OUTLOOK FOR 2016

F-Secure anticipates its overall security revenues to grow in 2016 compared to the year before (2015: EUR 148 million).

EBIT for continuing operations is estimated to be EUR 17-21 million (2015: EUR 20 million).

FURTHER DESCRIPTIONS

In 2015 F-Secure gave its profitability guidance as EBIT (non-IFRS), in which the cost impact of the deferred

payment and earn-out elements of the nSense acquisition were excluded. In 2016, the EBIT guidance includes

an estimated EUR 3 million cost impact from these elements, hence the guided figure is not directly comparable

to that given in 2015.

Revenue growth is expected to continue especially in the Company's cyber security services, corporate security

products (in particular Protection Service for Business) sold through the reseller channel, and direct-to-

consumer sales of F-Secure’s multi-device security offering SAFE and the privacy product Freedome. Sales of

consumer security through the operator channel are expected to remain largely flat. The revenue outlook is

based on the sales pipeline at the time of this outlook, existing subscriptions and contracts, as well as current

exchange rates.

F-Secure is actively investing in the development and commercialization of several new products. The cost of

development as well as expenses relating to commercial launches are likely to have an impact on the Company’s

overall profitability in the short to medium term while the revenues from the new products, including Sense for

the protection of smart homes and an advanced threat protection solution for enterprises, are difficult to

estimate and may remain low. This cost impact has been taken into account in the Company’s profitability

guidance and is in line with the Company’s principle to prioritize growth over short-term profitability.

As of the beginning of 2015 the personal cloud storage business (younited), which was sold to Synchronoss Technologies in February, is reported as discontinued operations. Consequently, comparison figures related to the statement of income have been restated. Comparison figures in the text refer to continuing operations only and the corresponding period of the previous year, unless otherwise stated.

As of 2 June 2015 the acquired cyber security services business (nSense) has been consolidated into the F-Secure Group accounts.

F-Secure has decided to change its reporting on revenue. As of Q4 2015, the revenue split will be reported between consumer security revenue (including operator and direct-to-consumer businesses) and corporate security revenue (including corporate reseller and cyber security services business).

The previous split between operator and non-operator businesses is used in parallel with the new revenue reporting in this Q4 2015 interim report, but will be discontinued thereafter.
