The quarter's historically high turnover of SEK 176 million and operating profit of SEK 38 million were driven by higher order values and a larger software order. Our strong brand and deep technical expertise are increasingly cited as the reason for choosing us as a partner. We have achieved an important milestone in standardizing future secure 5G networks, and we are securing more contracts with customers who wish to integrate our Zyntai product into their network expansions.
Strong demand for our products confirms our marketleading position. We take pride in being part of summer games, the world's largest sporting event, this summer. Our dedicated teams will be on-site to support the games and assist many of our customers attending the event. Our recognition as the obvious partner in events, where nothing can go wrong, demonstrates our strong market position.
Maintaining our leading position requires more than superior technology. Customers often start with a hardware purchase and continue with ongoing expansions, software upgrades, and continuous license and support agreements. This benefits us, as long-term profitability demands a close customer relationship. We have customers who have grown with us for over ten years, and in competitive evaluations, we generally win.
Zyntai, which was commercially launched earlier this year, is generating significant interest, and we are in ongoing discussions with potential customers who want to conduct Proof of Concepts (POCs) in their own networks. Several POCs have been completed and converted into contracts, bringing us close to a doubledigit number of commercial customers. Time synchronization is a critical function in the network, and potential customers conduct thorough evaluations and tests in various stages, often resulting in longer sales cycles. The benefit is that we become an integrated part of the customer's network solution, growing with them during network expansion and upgrades, while generating ongoing license and support revenue.
The importance of standardized products is often emphasized by mobile operators, which is why it was a significant milestone when the ITU (the UN agency for the coordinated operation of global telecommunication networks and services) decided to include our technology as a new 'work item' within the ITU's standardization group for time synchronization. During the quarter, we worked on several documents, with the first ones being approved at the ITU meeting in Montreal in early July.
The initial synchronization agreement with Türk Telekom was signed in 2021. The collaboration has proceeded according to plan. However, the severe
earthquake in Turkey has impacted Türk Telekom, forcing them to restore their networks. Turkey's full 5G licenses are expected to be issued around the turn of the year. This implies that there is a risk the final delivery may occur in 2027 instead of 2026 as previously communicated.
The order book was approximately SEK 190 million at the end of the quarter.
In summary, the quarter confirms our progress. Revenue amounted to SEK 176 million, marking an increase of 39.5% compared to the previous year. The software order of approximately SEK 30 million delivered in June contributed to the company's highest revenue and profit to date. The order is an upgrade and expansion of the base licenses in the customer's Nimbra network. This demonstrates the customer's strong trust in us and our products. The software order contributed to the high revenue and strong profit, but even without it, we achieved a growth of 15.5% and a results consistent with previous quarters. The agreement was executed based on our standard margins and also generates recurring license revenues.
As we leave the first half of 2024 behind us, we can note that the media business is growing steadily and profitably. Our time synchronization solution is approaching double-digit commercial customers, providing the foundation for a growth phase with long and profitable customer relationships.
Our financial goals for 2023-2027, which include an average annual organic growth exceeding 15% and an operating margin reaching 20% during the period, remain unchanged. We eagerly anticipate the fall and are prepared to work on new business and opportunities. With our strong brand and extensive expertise, we are well-equipped to take advantage of future business opportunities and secure interesting deals.

Solna, June 18, 2024

Net sales in the second quarter of 2024 were SEK 176.1 (126.3) million, an increase of 39.5% year-on-year. Adjusted for currency effects, in comparable currencies, net sales increased by 39.6%.
The turnover in the second quarter is the highest in the company's history. During the quarter, Net Insight received an order from one of the company's largest media customers in the US regarding the purchase of software licenses. The order value amounted to SEK 29.8 million and was recognized as revenue in its entirety during the quarter. The basis for the deal is an upgrade and extension of basic licenses in the customer's Nimbra-net. The deal is completed with our standard margin and also includes current license income. Excluding this software order, growth in the quarter amounted to 15.5%.
Revenues from time synchronization for 5G and critical networks amounted to SEK 9.0 million in the quarter, compared to SEK 8.9 million the previous year. This year's revenue was primarily attributable to the pre-launch of the time synchronization product Zyntai, while the previous year's revenue was primarily attributable to the NRE (non-recurring engineering) fee linked to the development of this product.
Net sales in the six-month period of 2024 amounted to SEK 318.6 (252.9) million, an increase of 26.0% year-on-year. Adjusted for currency effects, in comparable currencies, net sales increased by 25.5%.
The long uninterrupted growth trend (15th consecutive quarter of growth) is a result of the investments made in product development and competence over the past few years, strengthening our offering and resulting in both new customers and expanded business with existing ones.
Revenues from time synchronization for 5G and critical networks amounted to SEK 19.1 million in the six-month period, compared to SEK 17.4 million the previous year. The orderbook for the time synchronization offer at the end of the period amounted to approximately SEK 190 million, which is in line with the previous quarter.
The company is not driven by clear seasonal variations, but there are some fluctuations between quarters driven by the size of the deals and varying product mix. to the concentration of larger deals in certain quarters.
Gross profit for the second quarter amounted to SEK 114.6 (78.4) million, an increase of 46.1%, primarily driven by increased revenues and a favorable product mix with a high proportion of software. Gross profit included amortization of capitalized development expenditure of SEK -16.3 (-14.4) million. Gross margin, excluding and including, amortization of capitalized development expenditure was 74.3% (73.5%) and 65.1% (62.1%) respectively. The higher gross margin compared to the previous year is attributable to an effect of scale, as part of the costs are fixed.
Operating expenses in the second quarter amounted to SEK -78.4 (-67.6) million, an increase of 16.0% year-on-year. The increase is attributable to a strengthening of the organization (primarily in time synchronization) as well as costs related to the increased sales.
Sales and marketing expenses were SEK -47.8(-38.5) million, where the increase was primarily driven by the strengthening of the organization in time synchronization as well as investments in cloud and IP expertise. Customer and market activities have been higher during the period compared to the corresponding period last year. At the same time, the increased sales correlate with increased variable compensation. Administration expenses were SEK -17.8 (-16.2) million, where the increase is primarily attributable to strengthened organization. Development expenses were SEK -12.7 (-12.9) million and total development expenditures, i.e. before capitalizations, amounted to SEK -36.5 million (-38.2). The decrease in total development expenditures is attributable to lower expenses following the move in the first quarter of the year, where certain development in Camarillo, California, was moved to Stockholm.
Other operating income and expenses were SEK 2.1 (-1.0) million, of which currency exchange rate differences account for SEK 2.1 (-1.7) million.

Target follow-up
• An organic average annual growth of at least 15% • An operating margin (EBIT%) that within the period will reach 20%
Operating earnings amounted to SEK 38.3 (9.9) million, corresponding to an operating margin of 21.8% (7.8%). Excluding exchange rate differences of SEK 2.1 (-1.7) million, operating earnings were SEK 36.2 (11.6) million, corresponding to an operation margin of 20.6% (9.2%). For more information, see the table "Material profit and loss items" on page 20.
EBITDA and EBITDAC (EBITDA including reversal of capitalization of development expenditures) amounted to SEK 58.8 (28.5) million and SEK 35.1 (3.2) million, respectively, corresponding to an EBITDA margin of 33.4% (22.6%) and an EBITDAC margin of 19.9% (2.5%). The increased sales have had a positive effect on EBITDAC, while increased investments in time synchronization development and sales organization, combined with costs related to the increased sales, have had a negative effect on EBITDAC. The capitalization of development expenditures decreased by SEK 1.7 million from SEK -25.4 million to SEK -23.7 million compared to the corresponding period last year. The reported operating profit increased by SEK 28.5 million from SEK 9.9 million in the second quarter of 2023 to SEK 38.3 million, the highest in history of the company. Although the abovementioned software order of SEK 30 million has had a major impact on profitability in the quarter, as it both has a high margin and brings economies of scale, profitability excluding this order has improved compared to the previous year.
In the second quarter, net financial items amounted to SEK 0.3 (4.4) million, of which foreign exchange rate differences of SEK -2.9 (2.6) million and net interest income of SEK 2.1 (1.8) million.
Profit before tax was SEK 38.6 (14.3) million, and net income was SEK 30.4 (10.9) million, corresponding to a net margin of 17.3% (8.6%).
Gross profit for the first six-month period amounted to SEK 200.1 (153.2) million, an increase of 30.6%, primarily driven by increased revenues. Gross profit included amortization of capitalized development expenditure of SEK -28.1 (-27.8) million. Gross margin, excluding and including, amortization of capitalized development expenditure was 71.6% (71.6%) and 62.8% (60.6%) respectively. The gross margin is affected by product mix and economies of scale, as part of the costs are fixed. During the first quarter of 2024, several new customers made their initial investments in infrastructure, i.e. primarily hardware, which resulted in a lower gross margin. During the second quarter, a customer made a large software investment to be used on Net Insight hardware delivered in previous quarters, see above, which contributed to higher gross margin. See also the description of the business model in the Annual Report for 2023 page 21.
Operating expenses in the six-month period amounted to SEK -150.6 (-129.4) million, an increase of 16.4% year-on-year. The increase is attributable to a strengthening of the organization (primarily in time synchronization) as well as costs related to the increased sales.
Sales and marketing expenses were SEK -89.2 (-74.0) million, where the increase was primarily driven by the strengthening of the organization for time synchronization as well as investments in cloud and IP expertise. The high sales has also led to increased variable remuneration at the same time as customer and market activities have been higher this year than in the previous year. Administration expenses were SEK -35.2 (-31.3) million. The increase is mainly driven by personnel-related factors, such as strengthening of the organization and revaluations of certain personnel-related provisions, as well as partly by certain operational improvement and efficiency projects. Development expenses were SEK -26.2 (-24.1) million. The first quarter was affected by restructuring costs affecting comparability of SEK -2.5 million relating to move of certain development from Camarillo in California to Stockholm, which then had a positive effect on the second quarter. Total development expenditures, i.e. before capitalizations, amounted to SEK-78.6 (-74.2) million, where the increase is attributable to component purchases during the first quarter.
Other operating income and expenses were SEK -0.6 (-2.0) million, of which currency exchange rate differences account for SEK -0.6 (-3.0) million.
Operating earnings amounted to SEK 48.9 (21.9) million, corresponding to an operating margin of 15.4% (8.7%). Excluding items affecting comparability of SEK -2.5 (0.6) million and exchange rate differences of SEK -0.6 (-3.0) million, operating earnings were SEK 52.0 (24.3) million, corresponding to an operation margin of 16.3% (9.6%). For more information, see the table "Material profit and loss items" on page 20.
EBITDA and EBITDAC (EBITDA including reversal of capitalization of development expenditures) amounted to SEK 85.3 (58.1) million and SEK 32.9 (8.1) million, respectively, corresponding to an EBITDA margin of 26.8% (23.0%) and an EBITDAC margin of 10.3% (3.2%). The increased sales have had a positive effect on EBITDAC, while increased
investments in time synchronization development and sales organization, combined with costs related to the increased sales, have had a negative effect on EBITDAC. The capitalization of development expenditures increased by SEK -2.3 million from SEK -50.1 million to SEK -52.4 million compared to the corresponding period last year. The reported operating profit increased by SEK 27.1 million from SEK 21.9 million in the first six-month period of 2023 to SEK 48.9 million. Although the above-mentioned software order of SEK 30 million has had a major impact on profitability in the quarter, as it both has a high margin and brings economies of scale, profitability excluding this order has improved compared to the previous year.
In the first six-month period, net financial items amounted to SEK 7.7 (5.9) million, of which foreign exchange rate differences of SEK 2.4 (2.6) million and net interest income of SEK 4.2 (3.3) million.

The investments in the second quarter were SEK 24.6 (25.6) million, of which SEK 23.7 (25.4) million were related to capitalization of expenditure for development. During the six-month period, the investments were SEK 54.1 (51.7) million, of which SEK 52.4 (50.1) million were related to capitalization of expenditure for development.
Depreciation and amortization in the second quarter amounted to SEK -20.5 (-18.7) million, of which SEK -16.3 (-14.4) million related to amortization of capitalized expenditure for development. During the six-month period, depreciation and amortization amounted to SEK -36.3 (-36.3) million, of which SEK -28.1 (-27.8) million related to amortization of capitalized expenditure for development
Changes in capitalized development expenditure and amortization are driven by the level of activity in development projects in combination with the timing of launches of fully developed products.
Net value of capitalized expenditure for development was SEK 260.8 million at end of the period, against SEK 236.5 million as of December 31, 2023.
Cash flow from operating activities in the second quarter amounted to SEK 16.3 (20.1) million. The positive impact the improved earnings have on the cash flow has been counteracted by the increased working capital tie-up that the increased sales led to with the high invoicing at the end of the quarter.
The total cash flow for the second quarter amounted to SEK -16.1 (-12.4). Excluding the cash impact from share-related transactions, the cash flow for the second quarter was SEK -11.0 (-8.0) million. For more information, see pages 12 and 20.
Cash flow from operating activities in the first six-month period amounted to SEK 41.8 (27.3) million. The improvement is attributable to the improved earnings. The increased working capital tie-up that the increased sales led to has been partially offset by reduced tie-up in inventory and liabilities. As the company has been profitable for some time, the tax loss carryforwards accumulated during previous years has been utilized, resulting in income tax payments affecting the cash flow by SEK -12.5 million compared to the previous year.
The total cash flow for the first six-month period amounted to SEK -31.2 (-42.2). Excluding the cash impact from share-related transactions, the cash flow was SEK -17.9 (-29.4) million. For more information, see pages 12 and 20.
Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period was SEK 235.6 million, compared to SEK 266.4 million as of 31 December 2023.
Equity at the end of the period was SEK 654.1 million, compared to SEK 622.2 million as of 31 December 2023. The equity/assets ratio was 74.0%, compared to 74.2% as of 31 December 2023. The increase in equity falls short of the result primarily driven by the buyback of own shares. For additional information, see the section "Contributed equity" on page 12.
The average number of employees and consultants at Net Insight during the second quarter and the six-month period was 200 (191) and 199 (185), respectively, of which 170 (154) and 168 (152), respectively, in the Parent Company Net Insight AB (publ.). The increase is primarily attributable to the investment in time synchronization organization.
Net sales for the Parent Company amounted to SEK 176.1 (126.3) million in the second quarter, and net income to SEK 29.7 (10.3) million. Intra-group sales were SEK 0.0 (0.0) million during the quarter, and intra-group purchases were SEK -20.4 (-21.1) million.
Net sales for the Parent Company amounted to SEK 318.6 (252.9) million in the first sixmonth period, and net income to SEK 42.8 (20.0) million. In the first six-month period, intragroup sales were SEK 0.0 (0.0) million, and intra-group purchases were SEK -47.2 (-40.9) million.
Development of the Parent Company for the year and its financial position essentially followed hat of the Group as presented above.
Net Insight's operations and results of operations are affected by a number of external and internal factors. There is a continuous process to identify risks, and to assess how each such risk should be mitigated.
The primary risks to which the company is exposed include market-related risks (including but not limited to competition, technological developments, and political risks), operational risks (including product liability, intellectual property, disputes, customer dependence, and contractual risks), as well as financial and sustainability-related risks.
The component shortage that arose in connection with the pandemic was partly mitigated during 2023. However, the war in Ukraine and the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict have resulted in longer lead times, increased shipping costs and generally increased uncertainty. The company's direct exposure to these markets is very limited, and compliance with the current sanctions is therefore deemed not to have any material impact on the company's operations, assets or earnings. However, it is currently difficult to assess the potential future impact of the conflicts on the availability and prices of components.
Apart from this, there are no significant risks and uncertainties beyond those described in the 2023 annual report.
The risks and uncertainties are essentially the same for the Parent Company and the Group as a whole.
For a comprehensive review of the company's risk and sensitivity analysis, and its risk management process, see pages 54-56, 58-60 and 76-77 of the Annual Report for 2023.

This Interim Report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and applicable regulations of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The Interim Report of the parent company complies with chapter 9 of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, Interim Financial Reporting, and RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities.
Disclosures in accordance with IAS 34 are presented in the interim financial statements and the associated notes as well as elsewhere in the interim financial report. There are no new or amended International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in 2024 that have had a material impact on the Company's financial reporting.
The Group and the Parent Company have applied the same accounting principles and calculation methods as in the latest annual report. A description of these accounting principles can be found in the Annual Report for 2023.
The preparation of the Interim Report requires management to make assessments and make assumptions that affect the company's earnings and position as well as the information provided. Estimates and assessments are continuously evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. For a description of estimates and assumptions, please refer to the Annual Report for 2023.
Figures in parentheses in this report refer to comparison with the corresponding period or date in the previous year, unless stated otherwise. Discrepancies due to rounding may occur in this report.
The group reported tax of total SEK -8.2 (-3.4) million for the period April-June 2024, corresponding to an effective tax rate of 21.2 (23.9) percent. The group reported tax of total SEK -12.1 (-6.4) million for the period January–June 2024, corresponding to an effective tax rate of 21.2 (23.1) percent. The effective tax rate is affected by tax adjustments and the relative effects of foreign tax rates.
The share buyback program, decided by the Board with the support of the mandate from the 2023 AGM, was active from July 2023 to
February 2024. Within the program, the Parent company repurchased a total of 10,693,000 of its own Class B shares on Nasdaq Stockholm for SEK 50.1 million, including transaction costs, of which 1,425,000 shares were acquired for SEK 8.2 million during the period January-February 2024.
The 2024 AGM resolved to authorize the board of directors to resolve to repurchase, on one or several occasions until the next AGM, as many own shares as may be purchased without the company's holding at any time exceeding ten per cent of the total number of shares in the company. Further, the AGM resolved to authorize the board of directors to resolve on one or several occasions until the next annual general meeting, to transfer (sell) own shares.
At the Board meeting in May 2024, the board of Directors of Net Insight AB decided to utilize the repurchase mandate given at the AGM in 2024. The repurchase program commenced on June 3, 2024, and will last until the next AGM and will amount to maximum SEK 50 million.
During June 2024, the parent company repurchased 940,000 of its own B shares on Nasdaq Stockholm for SEK 5.1 million, including transaction costs.
At the end of the period, the Parent Company held a total of 11,735,000 of its own Class B shares, at an average acquisition cost of SEK 4.76 per share with a par value of SEK 0.04 per share. The shares are held as treasury/own shares. The parent company has the right to reissue these shares at a later date.
The 2024 AGM resolved that the company's share capital shall be reduced by SEK 431,800 for allocation to unrestricted equity through cancellation of 10,795,000 own B shares held by the company. The matter is pending with the Swedish Companies Registration Office.
The Company has two active warrant programs (LTI 2022 in series 1 and 2) with a total of 1,805,000 warrants. When calculating earnings per share, a dilution effect arises when the average price for the period exceeds the exercise price for the warrants. For more information about the programs and the accounting principles, see Note 7 on pages 84-85 in the 2023 Annual Report.
All shares issued by the parent company were fully paid.
