Management Report

The Group's unaudited consolidated net turnover for the first quarter (Q1) of the financial year 2022/2023 was EUR 11.4 million, which is an increase of 46 % compared to the first quarter of the financial year 2021/2022.

The turnover of the region of the countries of North and Latin America amounted to 69%, or EUR 8.8 million. Compared to the same quarter turnover last financial year, the turnover increased by 58%.

The turnover of the region of Europe and the CIS countries is 18%, or EUR 2 million, which is 1% less than in the 1st quarter of the previous financial year. Compared to the corresponding quarter of the last financial year, the turnover of Asia, Africa and the Middle East region doubled and accounts for 14% of the total quarterly turnover (or EUR 1.6 million).

In the first quarter of the financial year 2022/2023, in order to strengthen its position in the international market and promote brand and product recognition, SAF Tehnika participated in 6 international exhibitions, covering industries of different scale in the USA and Europe. Exhibitions such as Cultivate (USA), EMV (Germany) and APCO International (USA) are considered the most important shows for business development. At the same time, great emphasis was placed on digital marketing activities and e-commerce, promoting both brand awareness and increasing sales figures.

The company's brand and product line Aranet continues to play a priority role in business development, shifting its share to several business segments, including agriculture, building management, public sector, but among indoor air quality sensors, Aranet4 is always in the most significant demand. The recognition of this product continues to grow and play a significant role both in terms of marketing and sales, and constant work is underway to inform the public about the importance of the product.

In the vertical of microwave products, active work is underway to promote new PhoeniX G2+ and Integra-E2 products to the market and strengthen their positions. This happens both during trade shows and during individual meetings with customers. Since the beginning of the financial year, several projects have been implemented, where both of these products are installed, as well as negotiations are already underway to improve the existing services of customers with one of these two very successful and competitive products. It is a long-term effort, in close cooperation with each client individually.

Comparative charts of Q1 sales volumes by regions:

In the reporting quarter, the Group's products were sold in 62 countries.

The Group's expenditures did not exceed the planned volumes and were generally higher than in the same period a year earlier, which is due to the increase in the number of employees, investment in sales promotion in existing and new market segments. The Group continues to invest in the development of new products and modification of existing products.

The Group completed the 1st quarter of the financial year 2022/2023 with a profit of EUR 2.56 million (unaudited). The result of the first quarter of the previous year was profit of EUR 1.52 million.

The Group's net cash flow for the financial year is EUR 344 thousand. The Group's net cash balance at the end of the period was EUR 3.12 million.

To ensure liquidity, in the 1st quarter of the financial year 2022/2023, the parent company entered into a Credit Line Agreement with Luminor Bank AS for the total amount of EUR 4 950 000. The credit line was not used in the reporting quarter.

In the 1st quarter of the financial year 2022/2023, EUR 165 thousand were invested in the acquisition of fixed assets.

Market Overview

There has been no rapid change in the microwave radio market over the last quarter. We believe that significant changes in the microwave radio market are not expected in the near term, but, in the longer term, there may be certain customer segments that could reconsider investment volumes in network construction. SAF regularly works with all clients to identify and minimize risks in a timely manner, as well as works with IoT segment solutions in order to continue the development and diversify SAF Tehnika's product offering. The Group does not have significant customers and suppliers in the region involved in military operations (Russia, Ukraine or Belarus), so there is no direct impact on the volume of orders.

There is still an increase in demand for radio links that provide increased data transfer rates.

Guidelines

SAF Tehnika is a company with long-accumulated experience and knowledge in the development and production of microwave links. After the pandemic, the group continues to follow the epidemiological rules in the home country, ensuring compliance with the relevant norms. During the fourth quarter, the manufacturing facility of SAF Tehnika operated in its normal mode, the company manufactured and shipped its products worldwide. At the manufacturing facility, the work is organized paying special attention to ventilation and air quality.

Since the outbreak of hostilities in Ukraine by Russia, the overall uncertainty of the business environment has increased. Although its direct impact on the Group's activities is relatively limited, the Group carefully assesses possible cost growth forecasts and potential risks. The Group's operations are affected by the global shortage of various electronic components. Supply chains remain difficult – alternative transportation options increase delivery times and costs. The company regularly reviews procurement volumes and deadlines, and continues to accumulate inventory in order to be able to fulfil most of the orders within normal lead times. This applies to all SAF product families – microwave links, Spectrum Compact and Aranet.

The Group continues to study market demand and problematic issues in order to be able to offer the necessary product modifications both on a daily basis and in the context of changing global circumstances. Investment in product development continues.

The goal of the company is to stabilize the turnover level, which ensures a positive net result in the long run. The Board of SAF Tehnika remains cautious and refrains from providing specific sales and performance forecasts.

As of September 30, 2022, the Group had 255 employees (244 employees as of September 30, 2021).
