Financial review

Pexip's Infinity software platform was the largest revenue area in Q4 2020 with NOK 159.2 million, up from NOK 89.6 million in Q4 2019. Revenue from Pexip's cloud service was NOK 69.9 million in Q4 2020, up from NOK 27.3 million in Q4 2019. The market, where Pexip focuses on the large enterprise and public sector segments, continues to show increased demand for video communication services. In particular, we see a high customer focus on security and adaptation to a hybrid working future with more video usage as organizations return to the office. Europe, Middle-East and Africa (EMEA) continues to be the largest sales theatre, accounting for NOK 131.2 million (57 % of total) of group revenue in Q4, followed by Americas, accounting for NOK 72.3 million (32 % of total) and Asia-Pacific (APAC), accounting for NOK 25.6 million (11 % of total).

Cost of sale amounted to NOK 16.5 million in Q4 2020, up from NOK 4.4 million in Q4 2019. The resulting gross margin was 93 % in Q4 2020, compared to 96 % in Q4 2019. Cost of sale increased in the quarter due to higher hosting and network cost related to higher usage of Pexip's cloud service offering.

Salary and personnel expenses amounted to NOK 130.7 million in Q4 2020 (57 % of revenue), compared to NOK 59.2 million in Q4 2019 (51 % of revenue). The increase is mainly due to high growth in employees in 2020, in line with Pexip's growth strategy. The somewhat lower growth in salary and personnel expenses from Q3 to Q4 is due to a reversal of a provision for employer tax costs on employee options. This is due to the lower share price as of 31 December 2020 compared to 30 September 2020 and reduces employee benefit expenses with about NOK 10 million. With the development in share price after the reporting date, this provision is expected to be reversed in Q1 2021. Pexip had 361 employees at the end of Q4 2020, up from 182 at the end of Q4 2019 and 307 at the end of Q3 2020.

Other Operating Expenses amounted to NOK 32.3 million (14 % of revenue) in Q4 2020, compared to NOK 21.4 million in Q4 2019 (18 % of revenue). The increase is mainly due to growth in operating cost in line with overall activity growth in the business, as well as investments in marketing to raise the awareness of the Pexip brand. Compared to 2019, costs related to travel are lower due to Covid-19 effects on travel.

Pexip's (Pexip or the Group) consolidated revenue was NOK 229.0 million in Q4 2020, compared to NOK 116.9 million in Q4 2019. The increase of 96 % was mainly driven by higher revenue from Pexip's Infinity software platform to new customers, but also by a strong growth in revenue from the cloud solution. Although Pexip's strategy is to invest heavily in further revenue growth near-term, strong sales in the quarter resulted in solid profitability with an EBITDA of NOK 49.5 million (22 % EBITDA margin), up from NOK 32.0 million (27 % of revenue) in Q4 2019. For the full year (FY) of 2020, Pexip's revenue was NOK 678.5 million, up 83% from NOK 370.0 million in FY 2019.

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%.
