The turnover in North and Latin Americas was 45% or EUR 4.1 million. Compared to the turnover in the same quarter of the previous financial year, the turnover decreased by 9%.

The turnover in Europe and CIS countries amounts to 45% or EUR 4.1 million, which is 2.5 times more than in the 2nd quarter of the previous financial year. The turnover of the AMEA (Asia, Middle East, Africa) region grew by 37%, compared to the corresponding quarter of the previous financial year, and accounts for 10%, or EUR 932 thousand.

In the second quarter of this financial year, SAF Tehnika actively participated in offline exhibitions and continued its marketing activities on digital platforms. In total, the company took part in 13 trade shows and conferences of various scale, the largest of which were WISPAPALOOZA – US telecommunications exhibition, Smart Buildings Show – UK Building Automation Systems Exhibition, GITEX – Dubai Technology Exhibition, as well as presented Aranet at the Latvian Pavilion at EXPO 2020 Dubai.

In the second quarter, special focus was placed on the competitiveness of brands in the digital environment. In early December, a new e-commerce platform was opened, where all Aranet products are available to customers from both Europe and the United States. In addition, development of the Aranet4 application was carried out to improve its usability.

The indoor air quality sensor of the Aranet product line, Aranet4, is still showing growth and demand exceeds earlier forecasts. We continue to supplement this product line with new products for different industries. The Spectrum Compact vertical, in turn, concluded the transition between spectrum Compact generations: from Spectrum Compact V1 to Spectrum Compact V2.

Comparative charts of Q2 sales volumes by regions:

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

The Group's unaudited consolidated turnover for the 6-month period of the financial year 2021/2022 was EUR 16.97 million, which is 49% more than the amount of revenue in the previous financial year.

During the 6-month period, revenues in North and Latin Americas represented 53% of the total Group's turnover and amounted to EUR 9.01 million, thus demonstrating a 16% increase against the results of the first half of the previous financial year.

Revenue from the AMEA (Asia, Middle East, Africa) region increased by 16% or EUR 641 thousand, thus making 10% of the Group's total turnover.

Comparative charts of 6-month sales volumes by regions:

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 period. In the second quarter of the financial year 2021/2022, EUR 452 thousand were invested in 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. At the same time, the global pandemic stimulates the development of new infrastructure projects. 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.

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. In the context of the global pandemic, the Group follows the epidemiological rules in the home country, ensuring compliance with the relevant norms. The manufacturing facility of SAF Tehnika operates in its normal/rearranged mode, the company manufactured and shipped its products worldwide. At the manufacturing facility, the work is organized in such a way as to minimize physical proximity (by working remotely or rearranging workplaces), paying special attention to ventilation and air quality.

The Group's operations are affected by the global shortage of various electronic components. By regularly reviewing supply volumes and deadlines, the company still continues to accumulate material reserves 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 December 31, 2021, the Group had 258 employees (222 employees as of December 31, 2020).
