Management Report

The Group's unaudited consolidated net turnover in the second quarter (Q2) of the financial year 2020/2021 was EUR 6.7 million, which is an increase of 42% compared to the second quarter of the financial year 2019/2020.

The turnover in North and Latin Americas was 67% or EUR 4.51 million. Compared to the turnover in the same quarter of the previous financial year, the turnover increased by 39%, as a result of successful sales project transactions in the previous quarter and at the end of the last financial year.

The turnover in Europe and CIS countries amounts to 25 % or EUR 1.67 million, which is 52% more than in the second quarter of the previous financial year. The turnover of the AMEA (Asia, Middle East, Africa) region increased by 42% compared to the corresponding quarter of the last financial year, and makes up 8% or EUR 533 thousand.

Also in the second quarter of the financial year, SAF Tehnika did not participate in face-toface (offline) exhibitions and marketing activities, but took part in several digital exhibitions. SAF Tehnika was a Platinum Sponsor at 5G Techritorry – the largest 5G forum in the Baltic Sea Region; Greentech – the virtual edition of the US horticultural technology show; Smart Building show – the virtual exhibition of the building sector.

Special attention was paid to the creation and expansion of digital content through the creation of webinars and other digital content. The indoor air quality sensor Aranet4 of the Aranet product line is still experiencing growth, and the demand exceeds previous forecasts. Also, new products have been added to the Aranet product line.

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 2020/2021 was EUR 11.41 million, which is 31% more than the amount of revenue in the previous financial year.

During the 6-month period, revenues in North and Latin Americas represented 68% of the total Group's turnover and amounted to EUR 7.79 million, thus demonstrating a 59% increase against the results of the first half of the previous financial year. Revenue from the European and CIS countries represented 22% of the total turnover, having decreased by 11% against 6 months of the previous year and amounted to EUR 2.55 million. This is due to the high project share in the 1st quarter of the last financial year. Revenue from the AMEA (Asia, Middle East, Africa) region increased by 14% or EUR 133 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, 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 second quarter of the financial year 2020/2021 with a profit of EUR 766 thousand (unaudited). The result of the Q2 of the previous year was profit of EUR 193 thousand. The decrease in the volume of uncollectible receivables during the reporting period affected the positive operating result. At the same time, the net result was negatively impacted by the USD/EUR exchange rate.

The unaudited consolidated result for the 6-month period of the financial year 2020/2021 is profit of EUR 1.14 million. The Group's profit for the 6 months of the previous financial year 2019/2020 was EUR 451 thousand.

The Group's net cash flow for the 6-month period of the financial year was positive – EUR 922 thousand. The Group's net cash balance was EUR 5.9 million at the end of the period. In the second quarter of the financial year 2020/2021, EUR 166 thousand were invested in acquisition of fixed assets. In December 2020, a dividend of EUR 0.21 (twenty-one cents) per share was paid, or a total of EUR 624 thousand.

Market Overview

There has been no rapid change in the microwave radio market over the last quarter. While market players and customers are learning to cope with the global COVID-19 pandemic, there are still project lags caused by various constraints. 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 was operating normally, 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 company accumulates enough materials, has adjusted the supply chain of materials and is 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 company's goal is to stabilize the turnover level, which provides a positive net result in the long term. The Board of SAF Tehnika remains cautious and refrains from providing specific sales and performance forecasts.

As of December 31, 2020, the Group had 222 employees (201 employees as of December 31, 2019
