20 FUTURE OUTLOOK Esa Tihilä, CEO

21 Basware outlook 2013 The market conditions were more difficult than before in the first quarter. Customers decision-making was slower than before. The negotiation times of large international deals in particular have been prolonged because the customers requirements are higher in the service business than in the software business. In spite of net sales growth falling short of the targets for the first quarter, quantitatively speaking, the company closed 43 percent more significant Purchase to Pay deals than during the corresponding period the previous year. This proves that the fundamental demand for the company s products and services has remained at a good level. The next-generation Alusta software has not yet contributed to the growth of the company s net sales as targeted, which is due sales and delivery ability being reached slower than planned. The maturity of the product is continuously improving with new features and updates. Basware Match Plan was launched during the first quarter, and it will be complemented with Basware Match Order, which will be launched during the latter half of the year. The first versions of new Basware Purchase and Analytics products will be launched during the second quarter, and they are expected to improve the company s competitiveness further. The improved maturity of Alusta and new products are expected to enable the leveling off of the decrease in license sales during the rest of the year. The delivery ability of Alusta will improve while the number of customers put into production will increase. The improvement of delivery ability and shorter production lead times contribute to accelerating growth in net sales. We expect the company to grow more strongly during the rest of the year than in the first quarter, with the decrease in license sales leveling off and the growth of Automation Services continuing. The company s fixed expenses will grow at a more moderate rate during the last three quarters than in the first quarter. We have increased the number of personnel during 2012, and we expect improvement of productivity to decrease the need for recruitments in our different functions in late In order to achieve our objective of accelerated global growth and maintain our product leadership in Purchase to Pay processes, the development of Alusta software and services will continue strongly this year as well. The share of R&D expenses of net sales is expected to decrease during 2013 compared to the level of The emphasis of R&D expenses will shift gradually from Alusta product development towards the service development of Automation Services. The company s transition process is expected to reach a point where the investments will begin to pay themselves back in the form of increasing net sales and improved profitability during the latter half of the year.

22 Basware outlook 2013 Basware expects its net sales for 2013 to grow by more than 15% and operating profit (EBIT) to grow compared to the previous year.

23 Basware s updated strategy : cornerstones The world s largest Basware Commerce Network Focused go-to-market approach Maximize transaction volumes Drive consolidation of e-invoicing operators Maximize customer loyalty Ensure profitability in everything we do Leading product and service offering

24 Next steps Growth in net sales is supported by the focusing of our global sales efforts on buyer, supplier, and partner organizations Product and process improvements accelerate the entry of SaaS and e-invoice deals into production To build accelerated global growth and maintain our product leadership in Purchase to Pay processes, the development of Alusta software and services will continue Targeting different customer segments with Better Buying - Better Selling - Connected Commerce customer promises

25 Significant growth triggers Organization aligned with strategy and customer types Increased focus on activating customers suppliers and buyers Alusta readiness ramped up to customer expectations More comprehensive customer offering i.e. offering coverage Increased capabilities in delivery and support to increase customer satisfaction High growth through acquisitions Strong underlying market demand for P2P and e-invoicing

26 Objectives for the strategy period until end of 2015 Basware s long-term objective to grow annually percent in net sales boosted by over 50 percent growth in Automation Services which is intact compared to the previous strategy period. The long-term objective for operating profit margin continues to be percent of net sales which is expected to improve towards the end of the period. The share of recurring revenue is aimed to grow to 70 percent compared with current 55 percent, with Software as a Service (SaaS) and electronic invoicing contributing most to the growth, thus improving the profitability.
