CEO statement

Strong start to 2024

Net Insight had a strong start to 2024 by winning several strategic customers, which shows that the efforts we have made to strengthen our product portfolio have been successful. We are well positioned to capture business opportunities in the growth areas created within IP and cloud as the industry transitions to new formats and production methods. The rollout of our new synchronization product, Zyntai, to existing and new customers is on track.

Strengthened market position in media

The first quarter of the year has been largely about realizing opportunities while laying the foundation for future profitable growth. I am delighted to see so many of our existing customers expanding their engagement with us, while we have also welcomed new strategic customers, two of whom are based in APAC region. The choice to partner with Net Insight was made after extensive testing and comparisons with competing products, which is an indication of our strength in this strategically important market. Additionally, we have initiated a collaboration with our partner DMC Production for remote production of the Danish football leagues. The Americas continues to exhibit caution, but we see some positive signals.

Our customers' lifecycle typically starts with an initial hardware installation, which yields a lower margin than the software products delivered as customers upgrade to increase capacity or require new services. In addition, there are support and licensing revenues. The gross margin for this quarter therefore is within the range of fluctuations seen in previous years, varying from quarter to quarter based on the mix of products ordered.

Continued growth

Net Insight continued its journey of growth. The revenue for the quarter amounted to SEK 142.5 million, which is 12.5% higher than that of the same period last year. The reported operating result amounted to SEK 10.6 (12.0) million, while the operating result, adjusted for items affecting comparability and currency differences, amounted to SEK 15.8 (13.3) million.

Product launches

Our focus is to meet the increasing demand for cloud-based services in existing as well as new markets. We recently launched our new cloud product, Nimbra Connect iT, thereby expanding our cloud portfolio where we integrate IP, cloud, and internet to offer customized solutions for media.

At the Mobile World Congress 2024, we conducted a commercial launch of our time synchronization solution Zyntai, which was well received and led to many business-driving customer meetings.

Zyntai has been developed and launched as planned, and during the quarter we have increased deliveries to several of our existing and new customers. Furthermore, we have won a new customer, Three Denmark. Our initiatives

"Growth in a changing media market."

at the end of last year in APAC region, have resulted in several ongoing PoC:s, and we have expanded our presence, particularly in India.

At the end of the quarter, the order book for our time synchronization offering, Zyntai, remained approximately at the same level as at year-end, around SEK 195 million.

I am convinced that our strong start in the year provides a foundation for continued positive development. The investments we have made over the past few years have positioned Net Insight at the forefront of new technology, with a broad offering that is driving our growth today.

REVENUES

January-March

Net sales in the fourth quarter of 2024 were SEK 142.5 (126.6) million, an increase of 12.5%. Adjusted for currency effects, in comparable currencies, net sales increased by 12.0%.

The long uninterrupted growth trend (14th 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. Growth in the media business in the first quarter amounted to 12.0% year-onyear compared to the same period last year. Revenues from time synchronization for 5G and critical networks amounted to SEK 10.2 million in the quarter, compared to SEK 8.5 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. The orderbook for the time synchronization offer at the end of the quarter amounted to approximately SEK 195 million, which is in line with the end of 2023.

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.

EARNINGS

January-March

Gross profit for the first quarter amounted to SEK 85.5 (74.8) million, an increase of 14.3%, primarily driven by increased revenues. Gross profit included amortization of capitalized development expenditure of SEK -11.7 (-13.5) million. Gross margin, excluding and including, amortization of capitalized development expenditure was 68.3% (69.7%) and 60.0% (59.1%) respectively. The lower gross margin, excluding depreciation on capitalized development expenditures, compared to the previous year is attributable to product mix, where new customers made initial investments in infrastructure, i.e. primarily hardware (see also the CEO's statement above and a more detailed description of the business model in the Annual Report for 2023 page 21).

Operating expenses in the first quarter amounted to SEK -72.2 (-61.8) million, an increase of 16.8% year-on-year. The increase is attributable to a strengthening of the organization (primarily in time synchronization) as well as one-time restructuring costs affecting comparability.

Sales and marketing expenses were SEK -41.3 (-35.5) million, where the increase was primarily driven by the strengthening of the sync-organization as well as investments in cloud and IP expertise. Administration expenses were SEK -17.4 (-15.0) million. Adjusted for project costs and accounting revaluations of endowment insurance, the company's administrative expenses are basically at the same level as the corresponding quarter last year. Development expenses were SEK -13.5 (-11.2). Adjusted for one-time restructuring costs affecting comparability of -2.5 MSEK relating to, what long term will be a profitable move of certain development from Camarillo in California to Stockholm, the underlying operations reflect costs of -11.0 MSEK (-11.2). At the same time, total development expenditures, i.e. before capitalizations, amounted to -42.2 MSEK (-35.9), where approximately half of the increase, excluding restructuring costs, is attributable to component purchases.

Other operating income and expenses were SEK -2.7 (-1.0) million, of which currency exchange rate differences account for SEK -2.7 (-1.3) million.

Operating earnings amounted to SEK 10.6 (12.0) million, corresponding to an operating margin of 7.4% (9.5%). Excluding items affecting comparability of SEK -2.5 (-) million and exchange rate differences of SEK -2.7 (-1.3) million, operating earnings were SEK 15.8 (13.3) million, corresponding to an operation margin of 11.1% (10.5%). For more information, see the table "Material profit and loss items" on page 18.

EBITDA and EBITDAC (EBITDA including reversal of capitalization of development expenditures) amounted to SEK 26.4 (29.6) million and SEK -2.2 (4.9) million, respectively, corresponding to an EBITDA margin of 18.6% (23.4%) and an EBITDAC margin of -1.6% (3.9%). Increased investments in time synchronization in the development and sales organization, along with costs for relocating certain development activities from the US to Sweden have negatively impacted EBITDAC. The capitalization of development expenditures increased to SEK -28.7 million from SEK -24.7 million in the corresponding period last year, and while the reported operating profit fell by SEK -1.4 million from SEK 12.0 million in the first quarter of

In the first quarter, net financial items amounted to SEK 7.4 (1.5) million, of which foreign exchange rate differences of SEK 5.3 (-0.0) million and net interest income of SEK 2.0 (1.5) million.

Profit before tax was SEK 18.0 (13.4) million, and net income was SEK 14.2 (10.4) million, corresponding to a net margin of 9.9% (8.2%).

INVESTMENTS

The investments in the first quarter were SEK 29.6 (26.2) million, of which SEK 28.7 (24.7) million were related to capitalization of expenditure for development. The increase in capitalized development expenditure relates to the investment in time synchronization.

Depreciation and amortization in the first quarter amounted to SEK -15.8 (-17.6) million, of which SEK -11.7 (-13.5) million related to amortization of capitalized expenditure for development. The decline in amortization, in combination with the increase in capitalized development expenditure, was driven by the completion status of development projects at the end of the quarter, combined with the timing of launches of fully developed products.

Net value of capitalized expenditure for development was SEK 253.4 million at end of the period, against SEK 236.5 million as of December 31, 2023.

CASH FLOW AND FINANCIAL POSITION

Cash flow from operating activities in the first quarter amounted to SEK 25.4 (7.3) million. The improvement is primarily attributable to this year's changes in working capital, SEK 1.8 million compared to SEK -24.5 million the previous year. 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 -9.8 million compared to the previous year.

The total cash flow for the first quarter amounted to SEK -15.1 (-29.9). Excluding the cash impact from share-related transactions (repurchase of own shares, see page 18), the cash flow for the first quarter was SEK -6.9 (-21.4) million. Additional information about the buyback program can be found on page 11.

Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period was SEK 251.7 million, compared to SEK 266.4 million as of 31 December 2023.

Equity at the end of the period was SEK 628.8 million, compared to SEK 622.2 million as of 31 December 2023. The equity/assets ratio was 73.7%, compared to 72.7% as of 31 December 2023. The decrease in equity corresponds to the value of share buybacks. For additional information, see the section "Contributed equity" on page 11.

EMPLOYEES

The average number of employees and consultants at Net Insight during the first quarter was 199 (187), of which 165 (150) in the Parent Company Net Insight AB (publ.). The increase is primarily attributable to the investment in time synchronization.

PARENT COMPANY

Net sales for the Parent Company amounted to SEK 142.5 (126.6) million in the first quarter, and net income to SEK 13.2 (9.8) million. Intra-group sales were SEK 0.0 (0.0) million during the quarter, while intra-group purchases were SEK -26.8 (-19.8) million.

Development of the Parent Company for the year and its financial position essentially followed hat of the Group as presented above (excluding intra-group transactions).

RISK AND SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS

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 main risks the company is primarily exposed to include market-related risks (including, but not limited to, competition, technological progress, and political risks), operational risks (including product liability, intellectual property, disputes, customer dependence and contract risks), as well as financial and sustainability-related risks.

The situation with component shortages that arose in connection with the pandemic has led to increased uncertainty in recent years. Th company has taken several measures to manage the shortage situation, and since the half of 2023 a gradual improvement in the situation has been noted. The war in Ukraine, which began in the first quarter 2022, has brought increased uncertainty and risk related to operations and the implementation of events, primarily in Ukraine, Russia, and Belarus. However, the company's exposure to these markets is extremely limited, and compliance with the sanctions is therefore not expected to have any material impact on the company's operations, assets, or earnings., the ongoing conflict in the Middle East has generally increased uncertainty, and it is currently difficult to access any potential impact this may have on, for example, the availability and prices of components. The company's direct exposure to this region, however, is limited.

The ongoing conflict in the Middle East has generally increased uncertainty, and it is currently difficult to assess any potential impact this may have on, for example, the availability and prices of components. The company's direct exposure to this region. However, the company's direct exposure to this region is limited.

Beyond the above, no additional significant risks and uncertainties, other than those reviewed in the Annual Report for 2023, have arisen, or are expected to arise during or are anticipated in 2024.

The risks and uncertainties 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.

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.
