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.
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, highsecurity 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 medium term financial targets 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 we see upside to our previous outlook, and our updated outlook is to deliver 8-10% ARR growth and 16-20% EBITDA margin, up from 5-10% ARR growth and 13-18% EBITDA margin.

Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements.
