CEO'S REVIEW

We increased our sales over 80 % compared to Q1/2016 and 12 % compared to Q2/2015. We closed an EUR 3.2 million Universal SSH Key Manager deal with a leading global financial institution. We also closed several smaller yet significant CryptoAuditor deals with leading service providers.

Our focus on increasing license sales is starting to pay off – H1/2016 license sales were nearly 50 % higher than H1/2015. We expect this trend to continue as we focus on license and subscription sales that bring in higher margin revenue than services. However, the large size of individual deals compared to our total revenue makes quarterly revenue forecasting challenging for the time being.

Despite these improvements, neither our revenue nor especially profitability are satisfactory yet.  We keep relentlessly focusing on building our sales team and improving our sales execution. We keep focusing on increasing license sales, yet we also further build our service capability to be able to provide comprehensive solutions to some of the leading companies of the world.  In the short term, our focus is on growth and market share, even at the expense of profitability.

During the quarter, we divested our MobileID business which provided two-factor authentication solutions. While this business was sound, it was not a good fit with our core focus. The divestment does not have a material effect on our quarterly or annual results.

We kept improving our products with new releases of our CryptoAuditor and our flagship Universal SSH Key Manager product. These new releases answer the growing needs of our customers and further solidify the technology leadership of SSH Communications Security.

The development of our next generation firewall and encryption products continues and discussions with initial customers are proceeding well. Our patent enforcement activities are progressing with initial rulings expected during the second half of the year.

We significantly improved our cash position by successfully completing an EUR 8 million share offering in June. The offering was oversubscribed in a few hours and brought in two new major institutional investors, reflecting the faith investors are placing in our future prospects. I humbly thank the new investors and welcome them on board.

The outlook for the rest of the year remains strong. We are seeing a growing pipeline, several large new deals are in negotiations, and we are seeing increasing interest in our products across the board.

There are new uncertainties in the macro environment that we are monitoring closely. The key change, obviously, was the UK voting for “Brexit”. This has impacted exchange rates and may lengthen the decision-making processes of some customers, especially in the financial sector.

All in all, we are now better than ever positioned to answer the cybersecurity challenges of both our existing and new customers. I look forward to an exciting and work-filled rest of the year.

SHARE CAPITAL AND BOARD AUTHORIZATIONS

The company’s registered share capital on June 30, 2016 was EUR 1,029,773.49, consisting of 34,325,783 shares.

The Annual General Meeting approved the Board of Directors’ proposal to authorize the Board of Directors to decide upon the issuing of a maximum of 6,000,000 shares as a share issue against payment or by giving stock options or other special rights entitling to shares, in accordance with Chapter 10 Section 1 of the Finnish Limited Liability Companies Act, either according to the shareholders’ pre-emptive right to share subscription or deviating from this right, in one or more tranches. Based on the authorization, either new shares can be issued or own shares, which the company possibly has in its possession, can be transferred. Based on the authorization, the Board of Directors has the same right as the Annual General Meeting to decide on the issuing of shares against payment and special rights (including stock options) in accordance with Chapter 10 Section 1 of the Finnish Limited Liability Companies Act. Thereby, the authorization to be given to the Board of Directors includes, inter alia, the right to deviate from the shareholders’ pre-emptive rights with directed issues providing that the company has a weighty financial reason for the deviation in respect of the share issue against payment.   Furthermore, the authorization includes the Board of Directors’ right to decide who are entitled to the shares and/or stock options or special rights in accordance with Chapter 10 Section 1 of the Finnish Limited Liability Companies Act as well as on the related compensation, subscription and payment periods and on the registering of the subscription price into the share capital or invested non-restricted equity fund within the limits of the Finnish Limited Liability Companies Act.

The authorization will be valid until the next Annual General Meeting, but will however expire at the latest on June 30th 2017. As announced on May 27, 2016, the Board of Directors decided upon an option plan of maximum 400,000 options. As announced on June 20, 2016, a directed share issue of 2,950,000 shares were issued.

The Annual General Meeting approved the Board of Directors’ proposal to authorize the Board of Directors to decide upon the acquiring of a maximum of 2,000,000 shares of the company with assets belonging to the company’s non-restricted equity. The shares can also be acquired otherwise than in proportion to the holdings of the existing shareholders (directed acquisition). The maximum compensation to be paid for the acquired shares shall be the market price at the time of purchase, which is determined in the public trading. The Board of Directors proposes that the authorization for the acquiring of the company’s own shares would be used, inter alia, to strengthen the company's capital structure, to finance and realize corporate acquisitions and other arrangements, to realize the share-based incentive programs of the company or otherwise to be kept by the company, to be transferred for other purposes or to be cancelled. The acquisition of shares reduces the company’s distributable non-restricted equity. Decision concerning the acquiring of own shares cannot be made so that the combined amount of the own shares which are in the possession of, or held as pledges by, the company or its subsidiaries exceeds one-tenth of all shares. The Board of Directors decides on all other matters related to the acquisition of shares.  

The authorization will be valid until the next Annual General Meeting, but will however expire at the latest on June 30th 2017.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Largest risks that might impact the profitability of the company have remained by and large the same than in previous reporting period and are listed below. Other risks, which are currently either unknown or considered immaterial to SSH Communications Security may, however, become material in the future.

Largest risks:

- continuing uncertainty of the macroeconomic environment

- delays on product development and closing new business

- competitiveness of the product portfolio including intellectual property (IPR)

- litigation, especially in U.S. market

- competitive dynamics in the industry

- cybercrime

- ability of the organization to scale up operations with the growth

- large portion of the company revenue is invoiced in USD currency so possible large fluctuation in USD currency rates during 2016 could have unpredictable effects for profitability that are at the time difficult to estimate. Currently USD currency position is not hedged, and company decides hedging of USD based contracts case by case.  

Utilization of the company´s patent portfolio may have significant positive and/or negative impacts.

Principles and organization of risk management of SSH Communications Security can be read from company´s webpage: www.ssh.com .

FUTURE OUTLOOK

In 2016, SSH Communications Security estimates its revenue to grow significantly from 2015.
