Financial report and status
Since assuming the position as CEO, "focus" has been one of the mantras in the organization. We are increasingly focusing the company's resources to grow and excel in the Retail Technology business area. Part of "focus" is determining what not to do – so we can increase our presence and depth in priority areas. In that respect we have converted a number of our previously own offices into partner offices. We are also continuously striving to develop clear roles and responsibilities to ensure everybody in the organization can focus their efforts and pull in the same direction.
The overall market outlook for Retail Technology is strong. From the growth of e-commerce in retail, we are positioned to enjoy a "double opportunity". On the one hand side to support retailers, particularly incumbents, in establishing and developing their e-commerce offering. And on the other hand to support retailers in improving their in-store productivity, which is increasingly needed as a larger portion of retail sales goes online.
In our third quarter, Retail Technology constituted approximately 80 % of StrongPoint's revenue, and more so in terms of bottom line. Retail Technology's topline grew a strong 20 % vs. same quarter last year, and sale of our E-commerce solutions grew by close to 80 %. The EBITDA-margin in Retail Technology also had a healthy improvement to 14 % (12 % excl. IFRS), from 7 % in the same quarter last year. The improvement is driven by cost reduction initiatives as well as by a more favorable solutions and services mix. The volatile Cash Security
business area influenced the quarterly figures, resulting in a flat overall performance compared to last year on both top and
bottom line.
We are transitioning to be
the retailers' trusted
partner. The journey has just begun. We have a solid foundation to build on, including a strong presence with retail companies in a selected number of geographies, expertise in both hardware and software development, a strong local field service and support network in key geographies, and products and solutions with world-class potential. Going forward, we will build on the strength of being a full service provider for our customers. We will pursue pragmatic opportunities geographically where the product/market fit is appropriate, and increasingly promote our proprietory solutions with world-class potential to a wider audience.
Finally, we are dedicated to investing in our people – the human resources that are the fundament for our company. Whether employed in our Labels, Cash Security or Retail Technology business area, we will do our utmost to be the preferred employer and continuously develop our people to succeed in the future.

The business area Retail Technology delivers solutions that streamline store operations, enable e-commerce, and simplify the shopping experience. StrongPoint is represented with its own organization in its primary markets, and sells its products and solutions to the outside markets through a network of partners.
The Group also consists of two other business areas: Cash Security, which is a leading supplier of IBNS (Intelligent Banknote Neutralization Systems) in the European market, and Labels, which is a leading supplier of adhesive labels in Norway and Sweden.
Revenue in Q3 2019 grew a mere 2 % vs. same quarter last year. This flat development constitutes of very different performance in two of StrongPoint's business areas. Retail Technology grew 20 % in this quarter compared to last year. Cash Security had a 57 % revenue decline affected by a few but large orders, which led to variations in a year-on-year comparison.
Retail Technology in Norway had a high activity level driven by ESL and service operations. The Baltics continued to produce good results based on large deliveries of Self-Checkout, ERP and POS projects.
EMEA and partners continued the strong delivery rate of Cash Management solutions to the Spanish and South African market.
E-commerce grew by 79 % in the quarter compared to Q3 2018, driven by a strong performance in picking (Pick & Collect) and delivery (Click & Collect) solutions.
The growth in Retail Technology was partly offset by the large decrease in revenue from the Cash Security business area vs. same quarter last year. It is now clear that the earlier announced Sberbank order with delivery in second half 2019 will be delivered in full in Q4. Further to this, the order of up to 580 CIT-cases has increased to 880 cases.
EBITDA for the group was MNOK 17.8 (15.2) in Q3, of which the IFRS 16 effect was MNOK 5.7. The very strong EBITDA development in Retail Technology was offset by a large decline in the EBITDA contribution from Cash Security and a temporary increase in corporate costs due to restructuring and investments. The MNOK 30 p.a. cost savings program continues to have a positive effect on EBITDA in Retail Technology. Some of these cost savings are reinvested in priority growth areas such as e-commerce and Spain.
60 80 100 120 Delivery of Cash Management solutions through the rental concept in Spain (Easy Access) affected both revenue and EBITDA in the quarter. Financial figures will continue to be influenced by the mix of purchased and rented solutions going forward. The profit & loss statement will show lower revenue compared to traditional sales, and the working capital will increase as the rented solutions currently are financed by equity. 200 250 300 350
The Swedish retailers are continuing to sign up to StrongPoint's E-commerce solutions – both Pick & Collect and Click & Collect.
The first Vensafe solution in Estonia was installed at Keila Supermarket. This is also the first live store installation in Europe where age verification technology is used at self-checkouts for selling tobacco and other age-restricted items.
After a successful test of StrongPoint's new Unico Cash Management solution at Hochbahn in Germany, further units were installed at customers in Spain and Norway.
Cash Security received its first order for CIT cases from the postal service in Bosnia. They have so far implemented the solution for CIT in one of their regions.
StrongPoint and Exclusivas Iglesias signed a partnership agreement, granting Exclusivas Iglesias the rights to sell StrongPoint solutions in Portugal. The agreement grants Exclusivas Iglesias the exclusive right to sell StrongPoint's Cash Management solutions to small retail customers and customers within the hospitality segment, and a non-exclusive right to sell all other StrongPoint solutions in Portugal. Under this agreement Exclusivas Iglesias has so far purchased more than 40 Cash Management solutions.
Easy Access, which enables customers to rent Cash Management solutions through StrongPoint, is rapidly growing in Spain. More than 80 solutions were installed in Q3, constituting a sales value of MNOK 5-6. More than 200 units are installed year to date as rental solutions.

Q3 was yet another strong quarter for Retail Technology Norway with a growth rate of 31 %. Main drivers were deliveries of ESL, Vensafe and services. The services revenue is increasing as a result of the installed base.
In Q3 the first Unico Cash Management solution was delivered to a Norwegian grocery store.
StrongPoint started delivering ESL to Joker in the first part of the year, and the deliveries is expected to be completed by 2020.
The operating revenue decreased 9 % in Q3 compared to last year. This was due to reduction in Cash Management and Vensafe solutions while E-commerce revenue was growing. ESL deliveries continued as previous quarters. Earlier this year Coop signed an agreement to pilot Click & Collect. Following the success the solution will be a major part of the grocery chain's "Hämta-koncept" with further deliveries this year and in 2020.
The Baltic countries delivered yet another strong quarter with a growth of 35 %, and are increasing their relative share of the Retail Technology revenue. This is the fifth consecutive quarter with year over year growth in revenue. Year to date the business has almost doubled with a growth rate of 58 %. Good underlying operations and several large deliveries, especially within Self-Checkout solutions and ERP/POS projects are contributing to the growth.
The first Vensafe solution in Estonia was installed at Keila Supermarket. This is also the first live store installation in Europe where facial recognition
technology is used at self-checkouts for selling agerestricted items.
StrongPoint's first payment station was installed at Rimi Baltics. This is a Self-Checkout solution developed by StrongPoint to be used in combination with Self-Scanning. It can also be a stand alone Self-Checkout solution for convenience stores.
The revenue in Q3 was generated by strong organic growth in Spain and the large order of Cash Management solutions to South Africa. In addition, more than 80 units were rented out this quarter.
The year-to-date comparison vs. last year is also influenced by the sale of the Cash Management as a Service contract to Alimerka which resulted in a one-off payment of MNOK 36.0 with an EBITDA effect of 21.3 in Q2 2018.
Earlier this year StrongPoint received the first order of Click & Collect from a Spanish supermarket chain and a logistics company. Both customers see the benefit of StrongPoint's Click & Collect solution and the pilots will be used to evaluate if this solution will be a part of their future delivery concept.
To accelerate sales, StrongPoint uses a network of agents (RoadRunners) in Spain. These agents are smaller distributors whose main task is to sell Cash Management solutions to targeted customers in their geographical area. We have recently expanded and enhanced our Cash Management offering by adding two new solutions: Compact and Unico, in addition to the well-established CashGuard Premium.
E-commerce had a growth of 79 % in the quarter driven by Click & Collect and Pick & Collect solutions. StrongPoint experiences great interest in the market. All the major retail grocery chains in Sweden have already implemented one or more of StrongPoint's E-commerce solutions. Further, both grocery and non-grocery retailers across Europe are evaluating different solutions for picking and delivery from StrongPoint.
StrongPoint is investing in "productification" of the E-commerce Logistics Suite. The project, called E20, will continue through 2020. This investment will develop our E-commerce Logistics Suite into a fully scalable solution.
StrongPoint develops and sells technology solutions that streamline store operations, enable e-commerce, and simplify the shopping experience. The Group delivers proprietary solutions within In-store Productivity, E-commerce, Payment Solutions and Check Out Efficiency, as well as tailor-made retail solutions from leading third-party suppliers, including electronic shelf labels (ESL), POS, ERP, consulting services, scales and wrapping machines.
1) Alimerka decided to purchase the rented CashGuards in Q2 2018, which gave a one-off effect of 36 MNOK on revenue and 21.3 MNOK on EBITDA.
2) IFRS 16 had a positive effect on the EBITDA of MNOK 3.6 in Q3 2019 and MNOK 10.8 YTD 2019.

Retail Technology delivered a strong quarter with a growth of 20 % compared to the same quarter last year. The main drivers were continued deliveries of ESL, Vensafe and e-commerce, Cash Management solutions to the Spanish and South African market and Self Checkout and software related projects in the Baltics.
EBITDA in Q3 increased to 25.9 (11.0). This was a result of higher revenues and margin improvements in combination with the cost reduction initiatives implemented last year. At the same time we continue to invest in strategically important growth areas like E-commerce software and sales in Spain. IFRS 16 effects were MNOK 3.6 for Retail Technology.

Cash Security offers solutions for Cash In Transit (CIT). The business area focuses on innovative IBNS (Intelligent Banknote Neutralisation System) technology, which protects cash without the need for weapons or costly armored vehicles.
The Cash Security business is typically affected by a few but large orders, which leads to variations in a year-onyear comparison. The previously reported order from Sberbank of up to 580 CIT-cases is now increased to 880 cases and expected to be delivered in full in Q4 2019. Sberbank is the largest bank in Russia with 14 000 branches in 83 regions.
Cash Security received its first order for CIT cases from the postal service in Bosnia. The customer has so far implemented the solution for CIT in one of their regions.
The earlier announced LEAN project, that was initiated to better align our cost base with activity levels, is now ready to be executed. We expect a bottom-line impact of
at least MNOK 5 p.a. from this initiative starting January 2020. The impact stems from improved productivity, cost effects in procurement, and lower quality costs. The business area has its own sales and service organization in Sweden, Russia, France, Belgium and Norway, as well as partners in several countries, including Italy, Bosnia, Croatia, Serbia and the UK.
StrongPoint's CIT cases have the highest level of security in the market, and regardless of the expertise, time, methods and tools used in a robbery attempt, the contents of the cases will always be permanently stained.
*) IFRS 16 had a positive effect on the EBITDA of MNOK 0.8 in Q3 2019 and MNOK 2.6 YTD 2019.
Labels has leading expertise in the design and production of adhesive labels. The business area is well adapted to today's market situation with efficient work processes, new technology and modern facilities.
Operating revenue in Q3 2019 increased by 7 % compared to last year. Market headwinds, high price competition and negative FX effects are the main factors for the decline in margin in the quarter. Actions have been initiated to increase revenue and efficiency in production of labels to mitigate this.
StrongPoint has accepted an initial offer for compensation from BaneNor of MNOK 55.6 to relocate from its label facility in Norway. The railway construction work is estimated to start 2020/2021, and payment of the compensation fee is estimated to January 2020. The compensation fee and time of payment is subject to BaneNor's Board approval and the finalization of the agreement between the parties.
The business area is among the largest suppliers of adhesive labels in the Swedish and Norwegian markets. Labels uses FSC-certified material from EU/ EEA/UK in its label production to ensure that the paper is produced in a sustainable manner, and that the production meets the regulations for health and safety in the EU. In the autumn 2019, the label factory in Sweden will be certified according to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. In addition, there will be a focus on further streamlining and digitalization of production and administrative processes.
