Stable position in a challenging market

The first quarter of 2025 was dominated by continued volatility in market conditions, a trend established in the latter part of last year. The sleep health segment has experienced a general decline in the App Store, affecting the industry as a whole. Despite this, Sleep Cycle is stable. Revenue for the quarter amounted to SEK 64.9 million, compared to SEK 63.5 million in the same period last year, with an EBIT margin of 26.3 percent - a result that demonstrates our ability to successfully navigate even in a turbulent market.

During the quarter we gained market share from competitors, which is a clear sign of the strength of the product and the brand. The number of paying subscribers reached 904,000, an increase of 11,000 compared to last year, but slightly below our own expectations. Given the market downturn, this confirms that Sleep Cycles' offering is strong and relevant. With a clear focus and an aligned strategy, we are well equipped for what lies ahead.

Sleep Cycle grows with the users

The app continues to evolve in line with market demands and user needs. A central element of our strategy is to increase the accuracy of our data - ensuring that the insights we provide to our users are reliable, relevant, and easy to understand. This is a key factor in strengthening the user experience and reducing churn. The launch of our Sleep Phases feature in December was an important step in this work – by providing the user with more accurate and easily accessible information about their sleep. During the quarter, we also intensified our reactivation strategy. Our ability to reactivate cancelled subscriptions has improved significantly compared to the first quarter of 2024.

In late March we started the roll-out of our refreshed brand. Retaining elements of Sleep Cycle's identity was an important part of this development - especially for our loyal users. The logo is retained, in an updated version, but now as part of a more modern and coherent design scheme that better reflects our future. This was an important step in how we attract new users, and we can already see a positive effect in the exposure we get in the App Store.

Powered by Sleep Cycle – our next growth engine

Our efforts to diversify revenue streams continue with the Powered by Sleep Cycle initiative. In addition to dialogues with potential customers for our unique and in many cases patented technology, during the quarter we accelerated our work on screening for sleep apnea, a disease of great importance to public health and with significant potential in many of our largest markets. The combination of our advanced sound analysis technology and a clear commercial strategy makes us optimistic about future potential. Dialogues with relevant authorities for the necessary certification are progressing, and we are confidently looking forward to starting clinical trials in the second quarter.

Aiming for sustainable growth

We remain committed to our medium-term financial targets – to double revenues and reach an EBIT margin of at least 25 percent, as evidenced by our 26.3 percent margin for the quarter. The uncertain macroeconomic environment - including adverse currency effects - remains a concern. At the same time, we are fully aware that the journey there will not be linear and we are working proactively to adapt our operations accordingly.

Sleep Cycle is a stable company in a volatile time. It is our ability to act, develop and focus that makes a difference – and what will carry us into the next phase of long-term and sustainable growth.

Finally, I would like to thank our Board of Directors, shareholders and employees - your commitment is crucial to our continued success.

ERIK JIVMARK, CEO

Sleep Cycle's product offering

With over three billion nights analyzed, Sleep Cycle helps its users understand and improve their sleep through advanced sleep analysis and personalized insights. Using our patented AI technology, we contribute to better sleep health globally, one night at a time. Our subscription-based business model creates stable and predictable revenue, while low customer acquisition costs result in strong profitability and sustainable cash flow.

Product news in brief

Sleep Stages is the world's first non-contact sleep analysis that uses sound-based analysis to interpret movement and respiratory patterns and help the user understand their sleep architecture and the balance between the different phases: dream (REM), light, and deep sleep.

Coughing with Cough Radar helps the user understand when their own cough levels are rising, often even before the user is aware of an approaching respiratory infection. The launch of Coughing together with Cough Radar provides users with live updates of respiratory infection, both in their local area and worldwide. Also new for 2024 is Cough Radar's alert system for when cough levels in the user's area start to rise.

Support for Siri and iOS 18 gives users new ways to launch the app, improved integration with Apple Watch, and the ability to use voice control via Siri, along with customization of the user interface, such as the color and appearance of the Sleep Cycle icon.

Future offers

The future of sleep optimization offers extensive possibilities. With an unmatched volume of sleep data, patented sleep analysis technology, and a broad user base, we are well positioned to create innovative solutions that not only improve sleep quality, but also support long-term health and well-being.

At Sleep Cycle, we strive to deliver a user experience that helps our users understand and optimize their health. With millions of users in more than 150 countries, we have a natural place in their daily lives, and it is their needs that drive us forward.

The technology of Sleep Stages will be an important part of expanding our current product offering and has given us the foundation we needed to start exploring solutions to sleeprelated challenges such as sleep apnea.

Our long-term vision is to be a leading partner for sleep and well-being, both for the individual and society.

Technology and user experience

We use AI and machine learning to manage large amounts of data and extract valuable information. Using advanced algorithms and technology, we extract patterns and contexts previously unknown to the user.

With our patented sound analysis, trained on more than three billion nights, Sleep Cycle provides the user with personalized analysis, recommendations, and advice on their sleep. The comprehensive sound analysis picks up everything from snoring and coughing, to tooth grinding and other noises that can disturb nighttime sleep, and frames this in the perspective of the user's overall health.

Growth through innovation

Sleep Cycle's mission is to improve global health by helping people sleep better. In 2024, we launched an updated business strategy. It takes off from the trends that drive the market and creates opportunities for Sleep Cycle to achieve strong and profitable growth.

Increased focus on health and well-being, understanding the importance of sleep to people's well-being, and the increased acceptance of subscription-based applications are all examples of structural global trends driving the sleep health market.

Sleep Cycle's strategy consists of three main areas – User Growth, User engagement, and Platform & Data – within which we implement a range of tactical activities to achieve our goals. The new strategy aims to aggressively focus on increased growth and to explore new revenue streams based on the unique technology and vast amount of data Sleep Cycle possesses.

Our strategy has an aggressive objective: Doubled income over the medium term with an annual profitability of at least 25 percent operating margin. With a strong core business as a foundation and a competent team, we are convinced that these goals can be achieved.

Strategic focus areas

Sleep Cycle is experiencing steady organic growth, with 80 percent of new users coming from referrals, thus demonstrating the quality and reputation of the product. This strategic initiative focuses on increasing visibility in earned channels through media exposure, simplified onboarding, continuous branding, new pricing strategy, and product development.

Partnerships play a central role in reaching new customer segments and growing the user base, with tailored approaches to maximize performance for both the company and our partners.

Retaining users is crucial to our subscription-based business model, and active users mean increased retention opportunities. This part of the strategy focuses on developing our capabilities to improve data quality and further increase trust in Sleep Cycle. There are many meeting points along the customer journey where we can help our users not only to create good habits, but also to maintain them. In this work, personalization is key. Launches such as Sleep Stages are a clear example of how we employ our unique technology and collected data to make Sleep Cycle an important part of people's everyday lives and contribute to their wellbeing. This type of personalized functionality increases user engagement and is also important for increasing conversion to paying users.

USER GROWTH USER ENGAGEMENT PLATFORM AND DATA

Sleep Cycle's platform processes over 300,000 hours of sleep data every hour. This means a large volume of health data that in itself has great value but also enables product improvements and business opportunities.

The new technology behind Sleep Stages combines sound analysis of respiratory patterns and movements with AI and machine learning based on extensive polysomnographic data. This unique technology is also used to explore solutions for breathing disorders, such as sleep apnea, which is a major public health problem.

Thanks to our proprietary technology, Sleep Cycle has full control over the platform and its use, creating opportunities to broaden our commercial offering – something we strive to further develop.

Financial overview

As all significant operations in the Group are conducted in the Parent Company, the comments below refer to both the Parent Company and the Group. For profit and cash flow, comparative figures refer to the corresponding period for prior year. For financial position, comparative figures refer to the balance sheet item as of December 31, 2024.

First quarter January – March 2025

Sales and earnings

The Group's net sales during the first quarter totaled tSEK 64,925 (63,457), an increase of 2.3% (13.0%) compared with prior year. The increase is explained by continued growth from partnerships and more paying subscribers. The lower growth rate despite more paying users is explained by a lower average revenue per subscription (ARPU), as well as lower sales to new customers compared to prior year. Currency-adjusted net sales growth amounted to 1.6% (11.1%) for the quarter.

Average ARPU decreased to SEK 272 (276), while currencyadjusted ARPU amounted to SEK 270. The decrease is explained by exchange rate fluctuations, more users converting from the free version to discounted subscriptions and a weaker inflow of new customers during the quarter.

The number of paying users amounted to 904k (893k), driven mainly by new customer acquisition, growth in partnerships and increased conversion from non-paying to paying subscribers albeit at a discounted offer. The challenging market situation led to fewer downloads than expected, but conversion and renewal rates remained stable, contributing to a continued strong user base.

The quarter has continued to see a good level of revenue and stable profitability. Earnings were affected by increased costs linked to growth-enhancing initiatives in line with the company's strategy. Operating profit for the first quarter totaled tSEK 17,091 (13,843) and the margin 26.3% (21.8%). The adjusted margin for the first quarter of 2024 was 30.9%. The first quarter of 2024 was affected by costs affecting comparability of tSEK 5,756 related to the reorganization and consolidation of operations to the head office in Gothenburg. The first quarter of 2025 has not been affected by costs affecting comparability.

Currency fluctuations had some negative impact on the result. As sales are made in foreign currency but payments from the App Store, for example, are made in Swedish kronor, revenues are affected by currency fluctuations – especially when the krona strengthens. Additional profit impact arises when the exchange rate changes between the moment of sale and moment of payment. During the quarter, the result was impacted by tSEK -1,291, mainly related to USD exchange rate fluctuations.

Net financial items for the quarter totaled tSEK 307 (687) and taxes on profit for the quarter totaled tSEK -3,606 (-3,006).

Profit for the quarter totaled tSEK 13,792 (11,524). Earnings per share before and after dilution amounted to SEK 0.68 (0.57).

Cash flow and financial position

Cash flow from operations in the first quarter amounted to tSEK 16,712 (18,273).

Cash flow from investing activities was -3,803 (-185) SEK related to capitalization of development expenditures.

Cash flow from financing activities for the quarter totaled tSEK -1,073 (-1,027) related to amortization of lease liabilities in the form of rents for office space.

Cash flow for the quarter totaled tSEK 11,836 (17,061). The group's cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period totaled tSEK 157,071 (150,532).

Consolidated equity totaled tSEK 93,249 as of March 31. Opening balance on January 1 was tSEK 79,457.

Notes

Note 1 General information

The address of the company's registered office is Drakegata 10, 412 50 Gothenburg, Sweden. Sleep Cycle is developing one of the world's most widely used sleep platforms. Sleep Cycle's sleep solutions help users fall asleep more easily, measure sleep habits and improve sleep and with the extensive sleep database contribute to improved sleep habits and increased sleep awareness worldwide. The business is essentially conducted in the parent company. The parent company's holding of shares in group companies as of March 31, 2025 consists of the wholly owned subsidiary Sleep Cycle Sverige AB (559278–9688). Sleep Cycles' interim report for January-March 2025 was approved for publication on April 25 per Board decision on April 24, 2025.

Note 2 Accounting principles

The consolidated financial statement for Sleep Cycle AB has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU, the Swedish Annual Accounts Act (ÅRL) and the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's RFR 1 "Supplementary accounting rules for

groups". The parent company's financial statements are prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and RFR 2, "Accounting for Legal Entities." This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting." Disclosures in accordance with IAS 34 are provided in notes as well as elsewhere in the interim report. The accounting principles and calculation methods applied are in accordance with those described in the annual report for 2024. New standards and interpretations that came into force on January 1, 2025 have not had any effect on the group's or the parent company's financial reports for the interim period.

Note 3 Segment information

Sleep Cycle's CEO, as the most senior executive decision-maker, monitors and analyses profit and loss and the financial position of the group in its entirety. The CEO does not track results at a level lower than the Group as a whole. The CEO thereby also decides on allocation of resources, and makes strategic decisions based on the Group as a whole. Based on the above analysis, which is itself based on IFRS 8, it is concluded that the Sleep Cycle group consists of a single reporting segment.

Definitions of key performance indicators and calculations

Sleep Cycle applies the guidelines for alternative key performance indicators issued by ESMA. This report presents certain financial key performance ratios, including alternative key performance indicators which are not defined under IFRS. The Company considers these key performance indicators an important complement, as they facilitate a better evaluation of the Company's financial trends. These financial indicators should not be assessed independently or considered substitutes for performance indicators calculated in accordance with IFRS. In addition, such key performance indicators, as defined by Sleep Cycle, should not be compared with other key performance indicators with similar names utilized by other companies. This is because the key performance indicators below are not always defined in the same way, and other companies may calculate them differently than Sleep Cycle.
