assistant
development environment that significantly accelerates the software development
process of driver assistance systems.
In the Industry Premium Conference held in Germany in June EB told that it will
bring to market the Infotainment Software Suite developed by e.solutions (EB &
Audi Joint Venture) as a pre-integrated, cost-efficient, and highly customizable
software solution to its customers. Volkswagen Group has announced earlier that
they will use the Infotainment Software Suite as their next generation high-end
infotainment platform.
Automotive Market Outlook
The majority of the innovation and differentiation in the automotive industry is
brought about by software and electronics. The share of electronics and software
in cars has grown significantly during the past years and it is expected that
the trend of increased use of software in automotive continues to prevail in the
market. The estimated annual automotive software market long-term growth rate of
some 15 per cent (Frost & Sullivan) was recently negatively affected by the
downturn of the automotive industry. However, during the last months the market
has clearly improved and is expected to return to the level of the long-term
growth.
In order to enable faster innovation, to improve quality and development
efficiency and to reduce complexity related to software, the use of standard
software solutions is expected to increase in the automotive industry.
The underlying growth of the automotive software market will continue and the
cost pressures of the automotive industry are expected to accelerate the need of
productized, efficient software solutions EB is offering.
EB's net sales cumulating from the automotive industry are currently primarily
driven by the development of new cars and platforms and dependency on production
volumes of the car industry is limited. However, over the years to come
dependency on the production volumes is increasing as a result of the transition
towards software product business models.
WIRELESS
The Wireless Business Segment comprises the following businesses:
- Wireless Solutions provides customized solutions and R&D services for wireless
industry and other industries utilizing wireless technologies.
- Wireless Communications Tools provides test tools for measuring, modeling and
emulating radio channel environments.
The Wireless Business Segment's net sales during the second quarter 2010
amounted to EUR 25.9 million (EUR 23.7 million, 2Q 2009), representing a growth
of 9.1 per cent. Operating profit was EUR 0.3 million (EUR 0.9 million,
2Q 2009).
During the second quarter EB-designed TerreStar GENUS smartphone proceeded in
the AT&T certification process. EB continued to strengthen its capabilities in
emerging new technologies such as MeeGo and Android complementing its already
strong competencies in Symbian and Windows Mobile. In June EB introduced new
terminals as part of the EB Tough VoIP product family.
In June, the temporarily decreased order volumes led to personnel negotiations
with the personnel working in Elektrobit Wireless Communications Ltd and
Elektrobit Corporation in Finland. As a result of the negotiations it was
decided to temporarily dismiss approximately 100 employees full or part time for
maximum of 90 days starting in July - August. If necessary, EB can execute
additional temporary dismissals at maximum of approximately 100 employees during
autumn.
Wireless Communications Tools demand continued to be driven by the advanced
development tools for 3GPP LTE technology.
The global mobile device market volumes have grown as expected during the first
half of 2010. The value share is expected to move towards higher-end due to the
increased demand for new features and services. The global mobile infrastructure
market is expected to be flat during 2010 and the consolidation of the industry
may continue. The mobile satellite communication service industry is introducing
new data and mobile communication services with new operators being formed and
traditional ones upgrading their solutions and offerings.
The wireless communication R&D services market continues to be challenging and
the continuing price pressure drives increasing off-shoring in the industry.
However, OEMs are expected to increase their R&D flexibility that can create new
opportunities for partnering for EB. New open software architectures and
platforms are creating opportunities for companies such as EB with strong
integration capabilities.
LTE standard continued gaining strength and EB's business driven by LTE is
expected to increase.
Mastering of multi-radio technologies and end-to-end system architectures
covering both terminal and network technologies, has gained importance in the
complex wireless technology industry. The demand for EB's hybrid
satellite-terrestrial device solutions is expected to continue. The
satellite-terrestrial and Mobile Satellite Services (MSS) market demand is
expected to start moving from the current reference design phase towards the
launch of commercial products and services. This can create new service and
product related business opportunities for EB.
The current economic downturn did not have a significant effect on the overall
wireless communications tools market. Need for advanced development tools 3GPP
LTE technology is expected to remain as a driver for the demand in the medium
and long term. EB provides world leading channel emulation tools for the
development of MIMO based 3GPP LTE and other advanced radio technologies.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
EB continued its investments in R&D in the automotive software products and
tools, in radio channel emulation products and in Wireless Solutions' product
platforms.
The total R&D investments during the second quarter of 2010 were EUR 5.4 million
(EUR 3.5 million, 2Q 2009), equaling 12.1 per cent of the net sales (9.4 per
cent in 2Q 2009). EUR 1.0 million of R&D investments were capitalized.
OUTLOOK FOR THE SECOND HALF OF 2010
Signs of market recovery have continued during the first half of 2010 in both
generic economic environment, and within the EB's Automotive and Wireless
Business Segments. However, economic uncertainties and challenges in obtaining
funding have increased the risk of credit losses and may affect the demand for
the EB's services, solutions and products. This may also reflect to the net
sales and result of the second half of 2010. More specific market outlook is
presented under the "Business Segments' development during the second quarter
2010 and market outlook" section, and uncertainties regarding the outlook under
the "Risks and uncertainties" section.
Our main focus for the second half of 2010 is to improve the profitability
further.
EB expects that the net sales of the second half of 2010 is higher than in the
second half of 2009 (EUR 73.6 million). The operating profit of the second half
of 2010 is expected to be at the level of or better than the operating profit
from business operations of the second half of 2009 (EUR 0.0 million).
Due to the holiday period and the nature of R&D services business the third
quarter of 2010 will be weaker than the latter part of the half.
RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
EB has identified a number of business, market and finance related factors that
can affect the level of sales and profits. Those of the greatest significance on
a short term are those affecting the utilization and chargeability levels and
average hourly prices of R&D services. On the ongoing financial period the
global economic slowdown may affect the demand for the EB's services, solutions
and products and provide pressure on e.g. volumes and pricing. It may also
increase the risk for credit losses. Challenges in obtaining funding have also
resulted payment delays by one of the EB's significant customers and increased
the risk of credit losses. This risk may grow during the second half of 2010. EB
has paid particular attention in order to secure and collect receivables. The
receivables from the above mentioned customer are significant in amount.
However, based on the current information available for EB, there is no reason
to believe that EB would not be able to collect most of them. It is possible
that based on later information, this view may need to be reconsidered. At the
worst, challenges in obtaining funding may also result to the termination of
significant business relations when a customer can not comply with its
contractual obligations towards EB.
As the EB's customer base consists mainly of companies operating in the fields
of automotive and telecommunications, the company is exposed to market changes
in these industries. EB believes that expanding the customer base will reduce
dependence on individual companies and that the company will thereby be mainly
affected by the general business climate in automotive and telecommunication
industries. However, some parts of EB's business are more sensitive to customer
dependency than others. Respectively, this may translate as accumulation of risk
with respect to outstanding receivables and ultimately with respect to credit
losses. The more specific market outlook is presented under the "Business
Segments' development during the second quarter 2010 and market outlook"
section.
EB's operative business risks are mainly related to following items:
uncertainties and short visibility on customers' product program decisions,
their make or buy decisions and on the other hand, their decisions to continue,
downsize or terminate current product programs, ramping up and down project
resources, timing and on the other hand successful utilization of the most
important technologies and components, competitive situation and potential
delays in the markets, timely closing of customer and supplier contracts with
reasonable commercial terms, delays in R&D projects, activations based on
customer contracts, obsolescence of inventories and technology risks in product
development causing higher than planned R&D costs. In addition there are
typical industry warranty and liability risks involved in selling EB's services,
solutions and products. Product delivery business model includes such risks as
high dependency on actual product volumes, development of the cost of materials
and production yields. The abovementioned risks may manifest themselves as
higher cost of product delivery, and ultimately, as lower profit. Revenues
expected to come from new products for existing and new customers include normal
timing risks.
More information on the risks and uncertainties affecting EB can be found on the
Company's website at www.elektrobit.com
