Interim Report 1 January – 31 March 2024 ("first quarter")
Highlights of January – March 2024
1 Annual recurring revenue (ARR) of cloud products is calculated by multiplying monthly recurring revenue of last month of quarter by twelve. Monthly recurring revenue includes recognized revenue within the month excluding non-recurring revenue
2 Elements Cloud includes Elements Cloud portfolio software and services as well as the managed services
Technical change to Elements Cloud previous year revenue made in April 2024.
Annual recurring revenue (ARR) for Elements Cloud products and services will grow by 10–20 % from the end of 2023. At the end of 2023, Elements Cloud ARR was EUR 78.4 million.
Revenue from Elements Cloud products and services will grow by 10–16 % from previous year. Previous year revenue from Elements Cloud was EUR 76.1 million.
Total revenue of the group will grow by 6–12 % from previous year. Previous year revenue of the group was EUR 142.8 million.
Adjusted EBITDA of full year 2024 will be positive.
Figures in this report are unaudited. Figures in brackets refer to the corresponding period in the previous year, unless otherwise stated. Percentages and figures presented may include rounding differences and might therefore not add up precisely to the totals presented.

After 2023, year of significant transformation, we are satisfied that we have reached a cost structure that keeps the total company at break-even level, even in a slower revenue quarter.
The execution of our updated strategy is progressing as planned. We are transforming WithSecure into a partner-led SaaS company, and continue the strategic review of Cyber security consulting and Cloud
Protection for Salesforce businesses. The unexpected change of CEO will not impact the strategy execution.
After changes in the organization, WithSecure is now reporting revenue and profitability of its three businesses separately, in line with the IFRS segment reporting requirements. We think this will also improve the visibility to the different value creation capacity of each of the units.
In the first quarter of 2024, WithSecure Elements Cloud revenue grew by 10% from the previous year and was EUR 20.6 million (EUR 18.7 million). Quarterend ARR grew by 10% and was EUR 80.5 million (EUR 73.4 million). The growth driver for Elements Cloud revenue was the Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR), as well as the smaller Elements modules. Countercept MDR revenue was at the previous year level.
Of the large markets, Elements revenue continued to grow in DACH, Finland, and France, while the UK revenue decreased, and Japan remained at the same level to previous year. These are both markets where WithSecure is increasing and re-focusing its sales efforts and expects to see improvements in the longerterm sales growth.
The Elements Company segment (including Elements Cloud products and services, as well as the Onpremise products and Other products) reached an Adjusted EBITDA of EUR 1 million (EUR -4.3 million). This is in line with our plans of maintaining and improving profitability while the company grows.
In expanding our product offering further we have now opened the early access program to our Exposure Management. The product will officially be launched at our third SPHERE event in May. We are looking forward to the new possibilities to provide our partners and their mid-market end customers with the ability to drive the paradigm shift from reactive to proactive cyber security.
Cloud Protection for Salesforce revenue, which is now reported separately from the Elements Cloud, was at the previous year level of EUR 2.0 million (EUR 2.0 million). The lack of growth mainly results from a delay of some customer contracts that did not close as anticipated in the first quarter. CPSF remains as a unique solution for content protection in the Salesforce environment, and we expect it to generate additional value for WithSecure going forward.
Cyber security consulting, managed as a separate business unit from the beginning of 2024, did not reach its revenue and profitability targets in the first quarter. Revenue declined by 5% from the previous year and was EUR 7.6 million (EUR 8.0 million). This was caused by delays in some large customers' cyber security spend in the beginning of the year. The low revenue caused the Gross margin to drop to 38%, which in turn led to a negative Adjusted EBITDA of Consulting of EUR -0.5 million (EUR -0.8 million). WithSecure cyber security consultants continue to deliver world-class, research-based offensive security services to our customers. We will continue to improve coordination between customer demand and resourcing of the work, to maintain continuous profitability between quarters.

On 8 April 2024, WithSecure CEO Juhani Hintikka announced that he steps down from his position in the company. The decision follows the Supreme Court ruling where he was found guilty of abuse of inside information related to a matter years before he joined WithSecure. I want to thank Juhani for his leadership in taking WithSecure through a significant transformation. The entire team and I will proudly continue the work in becoming a leading European cyber security company.

Revenue of WithSecure Group increased by 3% to EUR 36.2 million (EUR 35.2). Further analysis on revenue is disclosed in the segments section of this report.
Operating expenses (excluding depreciation, amortization and impairment and items impacting comparability) were EUR -26.1 million (EUR -31.0 million). The reduction of expenses results from cost savings and other efficiency measures carried out during 2023 by WithSecure. Depreciation and amortization were EUR -2.4 million (EUR-2.6 million) and amortization of PPA was EUR -0.6 million (EUR -0.6 million).
Adjusted EBITDA of the group was EUR 0.0 million (EUR -6.2 million). Items affecting comparability (IAC) of EBITDA were EUR +0.1 million (EUR -4.6 million). Of this, approximately EUR -0.7 million relates to strategy projects, EUR +0.4 million to reversals of restructuring provisions and +0.3 million to valuation of earn-out from previously divested business.
Cash flow from operating activities before financial items and taxes was EUR -2.4 million (EUR -5.3 million). Cash flow was driven by positive development in operative result which was partly offset by restructuring related payments of EUR 2.4 million. Cash flow from operating activities was -2.2 million (EUR -6.5 million).
Cash flow from investments EUR -0.6 million (EUR -12.3 million) is related to investments in intangible and tangible assets. Comparison period includes also investments in corporate commercial papers and short-term deposits.

Elements Company segment includes Elements Cloud products and services, managed services (including Countercept Managed Detection and Response, MDR), on-premise products, and Other products.
Elements is a modular platform, with currently 5 modules that the customer can select. The largest driver of growth is the Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) module that is typically acquired by the customer to complement the Endpoint Protection (EPP) product. Also, other modules (Vulnerability Management and Collaboration protection for Microsoft 365) are contributing to the revenue growth. The latest addition to the platform is the Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) that provides automated identification and remediation of risks related to cloud infrastructures.
On-premise products revenue includes WithSecure Business Suite endpoint protection software, as well as some other legacy products.
Other products revenue includes minor products combining software and service work, as well as speaker fees and other occasional revenue streams
Elements Company revenue increased by 6% to EUR 26.6 million (EUR 25.2 million). The change is a result of growing Elements Cloud revenue and declining On-premise revenue.
Elements Cloud revenue increased by 10% to EUR 20.6 million (EUR 18.7 million).
Largest growth came from the EDR product, as well as the smaller Elements modules. Countercept MDR revenue remained at the previous year level. Of the large markets, Elements revenue growth continued in DACH, Finland and France. In the UK, the cloud revenue decreased year-on-year. In Japan, the revenue remained at the previous year level. Both of the latter are markets where WithSecure is increasing and re-focusing its sales efforts.
Elements Cloud Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) increased by 10% to EUR 80.5 million (EUR 73.4 million).
On-premise revenue decreased by -9% to EUR 5.8 million (EUR 6.4 million). Decrease of revenue is part of WithSecure's strategic transition to cloud-based environments. The customers are increasingly switching to cloud-based products, leading to a decline in the on-premise revenue over time. In Q1 2024, the decline of customers was partly offset by increases in pricing.
Elements Company gross margin was 79.5% (78.4%) of revenue. The improvement in gross margin is driven by increasing share of software, as well as continuous optimization of data processing expenses. Other variants, such as fluctuation of currencies, can cause variations of gross margin.
Elements Company adjusted EBITDA was EUR 1.0 million (EUR -4.3 million). The improvement from previous year is largely resulting from cost savings and other efficiency measures carried out during 2023 by WithSecure.

Cloud Protection for Salesforce (CPSF) segment includes revenue from the CPSF product. It is a software product, ensuring scanning of external content for potential malware, before it is loaded into Salesforce. Customers are primarily enterprise-sized companies, with extensive use of Salesforce platforms. Sales of the product mostly take place directly from WithSecure to the end customers
CPSF revenue was at the previous year level of EUR 2.0 million (EUR 2.0 million). The lack of growth is mainly a result of a delay of some customer contracts that did not close as anticipated in the first quarter.
Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) reflected the revenue and remained at the previous year level of EUR 8.2 million (EUR 8.1 million).
Adjusted EBITDA of CPSF was EUR -0.4 million (EUR -1.1 million). The improvement from previous year is largely resulting from cost savings and other efficiency measures carried out during 2023 by WithSecure.

Cyber security consulting segment includes revenue from large, enterprise-size customers. The offering is related to offensive security services and building the customer's cyber resilience.
Cyber security consulting revenue declined by 5% to EUR 7.6 million (EUR 8.0 million). The decline in revenue was mainly caused by delays of some large customers' cyber security spend in the beginning of the year.
Adjusted EBITDA was EUR-0.5 million (EUR -0.8 million). The negative profitability is mainly caused by the low revenue, with the excess capacity decreasing both Gross margin and EBITDA. On the other hand, the cost savings and other efficiency measures carried out during 2023 by WithSecure are partly netting off the negative impact.

Liquidity remained at a solid level, but the operative loss and annual payments for incentives and restructuring expenses have impacted the cash flow. At the end of the quarter, the company had liquid assets in total of EUR 32.3 million (EUR 34.5 million) and an unused EUR 20 million revolving credit facility (RCF). Cash and cash equivalents include cash in bank accounts and short-term investments in money market instruments with maturity of less than three months.
Digital services are an essential component of society that must always work. Disruptions of the digital services can cause serious damage to society, the well-being of its members, and business operations. The war in Ukraine and the global geopolitical tensions have caused some exceptional consequences to the cyber security landscape, such as highly visible governmental activities, as well as organized civilian response. New situations can lead to uncontrolled cyber security threats that can be difficult to predict. In the new era of greater uncertainty, cyber resilience of organizations has become more important than ever. While advanced cyber-attacks on large enterprises continue, criminals are also targeting smaller businesses and supply chains by taking advantage of vulnerabilities in popular software as well as compromised credentials. Apart from activities carried out by criminals, governments can also use vulnerabilities and malware for surveillance purposes.
With the increasingly complex IT environments and new ways of working, such as remote work and bringyour-own-device, the attacks are evolving towards difficult-to-detect fileless techniques and identity based attacks, rather than malware deployment. Attacks against organizations can go undetected for months, and widespread security skills shortage is holding back organizations' readiness to detect and respond to cyber-attacks. These trends are expected to continue to drive an increasing demand for detection and response products and services. As part of improved cyber resilience, threat exposure management is becoming more important than ever to proactively reduce the digital attack surface. As organizations are shifting to cloud, they seek managed security services and cloud-based delivery models to
help them protect hybrid workforce and increased use of cloud services.
It is also becoming increasingly important that the selected cyber security solutions consolidate point solutions into security platforms, integrate with the existing solutions, and ensure visibility across entire IT and cloud environments. Organizations are increasingly turning into outsourcing of security capabilities to address skills and resource shortages, while stricter position on data protection and new regulation, particularly in Europe, is driving the demand of alternatives to globally delivered managed security services. This will increase the need for proven services from established cyber security vendors, who can respect the data restrictions and regulations of a particular region.
As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to advance, both defenders and attackers are expected to employ more sophisticated techniques, shaping the landscape of cyber threats. AI-based cyber threats will refer to malicious activities where AI techniques are used to exploit vulnerabilities in computer systems. This includes the use of AI algorithms to automate and enhance various cyber attacks. Examples of AI-based threats include advanced phishing attacks using machine learning to create convincing email content, automated and adaptive malware that evolves to evade traditional defences, and AI-driven social engineering attacks that leverage sophisticated algorithms to manipulate human behaviour.
AI will also significantly impact cybersecurity by enhancing threat detection, automating response mechanisms, and improving overall defence
strategies. Machine learning algorithms can analyse vast amounts of data to identify patterns and anomalies, enabling quicker identification of potential threats. Additionally, AI-driven tools enhance the efficiency of cybersecurity professionals by automating routine tasks and providing real-time insights, ultimately strengthening the resilience of digital systems against evolving cyber threats.
At the end of the quarter, WithSecure had 996 employees, which shows a net decrease of 91 employees (8%) since the previous quarter-end (1,087 on Q4 2023), and a net decrease of 249 employees (-20%) compared to the end of March 2023 (1,245). The change during the first quarter of 2024 is partly due to restructuring and other savings, and partly due to normal attrition.
At the end of the quarter, the composition of the Global Leadership Team was the following:
Juhani Hintikka (President and CEO), Christine Bejerasco (Chief Information Security Officer), Lasse Gerdt (Chief Customer Officer), Charlotte Guillou (Chief People Officer), Tom Jansson (Chief Financial Officer), Antti Koskela (Chief Product Officer), Scott Reininga (EVP, Consulting), Tiina Sarhimaa (Chief Legal Officer) and Ari Vänttinen (Chief Marketing Officer).
WithsSecure has one share class. At the end of the first quarter the total number of shares was 176,098,739. Of this, 176,016,849 were outstanding and 81,890 were held by the company.
In the first quarter, 9.2 million (18.6 million) of WithSecure shares were traded on Nasdaq Helsinki. The highest trading price was EUR 1.25 (1.74), and the lowest price was EUR 0.98 (1.28). The volume weighted average price of WithSecure shares in the first quarter of 2024 was EUR 1.09 (1.49).
The share's closing price on the last trading day of the quarter, 29 March 2024, was EUR 1.06 (1.53). Based on that closing price, the market value of the company's shares, excluding the treasury shares held by the company, was EUR 187.3 million (EUR 268.1 million).
The company has market-based long-term share-based incentive programs for key employees. Information about the programs is disclosed in Note 3 (Share-based payments) and Annual Report of 2023.
The Annual General Meeting (AGM) of WithSecure Corporation was held on 20 March 2024. The meeting confirmed the financial statements for the financial year 2023 and reviewed the remuneration report for governing bodies. The members of the Board and the President and CEO were discharged from liability.
The meeting approved the proposal of the Board of Directors that no dividend will be paid for the financial year 2023 due to the loss-making net result of the year. The company will focus on funding its growth and developing the business.
The AGM decided that the annual remuneration of the Board of Directors will remain unchanged: EUR 80,000 for the Chair of the Board of Directors, EUR 48,000 for the Committee Chairs, EUR 38,000 for the members of the Board of Directors, and EUR 12,667 for the member of the Board of Directors employed by the Company. Approximately 40% of the compensation will be paid in company shares.
The AGM decided that the number of Board members shall be seven. The following current Board members were re-elected: Risto Siilasmaa, Tuomas Syrjänen, Kirsi Sormunen and Ciaran Martin. Amanda Bedborough, Niilo Fredrikson and Harri Ruusinen who belongs to the personnel of WithSecure Corporation, were elected as new members of the Board of Directors.
The Board elected Risto Siilasmaa as the Chair of the Board. Tuomas Syrjänen was nominated as the Chair of the Personnel Committee and Risto Siilasmaa and Niilo Fredrikson as members of the Personnel Committee. Kirsi Sormunen was nominated as the Chair of the Audit Committee and Ciaran Martin, Amanda Bedborough and Harri Ruusinen were nominated as members of the Audit Committee.
Audit firm PricewaterhouseCoopers Oy was re-elected as Auditor of the Company. Mr. Jukka Karinen, APA, acts as the responsible auditor.
The sustainability audit firm PricewaterhouseCoopers Oy was elected as the Company's sustainability auditor. Mr. Jukka Karinen, ASA, will act as the responsible sustainability auditor.
The AGM authorised the Board of Directors to resolve upon the repurchase of a maximum of 17,609,870 of the Company's own shares in total. The maximum amount equals to approximately 10% of all the shares in the Company, in one or several tranches with the Company's unrestricted equity.
The AGM authorised the Board of Directors to resolve on the issuance of a maximum of 17,609,870 shares in total through a share issue as well as by issuing options and other special rights entitling to shares pursuant to chapter 10, section 1 of the Companies Act in one or several tranches. The maximum number of shares corresponds to 10% of all shares in the Company. The authorisation concerns both the issuance of new shares and the transfer of treasury shares held by the Company.
Full disclosure of the AGM resolutions, as well as the organizing meeting of the Board of Directors held on the same day, has been provided in the Stock Exchange release of 20 March 2024.
WithSecure operations are subject to risks and uncertainties that can impact the business performance, profitability, financial position, market share, reputation, share price or the achievement of its short-term and long-term objectives. The risks and uncertainties described here should not be considered as an exhaustive list.
The objective of WithSecure risk management is to identify various risks that could have an impact on the business, and to implement appropriate measures to mitigate the risks. In assessing the risks, WithSecure considers both the probability and the potential impact of each risk, as well as the resources required to manage and mitigate the risk. Ensuring business continuity in all situations is an essential part of the risk management. WithSecure risk management principles and process are described in the Corporate Governance Statement of 2023.
The cyber security market is scattered to many providers of software and services. The large market participants are investing heavily in the development of embedded security and winning market share. Market consolidation is considered a likely development. WithSecure must succeed in its chosen strategy as well as in finding the right acquisition targets, and in integrating the acquired companies into its operations. As one of the smaller players in the market, the company must always keep itself relevant to the customers, by ensuring both up to date technology and good quality, timely services.
Geopolitical uncertainties, such as the war in Ukraine, have significantly increased the risk of unexpected disruptions of the world economy and security stability. Likelihood of acts of terror impacting societal infrastructures has increased with this development. Any such events could also impact WithSecure's ability to run its business. The increasing activity of nation-state cyber criminals will continue to impose business interruptions also during 2024.
For corporate responsibility reasons, WithSecure is not conducting business with any Russian or Belarussian parties, even in cases where it would be permitted by the export control regulations.
WithSecure operates in different countries and is therefore exposed to country risks of each location. Changing circumstances and regulation in different operating countries is exposing WithSecure to risks, such as unfavourable tax treatment or export controls.
As part of the sustainability materiality analysis, WithSecure has assessed the impact of the environmental risks, especially climate change, on its business. The company is a provider of software and services, and as such not significantly impacted by the environmental risks. Business continuity planning covers scenarios related to unavailability of resources due to natural disasters or other hazards.
Unavailability of skilled personnel may result in inability of providing high-quality products and services to customers. Competition for skilled personnel is increasing and there is structural undersupply of talent in the cyber security industry. WithSecure is continuously developing and adopting new ways of recruitment, building its own talent and knowledge pools, and investing in training and development of personnel.
WithSecure's cyber security products and services market model is vastly depending on functioning partner channel and network. It is critical for WithSecure to ensure it has the right partners in the regions and that the partners receive the needed support and that WithSecure's cyber security offering is made available according to the local demand. Not being able to serve the needs of the partners needs could result to negative impact on WithSecure's business performance.
WithSecure operates in a highly competitive market. Cybercrime is growing fast and becoming more innovative and professional. Large vendors make significant investments in their development and marketing activities, while new vendors are emerging in the market, and the operating system manufacturers are increasing their focus on built-in security features.
WithSecure must succeed in maintaining in-depth understanding of cyber security threat landscape, following the hacker techniques and technologies, as well as continuing to innovate in defensive technologies. Investments in new technologies and products come with the risk of not meeting the future requirements of the market. Agile methods are applied by WithSecure to ensure that its decisions regarding future technologies are aligned with the best information and expectations of the market developments.
Exposure to cyber security incidents threatens the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of WithSecure products and services, and their mitigation is considered as high priority in all parts of the company. WithSecure builds cyber resilience by continuously improving its capability to identify, protect, detect, and respond to relevant threats. Continuous efforts are taken to protect sensitive data of the company and its customers.
WithSecure protects its technologies and innovations through copyrights, patents, trademarks, and technology partnerships. While WithSecure uses all available protection mechanisms, the businesses are exposed to risks relating intellectual property claims, particularly in the US markets.
Cost inflation in the countries where WithSecure operates increases the risk for negative development of the cost structure. This is monitored very
closely, and inflation will also most likely require mitigation actions to retain workforce in the company. Increasing interest rates could limit the possibilities of external funding.
As a company still improving its profitability, WithSecure must focus on accurate cash planning and prompt collections to ensure liquidity of all group companies and to avoid needs of short-term financing.
Increasing volume of operations outside the Euro zone in different currencies exposes WithSecure to an increased risk related to currency fluctuations. To mitigate the impact of currency fluctuations on future cash flows, the group can use forward contracts.
On 8 April 2024, Juhani Hintikka, President and CEO of WithSecure, announced that he steps down from his position in the company. The decision to step down follows the Supreme Court ruling of 5 April 2024 where Juhani Hintikka was found guilty of abuse of inside information related to a matter dating back to 2014, years before he joined WithSecure. The Board of Directors initiated a search process for a new CEO, and appointed Antti Koskela to act as the interim CEO of the company. Antti Koskela has served as a member of the Global Leadership Team and as Chief Product Officer since 2021. He will continue in the latter role in addition to assuming his duties as the interim CEO.
WithSecure will publish its financial information in 2024 as follows:
WithSecure observes at least a three-week (21 days) silent period prior to publication of financial reports, during which it refrains from engaging in discussions with capital market representatives or the media regarding WithSecure's financial position or the factors affecting it.

During the period Group has had share-based incentive plans covering management and the key personnel of the Group and a share savings plan available to all employees as described below. The programs have been established as part of incentive and retention system within WithSecure. The programs offer the participants a possibility to receive WithSecure shares as an incentive reward if the financial targets set for the earning period have been achieved. No reward can be given to a participating employee whose employment has terminated before the end of the lock-up period. WithSecure's current plans consist of Performance Share Plans, Restricted Share Plans, a Performance Matching Share Plan and an Employee Share Savings Plan. For further information regarding these programs, please refer to WithSecure Remuneration Report 2023.
In March 2024, the Board of Directors of WithSecure Corporation has decided on a new Performance Share Plan for the years 2024–2026. The new plan will commence in 2024 and the performance criterion for this plan will be WithSecure's revenue growth over the 3-year performance period. The aggregate maximum number of share rewards to be paid in the first half of 2027 is approximately 6,600,000 shares. This number of shares represents gross earning, from which the applicable payroll tax is withheld, and the remaining net value is paid in shares to the key employees participating in the plan. The plan is offered to the management and selected key employees of WithSecure.
Also in March 2024, the Board of Directors of WithSecure Corporation has decided on a new Restricted Share Plan for the years 2024–2026. The aggregate maximum number of shares which may become payable based on RSP 2024–2026 in the first half of 2027 is 500,000 shares. The amount of shares represents gross earnings, from which the applicable payroll tax is withheld, and the remaining net value is paid to the participants in shares. If the individual's employment with WithSecure terminates before the payment date of the share reward, the individual is not, as a main rule, entitled to any reward based on the plan.

WithSecure has included certain non-IFRS based alternative performance measures (APM) in financial reporting. Alternative performance measures are provided to reflect the underlying business performance, and to exclude certain non-operational or non-cash valuation items affecting comparability (IAC). The aim is to improve comparability, and alternative performance measures should not be regarded as substitutes for IFRS based measures. Alternative performance measures include EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBIT.
Depreciations, amortization and impairments are excluded from EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBIT exclude also IACs which are material items outside the normal course of business. These items are associated with acquisitions, integration costs, gains and losses from the sale of businesses and other items affecting comparability. During Transitional Services Agreement (TSA) in 2023, Group's operating expenses included costs of services provided to F-Secure. These costs together with income equivalent to the costs were excluded from APMs.
