Income statement

Q3 2024

Consolidated revenue amounted to NOK 228.5 million in Q3 2024 (NOK 214.9 million in Q3 2023), representing a 6% increase year-on-year. The increase is a result of the ARR increase over the last year, while the higher growth from Pexip-as-a-Service has delayed revenue recognition compared to self-hosted software.

Pexip operates in two main product areas. Pexip self-hosted software, which mainly consists of sales from software licenses and related maintenance contracts, and Pexip as-a-Service, which consists of sales from Pexip's public cloud service. Self-hosted software revenue accounted for NOK 87.7 million in Q3 2024 (NOK 101.2 million, -13%). The decline is due to rotation towards software-as-a-service, as well as a multi-year contract delivered in Q3 2023. Revenue from Pexip as-a-Service was NOK 140.8 million in Q3 2024 (NOK 113.7 million, +24%). Software revenue is mainly recognized at the time of delivery, which leads to variations in revenue recognition across periods and drives seasonal variations of software revenue.

EMEA was the largest sales area with NOK 112.2 million in revenue (NOK 105.0 million, +7%), followed by Americas, accounting for NOK 99.1 million (NOK 97.5 million, +2%), and Asia-Pacific (APAC), accounting for NOK 17.2 million (NOK 12.3 million, 39%).

Cost of sale consists mainly of network, data center and hosting for the Pexip as-a-Service, as well as some 3rd party commissions and software licenses. Cost of sale amounted to NOK 24.8 million in Q3 2024 (NOK 25.2 million), reflecting a gross margin of 89% (88%). The reduction in cost of sale from previous quarters was from a combination of lower usage during the summer as well as received cloud provider rebates.

Operating expenses consist mainly of salary and personnel expenses and other operating expenses. Salary and personnel expenses amounted to NOK 151.0 million in Q3 2024 (NOK 143.6 million), which is 66% of the quarterly revenue (67%). The increase is mostly related to higher share option cost accruals related to the share price appreciation in the quarter as well as higher variable salary achievement, while

fixed salary cost is reduced. Pexip had 286 employees employed at the end of Q3 2024 (315).

Other operating expenses amounted to NOK 34.6 million (NOK 35.4 million), which reflects a level of 15% of the quarterly revenue (16%). The reduction is due to the cost-cutting initiatives, in particular on external consultants.

Other gains and losses amounted to a loss of NOK 3.4 million (NOK 5.7 million). The costs in Q3 2024 are mainly related to the termination of employees in order to secure long-term cost reductions by reducing the number of middle management and overhead roles.

Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) excluding Other gains and losses was NOK 18.1 million (NOK 10.6 million), up NOK 7.5 million from Q3 2023, reflecting a 8% margin (5%). This includes share option related costs of NOK 16 million, up NOK 8 million from Q3 2023 due to increase in share price during Q3 2023. EBITDA including other gains and losses amounted to NOK 14.6 million in Q3 2024 (NOK 4.9 million), reflecting a 6% EBITDA margin (2%).

Depreciation and amortization costs were NOK 18.6 million in Q3 2024 (NOK 27.1 million). The reduction is a result of lower depreciation of intangible assets and lower right of use depreciation related to leasing.

Net financial income was NOK 13.0 million (loss of NOK 3.2 million). Pexip had financial income of NOK 6.6 million related to interest on cash holdings (NOK 4.7 million), while the net impact of foreign exchange differences gave a gain of NOK 7.0 million (loss of NOK 7.3 million).

Profit before tax was NOK 9.0 million (loss of NOK 25.4 million). Profit after tax was NOK 5.8 million (loss of NOK 24.2 million).

First three quarters of 2024

Consolidated revenue amounted to NOK 786.0 million year-to-date 2024 (NOK 708.4 million same period in 2023), representing a 11% increase yearon-year.

EMEA was the largest sales area with NOK 369.6 million in revenue (NOK 340.7 million, +8%), followed by Americas, accounting for NOK 352.1 million (NOK 309.0 million, +14%), and Asia-Pacific (APAC), accounting for NOK 64.4 million (NOK 58.8 million, +10%).

Pexip-as-a-Service revenue accounted for NOK 400.7 million year-to-date 2024 (NOK 340.8 million, +18%). Revenue from self-hosted software was NOK 385.3 million year-to-date 2024 (NOK 367.6 million, +5%). Software revenue is mainly recognized at the time of delivery, which leads to variations in revenue recognition across periods and drives seasonal variations of software revenue.

Cost of sale consists mainly of network, data center and hosting for the Pexip as-a-Service, as well as some 3rd party commissions and software licenses. Cost of sale amounted to NOK 78.9 million year-to-date 2024 (NOK 70.9 million), reflecting a gross margin of 90% (90%).

Other operating expenses amounted to NOK 112.3 million (NOK 123.2 million), which reflects a level of 14% of the revenue (17%). The reduction is due to the cost-cutting initiatives and the effects were realized across multiple cost categories, in particular on external consultants.

Other gains and losses amounted to a loss of NOK 13.2 million (NOK 6.4 million). The costs in 2024 are mainly related to the termination of employees in order to secure long-term cost reductions.

Depreciation and amortization costs were NOK 58.0 million year-to-date 2024 (NOK 99.1 million). The reduction is a result of lower depreciation of intangible assets, lower right of use depreciation related to leasing as well as a one-off depreciation cost in 2023.

Risk and uncertainty

Risk management in Pexip is based on the principle that risk evaluation is an integral part of all business activities and is a part of the annual strategy review. Pexip has developed its approach to risk assessment and risk mitigation within financial reporting and information security, where Pexip holds ISO 27001 and 27701 certifications as external recognition of its approach.

Pexip is exposed to several risk factors related to operational and market activities, customer relationships and third parties, laws, regulations, and compliance, financial and market, among others. The Risk and Risk Management section in the 2023 Annual Report contains detailed descriptions and mitigating actions.

Pexip has not identified any further significant risk exposures beyond the ones described in the 2023 Annual Report.

Outlook

Pexip believes that the market for enterprise-grade video communication will continue to increase due to the increased adoption and usage of video

communication, and increased awareness of sustainability. Pexip has unique video technology with capabilities within security, interoperability, and flexible deployments. This makes the company well-positioned as enterprises and public sector organizations continue to adopt hybrid working models. Furthermore, Pexip believes in the increased use of video in organizations' workflows with their clients/customers, creating additional new and significant market opportunities. In particular, the use of video for mission-critical, high-security meetings has increased. This is the foundation of the focused strategy Pexip is executing, pursuing market-leading positions in Secure and Custom Video and Connected Spaces.

Pexip's financial targets from 2025 are to consistently deliver above 10% growth in annual recurring revenues and have an EBITDA margin above 20% with a high cash conversion. The company aims to do this by focusing on niches where Pexip has a unique competitive advantage and a path to become the clear market leader. For 2024 our outlook is to deliver 8-11% ARR growth and 17-20% EBITDA margin.
