Business operations
QPR Software´s mission is to make customers agile and efficient in their operations. We innovate, develop, and sell software aimed at analyzing, monitoring, and modeling operations in organizations. Furthermore, we offer customers consulting services related to our software.
OUTLOOK
Operating environment and market outlook
In recent years, QPR Software has made significant investments in developing the Company´s process mining software, as well as in renewing the user interfaces of its software products. The Company estimates that the demand for process mining software and related services will continue to grow rapidly over the course of 2020.
In developed markets, we expect the competition for process and enterprise architecture modeling software, as well as for performance management software to remain tight. However, there is still growth potential for these products in emerging markets, especially for performance management software.
Outlook for 2020
Despite the apparent negative effects to its business due to corona virus pandemic, QPR does not change its outlook for 2020, published on February 27, 2020. Based on current information, we estimate that the pandemic will have negative effects on our business mainly on the second and third quarter of this year.
In the first quarter, the effects of coronavirus pandemic were relatively limited. We saw negative effects of the pandemic mainly in private sector consulting business. Furthermore, there were delays in software purchases and decisions started to take longer time than usually.
Outlook published on February 27, 2020 remains intact
Based on actual sales performance in early 2020 and current sales funnel, QPR expects net sales to grow in 2020 (2019: EUR 9,513 thousand). The most significant sources of growth are international process mining and performance management software sales and deliveries. Operating result (EBIT) is estimated to be negative (2019: -213 thousand) due to planned increase in European sales personnel and growth investments in software products. EBITDA is expected to be positive (2019: EUR 1,036 thousand).
Mid-term financial targets
The Company´s mid-term target in 2020 – 2022 is to grow net sales by an average of 15 – 20% per annum. The target is mainly based on international net sales growth in process mining, where we target an annual growth of over 50%.

REVIEW BY THE CEO
The most important target for us this year is to grow our international software business. Our recent investments into process mining software development and into renewal of all user interfaces of our software products have significantly strengthened our competitiveness in international software markets. After these investments we now focus on growing of our international direct sales and building new strategic partnerships.
We are currently increasing sales resources in European key markets, such as the United Kingdom and France. We have already acquired the first significant reference customers in these markets, and now is the right time to add sales resources. We continue to strengthen also our product development resources this year. Great user experience, high performance and excellent cloud service scalability remain our priorities.
Our personnel has, for the time being, moved almost fully into remote work due to coronavirus pandemic. This transition has been very smooth. The results of our product development are excellent and we have been able to proceed as planned. The deliveries of software have generally proceeded well and without delays. Most of the effects arising from the lock-down caused by the pandemic we have seen in sales and consulting, but together with our customers we have been able to find new and well working methods also in these functions. For this, I would like to extend my warmest thanks to our team and customers.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
January – March 2020
The Group´s operating result was EUR 45 thousand (187) and represented 2% of net sales (7).

Furthermore, the Company launched a key employee stock option plan in 2019.
STRATEGY
Our target is to grow our net sales by an average of 15 – 20% per annum over the next three years. The target is mainly based on international net sales growth in process mining, where we target annual growth of over 50%.

We will further accelerate product development by increasing our resources in a controlled manner. In software development, we place special focus on excellent user experience. We focus our product development to meet the challenges our client organizations face, especially in leading and developing their operations in a digitalizing world. A special focus area for development is process mining.
In the next few years, we seek growth especially in our international software sales. To reach this target, we will continue to increase our resources and investments in international marketing and sales.
We also actively seek strategic partnerships to strengthen our international software sales and product development.
