We transform how people work.
Q1 2021 was a good quarter with an order intake 3 times higher than in Q1 2020, and with revenue in line with expectations. The large increase in the order intake is a strong indicator of a world on its way out of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The most important event in Q1 was the establishment of a partnership with Microsoft to design, develop and deliver visual collaboration solutions for Microsoft Technology Centers worldwide. Again, Cyviz demonstrates that the Easy Platform is designed for superior experiences and outperforms competitive solutions when put to the test. The impressive track record that Cyviz holds, with customers ranging from the Department of Defense to industryleading global organizations, helps us win new customers of rank. Another interesting example is the installation at the Dubai World Expo, where Cyviz will equip Accenture's exhibition with state-of-the-art visual collaboration, exposing Cyviz technology to 2 million visitors over 6 months.
Further significant orders valued above NOK 5 million include security operations centers in the Middle East and North America, military command & control centers in South East Asia and the Middle East, financial services boardroom solutions and innovation facilities at GlaxoSmithKline.
Karbon Invest AS invested NOK 49.5 million in the company in Q1 and increased their shareholdings to nearly 15%. The newly appointed Chairman of the Board, Rune Syversen, is employed by Karbon Invest and brings a wealth of industry knowledge and IT growth success to Cyviz.
Extensive recruitment is necessary to reach the projected annual growth targets. In Q1 2021, 20 new employees were hired and brings us ahead of the annual recruitment plan to date. The majority of new hires are sales resources and software developers to support our growth plans and strategic goals.
The Cyviz Experience Centers (CEC) are a key element in the go-to-market strategy and serves as the main customer arena, for both virtual and in-person engagements. During Q1, the CECs in Atlanta, Oslo, and Singapore were upgraded. Partner CECs is an emerging opportunity to expand Cyviz' market coverage and to acquire more engagements. In Q1, a partner organization was put in place to manage global strategic partnerships to extend Cyviz' reach and uncover new business opportunities.
| Financial highlights (NOK million) | Q1 2021 | Q1 2020 |
|---|---|---|
| Total revenue | 56.9 | 56.5 |
| Gross profit1 | 24.9 | 26.6 |
| Gross margin | 43.8% | 47.1% |
| EBITDA2 | -7.6 | -3.7 |
| EBITDA margin | -13.3% | -6.5% |
| Cash flow from operations | -17.4 | 0.7 |
| Cash and cash equivalents | 24.3 | 4.2 |
| Net interest-bearing debt (-) / deposits (+) | 14.3 | -80.8 |
| Equity-ratio | 64.6% | 7.3% |
| Order intake | 88.0 | 29.4 |
| Order backlog | 114.2 | 107.0 |
| Book-to-bill ratio3 | 1.5 | 0.5 |
1 Gross profit is defined as revenues less cost of materials, including subcontractor costs
2 EBITDA is earnings before depreciation and amortization
3 Book-to-bill ratio is order intake in the period divided by revenue in the same period. A ratio above 1.0 indicates an increased order backlog and vice versa
Total revenue for Q1 2021 ended at NOK 56.9 million, up from NOK 56.5 million in the same quarter 2020. Revenues are still impacted by the low order intake in 2020 due to Covid-19. However, with an order intake in Q1 2021 of 2x average quarterly order intake in 2020, we see a positive shift in activity. Gross margin for the quarter ended at 43.8% (47.1%).
Gross margin is dependent on project mix and Q1 was negatively affected by relative low margin on a large government and defense project.
EBITDA in Q1 2020 ended at NOK -7.6 million compared to NOK -3.7 million in Q1 2020. This is in line with the business plan and is impacted by NOK 2.9 million in increased personnel expenses due to extensive hiring to support the plan. Reported EBIT ended at NOK -11.7 million after depreciations and amortizations of NOK 4.4 million.
Cyviz had an operational cash flow of NOK -17.4 million in the quarter (0.7 million.) In addition to the negative results from the operations, the cash flow is impacted by a temporary increase in working capital due to preparations for delivery of several large projects in Q2. Total cash flow in Q1 2021 was NOK -23.2 million, leaving the company with a cash balance of NOK 24.3 million by the end of the period.
During Q1 2021, the company raised gross proceeds of NOK 49.5 million in a share issue directed towards Karbon Invest AS. Since cash from the issue was received early Q2 2021, the 31 March 2021 balance sheet the proceeds from the issue are showed as "subscribed capital increase, not received".
The company's total equity at the end of Q1 2021 was NOK 143.0 million, corresponding to an equity ratio of 64.6%. The equity ratio at the end of Q1 2020 was 7.3%.
Interest bearing debt amounted to NOK 10 million at the end of the quarter compared to NOK 85.0 million at the end of Q1 2020.
As of March 31, 2021, Cyviz had a net cash position of NOK 24.2 million. In addition, the company has a NOK 50 million credit facility available for working capital financing.
The start of 2021 has been strong with an order intake for the first half of 2021 that is expected to surpass the full year order intake in 2020. We expect to see an increase in demand for Cyviz' standardized solutions across verticals and regions coming out of Covid and accelerated by the investments made in new hires and partnerships during first half of 2021. Still, the uncertainty around deliveries caused by Covid-restrictions remains in some countries and regions.
The newly signed global agreement with Microsoft has added 8 new sites during Q2 in addition to the first 5 that came in Q1. These are the first 13 of a global roll out that will continue over the next years. This agreement serves to strengthen Cyviz' position as the leading global provider of standardized collaboration solutions in the marketplace and we expect it to provide an increase in interest and demand for our solutions globally going forward.
Long-term, market research and trends are pointing towards a shift in how people work. With more remote workers and less travel, the hybrid way of working will increase the need for standardized collaboration solutions. There is also an increasing demand for remote services and operations within both the corporate and industrial sectors which makes Cyviz' product offerings increasingly relevant going forward.
