Q3 2022 was a mixed bag for Tobii. On the one hand, we continue to see our long-term outlook strengthen with clear steps forward in virtual reality, automotive and healthcare. On the other hand, we delivered 3% organic growth, which is significantly lower than our ambition level. The macroeconomic environment resulted in some enterprise customers delaying or cancelling orders. We see increased risks that these challenges may affect us in 2023 as well. In response to this outlook, we are reducing our opex run rate to ensure we will deliver on our previously communicated financial goal for 2023.
In the third quarter, we continued to deliver organic growth despite severe headwinds in parts of our business. Our gross margin improved by three percentage points, reaching a strong 74 percent.
Our Integrations segment continues to show good performance. We secured a record 8 design wins, revenue increased 30 percent organically, and the gross margin improved by 9 percentage points to 90 percent in the quarter.
Products & Solutions had a mixed quarter with a pronounced decline for enterprise customers, which was partly balanced by solid growth in our direct-to-consumer PC gaming peripherals. This led to an overall 6% organic decline for the segment. The weakness in sales to enterprise customers is related to the weakening macroeconomic environment and is seen across all our regions. Our direct-to-consumer PC gaming peripheral has consistently grown since 2020 and had its best-ever quarter in Q3 2022.
Our EBIT result improved to SEK –36 million (-42), and our free cash flow improved to SEK -64 million (-71). The free cash flow for the quarter includes a one-time repayment of SEK 37 million to the Swedish tax authorities for covid related tax relief. After the quarter, we have been granted SEK 166 million of additional temporary Covid related tax relief from the Swedish tax authorities.
We saw continued positive development of the ecosystem around our solutions in our major investment verticals, including healthcare, VR and automotive DMS. The Sony PlayStation VR 2 headset that is set to be released February 22 is getting strong positive reviews, and more than 40 VR game titles have announced support for the headset. Besides Sony, we have deepened our engagements with other leading OEMs in the VR space.
Tobii also collaborates with Samsung to enable our heart rate-based drowsiness algorithm using Samsung´s Healthcare SDK on the Galaxy Smart Watch. This collaboration is a validation of Tobii's industry-leading drowsiness analysis technology, which applies to both healthcare and automotive DMS. In addition, two of Tobii´s disruptive healthcare customers, NeuroSync and Novasight, have received FDA clearance for traumatic brain injury diagnosis and amblyopia therapy.
During the quarter, we had our first public demonstration of Tobii DMS at the InCabin automotive event in Brussels. The customer feedback was unanimously positive, and we are rapidly progressing deeper and further in key engagements and RFQs with Tier 1s and OEMs.
The macroeconomic outlook deteriorated further in the third quarter, and our growth was not up to our own expectations. Despite the business environment, we are strongly committed to deliver on our previously communicated financial goal for 2023. We have taken steps to reduce our opex run rate and are ready to implement further measures if needed. We expect positive EBIT for Q4 of 2023.
We continue to build a solid foundation for long-term success, and I am confident in our ability to return to stronger growth and deliver on our targets.
Anand Srivatsa CEO, Tobii

Revenue increased 17% to SEK 176 million (151), corresponding to organic growth of 3 %. Products & Solutions revenue was SEK 121 million (113), corresponding to organic decline of 6 %. Revenue was hampered by a weak market for enterprise customers. This weakness was seen across all regions. This was balanced mainly by a strong growth of our PC gaming peripheral Tobii Eye Tracker 5.
Integrations revenue increased to SEK 55 million (38), corresponding to an organic growth of 30 %. The revenue growth was driven by license revenues related to Sony PS VR 2 and development projects with other industry leading VR- and AR OEMs

The operating result was SEK -36 million (-42) and the operating margin was -20 % (-28 %). Net financial items amounted to SEK 18 million (2) and included SEK 19 million (6) in

Revenue increased 22 % to SEK 514 million (420), corresponding to organic growth of 13 %. Products & Solutions increased revenue to SEK 352 million (316), corresponding to organic growth of 3 %.

1) On September 31, 2022, a total of 4.0 million warrants, stock options, and stock units were outstanding, which is an increase of 0.6 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, 1,978,789 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 (1,127,661), LTI 2019 (6,456), LTI 2020 (408,135), LTI 2021 (276,199) and LTI 2022 (4,550).
LTI2022 was launched during the quarter resulting in 735,550 stock units being allotted.

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 July 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 quarter.

Other than the contingent consideration, Tobii has no financial instruments that are measured at fair value in the income statement.
Impairment testing for goodwill was carried out at the end of the 2021 financial year, without any need for impairment being identified.
As of September 30, 2022, Tobii has no pledged assets or contingent liabilities.
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. Tobiis risks and risk management are described in greater detail in the risk section on pages 40-45, in the Directors' Report on pages 50-51, and note 3 in Tobii's 2021 Annual Report. Tobii is of the opinion that this risk description remains correct.
No transactions have occurred between Tobii and related parties that have materially affected the Company's position and earnings.
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.
This section presents only the reconciliation of alternative performance measures that cannot be calculated from the information in financial reports in this interim report.

Tobii AB (publ) corp. reg. no. 556613-9654
We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) of Tobii AB (publ) as of 30 September 2022 and the nine-month period then ended. The board of directors and the CEO are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410, Review of Interim Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing, ISA, and other generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, regarding the Group, and with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, regarding the Parent Company.
