Statement by the CEO

LAYING THE FOUNDATION FOR CONTINUED SUSTAINABLE AND PROFITABLE GROWTH

We close the second quarter with continued revenue growth of 13 percent and an operating margin of 32 percent. Furthermore, we have made organizational progress and with the recruitment of Elisabeth Hedman, CFO & Head of IR, and Petter Höglander, CPO, the management team is complete. Our focus is now on increasing growth, and my expectation is that we will see results from the new strategy towards the end of 2024.

REVENUE GROWTH AND INCREASED OPERATING PROFIT

We show continued revenue growth, with net sales of tSEK 65,487 in the second quarter. This is an increase of 3 percent from the first quarter and an increase of 13 percent from the previous year. The growth comes from the increase in the number of subscribers in recent months, but also from the fact that we have managed to grow our existing partnerships. Our operating profit for the quarter amounted to tSEK 20,964 and our operating margin was 32 percent. The higher margin is a result of our focus on cost efficiency and something that enables us to scale up when the opportunity arises. We continue to see that our annual operating margin will be around 25 percent.

A GROWING USER BASE

Our organic customer growth continues to be around 80 percent, which is a strong acknowledgement of the viral impact our product has. We saw an increase in the number of subscribers in the second quarter, from 893,000 to 898,000 subscribers. One year ago, we had 877,000 subscribers. This shows that our focus on the core product has started to produce results. Consumer subscription services generally have a high customer churn rate, but our total user base continues to grow. For me, it shows that we have a product with a strong market relevance.

GROWTH AREAS

Sleep Cycle is not only a personal health app, it is also a source of large volumes of anonymized and aggregated sleep data. We see potential in the amount of anonymized data we have, as well as the technology we own. As part of our strategic initiatives, we have now started to explore that potential. This is an area of our work that will intensify in the second half of the year and something I believe in very much. Another important strategic initiative to achieve the

expected growth is our focus on partnerships. Although the development of these partnerships takes time, I am optimistic about the progress we are making. It is clear that our global presence, our data, and our technology are of interest to the wider world.

NEW ORGANISATION IN PLACE

With the recruitment of Elisabeth Hedman and Petter Höglander, the management team is now complete, and I see that our collective expertise makes us well equipped for Sleep Cycle's next phase. Within our product organization, we have now divided ourselves according to our strategic initiatives and have begun to establish new cross-functional ways of working to ensure our efficiency and better reflect the customer journey. We have a strong team in place to continue our growth journey and as we now enter the third quarter, we have a clear idea of our priorities and what we need to achieve in the periods ahead.

I remain dedicated to driving growth, improving efficiency, and delivering more value to all our stakeholders.

Thank you for your continued support and belief in our vision!

Erik Jivmark, CEO

Product offering

Sleep Cycle is a leader in the development of AI-based sleep analysis. With more than two million users in more than 150 countries, Sleep Cycle is one of the most widely used sleep services in the world.

HEALTH AS BUSINESS MODEL

Our business is based on a subscription-based business model that creates predictability and a strong cash flow through advance payments and recurring revenues. Because we offer an appreciated product built on many years of development, and where customer influx is largely organic, our customer acquisition costs are low, resulting in attractive profitability. Combined with the fact that the cost of each new user is very low, our business is fully scalable.

TECHNOLOGY AND USER EXPERIENCE

AI and machine learning have revolutionized our ability to manage large amounts of data and extract valuable information. The application of advanced algorithms and techniques allows us to extract patterns and contexts that were previously unknown and inaccessible.

Sleep Cycle analyzes audio that, using a database of more than two billion nights, gives users individual insights, advice, and recommendations about their sleep. The fact that the analysis is sound-based also makes it possible to capture

snoring, coughing, tooth grinding, and other sounds that disrupt sleep and can provide additional health insights in a broader perspective.

FUTURE OFFERS

The future of sleep optimization offers expansive opportunities in both product development and accessibility of our services on more platforms and in new channels. With a nearly unrivaled volume of sleep data, patented sleep analysis, and a large user base, we are in a very strong position to develop new and innovative services for sleep analysis. Through continuous product development, Sleep Cycle continues to add new features for analysis of sleep, snoring, sleep hygiene, and coaching tools to help our users achieve better health. Future plans also include bringing out functions for optimizing health, sleep and well-being as well as functions to detect clinical sleep problems such as insomnia and sleep apnea.

Strategy

GROWTH THROUGH INNOVATION

Sleep Cycle's driving force is to improve global health by helping people sleep better. Our product – with more than two million users across 150 countries – is a tremendous vehicle for this mission. We've exhibited consistent growth over time, but we're still convinced that there's more untapped potential. Against this backdrop, we have crafted a comprehensive new strategy with a singular focus: increased profitable growth.

STRUCTURAL TRENDS AND PROFITABILITY

Several structural trends are driving growth in the sleeptracking applications market: an intensified consumer emphasis on health, the acknowledgement of sleep's role in overall wellness, consumer empowerment within the health space, and the rise of recurring revenue models through subscriptions. Sleep Cycle's innovative AI audio analysis and powerful platform position us perfectly at the intersection of these movements by satisfying the bolder health and lifestyle aspirations of consumers worldwide.

GEARING UP FOR GROWTH

Our strategy reveals a bold target: doubling revenue in the medium term, while aspiring to an annual EBIT margin in the neighborhood of 25 percent. With a robust core-business foundation and a team replete with expertise, we're confident that our ambitious goals are attainable.

KEY STRATEGIC PILLARS

USER ENGAGEMENT

DATA AND PLATFORM OPTIMIZATION

USER ACQUISITION

With firm roots in organic growth, Sleep Cycle benefits from peer recommendations and natural market interest. We aim to enhance this organic viral growth by increasing visibility and brand presence in earned media outlets. Pushing the envelope, we focus on amplifying PR activities, building the brand, revitalizing partnerships, refining our pricing tactics, and bolstering UX alongside product innovation.

USER ENGAGEMENT

Given our subscription model, retention rates are paramount. Recognizing that engaged users stick around, we're steering towards upping user value through tech and product enhancement – effectively a magnet for user engagement. Our tech evolution and creative feature set aim to polish data precision, heightening user reliance. We're introducing elements such as personalized dashboards and strategic notifications to aid users in forming health-promoting routines ensuring consistently better sleep.

DATA AND PLATFORM OPTIMIZATION

Sleep Cycle is not merely a personal health app; it's a repository for vast volumes of anonymized, collective sleep health data. This positions us to iterate ceaselessly, enhancing the user experience precisely and substantially. Our feature Cough Radar exemplifies our capability to transfer data into user value and accessing new market segments. Our strategy looks to further leverage such data via new monetization avenues and SDK opportunities, ensuring continued growth and innovation.

FINANCIAL OVERVIEW

As all significant operations in the Group are conducted in the Parent Company, the comments below refer to both the Parent Company and the Group. For profit and cash flow, comparative figures refer to the corresponding period for prior year. For financial position, comparative figures refer to the balance sheet item as of December 31, 2023.

SECOND QUARTER APRIL – JUNE 2024

SALES AND EARNINGS

The Group's net sales during the second quarter totaled tSEK 65,442 (57,952), an increase of 12.9% (11.0%) compared with prior year. The increase in turnover is mainly explained by higher ARPU and greater number of subscribers. Currencyadjusted net sales growth amounted to 10.5% (1.1%). Average revenue per subscription (ARPU) increased by 7.2% to SEK 282 (263), where price accounted for SEK 13 of the increase and exchange rate fluctuations SEK 6. The number of paying users totaled 898k (877k). The increase in the number of paying users is explained by continued positive customer acquisition, both organically and from our partnerships.

Operating profit totaled tSEK 20,964 (12,732) and the margin to 32.0% (22.0%) in the second quarter. The improved margin is a result of revenue growth and lower costs after the previous quarter's reorganization.

Cash flow from financing activities in the quarter amounted to tSEK -45,374 (-142,936) related to dividends paid, amortization of lease liabilities and option premiums in 2024. The change is mainly explained by higher dividends in 2023.

CORRECTION OF THE SECOND QUARTER 2023

A review in the fourth quarter of 2023 revealed that Sleep Cycle is liable for VAT in Japan, as this is not handled by Apple and Google, and in Switzerland, as this is not handled by Google in the specific market. The error has been corrected in 2023 by retroactively recalculating all affected items. Net sales for the second quarter of 2023 decreased by tSEK 282. Other operating income increased by tSEK 279.

Note 2 Accounting principles

The consolidated financial statement for Sleep Cycle AB has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU, the Swedish Annual Accounts Act (ÅRL) and the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's RFR 1 "Supplementary

accounting rules for groups". The parent company's financial statements are prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and RFR 2, "Accounting for Legal Entities." This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting." Disclosures in accordance with IAS 34 are provided in notes as well as elsewhere in the interim report. The accounting principles and calculation methods applied are in accordance with those described in the annual report for 2023. New standards and interpretations that came into force on January 1, 2024 have not had any effect on the group's or the parent company's financial reports for the interim period.

Note 3 Segment information

Sleep Cycle's CEO, as the most senior executive decision-maker, monitors and analyses profit and loss and the financial position of the group in its entirety. The CEO does not track results at a level lower than the Group as a whole. The CEO thereby also decides on allocation of resources, and makes strategic decisions based on the Group as a whole. Based on the above analysis, which is itself based on IFRS 8, it is concluded that the Sleep Cycle group consists of a single reporting segment.

DEFINITIONS OF KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS AND CALCULATIONS

Sleep Cycle applies the guidelines for alternative key performance indicators issued by ESMA. This report presents certain financial key performance ratios, including alternative key performance indicators which are not defined under IFRS. The Company considers these key performance indicators an important complement, as they facilitate a better evaluation of the Company's financial trends. These financial indicators should not be assessed independently or considered substitutes for performance indicators calculated in accordance with IFRS. In addition, such key performance indicators, as defined by Sleep Cycle, should not be compared with other key performance indicators with similar names utilized by other companies. This is because the key performance indicators below are not always defined in the same way, and other companies may calculate them differently than Sleep Cycle.
