Comments from the CEO

Robust ending with profitable fourth quarter

We are pleased that we ended the year on a positive note, reaching our EBIT profitability target for Q4 2023 excluding costs related to the AutoSense acquisition. Revenue declined 4% on an organic basis for the quarter, but we witnessed a significant bounce back from Q3 2023 levels. We also implemented initiatives to reduce our operational cost base by more than 10% in the quarter. These reductions will deliver an ongoing effect in operational expenses in 2024.

2023 was a challenging financial year for Tobii, however, it also marked a pivotal year for attention computing technology, making its mainstream debut. Industry momentum was evident, with Sony launching their PlayStation VR2 headset featuring our eye tracking technology in February. This trend was reinforced by major industry players such as Apple, Meta, and Amazon unveiling new devices featuring eye tracking capabilities, emphasizing its growing significance in the technology landscape.

Record-breaking high Product & Solutions revenue

In the quarter, Products & Solutions achieved an organic growth of 5%, marking the highest revenue quarter for the segment in our history. We observed stable demand from enterprise and academic customers, with strength in the Americas, but faced challenges in China. We saw significant double-digit revenue growth in our gaming product line during the quarter and the entire year.

High customer engagement for eye tracking in XR

Our Integrations segment experienced a 20% organic revenue decline in the quarter compared to an exceptional performance the same period last year. Despite the absence of Sony PSVR 2 revenue, we achieved our second-highest revenue quarter on record, showcasing the resilience of our business. Since the announcement of the Apple Vision Pro headset, we have increased customer engagement to integrate eye tracking into VR and AR headsets. Tobii now has established robust engineering engagements with several of the leading companies in VR and AR.

Transformational automotive acquisition

We have now closed the acquisition of AutoSense. Tobii has significantly strengthened its position in Automotive Interior Sensing with a substantial set of reference design wins. We have high volume design wins with a premium German automaker, a Korean automaker and a Japanese automaker scheduled for production in 2025 and 2026. In total we count seven OEMs as our customers across more than 100 vehicle models.

Our technology is proven and since 2019 our automotive solutions have shipped in around 300,000 vehicles on the road. I am excited for us to start the integration process, take advantage of the cost and technology synergies and build on AutoSense's existing success as a leader in Interior Sensing.

Righs issue and new financial targets

We announced plans to finance our operational expenses for our Autosense business by raising SEK 300 million through a rights issue in the first quarter 2024, fully financing ourselves for the path to profitability. Simultaneously, we reorganized our business into three segments to improve efficiency, mandate, and transparency.

These strategic changes considerably enhance Tobii's overall position. As previously communicated, we expect to deliver a significantly improved EBIT result in 2024. We have set new financial targets which replace our existing targets. Aligned with our commitment to profitability, we target a positive cash flow and an EBIT margin of around 10% in 2026 and an EBIT margin of around 20% in 2028.

OCTOBER-DECEMBER

REVENUE

Revenue was SEK 255 million (262), corresponding to an organic decline of 4%.

Products & Solutions revenue was SEK 173 million (161), corresponding to an organic growth of 5%. Revenue increased due to robust demand in the Americas region, offset by weaker demand in China.

Integrations revenue was SEK 82 million (101), corresponding to an organic decline of 20%. In the quarter, no revenue was recorded from Sony PS VR2 licenses compared to the same quarter last year.

RESULTS

The gross margin was 74% (78%). The weakened gross margin was an effect of a change in product mix in the Product & Solutions segment.

Products & Solution´s gross margin was 68% (72%).

Integrations gross margin was 87% (88%). The gross margin remained on a high level, reflecting the general trend towards a more software, service and license-based product mix.

Operational expenses increased to SEK 203 million (195). Excluding M&A costs of SEK 31 million related to the acquisition of AutoSense, the operational expenses decreased by SEK 23 million. The lower cost level was mainly attributable to cost reduction initiatives implemented during the quarter lowering operational expenses by more than 10%. These initiatives will deliver the same level of cost reduction for the full year 2024.

The operating result was SEK -14 million (9) and the operating margin was -6% (3%). Adjusted for M&A costs of SEK 31 million related to the acquisition of AutoSense, the operating result was SEK 16 million and the operating margin was 6%.

Net financial items amounted to SEK -13 million (-18) and included SEK -15 million (-15) in currency effects and SEK -4 million (-4) of interest expenses primarily related to finance leases under IFRS 16 and interests due to temporary covid tax reliefs. Interest income contributed positively with SEK 5 million (1).

Profit/loss before tax was SEK -28 million (-9).

Profit/loss for the quarter was SEK -29 million (-9) and diluted earnings per share was SEK -0.27 (-0.08).

CASH FLOW

Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital amounted to SEK 22 million (40). Change in working capital amounted to SEK 5 million (151). The corresponding quarter last year working capital was positively affected by SEK 166 million in temporary covidrelated tax reliefs. Tobii has been granted a repayment schedule over three years for the tax reliefs originally due in February 2024. Half of the amount will be paid in the third quarter of 2025, with the remainder to be paid in the first quarter of 2027.

Investments in intangible, tangible, and financial fixed assets amounted to SEK 53 million (44), including SEK 52 million (45) in capitalization of R&D costs. Cash flow after continuous investments was SEK -26 million (147). Cash flow from financing activities amounted to SEK -7 million (-8), mainly related to installments of IFRS 16 Leases.

JANUARY-DECEMBER

REVENUE

Revenue was SEK 758 million (776), corresponding to an organic decline of 6%.

Products & Solutions revenue was SEK 532 million (513), corresponding to a flat organic development. This was related to weakness in enterprise sales balanced by increased sales to gaming customers.

Integrations revenue was SEK 226 million (264), corresponding to an organic decline of 17%. The revenue decline was related to lower Sony PS VR2 license revenue compared with last year. Excluding the Sony revenue in the previous year, the segment achieved a double-digit organic revenue growth.

RESULTS

The gross margin was 75% (76%).

Products & Solution´s gross margin was 69% (69%).

Integrations gross margin was 89% (89%). The gross margin remained on a high level, reflecting the general trend towards a more software, service and license-based product mix.

Operational expenses increased to SEK 751 million (712). Excluding the M&A expenses of SEK 31 million and a negative impact in currency effects on operational balance sheet items of SEK -9 (7) million, the operational expenses have decreased with SEK 8 million. The lower cost level was mainly attributable to cost reduction initiatives implemented during the fourth quarter 2023.

The operating result was SEK -184 million (-122) and the operating margin was -24% (-16%). Adjusted for M&A costs of SEK 31 million related to the acquisition of AutoSense operating result was SEK -153 million and the operating margin was -20%.

Net financial items amounted to SEK -13 million (24) and included SEK -4 million (29) in currency effects and SEK -15 million (-6) of interest expenses primarily related to finance leases under IFRS 16 and interests due to temporary covid tax reliefs. Interest income contributed positively with SEK 7 million (1).

Profit/loss before tax was SEK -197 million (-99).

Profit/loss for the period was SEK -198 million (-99) and diluted earnings per share was SEK -1.87 (-0.94).

CASH FLOW AND FINANCIAL POSITION

Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital amounted to SEK -37 million (41). Change in working capital amounted to SEK 132 million (96), of which SEK 63 (129) million stemmed from a deferral of tax related to covid-reliefs.

Investments in intangible, tangible, and financial fixed assets amounted to SEK 214 million (169), including SEK 202 million (172) in capitalization of R&D costs. Cash flow after continuous investments was SEK -119 million (-32). Acquisitions amounted to SEK 15 million (-).

ACQUISITIONS

Asset deal Oculid

On April 1, 2023, Tobii acquired all assets in Oculid GmbH and incorporated the employees into Tobii´s operations. Oculid provides a leading solution for cloud-based mobile user research. The complementary acquisition will strengthen Tobii's consumer insight software portfolio. The acquisition is expected to have an insignificant effect on Tobii´s short-term financial results and position. The purchase consideration amounted to SEK 6 million.

Eyevido GmbH

On August 9, 2023, Tobii acquired all shares in Eyevido GmbH. Eyevido offers a cloud-based software used for conducting webbased user studies with eye tracking. The software will complement and strengthen the consumer insight offering to enterprise customers. The acquisition is expected to have an insignificant effect on Tobii´s short-term financial results and position. The purchase consideration for the acquired net assets was SEK 9 million. Eyevido GmbH was consolidated into Tobii Group as of August 9, 2023.

FotoNation Ltd

On 13 December 2023, Tobii entered into an agreement to acquire all shares in FotoNation Ltd, including AutoSense Automotive Interior Sensing business. The transaction was closed on 31 January 2024. This strategic acquisition enhances Tobii's Interior Sensing offerings, including Driver Monitoring System (DMS) and Occupant Monitoring System (OMS).

The consideration for 100 percent of the shares in FotoNation Ltd amounts to a minimum of USD 45 million on a cash- and debt-free basis, of which approximately USD 30 million will be structured as a promissory note at 8% interest. The promissory note and interest are paid in three annual installments starting in 2027. A future payment of USD 15 million will be paid in four annual installments starting in 2028. There will thus be no upfront cash or share consideration. Additional earnouts of approximately USD 19 million may be generated for the Autosense segment upon meeting specific volume targets, with payout scheduled for 2031.

As a result of the transaction, Autosense will be a separate business segment reported at operating result (EBIT) level from first quarter of 2024. The purchase price allocation will be presented in the report for the first quarter of 2024 and in the annual report for 2023. The acquisition had no impact on the financials for 2023.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTY FACTORS

Tobii's business risks include the economic climate, the competitive situation, currency risks, credit risks in relation to customers, financing risks, the risk of impairment write-downs of capitalized R&D and other intangible assets, and regulatory risks. Tobii's risks and risk management are described in greater detail in the risk section on pages 47-52, in the Corporate Governance Report on pages 58-59, and note 3 on page 82 in Tobii's 2022 Annual Report. Tobii is of the opinion that this risk description remains correct.

SEASONALITY

Tobii's operations and revenue is characterized by variations between quarters. The seasonal patterns are different for the segments Product & Solutions and Integrations and there are also regional variations. The fourth quarter is normally the strongest quarter in terms of revenue and profits as the budget year closes in most of Tobii's geographic markets.

FINANCIAL TARGETS AND DIVIDEND POLICY

On 1 February 2024, the board of directors adopted new financial targets for the Tobii group. Tobii is targeting:

  • ⚫ Positive cash flow after continuous investments for the full-year 2026
  • ⚫ Operating margin (EBIT) of around 10% for the full-year 2026
  • ⚫ Operating margin (EBIT) of around 20% for the full-year 2028

These new targets focusing on profitability replace the previous targets.

Tobii will continue to reinvest cash flows in growth initiatives and therefore in the near term does not foresee any annual dividends.

TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

No transactions have occurred between Tobii and related parties that have materially affected the Company's position and earnings.

ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE MEASURES

Alternative Performance Measures (APMs) are financial measures of financial performance, financial position, or cash flows other than those defined in the applicable financial reporting framework (IFRS). These are considered to be important supplemental measures of the company's performance. These measures may not be comparable to measures used by other companies since not all companies calculate financial measures in the same way. The key ratios and alternative performance measures that Tobii uses are defined on page 134 of the 2022 annual report.

Reconciliation of APMs

This section presents only the reconciliation of alternative performance measures that cannot be calculated from the information in financial reports in this interim report.
