Tobii Dynavox Annual Report 2023 was published on April 8, 2024.
Our robust revenue growth sustains. We continue to invest in our marketing and sales capabilities along with investments to improve scalability. The overarching aim is to maintain a high growth rate and gradually raise the margin in line with our long-term target. The limited awareness of communication aids among prescribers and potential users presents a huge opportunity for us to expand our business over the long term and thereby make a difference to a growing share of individuals diagnosed with communication challenges each year.
Sales growth was 28 percent compared to the same period last year. We continue to see solid growth across all geographies and users groups while users who need symbol-based communication and our software TD Snap, often children or young people with autism diagnoses, show a stronger growth trend than other diagnoses.
We continue to invest in further increasing the scalability of our operations, and we are confident that growth and economies of scale will gradually raise the EBIT margin toward our long-term goal of achieving and exceeding 15 percent on an annual basis. In the quarter, our operating profit and earnings per share rose about 50% compared to the same period last year. Continued rising demand and high and stable gross margins are the foundations of continued margin expansion. The investments in new systems and resources, which in many cases are transitory in nature over 1-2 years are substantial, hence the underlying profitability is somewhat stronger than indicated by current results. As we continue to invest in our marketing and sales organization, we expect that total operating expenses will rise at a slower pace than revenue moving forward. The EBIT margin will increase as a result.
Product shipments continue to run efficiently through our three established delivery centers in Asia, Europe, and the US. Through them we cover the 65 countries where we sell either directly or through reseller partners. The availability of components remains solid, while we continue to maintain ample buffers to secure our ability to deliver to customers.
Acquisitions are an important part of our growth ambitions. Business logic and synergies are key when we evaluate potential candidates. The integration of last fall's acquisition, our long-term German supplier, Rehadapt, has been successful. The company both complements our offering and strengthens our market position in Germany.
There are a number of factors driving our growth and increasing profitability. The synergy of our robust product offering and committed employees, coupled with a market in its early phases with minimal penetration, points to high long-term potential. The majority of people who need communication aids do not know or are never presented with the solutions that we and our industry peers offer. In light of the low market penetration and our strong position, I remain confident about the coming year and the longer term.

Group revenue increased 28% to SEK 428 million (335) compared to first quarter 2023. The currency adjusted growth was 28%, organic sales grew by 21%. As in previous quarters, growth was robust across all markets, as well as in all product and user groups. Currency fluctuations had no impact on revenue, while acquisitions contributed 7%.
Consolidated gross profit amounted to SEK 289 million (223), corresponding to a gross margin of 68% (66). The margin benefited primarily from economies of scale through increased sales, as well as from price adjustments implemented last year. Higher purchase prices also had some negative impact on the margin.
Operating profit totaled SEK 32 million (21) and the operating margin was 7.6% (6.3).
Operating expenses grew organically by 26%. The increase was affected by factors such as significant investments in staff in the sales and marketing organization, as well as new agreements on salaries and benefits that came into force on April 1, 2023. The cost of the long-term incentive programs was affected by the price increase of the Tobii Dynavox share during the quarter, resulting in an increase of approximately SEK 7 million. Investments in systems and tools to manage a growing business also contributed about SEK 3 million to the cost increase. Operating expenses were affected by non-recurring costs of approximately SEK 3 million mainly related to restructuring costs and M&A activities.
Costs for research and development after capitalizations and amortizations increased by 5 MSEK compared with the corresponding quarter last year.
Financial items amounted to SEK -17 million (-9) and mainly consisted of interest on external loans. Profit before tax was SEK 16 million (12).
Tax for the quarter amounted to SEK -5 (-5) million, of which SEK 2 (-0) million related to deferred tax.
Profit for the period was SEK 11 million (7). Basic and diluted earnings per share were SEK 0.10 (0.07).
The exchange rates had almost no impact on revenue or operating profit compared with the corresponding quarter last year.
Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital amounted to SEK 67 million (44). Change in working capital amounted to SEK -18 million (-0).
Cash flow from investing activities amounted to SEK -39 million (-26), of which SEK -28 million (-18) was capitalization of R&D costs. During the quarter, an amortization of the credit facility of SEK 43 million was made. Cash flow for the period was SEK -40 million (-7).
At the end of the quarter, the Group had cash and cash equivalents of SEK 127 million (99). Consolidated net debt totaled SEK 603 million (505), including SEK 98 million (55) in IFRS 16 finance leases. Net debt in relation to the last twelve months EBITDA was 1.8.
The original SEK 800 million refinancing agreement with Swedbank was entered into in October 2022 and has a term of three years with an option to extend for a further two years. The total utilized part of the credit facility and term loan was SEK 635 million at the end of the period.
The number of employees converted to full-time equivalents at the period end was 722 (582).

On September 7, 2023, Tobii Dynavox completed the acquisition of all shares in the German company Rehadapt Engineering. After entering the agreement on 30 June 2023, the purchase price has been adjusted to EUR 16.6 million on a cash and debt free basis. The payment for the acquisition was made in two instalments. Additionally, a potential earn-out consideration of up to EUR 3.5 million 12 months after closing of the transaction will be paid depending on the continued financial development of Rehadapt.
Rehadapt is a provider of medically certified mounting solutions for assistive technology, including out-of-the-box and flexible solutions to support individual communication, independent mobility kits and customized accessories. Based on over 20 years of expertise and innovative development, Rehadapt has created a well-respected brand and a valuable asset base in the field of mounting solutions. Rehadapt's products are currently sold together with Tobii Dynavox's products as well as by many other companies in assistive communication. Rehadapt has approximately 55 employees and is headquartered in Kassel, Germany with a local subsidiary and distribution center in the United States. Rehadapt's turnover in 2022 was approximately EUR 10 million with an adjusted EBIT margin of approximately 20%. The seller, Rehadapt's CEO Uli Ehlert, will remain with Rehadapt for a period of at least one year.
Rehadapt was included in the Group's accounts from September 1, 2023.
As a result of this acquisition, Tobii Dynavox expects to both strengthen its product offering and come closer to users in the countries where the acquisition is active, with the hope of giving more people a voice. Tobii Dynavox also expects to reduce costs through synergies.
The following table summarize the purchase consideration paid and the preliminary fair value of assets acquired, and liabilities assumed for the acquisition of Rehadapt Engineering.
