Market development and TietoEnator's business transactions
The general market situation remained positive and in most sectors
growth prospects have remained unchanged. It is estimated that the
market relevant to TietoEnator will see growth of 5-7% this year. In
some areas, such as banking and telecom, there are signs of
cautiousness regarding the economic slowdown and its impact on IT
investments. Price levels were either stable or slightly higher than
in the previous year. The labour market remains challenging and the
attrition rate is on the rise, resulting in a higher salary level.
Growing personnel costs and increased use of subcontractors put
pressure on margins.
Banking and insurance
Overall demand in the financial services sector is healthy. Due to
the credit crisis, customers, especially in the UK, have adopted a
cautious attitude towards IT investments. The market is very
competitive in certain areas and price pressure persists, partly due
to offshore competition from territories such as India and Eastern
Europe. Regulatory changes in the European Union are creating new
demand in the payments and capital markets areas.
Following the consolidation of Sampo Bank and Danske Bank,
TietoEnator's business volumes to these customers have decreased and
therefore, Primasoft Oy's operations and ownership have been
reorganized. In April, TietoEnator acquired the entire share capital
of Primasoft Oy, a joint venture previously owned by TietoEnator
(60%), Sampo Plc (20%) and Sampo Bank/Danske Bank (20%). In
connection with the agreement, parts of Primasoft's application
management business were sold to If P&C Insurance Company and Sampo
Life.
These transactions will have a negative impact on the net sales of
both Banking & Insurance and Processing & Network in full year 2008.
In the second quarter, however, the impact on TietoEnator's net sales
was positive.
Telecom and media
The overall IT demand in the telecom and media sectors is fairly
good. The challenging market conditions in the telecom sector,
however, might lead to a slowdown in demand towards the year-end. Due
to customers' cost saving initiatives, demand for network R&D
services will level off in Europe. However, consolidating R&D service
purchases to few key contractors may favour TietoEnator. In the
operator market, the situation has eased and today, operators are
focusing on building new services and improving customer care.
In January, TietoEnator opened a new office in Chengdu to expand its
operations in China. The Chengdu centre serves TietoEnator's telecom
customers and offers services mainly for mobile devices, networks and
operators.
Government, manufacturing and retail
Overall demand is solid in all of these areas as customers are
seeking to improve performance and productivity. Government customers
plan to start several large development projects in the coming years.
However, the new framework arrangement for the sourcing of technical
IT consulting established by Hansel Ltd, the central procurement unit
of the State of Finland, has led to more demanding terms in
contracts. The positive trend in the manufacturing industry is
expected to continue. Although uncertainty in global markets has
increased, manufacturing companies continue to invest in IT. Retail
customers are in the market for IT systems to help them provide new
ways to manage customer demand more accurately.
Healthcare and welfare
Demand in the Finnish healthcare market has been steady as
self-services are gaining more momentum. The general trend in Sweden
and Norway is to consolidate regional systems, but market development
is slow. The Nordic welfare market, however, is active in all
countries.
In March, Sjukvårdsrådgivningen SVR AB (the Swedish Healthcare
Advisory Organization) chose TietoEnator as a supplier of a solution
for a national patient overview (NPO). The agreement will run for
five years with an option to extend for a further two years. The
total value of the agreement is at least EUR 12 million.
Forest and energy
In the forest sector, Nordic customers are restructuring their
operations and closing down excess capacity, but they are expanding
business in Russia and Asia, especially China. Customers are seeking
to keep costs in check and are suffering from high energy and raw
material prices.
In the energy sector, the market situation is very good for the oil
and gas segment as well as for the utility segment. Larger
investments in finding new oil reservoirs and utilizing old ones,
growing demand for energy and the good economic situation of energy
companies ensure IT investments in the coming years. However,
customers' price awareness is growing.
Infrastructure outsourcing
The market for infrastructure outsourcing in the Nordic countries is
active and growing steadily. Customers are looking for more flexible
solutions and request broader service agreements that
provide end-to-end business process coverage. Price pressure
persists, especially in new outsourcing contracts and contract
renewals.
In March, TietoEnator agreed a contract with the Swedish Tax Agency
to supply highly secure server centre services. Furthermore, the
contract includes options for other services. The contract will run
for five years with an option for two extension periods of two years
each. TietoEnator estimates the total value of the order to be around
EUR 7 million during the first five years.
In May, TietoEnator, OP-Pohjola Group Central Cooperative (OPK) and
Ilmarinen Mutual Pension Insurance Company concluded an agreement on
the delivery of ICT operations management services for the OP Pohjola
Group and Ilmarinen for the next seven years starting on 1 June 2008.
The services are produced by the joint venture FD Finanssidata, of
which TietoEnator owns 60%, OPK 36% and Ilmarinen 4%. This is one of
the largest agreements TietoEnator has made in recent years.
In June, TietoEnator concluded another major agreement when
TeliaSonera renewed its IT and application operations agreement. The
new agreement includes the outsourcing of IT and application
operations for TeliaSonera's internal business-critical systems on
the IBM mainframe, Unisys and VMS platforms in the entire Nordic
region.
Net sales
Net sales in the second quarter
Second-quarter net sales grew by 11% to EUR 480.2 (434.2) million or
by 12% in local currencies. Organic growth totalled 11%. The timing
of Easter had a positive impact on growth, as it resulted in
approximately 6% more working days in the quarter than in the second
quarter of 2007. The number of working days affects the business
areas' performance differently. It has the greatest impact on Telecom
& Media.
Growth was solid in all business areas, except in Forest & Energy
which was affected by weak performance in the utilities sector. In
certain areas, the higher attrition rate has limited growth.

eliminations
In Banking & Insurance, net sales grew by 9% despite of the closure
of the German operations. TietoEnator increased its holding in
Primasoft in April. This transaction had a positive impact of around
2 %-points on the second-quarter net sales. The Services business
developed well in Finland and Sweden during the review quarter, as
did the Partnership business.
Telecom & Media has held on to its market position. Eliminating the
impact of more working days in the quarter, net sales grew in line
with the relevant market. Sales to current large customers have
continued to grow.
Processing & Network's net sales saw organic growth of 16%, clearly
outpacing the relevant market. The business area concluded several
major agreements in 2007 and the first half of 2008. The most
significant were the agreements made with Apoteket and TeliaSonera as
well as Op-Pohjola Group and Ilmarinen.
In Government, Manufacturing & Retail, TietoEnator has experienced
steady demand in all sectors. In Healthcare & Welfare, growth was
very strong in all market areas and units, except the healthcare
business in Finland, where the comparison figures are high due to
exceptionally high license revenue in 2007. The business area
concluded several mid-sized and large new agreements in 2007 and the
first half of 2008. Thanks to the deal with Apoteket in June 2007,
Sweden was the strongest growing market for Healthcare & Welfare.
Forest & Energy's sales growth remained weak partly due to lower
sales to one major customer in the utilities sector. The market
remained active, but a shortage of resources hampered growth in some
areas.
Net sales in January-June
TietoEnator's six-month net sales grew by 8% to EUR 948.4 (876.4)
million or 9% in local currencies. Organic growth totalled 8%.
The most solid performance has been seen in Processing & Network. In
Telecom & Media, net sales growth was not as high as in the previous
year, reflecting the cautious stance on investments in the telecom
sector. The net sales growth of Healthcare & Welfare was on an upward
trend due to several new deals.
Net sales grew by 10% in Finland and by 8% in Sweden. In Norway, net
sales grew by 20% thanks to Telecom & Media's and Banking &
Insurance's strong performance. In Germany, net sales declined by 5%,
mainly due to the closure of Banking & Insurance's operations in
2007.
Telecom and media increased its share of consolidated net sales to
36% (35). The banking and insurance sector generated 22% (22) of net
sales, whereas the public sector's contribution was 15% (15). The
forest sector's contribution was 5% (5) and the energy sector's 5%
(5).
The order backlog, which only comprises services ordered with binding
contracts, amounted to EUR 1 177.9 (1 314.3) million at the end of
the period. Processing & Network's share of the order backlog is 41%.
In total, 40% (39) of the backlog is expected to be invoiced in 2008.
Performance Improvement Programme
The Performance Improvement Programme is expected to generate annual
cost savings of EUR 130 million as from the end of 2009. A major part
of the actions related to this programme will be implemented in 2008.
The benefits are expected to materialize with an over 50% run-rate
effect from the end of 2008 and in full from the end of 2009.
The programme has progressed well. The actions taken by the end of
June amount to annualized savings of EUR 71 million, which will
gradually impact on the cost base starting from the latter part of
2008 and fully in 2009. Almost two thirds of this improvement is
employee related. The rest comes from transferring production to the
global centres of excellence as well as better purchasing conditions.
The costs related to these actions have impacted and will continue to
impact TietoEnator's profitability during 2008. The restructuring
costs, provisions and impairments related to the programme are
expected to amount to approximately EUR 160 million of which one-off
costs of EUR 104.7 million materialized in 2007. TietoEnator booked
EUR 18.0 million in one-off items related to the programme in the
first half of 2008, and the rest will be booked during 2008 and 2009.
Profitability
Profitability in the second quarter
Operating profit, excluding one-off items mainly related to the
Performance Improvement Programme, improved substantially in the
second quarter and amounted to EUR 33.2 (14.8) million, representing
a margin of 6.9% (3.4).
In the second quarter of 2008, TietoEnator booked EUR 5.0 million in
one-off costs related to the programme. Out of these items, costs
from personnel restructuring totalled close to EUR 3 million.
Additionally, the company booked an income of EUR 1.3 million from
badwill recognition. There were no capital gains (capital losses of
EUR 4.9 million in 2007) in the quarter. Second-quarter operating
profit, including one-off items, amounted to EUR 29.6 (9.9) million.
Due to the vacation period, the second and third quarters are usually
weaker than the other two quarters. Compared to the corresponding
quarter of 2007, the operating margin of the underlying business has
risen substantially. However, greater use of subcontractors and
disturbance from the tender offer process ongoing during the quarter
curbed improvement to some extent. Second-quarter profit is impacted
negatively by the costs of the public tender offer, approximately EUR
3 million. Part of this cost is related to a retention compensation
for a number of key managers and the President and CEO.

In Banking & Insurance, the operating margin of the underlying
business improved to 10.0% (-5.4). In the second quarter of 2007, the
business area suffered from a few loss-making projects. The margin
improvement is partly attributable to decreased use of subcontractors
in the second quarter of 2008. Additionally, the business area's
operating margin saw one-time effect of more than 4 %-points.
In Telecom & Media, the operating margin improved somewhat to 8.2%
(7.7). However, greater use of subcontractors in the second quarter
curbed improvement.
Processing & Network's operating profit, excluding one-off items
related to the programme, rose to EUR 11.9 million (6.0). Thanks to a
higher utilization rate, the operating margin of the underlying
business rose to 10.6% (6.2).
A higher utilization rate was positively reflected in Government,
Manufacturing & Retail's profitability. In the business area
Healthcare & Welfare, the positive trend continued, driven primarily
by a higher utilization rate and better management of deliveries in
the solution-based business. However, the healthcare business in
Scandinavia and especially in Central Europe continues to struggle
with unsatisfactory profitability.
Profitability declined in the business area Forest & Energy due to
weakness in the utilities sector, where a decline in sales to a major
customer strained the margin.
Net financial expenses stood at EUR 5.8 (1.0) million in the second
quarter. Net interest expenses were EUR 2.2 (1.9) million and
one-time net losses from foreign exchange transactions EUR 0.9
(positive 1.0) million. Other financial income and expenses amounted
to EUR -2.7 (-0.1) million.
Second-quarter earnings per share (EPS) totalled EUR 0.26 (0.07).
Operating profit (EBIT) includes EUR 2.4 (2.4) million from
amortization on allocated intangible assets. The costs arising from
share-based payments of EUR 1.4 (1.5) million are included in
employee benefit expenses.
Profitability in January-June
First-half operating profit, excluding one-off items mainly related
to the Performance Improvement Programme, amounted to EUR 70.9 (47.6)
million, representing a margin of 7.5% (5.4). Greater use of
subcontractors curbed improvement to some extent. Banking &
Insurance's and Processing & Network's strong performance was the
main contributor to the better profitability of the underlying
business.
In the six-month period, TietoEnator booked EUR 18.0 million in
one-off items related to the Performance Improvement Programme. Out
of these items, costs from personnel restructuring totalled around
EUR 13 million. Additionally, the company booked an income of EUR 1.3
million from badwill recognition. Six-month operating profit,
including one-off items, amounted to EUR 54.2 (44.4) million. The
costs of the public tender offer, approximately EUR 7 million, had a
negative impact on profit. Part of this cost is related to a
retention compensation for a number of key managers and the President
and CEO.
Six-month net financial expenses stood at EUR 8.7 (3.1) million. Net
interest expenses were EUR 4.5 (3.4) million and one-time net losses
from foreign exchange transactions EUR 2.3 (positive 0.5) million.
Other financial income and expenses amounted to EUR -1.9 (-0.2)
million.
Six-month earnings per share totalled EUR 0.48 (0.39).
Operating profit (EBIT) for the six-month period includes EUR 4.9
(4.9) million from amortization on allocated intangible assets. The
costs arising from share-based payments of EUR 2.7 (2.0) million are
included in employee benefit expenses.
The 12-month rolling return on capital employed (ROCE) was 8.8% and
the return on shareholders' equity (ROE) -4.9%.
Financing and investments
Net cash flow from operations amounted to EUR 118.5 (34.8) million in
the six-month period. Operating profit contributed EUR 87.6 (81.1)
million and the decrease in working capital EUR 41.2 (increase 36.7)
million. Tax payments amounted to EUR 9.5 (8.8) million.
Dividends of EUR 35.8 were paid in April.
Payments for acquisitions totalled EUR 11.6 million in the six-month
period.
The equity ratio was 38.8% (44.4). Gearing decreased to 29.3% (31.2).
Net debt totalled EUR 138.1 (177.7) million, including EUR 226.6
million in interest-bearing debt, EUR 15.3 million in finance lease
liabilities, EUR 10.3 million in finance lease receivables and EUR
93.4 million in cash and cash equivalents.
The interest-bearing debt consists of one seven-year bond at EUR 100
million and one seven-year private placement at EUR 50 million and
usage of EUR 75 million from the short-term EUR 250 million
commercial paper programme. At the end of the quarter, unused credit
facilities totalled about EUR 425 million.
Accrual-based investments totalled EUR 59.4 (40.2) million for the
period. Capital expenditure, including financial leasing, accounted
for EUR 47.2 (24.7) million and investments in subsidiary and
associated company shares for EUR 12.2 (15.5) million.
Personnel
The number of full-time employees totalled 16 301 (15 408) at the end
of June. Acquisitions and new outsourcing contracts added 55
employees in the six months.
Employee turnover has increased. The 12-month rolling figure stood at
12.8% (9.8) at the end of June. The average number of full-time
employees was 16 361 (15 178) in the first half.
As a result of the national salary raises agreed in the collective
labour agreements in Finland and Sweden, wage inflation in Finland
and Sweden is expected to be about 4-5% in 2008.
At the end of June, the number of people in global centres of
excellence totalled about 3 700 (2 500), or 21% (15) of the total
headcount.
Board of Directors and management
On 8 May, Matti Lehti, the Chairman of TietoEnator's Board of
Directors, resigned from the Board due to health reasons. Anders

President, Human Resources and as a member of TietoEnator's Corporate

President and CEO, the Corporate Management Team (CMT) and the
Group's associated companies.
The bonus levels of the President and CEO and CMT members were
reviewed with effect from the beginning of 2008. The President and
CEO's bonus is a maximum of 100% of his annual base salary and is
based on the Group's net sales and operating profit. The reward
factors for the CMT members are based on the financial performance of
the Group and their own units. In addition, a number of key managers
of the company and the president and CEO have a retention
compensation connected to the public tender offer that was on-going
during the quarter.
In February, TietoEnator's Board of Directors decided on an
allocation of 35 000 stock options 2006 B and approximately 390 000
stock options 2006 C to key employees of TietoEnator based on
performance. In March, the Board decided on an allocation of 363 450
stock options 2006C. The President and CEO was allocated a total of
115 000 options and the Corporate Management Team members a total of
135 000 options.
In February, the Board approved the performance criteria and
allocation principles of the share-based incentive plan for 2008. The
President and CEO is entitled to a maximum of 6 000 shares and other
Corporate Management Team members to a total of 20 900 shares if the
set performance criteria are met.
Transactions with associated companies are not considered to be
material.
Shares and options
At the end of June, the total number of shares amounted to 72 023 173
and the share capital to EUR 75 841 523. The number of shares in
TietoEnator's possession totalled 361 650, representing 0.5% of the
total number of shares and voting rights. The accounting countervalue
of the shares in the company's possession amounts to EUR 361 650. The
outstanding number of shares, excluding the shares in the company's
possession, was 71 661 523 at the end of June.
In the second quarter, Goldman Sachs Group, Inc announced that its
holding in TietoEnator had decreased below the 10% threshold to
8.98%. UBS AG flagged its ownership twice. According to the latest
information, it held 3.11% of the company shares in April.
On 11 July, OP-Pohjola Group Central Cooperative (OPK) announced that
its group holding in TietoEnator Corporation increased to 5.05%.
Public tender offer and discussions with potential offerors ended
Cidron Services Oy (Nordic Capital) made an offer for all the
outstanding shares and stock options in TietoEnator on 20 March. On
26 May, Cidron Services announced that its public tender offer lapses
as the conditions to the completion of the offer were not fulfilled
during the offer period.
During and after the offer period, TietoEnator's Board of Directors
has had discussions with a number of strategic and financial parties
that have indicated their potential interest in making an offer for
the company. As none of these discussions resulted in any firm and
actionable offers for the shares, TietoEnator announced on 19 June
that discussions with potential offerors have ended.
Events after the reporting period
TietoEnator's Board of Directors has approved the new company
strategy for 2009-2011. The strategy is announced in a separate
release published on 18 July 2008.
Some items affecting 2008
The total costs related to the public tender offer are estimated to
amount to EUR 12 million in 2008. This estimate includes the
retention compensation for a number of key managers and the President
and CEO.
TietoEnator receives a discount for occupational pension premiums in
Sweden in 2008. The total impact of the discount on TietoEnator's
operating profit in 2008 is around EUR 6 million. The effect is
evenly spread over the year.
Risks and uncertainties
High personnel turnover, the availability of competent employees and
the cost of resources remain among the main risks in 2008.
Implementing the new strategy and company structure may create
uncertainty within the company.
The ability to control ever more complex multinational deliveries
also poses a continuous risk. Due to a more commoditized market and
offshore competition, price pressures continue.
A comprehensive description of the long-term risks is available in
the Report by the Board of Directors 2007.
Prospects for 2008
TietoEnator expects the demand in the IT market to remain at a good
level. Turbulence in the financial markets has led to some
uncertainty concerning development in 2008. Price pressures exist,
but on average, prices are expected to either stay approximately at
the same level or be higher than in 2007. TietoEnator expects the
labour market to remain challenging in 2008.
A major part of the actions related to TietoEnator's Performance
Improvement Programme will be implemented in 2008. The costs related
to these actions have impacted and will continue to impact
TietoEnator's profitability during 2008. The positive impacts of the
programme will start to materialize during the second half of 2008.
TietoEnator expects its full-year revenue growth in 2008 to follow
the overall development in the relevant market. The estimate does not
include business divestments or closures.
TietoEnator is pursuing the full turnaround of the company by the end
of 2009. The revised strategy, the Performance Improvement Programme
and the actions taken so far will have a positive impact on the
company's profitability in the future.

On-going legal disputes
TietoEnator has an ongoing VAT disupute with the Finnish tax
authorities concerning a sum of EUR 5.3 million. Certain other old
legal disputes are also ongoing; as these are minor and
insubstantial, no provisions have been made for them.
Contingent assets
The Finnish tax authorities have confirmed an additonal loss EUR 41.0
million (of which a deferred tax asset EUR 10.7 million could be
recognized) on the loss incurred by the parent company in connection
with the intra-group transaction carried out in April 2004, but the
decision has been contested.
