Management Report

The Group's unaudited consolidated net turnover for the third quarter of the financial year 2019/2020 was EUR 4.52 million, which is 24% more than in the third quarter of the financial year 2018/2019.

SAF Tehnika also participated in RTU Career Days in Ķīpsala, Riga. During the quarter, the Group created a separate website dedicated to the Spectrum Compact product line: www.spectrumcompact.com

Since the beginning of March, due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, participation in all subsequent events has been canceled.

The Group sold its products to 54 countries during the reporting quarter.

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, due to wage growth, investments to increase sales in existing and new market segments. The Group continues to invest in the development of new products and modification of existing products.

Market Overview

There has been no rapid change in the microwave radio market over the last quarter. However, at the end of the quarter, the World Health Organization announced the global COVID-19 pandemic. We believe that 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 diversify SAF Tehnika product portfolio.

There is still an increase in demand for radio systems that provide enhanced data transfer rates.

Guidelines

SAF Tehnika is the company with long-standing experience and expertise in microwave radio development and production.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, all offices and the manufacturing facility of SAF Tehnika are operating normally, the company manufactures and ships its products worldwide. At the manufacturing facility, the work is organized in such a way as to minimize physical proximity, ensure frequent cleaning and the availability of disinfectants. The company has accumulated enough materials, adjusted supply chains and is able to fulfill 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 sales levels to ensure a positive net result in the long term. The Board of SAF Tehnika retains caution and refrains from making certain predictions regarding future sales volumes and financial results.

The Group employed 206 employees on 31 March 2020 (194 employees – on 31 March 2019).
