Pexip delivers strong revenue growth and solid profitability in Q4 2020

Oslo, Norway, 11 February 2021 - The video communications provider, Pexip, today

81.9 million in Q4 2020, up from USD 47.2 million in Q4 2019, representing an

increase of 73%. The growth was driven by a range of important customer wins

both in the enterprise segment and in the public sector, such as a record deal

with the US Defense Health Agency at approximately USD 2 million in ARR. At the

same time the percent of retained revenue from existing customers, was 114% year

-on-year, including churn of 10% year-on-year.

"I am happy to report a strong Q4 2020 with record high revenue and solid

profitability, providing strong momentum into 2021. We are well on track to

reach our target of ARR of USD 300 million by the end of 2024 as companies and

public entities are preparing for the complex requirements of a post Covid-19

hybrid working environment, and where secure, efficient, and flawless video

conferencing systems will play an essential role. This is at the core of Pexip's

offering, and our investments in increased sales capacity and R&D has resulted

in a range of important new contracts during the quarter", said CEO of Pexip Odd

Sverre Østlie.

Pexip has rolled out several important new product launches during Q4 2020.

"I am very excited about our newest launches such as Pexip Private Cloud and the

Pexip Room cooperation with Logitech. We are also launching an important

partnership for telehealth in collaboration with Epic, and more will come. 2021

will be an active year in terms of product enhancements," said Odd Sverre

Østlie.

Revenue in Q4 was NOK 229.0 million, up 96% from NOK 116.9 million in Q4 2019,

driven by higher revenues from the Infinity software platform to new customers,

and strong revenue growth from the cloud solution.

Cost of sales in Q4 was NOK 16.5 million, reflecting a gross margin of 93%, up

from NOK 4.4 million in Q4 2019 due to higher usage of the cloud service,

resulting in higher hosting and network costs.

Reported EBITDA in Q4 was NOK 49.5 million, reflecting a 22% margin, up from NOK

32.0 million in Q4 2019. Strong sales in the quarter resulted in solid

profitability in a period with high investments into ARR growth, according to
