Cyviz continued its strong commercial growth through Q3 2022 with a new record high order intake taking the company to a rolling 12-months perspective of NOK 561m, up 127% from Q3 2021.
Revenue continued to grow compared to same quarter in 2021 82%, and we delivered the second quarter in a row with positive EBITDA of NOK 4.7m. This is in line with our expectation and supports our statement after Q1 2022 that we are confident to deliver positive EBITDA result in 2022 as a whole.
The diversification by region and verticals continued through the quarter providing a strong base to continue the profitable growth journey. Performance highlights in the quarter from US and Middle East bringing in large new governmental and federal customers.
Looking at the underlying operational performance, we are also seeing the effect of the ramp up on sales capacity we built up during 2021 with more sales resources delivering on or above expectations taking the order backlog up to NOK 311m, up 106% compared to Q3 2021.
The largest single deal in the company's history landed in the quarter. A USD 14.5m deal with a governmental customer in Middle East, further strengthens the statement that the Cyviz solutions have become very attractive for large projects.
During the quarter we saw positive development from the 2 new strategic partners we signed in Q2 to support the company's direction towards platform and software. Both partners have started to sell and implement the Cyviz Easy SW platform with our Cyviz Easy SW agent for their Microsoft Team room customers. This is an area where the company will continue to invest and bring additional partners onboard during Q4 and into 2023.

Cyviz delivered revenues of NOK 116.3m in Q3, up NOK 52.3m (82%) compared to same quarter last year. Year-to-date, we are NOK 82.6m (37%) ahead of last year's revenues.
Strong performance from the commercial regions Europe and Middle East made up lion share of the growth with a combined increase of NOK 35m compared to Q3 2021. Regional diversification revenues continued from Q2 2022 with Middle East making up 43% of total revenues driven by both start-up and completion of several large projects within the government & defense-vertical. Europe was the second largest region for the quarter with 28% of total revenues. The performance was driven by the commencement of a large project for a Fortune 500-customer within the corporate segment for their new innovation center in UK, and from several projects within the energy-vertical.
Looking at revenues from a rolling 12-months perspective, Cyviz is at NOK 405m after Q3 2022. This represents a year-over-year growth of NOK 124m, or 44%.



Gross profit ended at NOK 55.1m for the quarter, the highest gross profit ever reported by Cyviz in a single quarter. This represents a growth of NOK 28.6m, or 108%, compared to Q3 2021.
Cyviz delivered gross margins of 47.4% compared to 41.4% in Q3 2021. The positive margin development can on a high level be explained by a reduced share of low-margin projects, increased recurring revenues and an accretive FX-development in USD/NOK.
On a rolling 12-months-basis, Cyviz has increased gross profit from NOK 122m in Q3 2021 to NOK 185m after this quarter, a growth of 51%.
Order intake ended at a new all-time-high of NOK 208.2m in Q3, up 127% compared to Q3 2021. The performance was driven by the major contract won in the Middle East worth NOK 145m, continued demand for innovation centers and event spaces from the corporate segment and several contracts won for control rooms and operations centers within the energy vertical.
Year-to-date, the order intake is at NOK 446m compared to NOK 288m same period last year, a growth of 55%. Government & defense makes up 49% of the total portfolio, followed by corporate (36%) and energy (7%) spread across all commercial regions and 95 unique customers.

The rolling 12-months trend is at NOK 561m which is a growth of NOK 219m (64%) compared to same quarter last year.

The backlog is NOK 311m after Q3 which is an increase of NOK 160m compared to same quarter last year. Lion share of the backlog has planned shipment and installation dates ranging between Q4 2022 and Q2 2023.
Cyviz delivered an EBITDA of NOK 4.7m in the third quarter of 2022. This was the second consecutive quarter with positive figures and an improvement of NOK 17m compared to Q3 2021. Increased revenue, improved gross margin and significantly reduced OPEX in percentage of revenue (43.3% Q3'22 vs 60.6% Q3'21) are the key drivers of the performance.
Year-to-date, Cyviz has a negative EBITDA of -NOK 8.6m compared to -NOK 12.5m same period last year.
Cyviz had a net cash flow from operating activities of NOK 70.7m in the quarter which represents a positive turnaround compared to the negative -NOK 54.5m reported in Q2. This was primarily driven through a reduction in accounts receivables of NOK 68m, reduced total inventories by NOK 7.4m and a profit before tax of NOK 1.7m.
Accounts receivables is now back at a normalized level of NOK 51.2m (NOK 55.4m same period last year) with the lion share due in November (NOK 24m) and December (NOK 21m).
Net cash flow from investment activities was NOK 9.1m for the quarter. Largest share stemmed from activation of R&D cost (NOK 2.3m), investment in new product development (NOK 2m) and investments in data lake technology from Microsoft (NOK 0.9m) for increased automation of project management and reporting. Activation related to implementation of new ERP system amounts to NOK 0.5m in Q3.
Net cash flow from financing activities of -NOK 46.5m relates to repayment of drawn amounts under the credit facility Cyviz has with DNB.
Cyviz' total equity at the end of Q3 was NOK 96.5m with a corresponding equity ratio of 54.6% (66.9% in Q3 2021).
Interest bearing debt amounted to NOK 9.5m after Q3 which is a long-term loan provided by Innovation Norway. We have paid the first installment of NOK 0.5m and the loan is to be repaid over a period of 7 years.
Cyviz increased its cash position from NOK 9.0m in Q2 to NOK 23.9m in Q3 driven by the positive operating cash flow and the reduction of accounts receivables.
The demand in the global market for modern and advanced collaboration solutions continues to grow across both regions and verticals with government and defense as the fastest growing segment. We expect this to continue despite challenges related to supply chain, covid and the war in Europe. Cyviz ability to capitalize on the increased demand in the market is good, reflected by our substantial growth in order intake quarter by quarter compared to our competitors. Largely driven by attractive solutions, strong global customer reference and the ability to convert interest into delivered projects faster than our key global competitors.
We expect to see a continuous influx among both new and existing customers for advanced collaboration solutions across meeting rooms, control & operations centers and innovation centers powered by the Cyviz Easy SW platform that provides the same user experience, remote support & management across sites and geographies.



The solid growth in order intake and backlog, together with increased demand for our solutions, are strong indicators that the growth will continue entering 2023. We will increase focus on products, SW and solutions to improve the recurring share of our business and optimize our partner portfolio for scale and diversification.
With our investments in new colleagues across sales, R&D and operations from 2021, Cyviz have both the commercial and operational capabilities necessary to meet the increasing demand from our customers. We are confident that the growth journey will continue throughout this year and beyond and reiterate our targets of 30% annual revenue growth and an EBITDA-margin of 15-20% in the medium-term perspective.
