Pexip Q3 2023 report - Increased ARR growth

Oslo, Norway, 2 November 2023 - Pexip Holding ASA ("Pexip" or "The Company",

Oslo Børs Ticker: PEXIP), today presented its quarterly results for the third

quarter of 2023, showing Annual Recurring Revenues of USD 99.8 million,

recognised revenue in the quarter of NOK 214.9 million (NOK 189.2 million in Q3

2022) and EBITDA of NOK 4.9 million (negative NOK -61.5 million).

"We are pleased to have two quarters in a row with positive ARR growth and four

quarters in a row with positive EBITDA. Our focus remains on generating

profitable growth through our market leading position in our two target markets,

and we are seeing the results of that focus in our Q3 performance." said Trond

K. Johannessen, Pexip CEO.

Q3 development continues to provide momentum to reach the financial targets set

for 2023, and the results from the three first quarters of 2023 are in line with

the guidance given of flat to positive development in recurring revenues, cash

flow positive operations of NOK 85-100 million and an EBITDA of NOK 100-150

million for the whole year.

Following the successful change in strategy, the Board of Directors is

recommending a new capital distribution policy. Going forward, Pexip will seek

to distribute 50-100% of free cash flow generated to shareholders as a dividend.

In addition, the Board has concluded that the Company has excess capital

following the successful change in strategy and that Pexip should repay some of

the capital raised in 2020 to the owners. The Board will recommend an

extraordinary capital repayment to the AGM in 2024 of NOK 0.5 per share in

addition to the ordinary capital distribution.

Key highlights for the quarter include:

· Q3 2023 revenue of 215 million, up 14% y-o-y. Pexip's subscription base

measured in ARR was USD 99.8 million in Q3 2023, up 1% from Q2 2023. EBITDA

excluding other gains and losses amounted to NOK 10.6 million, up NOK 67 million

from Q3 2022.

· Cash flow of negative NOK 13 million in the quarter, with a cash position of

NOK 494 million and no material interest-bearing debt.

· Benefit realization of the first phase of the Company transformation in

place - continue to drive operational improvement across the business and with a

continued focus on our core markets to enhance technology leadership.

· Continued good start of the Poly partnership, with high joint sales and

marketing activity across regions. Through Q3 we saw the first major sales

closed, and we continue to see an increased pipeline.

· BlueJeans by Verizon, one of two key competitors in the Connected Spaces

segment, announced that they would sunset the business in Q3. This has generated

a material pipeline and contributed positively to sales in Q3.
