COMMENTS BY ESA HARJU, PRESIDENT & CEO
"In the third quarter of 2025, operational performance remained strong, and both business segments progressed according to plan. Revenue grew as expected, and profitability improved significantly compared to the corresponding period last year. Order intake was on par with the comparison period, following a strong order accumulation in the first half of the year. Operating cash flow continued positive.
In the Broadband Networks segment, delivery volumes of 1.8 GHz intelligent network technology to North American customers remained at a high level and increased significantly year-on-year. In Europe, deliveries continued at the same level as earlier in the year and in the comparison period. Profitability improved noticeably from the previous year. Order intake was lower than in the comparison period as customers placed a greater share of their orders earlier in the year; however, the cumulative order intake for the full year to date is clearly higher than in the previous year. In July, we announced a delivery agreement with VodafoneZiggo for the construction of a DOCSIS 4.0 broadband network in the Netherlands using Teleste's 1.8 GHz technology. In September, we announced the expansion of our production facilities to Mexico, bringing us closer to the North American market.
In the Public Safety and Mobility segment, the year also progressed strongly and in line with plans. Delivery volumes and revenue were generated from multiple projects. All key indicators - order intake, revenue, and profitability - developed positively compared to the same period last year. In August, we announced an agreement with a new train manufacturer, Hitachi, for the delivery of train systems in Italy. In September, we announced another new customer agreement with Rebl Group Oyj's subsidiary PunaMusta Oy, for the delivery of thousands of digital displays to Helsinki Region Transport (HSL) infrastructure.
The global operating environment remained uncertain. Changes in import tariffs in the United States continue to have implications for global markets and the overall business environment. We have implemented several adjustment measures, and the impact of tariffs on third-quarter results was limited. We expect the operating environment to remain uncertain for the remainder of the year and into 2026.
In conjunction with this stock exchange release, we have specified our financial guidance range for the current year. We expect full-year results to be significantly stronger than in the previous year, particularly in terms of profitability, providing a solid foundation for the execution of our longer-term strategy."
