Comments

Pexip as-a-Service Self-hosted Software

Operating revenues – Pexip as-a-Service

• Overall growth of 31% year-on-year to NOK 78 million, below ARR growth due to currency and high sales in Q3 2021 with delivery in Q4 2021

Operating revenues – Self-hosted Software

  • Overall increase of 37% year-on-year to NOK 104 million
  • No material impact of renewal timing which impacted Q1 and Q2 revenue recognition
  • Software revenue mainly recognized at time of delivery, which leads to quarterly variations in revenue recognition.

Gross margin

  • Higher cost of goods sold mainly due to high Pexip as-a-Service revenue growth and higher usage
  • Modernized service platform from own hardware to cloud compute, for better scale, resiliency and operations as well as lower investments in own hardware going forward

Increase in operating expenses from planned investments in Sales and R&D capacity

Executing on communicated growth strategy

Cash flow from investing activities per quarter Comments Significant investments in sales-related headcount, impacting EBITDA

NOK million, cash outflow

• Investments outweighing growth in revenue, leading to lower EBITDA

• YTD EBITDA-margin of -25% in line with 2021 guidance

Targeting negative 25-35% EBITDA margin in 2021/2022, profitable growth from 2023

Cash flow bridge

Cash flow bridge Q3 2021

NOKm

Comments

  • Negative EBITDA and net working capital main contributors to cash flow
  • Negative development in Net Working Capital in part related to holiday pay periodization, and high billing volume at the end of the quarter increasing accounts receivables
  • Cash position of NOK 923 million out of Q3 2021, Pexip has a solid cash position to fund the acceleration plan

Robust underlying profitability in line with mid-term ambition of growth + EBITDA above 50%

Illustrative EBITDA build-up

NOK million last twelve months (Percent of revenue)

  • Last twelve months revenue growth of 36%, gross margin of 90% and EBITDA of 25% excluding accelerated growth investments
  • Invested NOK 276 million in growth investments with limited revenue impact so far, that are essential to accelerate growth in a high-growth market

Note: Adjusting OPEX to employee staffing, assuming salary and other OPEX is scalable to number of employees. A normal long-term investment level would grow employees in Pexip to 300 in Q3 2021 from 215 in Q1 2020.
