Management Report

The Group's unaudited consolidated net turnover in the third quarter (Q3) of the financial year 2020/2021 was EUR 5.9 million, which is an increase of 30% compared to the third quarter of the financial year 2019/2020.

The turnover in North and Latin Americas was 65% or EUR 3.84 million. Compared to the turnover in the same quarter of the previous financial year, the turnover increased by 30% as a result of successful sales project transactions in the previous quarters.

The turnover in Europe and CIS countries amounts to 30% or EUR 1.75 million, which is 55% more than in the third quarter of the previous financial year. The turnover of the AMEA (Asia, Middle East, Africa) region decreased by 31% compared to the corresponding quarter of the last financial year, and makes up 5% or EUR 302 thousand.

In the third quarter of the financial year, special attention was paid to the creation and expansion of digital content through webinars and other digital media. Aranet4 – the indoor air quality sensor of the Aranet product line – is still experiencing growth, and the demand exceeds earlier forecasts. Moreover, the Aranet product line has been expanded with new sensors. The Spectrum Compact product family introduced a spectrum analyzer that supports the frequency range from 6 to 20 GHz, which makes it possible to cover the most popular point-to-point radio frequency bands with a single device.

Comparative charts of Q3 sales volumes by regions:

In the reporting quarter, the Group's products were sold in 55 countries.

The Group's unaudited consolidated turnover for the 9-month period of the financial year 2020/2021 was EUR 17.31 million, which is 31% more than the amount of revenue in the previous financial year.

During the 9-month period, revenues in North and Latin Americas represented 67% of the total Group's turnover and amounted to EUR 11.63 million, which is a 48% increase over the 9 months of the previous financial year. Revenue from the European and CIS countries represented 25% of the total turnover, having increased by 8% against 9 months of the previous year and amounted to EUR 4.29 million. Revenue from the AMEA (Asia, Middle East, Africa) region remained at the same level as the previous year and is EUR 1.38 million, thus making 8% of the Group's total turnover.

Comparative charts of 9-month sales volumes by regions:

The Group's expenditures did not exceed the planned volumes, but 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 ended the third quarter of the financial year 2020/2021 with a profit of EUR 967 thousand (unaudited). The result of the Q3 of the previous year was profit of EUR 158 thousand. During the reporting period, the performance was also positively affected by changes in the USD/EUR exchange rate.

The unaudited consolidated result for the 9-month period of the financial year 2020/2021 is profit of EUR 2.11 million. The Group's profit for the 9 months of the previous financial year 2019/2020 was EUR 610 thousand.

The Group's net cash flow for the 9-month period of the financial year was positive – EUR 1.48 million. In December 2020, a dividend of EUR 0.21 (twenty-one cents) per share was paid, or a total of EUR 624 thousand. The Group's net cash balance was EUR 6.5 million at the end of the period. In the third quarter of the financial year 2020/2021, EUR 109 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. While market players and customers are still learning to cope with the global COVID-19 pandemic, there are still project lags caused by various restrictions. 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 diversify SAF Tehnika 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. During the pandemic, the manufacturing facility of SAF Tehnika continued to operate 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), as well as all employees are provided with face masks and shields, disinfectants, frequent cleaning and ventilation of premises.

The Group's operations are also affected by the global shortage of various electronic components. By regularly reviewing delivery volumes and deadlines, the company 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 March 31, 2021, the Group had 222 employees (206 employees as of March 31, 2020).
