Pexip operates in two main product areas. Pexip selfhosted 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.
Consolidated revenue amounted to NOK 285.2 million in Q4 2023 (NOK 260.4 million in Q4 2022), representing a 10% increase from Q4 2022. The increase is a result of the ARR increase in Q4 2023 as well as some currency impact. Pexip delivered approx. NOK 25 million less in large multi-year prepaid software contracts in Q4 2023 compared to Q4 2022, impacting revenues negatively. This is due to a shift towards annual and annual pay multi-year contracts. Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) was the largest sales theatre, accounting for NOK 154.8 million (NOK 153.0 million) representing 54% of group revenue in Q4 (59%), followed by Americas, accounting for NOK 114.3 million (NOK 93.0 million) representing 40% (36%), and Asia-Pacific (APAC), accounting for NOK 16.1 million (NOK 14.3 million) representing 6% (5%).
Self-hosted software revenue accounted for NOK 167.3 million in Q4 2023 (NOK 152.3 million). Revenue from Pexip as-a-Service was NOK 117.8 million in Q4 2023 (NOK 108.1 million). 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 28.1 million in Q4 2023 (NOK 17.7 million), reflecting a gross margin of 90% (93%).
Operating expenses consist mainly of salary and personnel expenses and other operating expenses. Salary and personnel expenses amounted to NOK 161.2 million in Q4 2023 (NOK 166.0 million), which is 56% of the quarterly revenue (64%). In Q4 2023 Pexip had higher costs related to employee share options. This is related to the increase in share price in Q4 2023 as well as lower than usual cost in Q4 2022 due to several voided contracts from restructuring. This amounts to NOK 10.8 million for Q4 2023 compared to negative NOK 1.1 million in reversed costs in Q4 2022. Pexip had 304 employees employed at the end of Q4 2023 (329 at the end of Q4 2022).
Other operating expenses amounted to NOK 36.7 million (NOK 55.0 million), which reflects a level of 13% of the quarterly revenue (21%). The reduction is due to the cost-cutting initiatives and the effects were realized across multiple cost categories, including a reduction in spending on sales and marketing, travel, and other professional fees such as R&D, licensing, and HR.
Other gains and losses amounted to a loss of NOK 4.5 million (NOK 29.2 million). The costs in Q4 2023 are mainly related to the termination of employees in order to secure long-term cost reductions, as in Q4 2022.
Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) amounted to NOK 54.6 million in Q4 2023 (negative NOK 7.5 million), reflecting a 19% EBITDA margin (-3%).
Depreciation and amortization costs were NOK 100.0 million in Q4 2023 (NOK 44.3 million). The amount is higher than previous quarters, which is related to an impairment of goodwill.
Net financial income was NOK 0.4 million (expenses of NOK 7.5 million). Pexip had financial income of NOK 7.4 million related to interest on cash holdings (NOK 3.8 million), while the net impact of foreign exchange differences gave a loss of NOK 6.3 million (loss of 10.5 million).
Profit before tax was negative NOK 45.0 million (negative NOK 59.3 million). Profit after tax was negative NOK 58.6 million (negative NOK 63.2 million).
Consolidated revenue was NOK 993.6 million for the full year 2023 (NOK 867.1 million). The increase was driven by currency effects as well as underlying sales growth. Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) was the largest sales theatre, accounting for NOK 501.5 million (NOK 471.9 million) representing 50% of group revenue in the period (54%), followed by Americas, accounting for 416.5 million (NOK 316.9 million) representing 42% (37%), and Asia-Pacific
(APAC), accounting for NOK 75.6 million (NOK 78.2 million) representing 8% (9%).
Cost of sale amounted to NOK 99.0 million (NOK 93.8 million), reflecting a gross margin of 90% (89%). Cost of sales increased due to higher hosting and network costs driven by increased traffic and usage of the Pexip as-a-Service offering.
Operating expenses consist mainly of salary and personnel expenses and other operating expenses. Salary and personnel expenses amounted to NOK 621.4 million (NOK 719.7 million), which is 63% of revenues in the period (83%). The reduction is mainly due to the reduction in employees over the last twelve months.

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 2022 Annual Report contains detailed descriptions and mitigating actions.
The global economic situation has faced increasing challenges into 2023, with slowing growth and higher inflation in Pexip's key markets. This impacts Pexip's customers, and several large enterprise companies have announced cost reduction programs. This has also had a negative impact on the financial markets with an increasing cost of capital. Pexip has acted through its cost reduction program to reduce its cost base, which has contributed to mitigating cost increases on key cost categories such as employee benefit expenses and the cost of cloud computing. Pexip had positive free cash flow in 2023 and has very limited interest-bearing debt and a strong balance sheet. As such, the company is less exposed to the increasing cost of capital.
Pexip has not identified any further significant risk exposures beyond the ones described in the 2022 Annual Report.
In the long-term, 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 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, the outlook is to deliver 5-10% ARR growth and 13-18% EBITDA margin.

Pexip continues to drive operational excellence. In Q4 2023 the company executed a cost reduction in the Pexip Engage business area, which will have a positive contribution to overall cash flow and profitability. While this improves the shortterm results, it may have a negative impact on the future growth of the business unit, and due to this management finds it prudent to impair the value of the goodwill related to the Skedify acquisition.
Skedify was acquired on November 8, 2021 for a consideration of NOK 19.1 million and a net debt/working capitall amount of NOK 44.5 million, for a total of NOK 63.6 million. This was accounted for as a net addition to goodwill of NOK 63.6 million. Further details on this can be found in the 2021 Annual Accounts.
The impairment of goodwill of NOK 63.6 million has been recognized in the P&L in Q4 2023, reducing Non-current assets with the same amount.
