Comments from the CEO

Healthy quarter proving our ability to reach profitability

Tobii delivered a healthy 19 percent organic growth in the quarter and achieved a 19 percentage points year-on-year operating margin improvement, which allowed us to reach the first EBIT profitable quarter since our IPO in 2015. We achieved this despite our business not hitting on all cylinders, as many of our research customers continued through a belt-tightening phase. Considering the circumstances, I am delighted with this result. It shows the benefit of our diverse portfolio, a healthy operating leverage, and that our efforts to reach profitability have made good progress.

Our Integrations segment continues to show good performance. Revenue increased 59 percent organically and the gross margin improved by 11 percentage points to 88 percent in the quarter. This was driven by a healthy mix of both increased project- and software license revenues.

Despite headwinds in many markets for behavioral studies and research, Products & Solutions reached 2 percent organic growth in the quarter. This was primarily because of a strong finish of the quarter in the Chinese market and a continued growth in our direct-toconsumer PC gaming peripherals. The Chinese market re-opened during the quarter, and we noted a clear increase in demand. It is too early to tell what portion of this result is a post-covid normalization or an effect of pent-up demand.

In the context of a strong fourth quarter, it is important to note that Tobii still faces uncertainty in our Products & Solution business, and that our Integrations business can be lumpy. Therefore, Tobii's financial performance is best measured over a longer time horizon which allows a more accurate view of the underlying trends. Our free cash flow improved to SEK 145 million (23), which includes a temporary deferral of taxes. This allows us to exit the year with a robust financial position.

Positive momentum in a turbulent year

The year 2022 brought a lot of turbulence which affected organizations worldwide. The post covid return to office work, the weakening of the macro economy and continued supply chain disruptions presented challenges for many companies. In addition, the war in Ukraine directly affected Tobii and, most importantly, our people in the region. While managing through these external disruptions, we were doing significant work to form the "new" Tobii organization after the spin-off of Tobii Dynavox. I am incredibly proud of the work of my colleagues and all that we have achieved while navigating this turmoil. I want to highlight a few of these achievements.

We achieved a top rating in Allbright´s gender diversity study, improved our MSCI ESG rating to A, reached carbon neutrality in our operations in Sweden and received the ISO 27001 certification. 2022 also marked the year in which Tobii reached a major milestone, Tobii´s technology shipping more than one million units in a single calendar year. A promising indicator for the future was the positive reviews that the PSVR2 and its eye tracking performance received and that many games are leveraging our technology for graphics improvements and in game interaction. Lastly, I am enthusiastic about the potential of our automotive DMS solution, which for the first time was evaluated in private & public showcases and is receiving very positive feedback from partners and prospective customers.

Overall, for the full year 2022, Tobii delivered 14 percent organic growth and 14-percentage point operating margin improvement. These numbers validate that we are back in a growth phase and on a trajectory toward profitability.

2023 will be a transformational year for Tobii

In 2023, eye tracking will reach mass market adoption for the first time, with millions of users experiencing the technology through the PSVR2. This is a major milestone for Tobii, and it has the potential to spur a wave of eye tracking innovation and uptake outside of VR as well. The Sony PSVR2 sets a new baseline for consumer VR headsets, and the importance of eye tracking is expected to increase for other OEMs. We have good momentum in the XR industry and expect to evolve our engagements with leading OEMs further. I also see significant traction in Automotive and in 2023 our ambition is to close multiple design wins.

Despite the risk of a continued weak macro-environment, we enter 2023 with optimism based on our strengthened underlying business fundamentals. The combination of increased top-line revenue with a focus on controlling costs will enable us to deliver further improvements in profitability in 2023. We remain confident and committed to reaching our financial goal of being EBIT profitable again in Q4 2023.

OCTOBER-DECEMBER

REVENUE

Revenue amounted to SEK 262 million (196), corresponding to organic growth of 19 %.

Products & Solutions revenue amounted to SEK 161 million (142), corresponding to organic growth of 2 %.

Organic growth was hampered by contractions in all other regions and specifically in Japan.

Integrations revenue amounted to SEK 101 million (54), corresponding to an organic growth of 59 %. The revenue growth was driven by a mix of license revenues related to PSVR 2 and development projects.

RESULTS

The gross margin was 78 % (77 %).

Products & Solution´s gross margin was 72 % (78 %). The decline in gross margin was related to a product mix shift and currency effects.

Integrations gross margin was 88 % (76 %). The improvement was derived from a product mix shift towards more software license and development project revenues.

Operational expenses increased because of a demand driven ramp-up of R&D activities in among other things solutions for extended reality (AR/VR) platform and automotive DMS.

The operating result was SEK 9 million (-31) and the operating margin was 3 % (-16 %). Net financial items amounted to SEK -18 million (3) and included SEK -15 million (8) in currency translation effects on balance sheet items and SEK -4 million (-5) of interest expenses

RESULTS

The gross margin was 76 % (72 %).

Integrations gross margin was 89 % (63 %). The improvement in gross margin was related to a mix shift from hardware to software licenses.

Operational expenses increased because of the normalization and recovery of sales and marketing activities, a demand driven ramp-up of R&D activities in XR and Automotive, and increased G&A costs following the spin-off of Tobii Dynavox.

1) On December 31, 2022, a total of 3.9 million warrants, stock options, and stock units were outstanding, which is an increase of 0.5 million since the end of 2021. Due to the distribution of Tobii Dynavox to Tobii's shareholders in December 2021, the incentive programs have been recalculated in January 2022 to reflect the new share price (in relation to the Tobii Dynavox share price). This resulted in an increase in the total number of instruments in the incentive programs. Due to the distribution, the LTI 2020 and LTI 2021 programs for Dynavox employees have also been terminated. The total effect of the recalculation was +2.9 million instruments.

During the year, 1,066,498 warrants and stock options have been redeemed, relating to the following programs: LTI 2014/24:1 (115,028), LTI 2018:1 (457,568), LTI 2018:2 (62,742), LTI 2017:2 (67,808) and LTI 2019 (132,380). The first vesting of LTI2020 occurred during the period, resulting in 230,972 stock units being exercised.

In addition, 2,038,067 warrants, stock options and stock units have expired or been terminated, relating to the following programs: LTI 2016:2 (149,332), LTI 2017:2 (6,456), LTI 2018:1 (829,624), LTI 2018:2 (301 265) LTI 2019 (11,298), LTI 2020 (425,615), LTI 2021 (294,279) and LTI 2022 (20,220).

LTI2022 was launched during the year resulting in 735,550 stock units being allotted.

The dilution effect of warrants, stock options, and stock units in all the Company's incentive programs and maximum issuance under LTI 2022 corresponds to a maximum of approximately 4.0%.

CONDENSED PARENT COMPANY BALANCE SHEET

Notes

Note 1.Accounting policies

The Interim Report complies with the provisions of IAS 34, and the report for the Parent Company has been prepared pursuant to the provisions of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and RFR 2. In addition to the financial statements, disclosures under 34.16A also appear in other parts of the interim report. The accounting policies of the Parent Company and the Group, and the calculation principles used in the report, are unchanged from those used in the most recently published Annual Report, with the exception of the application of new standards. The IASB has published amendments to standards effective from January 1, 2022, or later. These amendments have not had a material impact on the financial statements.

Due to the divestment of Tobii Dynavox in December 2021, Tobii Dynavox is now an external party. Comparative periods have been restated, and profit for Tobii Dynavox is recognized on a separate line in the consolidated income statement; Profit/loss from discontinued operations. The cash flow statement includes a full cash flow statement for continuing operations and a total cash flow for discontinued operations.

Note 2.Segments

Pursuant to the divestment of Tobii Dynavox and the organizational merger of Tobii Pro and Tobii Tech, Tobii's reporting structure has changed from Q4 2021. Tobii is now reporting two segments, Products & Solutions, and Integrations. For each segment will be reported revenue, gross profit, and gross margin. Research and development, sales and marketing, and central functions can now be leveraged across the whole company and will not be allocated to any segment.

PRODUCTS & SOLUTIONS

The segment comprises hardware products, software products, and services and the customers include both B2B customers and consumers. Hardware products consist of a suite of eye tracking products, including the flagship eye tracking glasses Tobii Pro Glasses 3, research-grade screen-based eye trackers such as Pro Spectrum and Pro Fusion as well as the consumer gaming device Tobii Eye Tracker 5. In addition, the segment also includes the software Tobii Pro Lab, Sticky, and the consultancy service Tobii Pro Insight.

INTEGRATIONS

This segment comprises the integration of Tobii solutions into customers' products, including both software and hardware components. These integrations are deployed in a range of devices, from gaming laptops and medical assessment tolls to virtual reality headsets. The business within this segment is still relatively young, with innovative customers with products in very different stages of development.

Note 3.Business combinations

ACQUISITIONS

No acquisitions have occurred during the quarter.

On August 9, 2021, Tobii acquired all shares in Phasya SA, a private company registered in Liège, Belgium. Phasya's technology and long experience within development and validation of algorithms to assess cognitive states is highly complementary to Tobii´s expertise and eye tracking technology. This will enhance Tobii's Driver Monitoring System, Tobii DMS. It also opens new opportunities for using cognitive state information in several markets, such as VR, AR, scientific research, and gaming, providing substantial synergies. The company currently collaborates with numerous customers in automotive, technology, and aviation, as well as with leading industry associations providing key relationships for Tobii and Phasya to build on.

Phasya is in its early pre-revenue commercialization phase. By leveraging its resources and capabilities, Tobii will be able to accelerate the commercialization of Phasya's offering. Tobii expects the business to scale rapidly, driven by integrations of the algorithms in Tobii´s existing solutions as well as in new applications, and with the mass market adoption for automotive DMS expected in 2024/25.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

No divestments have occurred during the quarter.

On October 25, 2021, an Extraordinary General Meeting approved the distribution of Tobii Dynavox AB to Tobii AB's shareholders. The distribution was completed during December and the shares of Tobii Dynavox AB were listed on Nasdaq Stockholm on December 9, 2021. The gain from the distribution was calculated as the difference between the carrying amount of the assets distributed and the fair value of the dividend, corresponding to the market value of Tobii Dynavox AB at listing.

All effect related to the divestment have been referred to as Discontinued operations in the report.

Fair value for interest-bearing loans is calculated for disclosure purposes by discounting future cash flows at the current interest rate for the remaining maturity

Tobii classifies financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in a fair-value hierarchy based on the information used in the valuation of each asset or liability. For financial instruments in level 3, information that is material to the fair value of the asset or liability is not observable and Tobii's own assessments are applied. Both interest-bearing loans and contingent considerations are classified under level 3.

All operations related to Smartbox, which was acquired in 2018, were divested during the fourth quarter of 2020. The last remaining contingent consideration related to the transaction, was received during the year.

DEFINITIONS OF ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE MEASURES (APM) NOT DEFINED BY IFRS

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 125 of the 2021 annual report.

RECONCILIATION OF ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE MEASURES

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