CEO statement

Focus on technological leadership drives growth

Our focus on delivering high quality and flexible media transport solutions continues to drive revenue growth. Compared to the corresponding period last year, net sales increased by 8.3 percent following a strong performance in Americas, where we continue to see a positive trend. The underlying operations are returning solid profitability while we are simultaneously investing in our unique solution for GPSindependent time synchronization, where the standardization process of our technology is progressing according to plan.

Solid growth and positive profitability trajectory

At the close of the third quarter, I am proud to conclude that we continue to demonstrate solid growth and a positive profitability trajectory while also making long-term investments and strengthening the organization ahead of future expansion. Net sales increased by 8.3 percent year-on-year and operating margin strengthened by 2.3 percentage points, despite continued increased investments in the organization and product development.

Continued focus on technological leadership and strong partnerships in Media

As the obvious choice of partner in live media, we continued to establish new relationships and strengthen existing partnerships in the quarter, including through our participation at the global and well-attended International Broadcasting Convention (IBC). It was also pleasing to see our

Nimbra 400 recognized as the Innovation Award winner, in partnership with Verizon and alongside National Hockey League (NHL).

Another successful delivery of the Summer Games is now behind us. The financial impact of individual events is less noticeable today than historically, as our revenue base is more diversified. However, they affirm our strong position as a provider of premium media transport. The third quarter tends to be strong due to the start of sports leagues and in general, short-term revenue variations continue to be influenced by the timing of major deals with key customers.

We are proactively developing our sales organization, particularly in Americas, where we see good growth prospects. At the same time, we are focusing on improving our competitiveness in IP and Cloud. We have broadened our offerings during the quarter by upgrading our 400 platform and launching the compact and cost-efficient Nimbra 204 which enables fast and easy broadcasting of smaller events from various locations.

When it comes to more complex live media transport of highly regarded events, we are seeing increased demand for significantly higher capacity. In this area, we look forward to demonstrating our technological leadership with the launch of 400G IP at the turn of 2025/2026. This important step to offer the world's first media capable 400G IP solution will reduce costs for our customers and consolidate our strong market position.

With the rapid advancement of AI, we note that our suppliers' product life cycles concerning programmable circuits (FPGA) have shortened. To ensure delivery of our high-volume products, we are proactively working to secure the necessary supply of FPGA circuits. A consequence of this is that capital tied up in inventory of these high-value components will increase over the coming years.

Extensive interest in Zyntai from leading telecom operators

We are continuing the commercialization of our unique time synchronization product Zyntai, and currently have around 10 commercial customers. Our flexible and cost-efficient solution is in high demand, particularly among network operators with a substantial share of leased capacity in large heterogeneous 5G networks based on existing 4G infrastructure. The roll-out of standalone 5G networks that enable new critical enterprise services has only just begun, and the need for resilient time synchronization is even greater in this area. With Zyntai, we are well-positioned to support network operators in both

today's 5G networks and tomorrow's 6G networks.

Our Zyntai-order book extends several years into the future and amounted to approximately SEK 175 million at the end of the quarter. A significant proportion of this is related to the agreement with Türk Telekom, where revenues have started to be realized, and final delivery is

expected in 2027. We have a significant number of ongoing Proof-of-Concepts (PoCs) and are pleased to see sustained high interest from the market, including leading telecom operators. Among the completed PoCs, a substantial majority have successfully advanced to the next phase.

The ITU standardization of our time synchronization technology that started in December last year is progressing according to plan and will make Zyntai even more commercially viable. The first document was approved in the quarter, and I look forward with confidence to the process being completed around the turn of 2025/2026.

Broad product portfolio and expanded reach across the value chain

Our core operations continue to grow with solid profitability, clear evidence of the confidence shown in our products and the strength of our business model. The fourth quarter tends to be more volatile, depending on our customers' remaining budget capacity. This year we also face tough comparables. However, I am confident that our broad product portfolio will continue to drive demand from a wider range of the value chain, and that we are well positioned to meet increasingly advanced requirements for content distribution, both through upgrades in our existing customer base and new sales. We reiterate our target of average organic revenue growth of over 15 percent annually to 2027,

and the operating margin reaching 20 percent in the same period, and alongside the rest of the management team I look to the future with confidence.

I would like to conclude by expressing my heartfelt thanks to my colleagues for their hard work during the past quarter.

Crister Fritzson, CEO Solna, 7 November 2024

"Net Insight has the flexibility required to meet the needs of tomorrow"

REVENUES

July-September

Net sales in the third quarter of 2024 were SEK 155.9 (144.0) million, an increase of 8.3% yearon-year. Adjusted for currency effects, in comparable currencies, net sales increased by 12.1%.

The revenue in the quarter is mainly derived from business from existing customers, but we have also received additional orders from customers who placed their first orders in the first quarter as well as revenues related to the summer games.

Revenues from time synchronization for 5G and critical networks amounted to SEK 10.2 million in the quarter, compared to SEK 8.7 million in the previous year. This year's revenue was primarily attributable to the pre-launch of the time synchronization product Zyntai, while the previous year's revenue was primarily attributable to the NRE (non-recurring engineering) fee linked to the development of this product.

January-September

Net sales in the nine-month period of 2024 amounted to SEK 474.5 (396.9) million, an increase of 19.5% year-on-year. Adjusted for currency effects, in comparable currencies, net sales increased by 20.7%.

The long uninterrupted growth trend is a result of the investments made in product development and competence over the past few years, strengthening our offering and resulting in both new customers and expanded business with existing ones. The growth during the year is attributable to the Americas region, with two strong quarters in a row, while turnover in EMEA was unchanged and APAC decreased.

Revenues from time synchronization for 5G and critical networks amounted to SEK 29.3 million in the nine-month period, compared to SEK 26.1 million in the previous year. This year's revenue was primarily attributable to the pre-launch of the time synchronization product Zyntai, while the previous year's revenue was primarily attributable to the NRE (non-recurring engineering) fee linked to the development of this product. The orderbook for the time synchronization offer at the end of the period amounted to approximately SEK 175 million, which is in line with the previous quarter. The decrease from the end of the previous quarter's approximately SEK 190 million is attributable to deliveries during the quarter and strengthened SEK against EUR and USD.

The company is not affected by significant seasonal variations, rather, the largest variations are driven by timing in larger orders and varying product mix. However, the third quarter tends to be somewhat stronger due to the start of sports leagues, while the fourth quarter is often more volatile depending on our customers' remaining budget capacity.

EARNINGS

July-September

Gross profit for the third quarter amounted to SEK 91.2 (86.0) million, an increase of 6.0%, driven by increased revenues. Gross profit included amortization of capitalized development expenditure of SEK -17.8 (-14.4) million. Gross margin, excluding and including, amortization of capitalized development expenditure was 69.9% (69.7%) and 58.5% (59.7%) respectively.

Sales and marketing expenses were SEK -40.4(-37.8) million, where the increase was primarily driven by the strengthening of the organization in time synchronization as well as investments in cloud and IP expertise. In addition, the increased sales results in increased variable sales-related compensation. Administration expenses were SEK -17.8 (-14.5) million, where the increase is primarily attributable to strengthened organization and variable remunerations. Development expenses were SEK -10.1 (-12.3) million and total development expenditures, i.e. before capitalizations, amounted to SEK -30.5 million (-31.2). The decrease in total development expenditures is attributable to lower expenses following the move in the first quarter of the year, where certain development in Camarillo, California, was moved to Stockholm, which resulted in both lower costs and higher efficiency.

Overall, operating expenses in the third quarter amounted to SEK -68.3 (-64.7) million, an increase of 5.6% year-on-year.

Financial targets 2023-2027:

• An organic average annual growth of at least 15% • An operating margin (EBIT%) that within the period will reach 20%

Other operating income and expenses were SEK 1.8 (-1.8) million, of which currency exchange rate differences account for SEK 1.8 (-1.9) million.

Operating earnings amounted to SEK 24.7 (19.6) million, corresponding to an operating margin of 15.9% (13.6%). Excluding exchange rate differences of SEK 1.8 (-1.9) million, operating earnings were SEK 22.9 (21.5) million, corresponding to an operation margin of 14.7% (14.9%). For more information, see the table "Material profit and loss items" on page 20.

EBITDA and EBITDAC (EBITDA including reversal of capitalization of development expenditures) amounted to SEK 49.6 (38.2) million and SEK 26.2 (19.3) million, respectively, corresponding to an EBITDA margin of 29.9% (26.5%) and an EBITDAC margin of 16.8% (13.4%). The improvements in EBITDA and the EBITDAC margin are attributable to the increased sales. Although operating expenses and the capitalization of development expenditures have increased compared to the same period last year, operating expenses in relation to turnover have decreased from 44.9% last year to 43.8% this year while the capitalization of development expenditure in relation to turnover is unchanged 13.1% (13.1%).

In the third quarter, net financial items amounted to SEK -3.1 (1.1) million, of which foreign exchange rate differences of SEK -5.3 (-0.7) million and net interest income of SEK 2.0 (2.0) million.

Profit before tax was SEK 21.6 (20.7) million, and net income was SEK 17.1 (16.2) million, corresponding to a net margin of 10.9% (11.2%).

January-September

Gross profit for the first nine-month period amounted to SEK 291.3 (239.2) million, an increase of 21.8%, primarily driven by increased revenues. Gross profit included amortization of capitalized development expenditure of SEK -45.9 (-42.2) million. Gross margin, excluding and including, amortization of capitalized development expenditure was 71.1% (70.9%) and 61.4% (60.3%) respectively. The gross margin is affected by product mix and economies of scale, as part of the costs are fixed. During the first quarter of 2024, several new customers made their initial investments in infrastructure, i.e. primarily hardware, which resulted in a lower gross margin. During the second quarter, a customer made a large software investment to be used on Net Insight hardware delivered in previous quarters, which contributed to higher gross margin. During the third quarter, as mentioned above, there was more a combination of deals, which also resulted in a gross margin that is between the gross margin of the two previous quarters. See also the description of the business model in the Annual Report for 2023 page 21.

Sales and marketing expenses were SEK -129.6 (-111.8) million, where the increase was primarily driven by the strengthening of the organization for time synchronization as well as investments in cloud and IP expertise. The high sales have also led to increased variable remuneration at the same time as customer and market activities have been higher this year than in the previous year. Administration expenses were SEK -53.0 (-45.8) million. The increase is mainly driven by personnel-related factors, such as strengthening of the organization and variable remuneration. Development expenses were SEK -36.3 (-36.4) million. The first quarter was affected by restructuring costs affecting comparability of SEK -2.5 million relating to the move of certain development from Camarillo in California to Stockholm, which then had a positive effect on the following quarters. Total development expenditures, i.e. before capitalization, amounted to SEK-109.1 (-105.3) million, where the increase is attributable to component purchases during the first quarter. Total development expenditures in relation to sales were 23.0% (26.5%).

Overall, operating expenses in the nine-month period amounted to SEK -218.8 (-194.0) million, an increase of 12.8% year-on-year. Operating expenses in relation to sales decreased from 48.9% in the same period last year to 46.1% this year.

Other operating income and expenses were SEK 1.2 (-3.7) million, of which currency exchange rate differences account for SEK 1.2 (-4.9) million.

Operating earnings amounted to SEK 73.7 (41.5) million, corresponding to an operating margin of 15.5% (10.4%). Excluding items affecting comparability of SEK -2.5 (0.6) million and exchange rate differences of SEK 1.2 (-4.9) million, operating earnings were SEK 74.9 (45.8) million, corresponding to an operation margin of 15.8% (11.5%). For more information, see the table "Material profit and loss items" on page 20.

EBITDA and EBITDAC (EBITDA including reversal of capitalization of development expenditures) amounted to SEK 131.9 (96.3) million and SEK 59.0 (27.4) million, respectively, corresponding to an EBITDA margin of 27.8% (24.3%) and an EBITDAC margin of 12.4% (6.9%). The improvements in the EBITDA and the EBITDAC margins are attributable to the

increased sales, including a lager share of software in the second quarter due to the large order of SEK 30 million. Although operating expenses and the capitalization of development expenditures have increased compared to the same period last year, they have decreased in relation to turnover from 48.9% to 46.1% and from 17.4% to 15.3% respectively.

In the nine-month period, net financial items amounted to SEK 4.6 (6.9) million, of which foreign exchange rate differences of SEK -2.9 (1.5) million and net interest income of SEK 6.2 (5.2) million.

INVESTMENTS

The investments in the third quarter were SEK 20.4 (19.2) million, of which SEK 20.4 (18.8) million were related to capitalization of expenditure for development. In the nine-month period, the investments were SEK 74.6 (71.0) million, of which SEK 72.8 (68.9) million were related to capitalization of expenditure for development.

Depreciation and amortization in the third quarter amounted to SEK -21.9 (-18.6) million, of which SEK -17.8 (-14.4) million related to amortization of capitalized expenditure for development. In the nine-month period, depreciation and amortization amounted to SEK -58.2 (-54.9) million, of which SEK -45.9 (-42.2) million related to amortization of capitalized expenditure for development

Changes in capitalized development expenditure and amortization are driven by the level of activity in development projects in combination with the timing of launches of fully developed products.

Net value of capitalized expenditure for development was SEK 263.4 million at end of the period, against SEK 236.5 million as of December 31, 2023.

CASH FLOW AND FINANCIAL POSITION

Cash flow from operating activities in the third quarter amounted to SEK 50.9 (34.8) million. The improvement is attributable to both the improved earnings and reduced working capital tied-up. Capital tied-up in inventory has continued to decline. The positive effect of last quarter's record high sales, with high invoicing at the end of the quarter, has been offset by reduced prepaid income

The total cash flow for the third quarter amounted to SEK 4.9 (-3.6). Excluding the cash impact from share-related transactions, the cash flow for the third quarter was SEK 27.7 (12.7) million. For more information, see pages 12 and 20.

Cash flow from operating activities in the first nine-month period amounted to SEK 92.7 (62.1) million. The positive impact of the improved earnings on the cash flow has been partially offset by the increased working capital tied-up the increased sales has resulted in. As the company has been profitable for some time, the tax loss carryforwards accumulated during previous years has been utilized, resulting in income tax payments affecting the cash flow by SEK -14.0 million compared to the previous year. The positive impact of the improved earnings on the cash flow has been partially offset by the increased working capital tie-up increased sales brought about.

The total cash flow in the first nine-month period amounted to SEK -26.3 (-45.9). Excluding the cash impact from share-related transactions, the cash flow was SEK 9.8 (-16.7) million. For more information, see pages 12 and 20.

Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period was SEK 240.2 million, compared to SEK 266.4 million as of 31 December 2023.

Equity at the end of the period was SEK 647.8 million, compared to SEK 622.2 million as of 31 December 2023. The equity/assets ratio was 76.9%, compared to 74.2% as of 31 December 2023. The increase in equity falls short of the result, primarily driven by the buyback of own shares. For additional information, see the section "Contributed equity" on page 12.

EMPLOYEES

The average number of employees and consultants at Net Insight during the third quarter and the nine-month period was 200 (194) and 198 (190), respectively, of which 170 (160) and 167 (157), respectively, in the Parent Company Net Insight AB (publ.). The increase is primarily attributable to the investment in time synchronization organization.

PARENT COMPANY

Net sales for the Parent Company amounted to SEK 155.9 (144.0) million in the third quarter, and net income to SEK 16.3 (15.1) million. Intra-group sales were SEK 0.0 (0.0) million during the quarter, and intra-group purchases were SEK -18.8 (-21.7) million.

Net sales for the Parent Company amounted to SEK 474.5 (396.9) million in the first ninemonth period, and net income to SEK 59.1 (35.1) million. In the first nine-month period, intragroup sales were SEK 0.0 (0.0) million, and intra-group purchases were SEK -66.0 (-62.6) million.

Development of the Parent Company for the year and its financial position essentially followed hat of the Group as presented above.

RISK AND SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS

Net Insight's operations and results of operations are affected by a number of external and internal factors. There is a continuous process to identify risks, and to assess how each such risk should be mitigated.

The primary risks to which the company is exposed include market-related risks (including but not limited to competition, technological developments, and political risks), operational risks (including product liability, intellectual property, disputes, customer dependence, and contractual risks), as well as financial and sustainability-related risks.

With the rapid advancement of AI, we note that our suppliers' product life cycles concerning programmable circuits (FPGA) have shortened. To mitigate and ensure delivery of our high-volume products, we are proactively working to secure the necessary supply of FPGA circuits. A consequence of this is that capital tied up in inventory of these high-value components will increase over the coming years.

The component shortage that arose in connection with the pandemic was partly mitigated during 2023. However, the war in Ukraine and the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict have resulted in longer lead times, increased shipping costs and generally increased uncertainty. The company's direct exposure to these markets is very limited, and compliance with the current sanctions is therefore deemed not to have any material impact on the company's operations, assets or earnings. However, it is currently difficult to assess the potential future impact of the conflicts on the availability and prices of components.

Apart from this, there are no significant risks and uncertainties changed in comparison with those described in the 2023 annual report.

The risks and uncertainties are essentially the same for the Parent Company and the Group as a whole.

For a comprehensive review of the company's risk and sensitivity analysis, and its risk management process, see pages 54-56, 58-60 and 76-77 of the Annual Report for 2023.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

This Interim Report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and applicable regulations of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The Interim Report of the parent company complies with chapter 9 of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, Interim Financial Reporting, and RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities.

Disclosures in accordance with IAS 34 are presented in the interim financial statements and the associated notes as well as elsewhere in the interim financial report. There are no new or amended International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in 2024 that have had a material impact on the Company's financial reporting.

The Group and the Parent Company have applied the same accounting principles and calculation methods as in the latest annual report. A description of these accounting principles can be found in the Annual Report for 2023.

The preparation of the Interim Report requires management to make assessments and make assumptions that affect the company's earnings and position as well as the information provided. Estimates and assessments are continuously evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. For a description of estimates and assumptions, please refer to the Annual Report for 2023.

Figures in parentheses in this report refer to comparison with the corresponding period or date in the previous year, unless stated otherwise. Discrepancies due to rounding may occur in this report.

Tax

The group reported tax of total SEK -4.6 (-4.5) million for the period July-September 2024, corresponding to an effective tax rate of 21.1 (21.7) percent. The group reported tax of total SEK -16.6 (-10.9) million for the period January–September 2024, corresponding to an effective tax rate of 21.2 (22.5) percent. The effective tax rate is affected by tax adjustments and the relative effects of foreign tax rates.

Contributed equity

The share buyback program, decided by the Board with the support of the mandate from the 2023 AGM, was active from July 2023 to

February 2024. Within the program, the Parent company repurchased a total of 10,693,000 of its own Class B shares on Nasdaq Stockholm for SEK 50.1 million, including transaction costs, of which 1,425,000 shares were acquired for SEK 8.2 million during the period January-February 2024.

The 2024 AGM resolved to authorize the board of directors to resolve to repurchase, on one or several occasions until the next AGM, as many own shares as may be purchased without the company's holding at any time exceeding ten per cent of the total number of shares in the company. Further, the AGM resolved to authorize the board of directors to resolve on one or several occasions until the next annual general meeting, to transfer (sell) own shares.

At the Board meeting in May 2024, the board of Directors of Net Insight AB decided to utilize the repurchase mandate given at the AGM in 2024. The repurchase program commenced on June 3, 2024, and will last until the next AGM and will amount to maximum SEK 50 million.

During June-September 2024, the parent company repurchased 4,340,000 of its own B shares on Nasdaq Stockholm for SEK 27.9 million, including transaction costs.

The 2024 AGM resolved that the company's share capital shall be reduced by SEK 431,800 for allocation to unrestricted equity through cancellation of 10,795,000 own B shares held by the company. The cancellation was completed on August 6.

At the end of the period, the Parent Company held a total of 4,340,000 of its own Class B shares, at an average acquisition cost of SEK 6.42 per share with a par value of SEK 0.04 per share. The shares are held as treasury/own shares. The parent company has the right to reissue these shares at a later date.

The Company has two active warrant programs (LTI 2022 in series 1 and 2) with a total of 1,805,000 warrants. When calculating earnings per share, a dilution effect arises when the average price for the period exceeds the exercise price for the warrants. For more information about the programs and the accounting principles, see Note 7 on pages 84-85 in the 2023 Annual Report.

All shares issued by the parent company were fully paid.

REVIEW REPORT

Introduction

We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) of Net Insight AB (publ.) as of September 30, 2024, and the ninemonth period then ended. The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and other generally accepted auditing practices and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not prepared, in all material respects, for the Group in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act, and for the Parent Company in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act.
