Quarterly Report Q3 2021


Q3 is typically a strong quarter for Pexip in the public and federal sectors and this year was no exception. The Company saw continued interest from key public sector institutions looking for secure solutions for mission-critical communication requiring strict privacy and security. In addition, Pexip's unique interoperability capabilities remain a key selling point for many large organizations. This, together with the Company's unique selfhosted deployment option, is winning the trust of complex organizations such as The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) in the United States. This success is something that we are replicating with other similar customers across the world

In Q3, Pexip Holding ASA ("Pexip" or "The Company") demonstrated solid year-on-year growth despite a continued delay in sales as a result of uncertainty around office openings in some key geographies. Pexip's subscription base measured in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) reached USD 99.8 million in Q3 2021, up from USD 72.8 million in Q3 2020, representing a year-on-year increase of 37%. This was driven by strong sales to public sector organizations, such as the Defense Information Systems Agency, looking for secure video solutions for missioncritical communication requiring strict privacy and security. Pexip was delighted to move up from a "Visionary" to "Challenger" position in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Meeting Solutions and the Company sees this as a validation of the uniqueness of its product portfolio and extensive global customer base, as well as a recognition of the Company's ability to execute on its growth plans. On the organizational front, Øysteim Hem, CFO, has led the Company as Interim CEO during Q3 and continue to do so heading into Q4.
Pexip delivered solid growth in Q3 2021, with an increase in ARR of 37% year-on-year to USD 99.8 million. Of the 37% year-on-year growth in ARR, the full 37 percentage points (pp) were from new customers and part of the growth in ARR is related to customer portfolio acquisition. The customer portfolio acquisition contributed to approximately 20% of gross new sales in Q3. Net revenue retention rate, reflecting the percent of retained revenue from existing customers, was 100.1% year-on-year, including churn of 10.8% last twelve months. The higher churn, up from 10.0% in Q3 2020, is impacted by higher churn in non-core areas outside of Pexip's three main focus areas, which is expected to have a smaller impact going forward as it is becoming a smaller part of the subscription base. Pexip has also increased the capacity and structure around customer success with the objective to improve
customer onboarding and adoption, which is expected to have a positive impact on churn going forward.
Pexip added new ARR (delta ARR) of USD 7.1 million in Q3 2021, compared to USD 7.0 million in Q3 2020, and USD 2.7 million in Q3 2019. ARR from Pexip's Self-hosted Software reached USD 56.4 million in Q3 2021, up 23% year-on-year, while ARR from Pexip as-a-Service reached USD 43.4 million, up 61% year-on-year.
A significant Enterprise Agreement was signed with the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) in the United States. The contract is an Enterprise Agreement for one year with options to extend for two more years and it builds on the contract between DISA and Pexip which was originally signed in 2019. This contract demonstrates how Pexip continues to build relationships with key organizations over several years.
DISA is a US Department of Defense (DoD) combat support agency composed of military, federal civilians, and contractors. DISA provides information technology (IT) and communications support to the US President, Vice President, Secretary of Defense, the military services, combatant commands, and any individual or system contributing to the defense of the US. With the extension, Pexip will provide DISA with self-hosted software that will power their main videoconferencing service, as well as support interoperability with Microsoft Teams. Pexip's technology aligns with DISA's need for customized user interfaces and flexible deployment options across multiple global time zones and missions. Pexip is JITC-certified, which documents that Pexip is secure and interoperable per the requirements set by the US Department of Defense.
I am proud that an organization of such public importance and with such complex needs as DISA is recognizing Pexip's capability to enable their secure and flexible video communication. This contract proves that customers value our unique deployment models, including allowing the software to run inside the customer's own organization, while at the same time providing industry-leading interoperability capabilities. This is something that no other manufacturer can provide

Øystein Hem CFO and Interim CEO

The United States Department of Labor (DOL) is a cabinet level department of the U.S. Federal government, responsible for occupational safety, salary standards, and benefits. DOL selected Pexip-as-a-service as its collaboration solution for its new Hybrid Workplace initiative for its almost 18,000 employees. Pexip was chosen for its interoperability capabilities, connecting Microsoft Teams and Google Meet, as well as its One Touch Join functionality, enabling easy connection with all DOL's existing videoconferencing systems.
Pexip has secured a contract with one of the leading Central European car manufacturers. The contract was signed for Pexip Self-hosted software supplying both Pexip meetings, Microsoft Teams interoperability and One Touch Join functionality. Pexip will provide an integrated platform for its multiple locations and various
video conferencing solutions around the world. Pexip's One Touch Join and interoperability capability enables the customer to solve the challenge of coherent collaboration between locations. Pexip was chosen for its reliable and high-quality software, deployment architecture and for providing the required privacy and security to a customer with strict and complex needs.
Pexip has secured a contract with a central EU institution. The contract was signed for Pexip's Self-hosted software, including Cloud Video Interoperability (CVI) for Microsoft Teams interoperability. Because of the nature of the business, including a high degree of confidentiality of information across the world, the customer puts strict requirements on security and data privacy. Pexip was chosen due to its secure and reliable product offering.
Pexip moved up to a position as a "Challenger" in the 2021 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Meeting Solutions, after two consecutive years as a "Visionary". Pexip believes this position validates the uniqueness of the Company's product portfolio and extensive global customer base, as well as recognizing the Company's growth plans and ability to execute on them. Over the past year, Pexip has met ambitious growth goals and launched one-of-a-kind offerings like Pexip Private Cloud to give customers more data privacy and control. Pexip believes that the improved execution score shows that the Company is now a major player in the Meeting Solutions sector with a credible market position and the necessary resources to sustain continued growth. It also demonstrates that the Company has a strong core set of products with strength within interoperability, security and customization, and a proven ability to take those products to market at scale.

At the beginning of Q3, Odd Sverre Østlie, the CEO of Pexip at the time, came to an agreement with the Pexip Board that he would step down from his position and leave the Company. Øystein Hem, CFO, was appointed immediately as Interim CEO and continues to lead the Company during the succession process.
Pexip continues to expand its team to fulfil its long-term growth ambitions. By the end of Q3, the Company had 492 employees. The employee turnover ratio for full time employees in the period September 2020 to September 2021 has remained stable at 9.9% and is in line with the previous twelve months.
(Figures in brackets = same period prior year or relevant balance sheet date).
Pexip operates with two main product areas. Pexip self-hosted software, which mainly consists of sales from software license sales and related maintenance contracts, and Pexip as-a-Service, which consists of sales from Pexip's public cloud service.
Consolidated revenue was NOK 182.9 million in Q3 2021 (NOK 136.3 million). The increase was driven by growth in revenue from both product areas, but mainly from the self-hosted software due to strong sales in the quarter. Currency exchange differences between NOK, Pexip's reporting currency, and USD, Pexip's main invoicing currency, has had a small negative impact on revenue compared to the same period last year. Americas was the largest sales theatre, accounting for NOK 82.8 million (NOK 60.9 million) representing 45% of group revenue in Q3 (45%), followed by Europe, Middle-East and Africa (EMEA), accounting for NOK 81.8 million (NOK 67.1 million) representing 45% (49%), and Asia-Pacific (APAC), accounting for NOK 18.3 million (NOK 8.3 million) representing 10% (6%).
Pexip self-hosted software was the largest revenue area in Q3 2021 with NOK 104.7 million (NOK 72.9 million). Revenue from Pexip as-a-Service was NOK 78.2 million in Q3 2021 (NOK 63.4 million).
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 22.7 million in Q3 2021 (NOK 11.0 million), reflecting a gross margin of 88% (92%). Cost of sale has mainly increased due to a shift towards cloud compute compared to investing in own or renting hardware, which also reduces investments and operating expenses. This is driven by an increase in service robustness and to ensure a better long-term cost structure. Higher revenues and related hosting and network cost
from products requiring cloud compute is also a driver for higher cost of sale, while it reduces investments in own infrastructure. Cost of sale is expected to grow less than revenues from Pexip as-a-Service going forward, as some of the costs related to the platform modernization are fixed and not volume driven.
Operating expenses consist mainly of salary and personnel expenses and other operating expenses. Salary and personnel expenses amounted to NOK 152.1 million in Q3 2021 (NOK 117.3 million), which is 83% of the quarterly revenue (86%). The increase in the total level of salary and personnel expenses is mainly due to high growth in employees over the last twelve months, in line with Pexip's growth strategy. In Q3 2021 the cost related to employee options and related employer tax costs was NOK 2.9 million compared to NOK 1.1 million in Q2 2021 and NOK 14.7 million in Q3 2020, due to the fluctuation in the Pexip share price. Pexip had 492 employees at the end of Q3 2021 (307 at the end of Q3 2020).
Other operating expenses amounted to NOK 48.6 million (NOK 31.7 million), which reflects a level at 27% of revenue (23%). The increase from the same period last year is in line with Pexip's growth strategy and is mostly due to sales and marketing expenses.
Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) amounted to negative NOK 40.5 million in Q3 2021 (negative NOK 23.8 million), reflecting a negative 22% EBITDA margin (negative 17% EBITDA margin). The development in the EBITDA margin is as expected, as the Company invests into growth initiatives where the expected increase in revenue will trail the increase in operating expenses by 9-12 months due to ramp-up time, according to strategy.
Depreciation and amortization costs were NOK 18.2 million in Q3 2021 (NOK 10.9 million).
Net financial income was NOK 9.5 million (net expense of NOK 7.9 million).
Profit before tax was negative NOK 49.2 million for Q3 2021 (negative NOK 42.6 million). Profit after tax was negative NOK 31.8 million (negative NOK 35.6 million).
Consolidated revenue was NOK 539.7 million for Q3 YTD in 2021 (NOK 449.5 million). The increase of 20% was driven by growth in revenue from Pexip as-a-Service. Europe, Middle-East and Africa (EMEA) was the largest sales theatre as per Q3 YTD, accounting for NOK 285.9 million (NOK 247.4 million) representing 53% of group revenue in the period (55%), followed by Americas, accounting for NOK 204.4 million (NOK 162.2 million) representing 38% (36%), and Asia-Pacific (APAC), accounting for NOK 49.4 million (NOK 39.9 million) representing 9% (9%).
Cost of sale amounted to NOK 58.7 million for Q3 YTD in 2021 (NOK 26.0 million), reflecting a gross margin of 89% (94%). Cost of sale has mainly increased due to a shift towards cloud compute compared to investing in own or renting hardware, which also reduces operating expenses. This is driven by an increase in service robustness and to ensure a better long-term cost structure. Higher revenues and related hosting and network cost from products requiring cloud ocmpute is also a driver for higher cost of sale. The Company expects cost of sale to grow less than revenues forward, as some of the costs related to the platform modernization are fixed and not volume driven.
Operating expenses consist mainly of salary and personnel expenses and other operating expenses. Salary and personnel expenses amounted to NOK 476.2 million for Q3 YTD in 2021 (NOK 269.7 million), which is 88% of revenue in the period (60%). The increase is mainly due to high growth in employees over the last twelve months, in line with Pexip's growth strategy.
Other operating expenses amounted to NOK 139.2 million (NOK 147.6 million) for Q3 YTD in 2021, which reflects 26% of revenue (33%). The decrease from the same period last year is mainly due to one-time costs related to Pexip's listing on Oslo Børs in Q2 2020. During the IPO process, NOK 47.8 million were related to the secondary offering, professional advisors, and other related
fees. Adjusted for these one-time costs in Q2 2020, other operating expenses in the period increased in line with overall activity growth in the business, as well as investments in marketing to raise the awareness of Pexip amongst potential customers.
Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) amounted to negative NOK 134.2 million for Q3 YTD in 2021 (positive NOK 6.1 million), reflecting a negative 25% EBITDA margin (positive 1%). The development in the EBITDA margin is as expected, as the Company invests into growth initiatives where the expected increase in revenue will trail the increase in operating expenses due to ramp-up time, according to strategy.
Depreciation and amortization costs were NOK 53.2 million for Q3 YTD in 2021 (NOK 32.6 million).
Net financial income was NOK 2.6 million (net expense of NOK 44.8 million).
Profit before tax was negative NOK 184.9 for Q3 YTD in 2021 (negative NOK 71.3 million). Profit after tax was negative NOK 124.3 million (negative NOK 61.5 million).
Pexip continues to have a robust balance sheet and is well capitalized to fund the planned growth investments. Total assets amounted to NOK 2,328 million (NOK 2,436 million at the end of Q4 2020), and total equity amounted to NOK 1,925 million (NOK 2,022 million at the end of Q4 2020).
Current assets amounted to NOK 1,098 (NOK 1,321 million at the end of Q4 2020). Trade and other receivables decreased to NOK 139 million (NOK 193 million at the end of Q4 2020). Cash and cash equivalents decreased to NOK 923 million (NOK 1,101 million at the end of Q4 2020).
Non-current assets increased to NOK 1,230 million (NOK 1,114 million at the end of Q4 2020). Contract costs increased to NOK 245 million (NOK 211 million at the end of Q4 2020).
Total liabilities were at NOK 403 million (NOK 413 million at the end of Q4 2020). Of this, NOK 6.6 million are borrowings (NOK 9 million at the end of Q4 2020).
Current liabilities decreased to NOK 316 million (NOK 327 million at the end of Q4 2020).
Non-current liabilities were flat at NOK 87 million (NOK 87 million at the end of Q4 2020).
Cash flow from operating activities was negative NOK 88.7 million for Q3 2021 (negative NOK 48.5 million for Q3 2020). The negative cash flow reflects the investments the Company is making into strengthening its growth capacity. The change from Q3 2020 is mainly due to timing effects on receivables and payables.
Cash flow from investing activities was negative NOK 16.6 million in Q3 2021 (Negative NOK 10.7 million in Q3 2020). The decrease in cash flow from investing activities is related to payment to software development.
Cash flow from financing activities was negative NOK 5.6 million for Q3 2021 (positive NOK 3.4 million for Q3 2020).
In total, Pexip had a negative cash flow of NOK 110.9 million in Q3 2021 (negative NOK 55.8 million in Q3 2020).
On November 8, 2021, Pexip announced the acquisition of Skedify, a Belgium based Softwareas-a-Service customer engagement solution. The addition of the Skedify customer engagement platform to the Pexip portfolio enables Pexip to provide an end-to-end solution to meet the needs of customers in key verticals, such as Financial Services, High-Involvement Retail and HR & Recruitment. Pexip will acquire 100% of the shares in Skedify BV, for an enterprise value of EUR 8.00 million on a cash and debt-free basis and an equity value of EUR 3.95 million, settled in 275,917 shares valued at NOK 85, in addition to EUR 1.58 million in cash.
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. In 2020, Pexip has especially developed its approach to risk assessment and risk mitigation within financial reporting in preparation
for the listing, and within information security, where Pexip holds an ISO 27001 certification as an external recognition of its approach.
Pexip has not identified significant additional risk exposures beyond the ones described in the 2020 Annual Report.
Pexip is exposed to a number of risk factors related to: operational and market activities, customer relationships and third parties, laws, regulations and third parties, financial and market, among others. The Risk and Risk Management section in the 2020 Annual Report contains detailed description and mitigating actions.
Covid-19 has created disruption to the global economy, and continues to impact the usage of videoconferencing, usage of office meeting rooms and enterprise buying behavior.
Own operations have pivoted to an all-digital workflow, and most Pexip locations have been in various lockdown situations since the pandemic outbreak in 2020. Moreover, Pexip employees' expertise within videoconferencing and hybrid-working solutions has contributed to a smooth transition for the Pexip workforce to the required changes in ways of working that the pandemic has caused. The pandemic has required extraordinary efforts from the organization to support existing and new customers as demand and usage of videoconferencing spiked. This has enabled many of Pexip's customers to maintain business continuity and deliver vital services in industries such as healthcare, public services and pharmaceuticals.
In the long-term, Pexip believes that the growth of enterprise-grade video communication will increase due to the explosive adoption and usage of video communication following Covid-19, and implementation of sustainability measures. Many enterprises plan to adopt hybrid working models as they return to the office, combining office and remote working, that will provide benefits far beyond the need for social distancing, such as reducing travel and related emissions, enabling work flexibility and increasing productivity. Furthermore, Pexip believes in increased use of video in organizations' workflows with their clients/customers, creating additional new and significant market opportunities.
To accelerate growth Pexip has invested in increasing the Company's sales and marketing presence as well as R&D capabilities since the IPO. Pexip intends to deploy up to 70% of the net proceeds from the IPO over the next two to three years. This implies returning to a neutral EBITDA in 2023, and an estimated negative EBITDA-rate in 2021 and 2022 in the range of negative 25- 35%. Going forward, Pexip expects to have a more normalized investment level from 2022, allowing ARR growth to overtake growth in costs going forward. As Pexip exits the investment period, the Company expects above 25% EBITDA-rate in 2025 together with revenue growth above 25%. The key enabler for all these initiatives is strengthening the Pexip team, and Pexip is targeting 550-600 employees by the end of 2021.
In an environment that is adapting to a more decentralized working environment with focus on sustainability, Pexip believes that it is uniquely positioned to address the new technology needs of customers, with our ability to provide a great
meeting experience regardless of the device or platform in use. This is reflected in Pexip's long-term ambition to reach an ARR of USD 300 million by 2024.
