Tiivistelmä
The purpose of the thesis was to examine how changes in macroeconomic factors can affect Teleste Oyj's financial performance. Teleste Oyj is a Finnish technology business that provides Public Safety and Mobility solutions and Broadband Networks. Due to recent global economic instability, the profitability and cost structure of businesses in the industrial and technology sectors have been impacted, which represents rising interest rates, inflationary pressures, and shifts in currency rate.
The primary objective of the research was to examine how macroeconomic variables affect Teleste's financial stability and what measures can be taken to make it stable in periods of instability. The study was carried out in association with the company Teleste Oyj's. Both quantitative and qualitative research methods were used. The company's financial statements were subjected to financial ratio and trend analysis to find performance trends and sensitivity to changes in the economy. Semi structured interviews and business presentations were used to gather qualitative data.
According to the study, it takes one to two years for Teleste's financial performance to react to macroeconomic shocks. Due to rising interest rates and increase in the cost of raw material, profitability was hindered. While revenue and gross margins were impacted by changes in exchange rates. The results also showed that flexibility in strategies, cost monitoring, and internal communication were crucial in reducing these outside demands
It was concluded that even if company cannot completely avoid the consequences of changes in the global economy, it can improve its financial resilience by proactive cost management and flexible financing alternatives for clients. Improving forecasting systems with macroeconomic indicators, strengthening interdepartmental cooperation, and incorporating financial analysis lessons into strategy planning were among the recommendations.
