Pexip's subscription base measured in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) amounted to USD 98.7 million in Q2 2023, representing a year-on-year decline of 7% from USD 106.1 million in Q2 2022. The development in year-on-year ARR continues to be affected by the large US Government customer not renewing the contract as the program lost its funding, as well as a decline in legacy areas.
The net revenue retention rate, reflecting the percentage of retained revenue from existing customers, was 82% year-on-year, including churn of 14.9 percentage points (p.p.) year-onyear. Net down-sell was at a negative 2.8 p.p., remaining stable compared to Q1 2023 (negative 2.9 p.p.). Legacy continues to decline in line with expectation, contributing both churn and downsell. ARR from Pexip as-a-Service was at USD 46.7 million in Q2 2023, stable at +0.1% year-on-year, while ARR from Pexip's Self-hosted Software ended at USD 52.0 million, down 13% year-onyear.
We announced the new strategic partnership with Poly, an HP Company, in the last quarterly presentation. The strategic collaboration supports private unified business communications for government, public, and private sector customers. Poly partners have been enabled to order Pexip through Poly, and there is high activity on sales training and opportunity generation. We have participated in several joint tradeshow events, with Pexip supporting the Poly booth. We have a strong pipeline development, and the first sale was completed already in Q2 - two months after the launch, although still limited conversion due to the sales cycle.


After three months in operations, there is strong progress on the Government Cloud solution. The solution was FedRamp authorized on April 19 and StateRamp authorized on June 19, 2023, which allows US Government customers to use a Pexipprovided cloud service as a supplement to our Selfhosted offering. We see solid results so far, with USD 600 thousand in new ARR in a long buy cycle segment, and a growing pipeline.
Q2 development continues to provide momentum to reach the financial targets set for 2023, and the results from the first half of 2023 are in line with the guidance given of cash flow positive operations and an EBITDA of NOK 100-150 million for the whole year. The 2023 cash flow target was exceeded in the first half of 2023, and we have therefore updated our target for the year to NOK 85-100 million. Within secure and custom solutions there was a USD 1.8 million growth in ARR in Q2 and significant renewals in the quarter have gone well. Our secure solutions are increasingly relevant and awareness around sovereignty and privacy for Government data is increasing, with more countries issuing specific recommendations and regulations. Within interoperability and infrastructure solutions, we continue to capture new accounts although overall decline due to churn and capacity reductions from legacy and Connected Spaces. The development in the strategic partnerships with both Microsoft and Poly continues to show that Pexip's focused approach to our key markets makes us an attractive partner in our industry.
A major provider of wireless voice, messaging, and data services with 60+ million customers recently chose Pexip to provide for Microsoft Teams interop. They chose Pexip as we were able to demonstrate our ability to add value within their current environment with features such as Pexip CVI and integrations to existing video conferencing hardware, and Pexip's interoperability solutions contribute to a seamless experience.
A global organization with 14,000 employees needed a solution to maximize their experience on all their 800+ Cisco endpoints, with numerous video platforms such as Microsoft Teams, Webex, and Zoom. They chose Pexip because of Pexip's interoperability solutions and the features of Pexip Enterprise Room Connector (ERC), which covers the customer's need to interoperate with any type of environment.
We have signed a 3-year contract with a new rising service provider within telehealth. The company has partnered with Pexip to become a market leader for video conferencing-based telehealth in their region and has built a health insurance-certified multi-use-case platform powered by Pexip. The platform serves a variety of mission-critical telehealth use cases for practitioners, clinics, and other care providers. Together with Pexip, they have launched an ongoing co-creation working relationship to jointly advance the video capabilities of their locally hosted platform further.
SIP Guest Join was announced in the Q1 presentation and launched at the beginning of Q2. SIP Guest Join enables anyone in an organization with CVI capabilities to join meetings from anyone inside or outside their organization. You are no longer limited to joining meetings that have the so-called CVI coordinates in them (additional join details), a standard Teams invite is all it takes. The technology you have will figure out and enable your video conferencing system to join that meeting with one single press of a button.

Pexip launched direct calling for Microsoft Teams Rooms, which enables direct one-to-one calling from Microsoft Teams Rooms to all other video conferencing devices. With Pexip, users can now simply go to a Teams Room, dial the address ("number") of the person
they want to call, and hit the call button. The opposite is also possible, meaning that anyone with a SIP or H. 323-enabled device can call a Teams Room. You no longer need to schedule a meeting in advance to call your colleague, reseller, vendor, or friend.

Pexip has a partnership with Nvidia that focuses on bringing the benefit of AI to secure deployments. We are co-developing live translation with several large customers, and this is currently a pilot feature.
In Q2, Pexip launched version 32 of its core Pexip Infinity platform. Key additions and updates include a makeover of multiple features related to Microsoft Teams interoperability:
• Major updates to the Teams-like experience - introducing support for Microsoft's Large Gallery view: The Teams-like layout now supports video participants across multiple
screens and dynamically displays presented content as part of the layout. Large Gallery view allows VTC participants to toggle between their standard view and Microsoft's Large Gallery view.

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.
Consolidated revenue amounted to NOK 232.9 million in Q2 2023 (NOK 195.0 million in Q2 2022), representing a 19% increase from Q2 2022. The increase was largely driven by currency effects. Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) was the largest sales theatre, accounting for NOK 117.4 million (NOK 113.0 million) representing 50% of group revenue in Q2 (58%), followed by Americas, accounting for NOK 90.1 million (NOK 57.2 million) representing 39% (29%), and Asia-Pacific (APAC), accounting for NOK 25.4 million (NOK 24.8 million) representing 11% (13%).
Self-hosted software was the largest revenue area in Q2 2023 with NOK 118.9 million (NOK 94.8 million). Revenue from Pexip as-a-Service was NOK 114.0 million in Q2 2023 (NOK 100.2 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 data center and hosting for the Pexip as-a-Service, network services, commissions and software licenses, and hardware and equipment. Cost of sale amounted to NOK 24.4 million in Q2 2023 (NOK 29.1 million), reflecting a gross margin of 90% (85%).
Operating expenses consist mainly of salary and personnel expenses and other operating expenses. Salary and personnel expenses amounted to NOK 157.0 million in Q2 2023 (NOK 204.0 million), which is 67% of the quarterly revenue (105%). In Q2 2023 the cost related to employee options and related employer tax costs was NOK 8.8 million compared
to NOK 6.6 million in Q2 2022. Pexip had 319 employees in permanent positions at the end of Q2 2023 (474 at the end of Q2 2022).
Other operating expenses amounted to NOK 42.8 million (NOK 59.5 million), which reflects a level of 18% of the quarterly revenue (31%). 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 1.0 million (NOK 26.8 million). The costs in Q2 2023 are mainly related to the termination fee of a subcontractor, while Q2 2022 costs were largely related to restructuring.
Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) amounted to NOK 7.7 million in Q2 2023 (negative NOK 124.4 million), reflecting a 3% EBITDA margin (-64%).
Depreciation and amortization costs were NOK 42.8 million in Q2 2023 (NOK 24.4 million). The increase is due to the increased activation of intangible assets and leasing contracts.
Net financial income was NOK 10.1 million (NOK 34.3 million), mainly related to currency.
Profit before tax was negative NOK 25.0 million (negative NOK 114.5 million). Profit after tax was negative NOK 19.2 million (negative NOK 89.5 million).
Consolidated revenue was NOK 493.6 million for the first half of 2023 (NOK 417.4 million). The increase was largely driven by currency effects.
Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) was the largest sales theatre, accounting for NOK 240.5 million (NOK 218.6 million) representing 49% of group revenue in the period (52%), followed by Americas, accounting for 208.6 million (NOK 150.4 million) representing 42% (36%), and Asia-Pacific (APAC), accounting for NOK 44.5 million (NOK 48.5 million) representing 9% (12%).
Cost of sale amounted to NOK 45.7 million (NOK 54.9 million), reflecting a gross margin of 91% (87%). Cost of sales decreased due to lower hosting and network costs, as well as lower costs of hardware and equipment.
Operating expenses consist mainly of salary and personnel expenses and other operating expenses. Salary and personnel expenses amounted to NOK 316.6 million in the first half of 2023 (NOK 392.1 million), which is 64% of revenues in the period (94%). The reduction is mainly due to the reduction in employees over the last twelve months.
Other operating expenses amounted to NOK 87.8 million (NOK 119.9 million) for the first half of 2023, which reflects 18% of revenue (29%). The reduction is due to the cost-cutting initiatives and the effects were realized across multiple cost categories.
Other gains and losses amounted to a loss of NOK 0.7 million (NOK 26.8 million).
Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) amounted to NOK 42.8 million for the first half of 2023 (negative NOK 176.3 million), reflecting a 9% EBITDA margin (negative 42%).

There were no subsequent events after June 30, 2023.
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 targets a 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 explosive adoption and usage of video communication following Covid-19, 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 Connected Spaces, Secure Spaces, and Video Innovation.
Pexip's solutions can be categorized into both mature markets and growth stage markets, two markets with different structural demands and required strategies. Pexip focuses its business areas into two main areas: Interoperability and infrastructure solutions - comprising Connected Spaces including legacy areas, and secure, custom solutions - comprising Video Innovation and Secure Meetings. Pexip targets growth of 20% in Secure Spaces and Video Innovation while estimating a stable development in Connected Spaces.
Pexip is targeting an EBITDA of NOK 100-150 million and a positive free cash flow of NOK 85-100 million for 2023. Going forward beyond this, Pexip will balance growth and profitability.
