F-Secure top it Security - seit 4 Jahren nichts mehr in w:o - Zeit für diesen Thread! - 500 Beiträge pro Seite

[CrashKid]

Es geht um F-Secure WKN 928744 - ein It Investment das hier
vielleicht etwas in Vergessenheit geraten ist aber enormes Wachstumsspotential besitzt!

Das finanziell sehr gut ausgestattete Virenschutzsoftwareunternehmen aus Finnland,
vertreibt Software die in Zukunft immer wichtiger wird – Sicherheitslösungen und
Antivierensoftware z.B. auch für Handys – was sich in den Umsätzen kommender Jahre erst richtig
bemerkbar machen wird!!!!

Verteidigungs-Ministerium, US-Air Force, Amazon, Yahoo, Nokia, New World Telecom ect... sind unter Ihren Kunden.



Es ist schon verwunderlich, dass diese " Klitsche" eine respektable MktKap. von ca. 200Mio € hat und doch so wenig beachtet wird. Ein typischer Smallcap also.
Der aber alles andere als ums Überleben kämpft !!!
Der kontinuirliche Anstieg der letzten Monate wird die nächsten Jahre sicherlich “Mehr “ als anhalten!!!!
Für die neue Handygeneration sind Viren eine nicht zu unterschätzende Bedrohung der Zukunft und warden uns noch viel Ärger aber viell auch Börsengewinne bescheren !

Dazu ein deutlicher Umsatzanstieg im letzten Quartal!

Denke mal da bietet sich ne grosse Chance

Unique portal allows small and medium sized companies to improve the security of their PCs or outsource it to a service provider

Helsinki, Finland - February 6, 2006

F-Secure today announces a unique corporate security concept, F-Secure Service Platform for Businesses, representing a major opportunity for multiple service providers to offer security services to the Small and Medium Sized Business sector (SMB). The service, based upon award winning client software and an easy-to-use www-based administration portal developed by F-Secure, will offer complete protection against present data security threats either through the business client itself or via the service provider.
The key advantage of the new service is the increased level of automation in the security solution and the ease of management. Accordingly, companies need to spend significantly less time implementing and managing security with the new solution than previously.
F-Secure Service Platform for Businesses is able to protect against viruses, spyware, malware and intrusion attempts. In addition, it also includes a firewall, as well as spam and content filtering. A company’s workstations and the network covered by the service can be controlled through the web-based management portal. The security status is available 24/7 in real time and security risks can be addressed without delay. The client organization can therefore manage and take control of its own network or outsource its management to a service provider.
The concept has been piloted with four different service providers around the world: New World Telecom in Hong Kong, intY in the UK, the portal Infinito.it in Italy and Finnet in Finland. It is now available to all service providers interested in targeting the SMB sector. License control has also been made flexible and easy thanks to the web-based management portal and the absence of extra installation components, as is the case with competing workstation security software.
Speaking about the launch, Riikka Jakovuori, Business Development Manager at F-Secure said: “The needs of IT security change continuously which in turn place great demands on enterprises to increase know-how, resources and budgets to cover maintenance and upkeep. Until now security as a service has been out of reach for SMBs and accordingly they have had to choose between consumer products and enterprise grade solutions without either being particularly well suited to their needs.”
“The F-Secure Service Platform for Businesses from F-Secure enables the SMB sector to ensure cost efficient security services, which they presently lack. The pilot schemes have proved the workability of this solution and service providers such as Internet service providers, telco’s and other type of network service providers have proven to be the natural choice for service provision to this significant business sector,” Jakovuori concludes.
"The unique new service concept developed by F-Secure helps the corporations` IT managers to follow the security status of the corporations` workstations and network. We at New World Telecom or our customers themselves can easily proactively spot and isolate the disruptive workstation and prevent a possible crisis situation in advance. We are pleased to be able to offer our customers together with F-Secure an automated always-on service that does not need any extra installation components nor concern about updates", said York Mok, Vice President of Marketing, New World Telecom.
"The F-Secure Service Platform for Businesses will prove a valuable tool to help small and medium sized businesses secure their desktop PCs. The easy to use and easy to manage format make it an ideal solution for busy smaller businesses, leaving them with the peace of mind that their PCs are protected from malicious threats. We will be looking at how we can integrate the F-Secure Service Platform for Businesses into our existing range of security products, giving our customers protection from email and web-based security threats at both the network and desktop level," said Mark Herbert, Founder Director of intY Ltd.

F-Secure: Rekordergebnis für das Geschäftsjahr 2005

Umsatzzuwachs im Virenschutzgeschäft von 44% / Gesamtumsätze erreichten eine neue Rekordmarke von 61,8 Mio Euro

Helsinki, 14. Februar 2006 – F-Secure wuchs in zehn aufeinander folgenden Quartalen schneller als seine börsennotierten Wettbewerber. Das Unternehmen konnte seinen Gewinn vor Steuern und Zinsen trotz Investitionen und beträchtlicher anderweitiger Finanzaufwendungen auf 7,4 Millionen Euro steigern (6,5 Mio. in 2004). Das rasanteste Wachstum war im Endverbraucher- und Service Provider-Geschäft zu beobachten. F-Secure hat im Laufe des Jahres 2005 119 neue Mitarbeiter eingestellt, die meisten davon in Finnland. Mehr als 64% des Unternehmensumsatzes stammen aus Ländern außerhalb Skandinaviens.

`Das Hauptziel für 2005 war, schneller zu wachsen als unsere Mitbewerber im Bereich Virenschutz- und Intrusion Prevention. Das haben wir mit einem Wachstum von 44% erreicht`, kommentiert Risto Siilasmaa, CEO von F-Secure, das Geschäftsergebnis. `Wir haben beobachtet, dass sich das Kaufverhalten unserer Kunden dramatisch ändert und dass Endverbraucher wie Unternehmenskunden Datensicherheit nun vorzugsweise in Form von Dienstleistungen erwerben. Wir sind klarer Marktführer bei der Bereitstellung von Datensicherheit in Europa mit über 70 Dienstleistern, die ihren Kunden ausschließlich F-Secure-basierte Security Services verkaufen. Unser gutes Ergebnis im Geschäft mit Endkunden-orientierten ISPs hat uns ermutigt, mit unseren Sicherheits- und Service-Konzeptlösungen auf den KMU-Sektor zu expandieren. Diese Expansion hat sich im Jahr 2005 positiv entwickelt.`

In 2005 brachte F-Secure eine Reihe von neuen Produkten auf den Markt. Für Service Provider bieten die Plattformen von F-Secure flexible und effiziente Lösungen. Die Produktpalette umfasst unterschiedliche Plattformen, die auf Groß- und Kleinunternehmen, Endverbraucher, Mobilfunkkunden, Betreibernetzwerke und Gateway-Systeme abgestimmt sind. Außerdem baute F-Secure sein Produktangebot durch die Akquisition von Rommon Ltd aus. Das finnische Unternehmen bietet Lösungen auf Netzwerkebene für Service Provider, um Unterbrechungen im Netzbetrieb zu beobachten und zu kontrollieren. Das neue Kombi-Produkt F-Secure Network Control verhindert Netzwerkmissbrauch und netzwerk-basierte Angriffe, die eine typische Ursache für Probleme mit der Bandbreite oder DoS-Attacken (Denial of Service) darstellen.

Im Bereich Unternehmenslösungen weitete F-Secure sein Angebotsspektrum mit dem Produkt F-Secure Messaging Security Gateway aus. Die Appliance wurde auf dem Markt positiv aufgenommen. Im Endverbrauchersektor wurde das Wachstum durch eine steigende Anzahl an Hochgeschwindigkeits-Internetverbindungen und ein ständig steigendes Sicherheitsbewusstsein für die drohenden Gefahren unterstützt.

Der bedeutendste Faktor für weiteres Wachstum bei F-Secure liegt im Dienstleistungs-Konzept. Positive Impulse werden zudem durch die konsistente Entwicklung der Vertriebskanäle auf allen zentralen Märkten Europas erreicht sowie durch ein stetig wachsendes Produkt-Portfolio, zuverlässige Dienstleistungen und eine sorgfältig gesteuerte geografische Expansion. Wachstumspotenzial für das F-Secure Geschäft ist insbesondere in Nordamerika und Asien zu sehen. Auch die zunehmenden Bedrohungen des Mobilfunkverkehrs durch Viren, die im Jahr 2005 beobachtet werden konnten, fördern das Wachstum im Markt für IT-Sicherheit. Kooperationen mit Mobilfunkbetreibern, Nokia und anderen Unternehmen in der Mobilfunkbranche, die F-Secure in den vergangenen Monaten eingegangen ist, lassen optimistisch in die Zukunft blicken.

F-Secure’s turnover in antivirus grew by 44% in year 2005

Total revenue reaches new record of 61,8m euro
Helsinki, Finland - February 14, 2006


F-Secure has been growing faster than its stock exchange listed competitors for ten consecutive quarters. The company was able to raise its EBIT up to 7,4m euro for the complete year (6,5m in 2004) despite investments and other extensive inputs. The fastest growth was seen in the consumer and the service provider businesses. F-Secure hired 119 new professionals to demanding positions during 2005, the majority of whom are in Finland. Over 64% of the corporation’s turnover comes from outside the Nordic countries.



The graph above represents F-Secure’s growth in the last ten quarters compared to other publicly listed competitors. In the last quarter of 2005 the industry showed a considerable slowdown in growth compared to the last year. Contrary to this trend, F-Secure’s growth accelerated by over 50 %.

In 2005 F-Secure announced a number of new product solutions. In its product announcements the company has taken special consideration of the fastest developing and latest business models in the field of data security. In this manner, F-Secure has been able to create new business possibilities in the data security ecosystem for different parties such as the corporate business focused Internet or IT service providers, consumer ISP enterprises and mobile phone operators.

F-Secure Group First Quarter 2006 Financial Results

100 Service Provider Partners Reached
Helsinki, Finland - April 26, 2006


(Unless otherwise stated comparisons are made to the same period one year ago.)

Q1 Highlights

Total revenue increased by 41% to a record level of 18.8m
Corporate business increased by 22% to 9m
Service provider business increased by 80% to 5.8m
100th ISP signed
Consumer business increased by 80% to 3.4m
Other revenues 0.7m
EBIT increased over 270% to 2.9m (0.8m); 16% of revenues
Deferred revenues increased by 1.9m to 25.1m during Q1
Cash flow 3.9m positive
Business at the Group level

The first quarter of 2006 presented another quarter of sequential growth for the Group. The business advanced steadily in all areas.

Total revenues were 18.8m (13.3m), representing 41% growth. EBIT increased over 270% to 2.9m (0.8m) Cash flow was 3.9m positive (2.2m) and deferred revenues were at the end of the quarter at 25.1m (19.5m).

Highlights of the quarter were the continuing strong development in Security as a Service, continuing the establishment of a strong foothold in Asia, and the signing of the 100th Service Provider partnership. Mobile security showed steadily increasing sales traction.

The Group has now finalized its strategy to exit from the encryption business and will not report encryption revenues separately any more. The tail-end encryption revenues will be filed in the “other products” category from now on.

The total fixed costs were 14.3m (11.4m), representing 25% growth. The Group’s short-term strategy continues to be to prioritize growth over profitability. Above all, investments into achieving a strong sustainable position in the fast growing security service market are seen as vital for the Group’s future growth. The Group capitalizes some of its development expenses according to the IFRS rules. This decreases costs by approximately 0.4m.

The geographical breakdown of the business was as follows: Nordic Countries 38% (38%), Rest of Europe 44% (44%), North America 9% (10%) and Rest of the World 9% (9%). Anti-virus and intrusion prevention represented 98% of the total revenues.

According to the latest global survey made in the autumn of 2005 customer satisfaction has stabilized at good levels. Overall satisfaction was 4.27 (4.30) on a scale of 1 to 5. Relentless focus on customer satisfaction is one of the Group’s core philosophies. Our target remains to reach 4.50 in customer satisfaction.

Business in different segments in Q1

In the first quarter of 2006, revenues in the corporate customer segment through resellers and IT services companies were 9m (7.3m), representing 49% of the anti-virus and intrusion prevention business and growth of 22% from the previous year. Competitive solutions, a strong focus on partners and support continued to contribute to the growth in this segment.

Revenues through the service provider channel were 5.8m (3.2m), representing 32% of the anti-virus and intrusion prevention business and growth of 80% from the previous year. Service-like security is the prime F-Secure way to deliver value to its customers.

Consumer revenues were 3.4m (1.9m), representing 19% of the anti-virus and intrusion prevention business. Revenue growth rate continued strong, 80% from previous year. Successfully launched new comprehensive products along with continuing successes in channel recruitment and online sales were key contributors to growth.

Mobile security revenues represented 1% of the anti-virus and intrusion prevention business. The interest in the Group’s solutions among phone vendors, mobile operators and corporate customers was at a high level. F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus showed a clear increase in consumer and corporate channel sales.

Competitive situation

There have been signs of increasing price competition in some countries while other countries have maintained the status quo. The Group has successfully flanked pricing attacks through offering a premium product with richer functionality and better service. Especially the Group’s outstanding response times to virus outbreaks have received a lot of positive attention and even opened new opportunities in traditionally difficult markets, such as North America.

Security as a Service

The Group sees that there is an ongoing, fundamental change in customers’ buying behaviour. Consumers and businesses will prefer to purchase security as a subscription service to all other alternatives. The Group has been a leader in supporting this change with a dedicated Service Platform offering for different target audiences: Enterprises, Businesses, Consumers, Gateways, Mobile Phones and Operator Networks.

During the quarter, the total number of ISP partners exceeded 100 and is currently 101 in 27 countries. The Group is clearly the global market leader in providing security as a service solutions through ISPs. The Group’s strength in the ISP market is clear: leading market share globally, excellent partner retention track record and fastest speed of signing new partners.

A partnership was signed with Wind Telecommunications in Italy to provide total Internet security through their portal libero.it. New World Telecom in Hong Kong was a groundbreaking Service Platform for Businesses deal in Asia. A2Z in Belgium signed a Service Platform for Enterprises partnership.

In Q2 the Group launched a partnership with Reliance Communications in India (Service Platform for Consumers). Significant partnerships were signed in early Q2 and will be announced in the near future.

Mobile security

The Group’s long-term pioneering investment to raise awareness in mobile security issues continued to yield results.

The sales of F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus increased clearly during the quarter signaling increased end user awareness of security threats.

The Group partnered with Orange to offer an automatic antivirus service in Switzerland, to be downloaded and updated directly to a user’s mobile phone from the mobile Internet portal Orange World.

F-Secure continued close cooperation with Nokia. F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus was announced to be available for the recently announced devices based on S60 3rd edition. In Nokia N71 and N80, F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus will be distributed as the default antivirus application in the standard device sales package and in the Nokia E60, E61 and E70 devices, the antivirus client will be available through Nokia Catalogs service.

Product Leadership

The key launch in Q1 was F-Secure Messaging Security Gateway™ P-Series for large enterprises and service partners against spam, viruses, phishing, denial of service attacks and directory harvesting attacks. The appliance also helps enterprises and service partners to enforce outbound email policies, defend against leakages of confidential information and comply with email-related regulations.

A new version of F-Secure Network Control was released as the first fully in-house developed version of the product acquired through Rommon Oy late last year.

Personnel and Organization

The Group's personnel numbered 410 at the end of the quarter (336).

The Group’s Executive Team consists of the following persons: Pekka Kuusela (Executive Vice President, Sales and Marketing), Aki Mänttäri (Director, Human Resources), Pirkka Palomäki (Executive Vice President, Research and Development), Risto Siilasmaa (President and CEO), Taneli Virtanen (Chief Financial Officer) and Travis Witteveen (Executive Vice President, Products & Services).

Financing

The Group’s financial position remained strong. The Group’s equity ratio on March 31, 2006, was 67% (84%). The equity ratio would have been 79% if the dividends were paid already in March. Financial income for Q1 was 0.2m (0.5m) including SRV accrual for interest.

During Q1 cash flow was positive 3.9m(2.2m). The market value of the liquid assets of the Group was on March 31, 2006 65.4m(52.2m).

The change in the USD-EUR exchange rate has had some positive effect on revenues and slightly on results.

Capital Expenditures

The Group’s capital expenditures for the quarter were 1.2m(0.6m). These consisted mainly of IT hardware, software, capitalization of development expenses.

Shares, Shareholders' Equity, and Option Programs

In Q1, A total of 53,150 F-Secure shares were subscribed for with the A1/A2 warrants and a total of 7,250 F-Secure shares were subscribed for with the B1/B2 warrants attached to the F-Secure 2002 Warrant Plan.

In aggregate the number of shares was increased by 60,400. The corresponding increase in the share capital, in total EUR 604 was registered in the Finnish Trade Register on January 9, 2006. F Secure received as additional shareholders' equity a total of EUR 38,415.

After the reporting period, a total of 64,600 F-Secure shares were subscribed for with the A1/A2 warrants and a total of 39,050 F-Secure shares were subscribed for with the B1/B2 warrants attached to the F-Secure 2002 Warrant Plan.

In aggregate the number of shares was increased by 103,650. The corresponding increase in the share capital, in total EUR 1,036.50 was registered in the Finnish Trade Register on April 4, 2006. F Secure received as additional shareholders' equity a total of EUR 73,905.

As a result of the increases, the share capital of F-Secure currently is EUR 1,548,758.68 and the total number of shares is 154,875,868. The corresponding number of shares fully diluted would be 161,464,443 including all stock option programs.

Corporate Governance

F-Secure complies with the Corporate Governance recommendations for public listed companies published in December 2003 by HEX Plc, the Central Chamber of Commerce of Finland and the Confederation of Finnish Industry and Employers as explained on company’s web pages.

Future Outlook

The Group’s three key goals in 2006 are closely to follow the track implemented during the recent years:

1) To continue to grow the anti-virus and intrusion prevention business significantly faster than the industry. The recent estimates (gathered by F-Secure) for market growth vary between 10-15% in the corporate segment and between 25-30% in the consumer segment.

The prime vehicle for the Group’s future growth is Security as a Service. This growth will also be pursued through systematically growing various channels in the key European markets, an increasingly comprehensive product offering, impeccable service and a carefully increased geographical scope. The Group sees tangible business opportunities in North America and Asia.

Key opportunities to be pursued in the consumer business are new, innovative channel models, as was showcased in early 2006 with an announcement with Barclays Internet Bank. On the corporate side, extra leverage is expected to come from security appliances, i.e. F-Secure Messaging Security Gateway.
