We made significant strides in the first quarter of 2025, marking our second consecutive quarter with positive EBIT. This reflects a sustained progress toward profitability and highlights the effectiveness of our cost reduction program. Cash flow improved substantially, and our key focus remains on strengthening our cash position while the strategic review continues.
Net sales grew by 23 percent in the first quarter, with organic growth of 5 percent. We are pleased the quarter demonstrated progress toward sustained profitability, reflected in an EBIT margin of 6 percent.
Products & Solutions noted an improved demand in Asia while Americas was impacted by uncertainty related to academic funding. Despite lower net sales, the segment's EBIT improved in the quarter.
The Integrations segment reported strong net sales growth. Order size and timing variability in our Integrations business continues to show quarterly fluctuations. Revenue from the acquired imaging-related business provided temporary support to overall net sales. This contribution is expected to cease after the second quarter of 2025. The organic growth was a robust 23 percent.
The Autosense segment doubled its organic net sales in the quarter. The Autosense business continues to progress steadily as our single-camera DMS and OMS solution matures ahead of OEM start of production. Over 700,000 vehicles on the road featured our interior sensing technology by the end of the quarter, reinforcing our credibility as a leading partner.
We are aligning our cost structure with business performance to enhance profitability. The cost reduction program launched in the second quarter of 2024 is progressing as planned, with accumulated savings of SEK 166 million to date and expected to exceed the SEK 200 million total savings target by the second quarter of 2025. Additional measures are being implemented throughout 2025 to further reduce costs.
We are also pleased to report that our year-on-year free cash flow has significantly improved, from SEK -115 million to SEK -14 million. This positive change is largely attributed to our cost reduction program and some early results from our strategic review, including the successful divestment of certain non-core patents of SEK 15 million during the quarter.
The uncertainty surrounding tariffs has so far had only a limited impact on our business, while uncertainty regarding academic funding in the US has had a more notable effect. It is a dynamic situation, and we are monitoring developments closely. Despite uncertainties, we delivered a solid first quarter with all three segments contributing to improved EBIT and we are successfully providing our leading technology to customers across various sectors.
We expect a strengthened cash position in the second quarter, driven by the recent progress and further supported by anticipated agreements with larger customers to advance orders. We continue to focus our business through cost reductions, divestments and strategic initiatives aimed at strengthening our mid- and long-term financial position. Combined with improved organic performance and enhanced liquidity we are confident that these efforts will result in solid progress toward financial stability and long-term profitability.

The Interim Report complies with the provisions of IAS 34, and the report for the Parent Company has been prepared pursuant to the provisions of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and RFR 2. In addition to the financial statements, disclosures under IAS 34.16A also appear in other parts of the interim report. The accounting policies of the Parent Company and the Group, and the calculation principles used in the report, are unchanged from those used in the most recently published Annual Report, with the exception of the application of new standards. The IASB has published amendments to standards that take effect from January 1, 2025, and onwards.
In January 2027, the new IFRS 18 standard will replace IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. Management is currently evaluating the implications of applying the new standard in the financial reports. Aside from IFRS 18, the IASB's amendments have not had any significant impact on the financial statements.
The total amount in tables and statements might not always summarize as there are rounding differences. The aim is to have each line item corresponding to the source and it might therefore be rounding differences in the total.
No acquisitions have occurred during the quarter.
On January 31, 2024, Tobii acquired all shares in FotoNation Ltd, including AutoSense business. This strategic acquisition strengthens Tobii's Interior Sensing offerings, including Driver Monitoring System (DMS) and Occupant Monitoring System (OMS).
The consideration for 100 percent of the shares in FotoNation Ltd amounted to a minimum of USD 43 million on a cash- and debt-free basis, of which USD 28 million was structured as a promissory note at 8 percent interest. The promissory note and interest are paid in three annual installments starting in 2027. A future payment of USD 15 million will be paid in four annual installments starting in 2028. There was therefore no upfront cash or share consideration.
Additional earnouts, estimated to be approximately USD 19 million at the time of the acquisition, may be generated by the Autosense segment upon meeting specific volume targets, with payouts scheduled for 2031. This estimation will be continuously assessed and adjusted over time for accuracy, see note 4 financial instruments.
Tobii is reporting three segments, Products & Solutions, Integrations, and Autosense. Net sales, gross profit, gross margin, operating profit/loss (EBIT) and operating margin (EBIT margin) is reported for each segment, which correspond to the key performance indicators monitored by Group Management.
The Products & Solutions segment serves B2B customers, academic clients, and consumers with a comprehensive portfolio of eye tracking solutions, including hardware, insight software, and services. Applications range from advanced research and tools and insights that enhance operational efficiency to engaging gaming experiences. Tobii hardware offering includes eye trackers such as the wearable Tobii Pro Glasses 3 for behavioural research, Tobii Pro Spectrum, Tobii Pro Fusion, and Tobii Pro Spark for eye tracking research, as well as the Tobii Eye Tracker 5 for gaming.
The Integrations segment provides customers with eye tracking integrated into XR technologies and intuitive screen-based devices. Tobii offers compact platforms, USB devices, and services that ensure lasting integrations and drive innovation. These integrations are deployed in various electronic devices, from gaming laptops and medical and assistive technology to virtual reality headsets and smart glasses. Tobii offers a comprehensive range of integration solutions including screen-based platforms, XR platforms, and Lens Technology, combining software, hardware, and IP components.
The segment provides advanced interior sensing solutions, including driver and occupant monitoring systems (DMS and OMS) to automotive original manufacturers (OEM). The solutions are integrated into vehicle models via Tier 1 suppliers or directly by Tobii and deployed in both commercial and passenger vehicles. The segment has design wins with several renowned OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers.

Deferred consideration refers to future payments where the payment is not contingent to future financial or operational targets.
Tobii classifies financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in a hierarchy based on the information used in the valuation of each asset or liability. For level 3 financial instruments, information material to the fair value assessment is not observable and Tobii's own assessments are applied. Contingent considerations are classified under level 3.

Other than the contingent considerations, Tobii has no financial instruments that are measured at fair value through profit or loss.
Impairment testing for goodwill was carried out at the end of the 2024 financial year, without any need for impairment being identified.
As of March 31, 2025, Tobii has pledged corporate mortgages of SEK 100 (100) million referring to the revolving credit facility and SEK 300 (300) million referring to the promissory note from Xperi Inc. (from the acquisition of FotoNation Ltd.).
Tobii's business risks include the economic climate, the competitive situation, currency risks, credit risks in relation to customers, financing risks, the risk of impairment of capitalized R&D and other intangible assets, and regulatory risks. Tobii's risks and risk management are described in greater detail in the risk section on pages 33-36 and note 3 in the 2024 Annual and Sustainability Report. Tobii is of the opinion that this risk description remains correct.
Additionally, Tobii's Board of Directors and Management have identified an increased risk related to liquidity and financing of the company's operations due to lower net sales. To address this, Tobii is closely monitoring its cash situation and has implemented a cost reduction program to lower operational expenses. Furthermore, following a strategic review of its product portfolio, the company is in the process of divesting selected assets to strengthen its cash position.
Tobii's operations and net sales is characterized by variations between quarters. The seasonal patterns are different for the segments Product & Solutions and Integrations and there are also regional variations. The fourth quarter is normally the strongest quarter in terms of net sales and profits as the budget year closes in most of Tobii's geographic markets.
The average number of full-time employees (FTEs), excluding consultants, was 521 (686) during the period January–March 2025. The decrease was related to the cost reduction program that was launched during the second quarter of 2024.
Åsa Wirén will assume the role of interim CFO and member of the executive management team. As previously communicated, Magdalena Rodell will formally hand over her role to Åsa at the end of May 2025. Åsa started her assignment on April 1, 2025.
