MSAB started the year with a stable first quarter. Order intake was good and net sales during the quarter amounted to SEK 93 million, which corresponds to a currency-adjusted sales growth of 6 percent.
Despite a larger number of employees at the beginning of 2024, we reduced our operating expenses in the first quarter of 2024. This is a result of increased cost awareness and the implementation of efficiency measures in several areas. At the same time, earnings were affected by non-recurring costs linked to an initiated restructuring of the development organization. During the quarter, we also strengthened our governance and leadership culture. We believe that most of the organizational restructuring costs are now behind us, giving us increased drive to focus on the future. With a stable financial position, we continue our efforts to further improve and modernize our software platforms.
During the quarter, we continued to focus on establishing an even more customer-centric organization. With our newly implemented regional structure, we have streamlined and globalized the sales organization with overall stable growth globally. Within APAC, customer interest in digital forensics increased significantly, which among other things resulted in increased sales of XRY in the region. In April 2023, XRY Pro was launched, and it is evident that more customers are choosing this solution, this was particularly evident in the United States. We also made good progress in Europe by winning, among other things, a strategically important four-year framework agreement with a large Western European country covering all government agencies.

An important area that I addressed earlier is our communication with the capital markets. With new system support for our financial reporting, our intention is to make it easier to follow the company's development. From the second quarter, it will be possible to communicate the initial improvements.
Overall, MSAB has delivered a strong first quarter and maintains a stable financial position. Looking ahead, we still need to strengthen our product offering to meet our customers' needs in terms of technical complexity, large amounts of data and a shift towards cloud-based services. At the same time, this represents important future opportunities for MSAB. I look forward to getting back to you about the positive changes we have initiated.
Stockholm, April 2024
Peter Heuman CEO MSAB
The Group's net sales increased by 6.2 percent to 92.8 (87.4) MSEK during the period. Currency-adjusted growth amounted to 6.1 percent.
APAC demonstrates a clear sales and market development, resulting in more than a doubling of revenues compared to the same period last year. Similarly, Americas shows a notable positive performance in the quarter with nearly a doubling of revenues, primarily driven by strong sales of XRY Pro. The EMEA region delivered slightly lower revenues compared to the same period last year, mainly due to the recognition of a large multi-year agreement during the corresponding period last year. XRY Office continued to drive the majority of revenue growth, with our new product XRY Pro being very well received in the market.
Cost of goods sold amounted to 5.9 (5.2) MSEK. No significant pure hardware sales occurred during the period. Cost of goods sold was partially affected by currency effects and typically varies with the product mix.
Other external expenses amounted to 15.7 (15.2) MSEK. Non-recurring costs during the period amounted to 0.7 MSEK. Other administrative costs continue to decrease compared to the previous year.
Personnel costs amounted to 76.2 (55.1) MSEK. Restructuring costs during the period amounted to 19.1 MSEK. Salary revisions and the hiring of 16 individuals during the previous year are other factors that have influenced the comparison with the previous period.
Depreciation amounted to 3.7 (3.7) MSEK.
The operating profit for the quarter amounted to -8.7 (8.2) MSEK, corresponding to an operating margin of -9.4 (9.3) percent. The operating profit adjusted for non-recurring restructuring costs amounted to 11.0 MSEK, equivalent to an operating margin of 11.9 percent.
The net financial income amounted to 1.5 (0.3) MSEK for the quarter. The net financial income mainly consists of the revaluation of cash and cash equivalents in foreign currency, where USD, EUR, and GBP are the group's primary transaction currencies related to sales, while SEK is the main currency for the Company's costs.
The net profit for the quarter amounted to -7.6 (6.7) MSEK.
The cash flow from operating activities amounted to 18.8 (24.0) MSEK for the period. The decrease compared to the same period last year is partly due to the implementation of a new ERP system, as supplier liabilities have been partially paid off in an earlier stage. Cash flow before changes in working capital amounted to -4.2 (10.3) MSEK, while the change in working capital amounted to 23.0 (13.7) MSEK. Continued cost awareness and efficiency measures contribute to a positive cash flow.
Investments for the period amounted to 0.0 (0.0) MSEK.
On March 31, 2024, the number of employees was 204 (191). The average number of employees during the period was 206 (190).
The Parent Company's net sales for the period amounted to 73.0 (65.1) MSEK. The operating result for the period amounted to -10.7 (6.0) MSEK. The operating result adjusted for non-recurring restructuring costs amounted to 9.0 MSEK, equivalent to an operating margin of 12.3 (9.2) percent.

Total order intake showed good growth in the first quarter of 2024 and sales increased by 6 percent compared to the corresponding period in 2023. Stable growth globally has proven to be the underlying theme for the first quarter of the year.
XRY Pro was launched in April 2023 and shows continued positive sales development with more customers choosing this solution. XRY Pro offers more advanced forensic exploit methods for digital forensics users, indicating that our customers are looking for even more advanced solutions.
MSAB continues to experience a competitive advantage through solid decryption support for a wide range of mobile phones where other vendors have failed to decrypt. The company's ability to offer selective extraction has also gained ground, with a view to supporting the needs of investigations while respecting the privacy of victims and witnesses.
In EMEA, overall sales were slightly lower than expected for the first quarter. However, there are clear signs of continued growth in some countries. MSAB continues to drive sales through new agreements with major law enforcement agencies that renew existing licenses and expand their existing license base. There has also been a rise in interest in the procurement of training courses. In addition, the company has managed to win a significant tender in the form of a four-year framework agreement for a large Western European country covering all government agencies, both domestic and international.
The region experienced good growth in the first quarter. In the USA, for the first time ever, the revenue from XRY Pro has exceeded the revenue from our most popular product to date, XRY. This is an indication that customers are looking for more advanced solutions to handle increasing amounts of data and a more complex technical environment. There are positive signs of growth in the USA State & Local segment with increased sales to both existing and new customers. Canada has also shown strong sales growth in the first quarter, largely due to continued success in the law enforcement and government segments.
Sales in the region were exceptionally strong in the first quarter. There are clear signs of market development in some of the region's maturing markets. Customers realize the true value of digital forensics and the interest in developing their capabilities has increased significantly – this has, among other things, driven sales of MSAB's extraction tool XRY.

This interim report summary for the Group has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and applicable provisions of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The interim report for the Parent Company has been prepared in accordance with Chapter 9 of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, Interim Reports. Disclosures according to IAS 34 are provided both in the notes and in other places throughout the interim report. The accounting principles applied for the group and the Parent Company are consistent with those used in the preparation of the latest annual report. For financial assets and liabilities with short maturities, the amount presented is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
The group is exposed to risks and uncertainties through its operations. These risks and uncertainties are the same for the Parent Company and the group. Freight and raw material prices have affected the Company's costs, and uncertainty regarding both prices and delivery times remains. The Company has been marginally negatively impacted by a shortage of certain components.
Significant risks and uncertainties are described in the 2023 annual report on page 40 and in Note 4 on pages 56-58.
MSAB is not season dependent in the usual sense of the term. However, the majority of the Company's customers follow a buying pattern aligned with their budget cycles. Budget cycles vary between countries, but typically on MSAB's major markets, they align with the calendar year or the end of September. Historically, this has been reflected in sales, with the second half of the year typically stronger than the first half.
Related party transactions consist primarily of intra-Group transactions. The same applies for the Parent Company. These are described in the 2023 Annual Report on page 65, Note 24.
This interim report has not been reviewed by auditors.

MSAB presents certain financial metrics in the interim report that are not defined under IFRS. The Company believes that these metrics provide valuable supplementary information to investors and the Company's management as they allow for evaluation of the Company's performance. Because not all companies calculate financial measures in the same way, these are not always comparable with metrics used by other companies. These financial metrics should therefore not be regarded as replacements for metrics defined in accordance with IFRS. The table below presents the alternative key figures that have been deemed relevant.
The key figures are based on reports on earnings, financial position, change in equity and cash flow. In cases where the key figures cannot be directly derived from the above reports, the derivation and calculation of these are shown below.
| ALTERNATIVE METRICS | DEFINITIONS AND CALCULATIONS |
|---|---|
| Cash flow from operating activities per share |
Cash flow from operating activities in relation to average outstanding shares before/after dilution. |
| Capital employed / Average capital employed |
Capital employed calculated as total assets less non-interest-bearing liabilities. Average capital employed is calculated as capital employed over a 12 month-period. Capital employed at beginning of period plus capital employed at end of period divided by two. |
| Earnings per share * | Profit/loss after tax in relation to average number of outstanding shares before/after dilution. |
| Equity per share | Equity in relation to outstanding shares at the end of the period. |
| Equity ratio % | Equity in relation to total assets. |
| Net financial items | Net of financial income and expenses. |
| Operating margin (EBIT margin) % | EBIT in relation to net sales. |
| Operating profit (EBIT) | Earnings before interest and taxes. |
| Return on capital employed 12 months % |
EBIT plus financial items in relation to average capital employed. |
| Return on equity 12 months % | Profit/loss after tax in relation to average adjusted equity. Equity at the beginning of the peri od plus equity at the end of the period divided by two. |
| Revenue growth % | Net sales current period in relation to same period previous year. |
