Comments from the CEO

The quarter was again characterized by strong underlying growth, with North America continuing to be the clear driver. In Europe and the rest of the world, the pandemic is still having lingering effects on several countries. Profitability is burdened by high component and freight costs, but purchase prices for products now in production have largely normalized. This will gradually benefit our margins going forward. Our market is growing and has historically been independent of economic trends, since our solutions are prescribed on an asneeded basis, with funding from the public sector or insurance companies. Moreover, the demand for our products is strong and increasing thanks to steadily improving awareness in the market.

Underlying sales grew by an impressive 25 percent in the quarter, adjusted for the delayed deliveries that postponed revenues by SEK 43 million from the second to the third quarter last year. In North America, demand for our products is consistently strong, including our touchscreen communication aids, such as the new TD I-110, software and the eye-controlled TD Pilot which was developed in collaboration with Apple.

In Europe and other markets outside North America, we see a fragmented market picture with some lingering effects from the pandemic. One example is that activities that are primarily run by the public sector are perceived to take longer to return to full staffing and efficiency compared to the almost fully privatized health care system in North America. This picture is also verified from other related industries.

GROSS MARGIN AFFECTED BY TRANSITORY FACTORS

The negative impact of high component prices continued to negatively affect the gross margin. However, the prices for components have started to drop, and we expect the impact on earnings to gradually decline. Shipping costs remain at a high level, and we do not yet see a clear decline. With a more predictable supply chain, we can use cheaper means of transportation, including shipping by sea. Given the well-stocked finished goods inventory and stable demand, we see good opportunities to gradually reduce the impact of high shipping costs on earnings in the future. The EBIT margin is also negatively affected by the normalization of our overhead costs with more travel, staff meetings and industry conferences, after the low levels of the pandemic, which is fundamentally positive. Our long-term financial goal, to achieve an EBIT margin in excess of 15 percent, remains, but we have some work to do before we can reach it.

Our product launches continue at a steady pace. In early September, we launched the SC Tablet Mini, which is based on the Apple iPad Mini 6. With its compact size and light weight, it is easy to carry and perfect for children.

In early October, we signed a new three-year financing agreement with Swedbank. The credit facilities include the same financing framework as before, SEK 700 million, and are classified as social loans. This means that Tobii Dynavox qualifies as a company that contributes to the development of society through sustainable social initiatives. It is a clear confirmation of quality and follows from the life-changing differences our products make for our users.

CONTINUED GOOD GROWTH PROSPECTS DESPITE UNCERTAIN ENVIRONMENT

Since our sales are almost entirely linked to prescriptions and are financed by public funds or insurance companies, we have historically been independent of economic trends. The need for communication aids is also enormous. Overall, this means that we are confident about our growth prospects, both in the short- and long-term, despite the uncertain environment.

QUARTER: JULY – SEPTEMBER

Revenue

Group revenue increased 26% to SEK 320 million (255). Organically, sales were virtually unchanged. Adjusted for the supplier disruptions that positively impacted revenue in the comparative quarter of 2021, underlying organic growth was 25%. Growth was driven entirely by North America. Currency movements had a positive impact of 19% on revenue and acquisitions contributed 6%.

Performance

Consolidated gross profit amounted to SEK 213 million (170), corresponding to a gross margin of 67% (67%). Currency effects had a positive impact on the gross margin of about three percentage points, whereof one percentage point is of non-recurring nature. The margin continued to be affected by high component prices and shipping costs compared with the previous year. Neither rising shipping costs nor component prices are considered to be long-term in nature.

Operating profit totaled SEK 25 million (42) and the operating margin was 7.8% (16.5%). The decrease is partly explained by last year's delivery disruptions, which had a positive impact on the earnings for the comparative quarter with around SEK 28 million. Adjusted for this the underlying margin for the comparative quarter was approximately 6%. Operating expenses grew organically by 17%.

The comparative period had lower costs due to a low level of activity because of the pandemic with respect to travel, events, etc. Cost developments have been affected by a normalization after the pandemic. Comparable units were also affected by salary raises and staff reinforcements, primarily in the sales and marketing organization, and higher consultancy costs, partly due to higher staff turnover.

Research and development expenses had a negative impact on operating profit of SEK 10 million in the quarter compared with the corresponding quarter last year, mainly related to a normalization of development costs. Depreciation costs were also higher because of new product launches. Investments relate to the development of proprietary products, the majority of which involve software and voice technology.

Financial items amounted to SEK -7 million (-4) and mainly consisted of interest on external loans. Profit before tax was SEK 18 million (37).

Tax for the period amounted to SEK -2 (-16) million, of which SEK 1 (-4) million relates to deferred tax.

Profit for the period was SEK 16 million (21). Basic and diluted earnings per share were SEK 0.15 (0.21).

Currency effects

Higher exchange rates, primarily USD/SEK, had a positive impact on revenue of SEK +48 million and on operating profit of SEK 7 million compared with the corresponding quarter last year.

Cash flow, liquidity and financial position

Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital amounted to SEK 53 million (69). Change in working capital amounted to SEK -27 million (-47). The large decrease in working capital is mainly attributable to an increase in accounts receivable, mainly driven by increased sales in North America, where lead time to payment is longer.

Cash flow from investing activities amounted to SEK -34 million (-20), of which SEK -20 million (-16) was capitalization of R&D costs. Cash flow for the period was SEK -11 million (-43).

At the end of the quarter, the Group had cash and cash equivalents of SEK 109 million (110). Consolidated net debt totaled SEK 565 million (221), including SEK 70 million (53) in IFRS 16 finance leases.

PERIOD: JANUARY – SEPTEMBER

Revenue

Group revenue increased 36% to SEK 855 million (627). Organic growth was 17%. As a result of supplier disruptions during the 2021 comparative period, some revenue was postponed to the fourth quarter of 2021. Adjusted for this delay, underlying organic growth was 13% for the period. Currency movements had a positive impact of 15% on revenue and acquisitions contributed 4%. North America showed strong growth. Europe and the rest of the world are expected to be later in phase due to some lingering effects of the pandemic.

Performance

Consolidated gross profit amounted to SEK 555 million (414), corresponding to a gross margin of 65% (66%). The margin decline was mainly attributable to increased costs for components and shipping, which are expected to be transient in the long term. The currency effect had a positive

impact on gross margin. Adjusted for the factors referred to above, the underlying gross margin was around 66%.

Operating profit increased to SEK 58 million (47) and the operating margin was 6.7% (7.5). The strong growth in North America contributed to the earnings trend. Operating expenses grew organically by 16%.

The comparative period had lower costs due to a lower level of activity because of the pandemic with respect to travel, events, etc. Cost developments were also affected for comparable units by staff reinforcements, primarily in the sales & marketing organization but also related to being a independent company, and higher consultancy costs, partly due to higher staff turnover.

Research and development expenses increased the burden on operating profit by SEK 22 million in the period compared with the same period last year, driven by more normalized levels of development costs but also related to higher depreciation costs due to product launches. Investments relate to the development of proprietary products, the majority of which involve software. Profit was also negatively impacted by one-off costs of approximately SEK 3 million, primarily related to M&A.

Financial items amounted to SEK -19 million (-15) and mainly consisted of interest on external loans. Profit before tax was SEK 39 million (32).

Tax for the period amounted to SEK -7 million (-7), of which SEK 2 (-3) million relates to deferred tax.

Profit for the period was SEK 31 million (24). Basic and diluted earnings per share were SEK 0.30 (0.25).

Currency effects

Higher exchange rates, primarily USD/SEK, had a positive impact on revenue of SEK +93 million and on operating profit of SEK 13 million compared with the same period last year.

Cash flow, liquidity and financial position

Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital amounted to SEK 128 million (122). Change in working capital amounted to SEK -101 million (-20). The large decrease in working capital is mainly attributable to inventory build-up. In the autumn of 2021, we made a strategic decision to increase our finished goods inventory in order to minimize the risk of delivery problems. Another contributing factor to the change in working capital is the increase in revenue, especially in North America where payment times are longer.

Cash flow from investing activities amounted to SEK -169 million (-62), of which SEK -58 million (-55) was capitalization of R&D costs. Cash flow for the period was SEK -99 million (-67).

At the end of the quarter, the Group had cash and cash equivalents of SEK 109 million (110). Consolidated net debt totaled SEK 565 million (221), including SEK 70 million (53) in IFRS 16 finance leases.

Organization

The number of employees converted to full-time equivalents at the close of the period was 562 (469). Acquired companies contributed with an increase of 48 FTEs.

Acquisitions

On April 1, the Group acquired 100% of the shares in the Irish company Obear Technologies Limited, operating under the name Safe Care Technologies. The company is a Tobii Dynavox reselling partner and a leading supplier of assistive technology for communication in Ireland. The company had revenue of approximately SEK 9 million, with an operating margin of approximately 10% for the financial year that ended June 30, 2021. Safe Care Technologies was consolidated into the Tobii Dynavox Group as of April 1, 2022.

In October 2021, Tobii Dynavox agreed to acquire the Belgian company Acapela Group, a global provider of voice synthesis and digital voices. The acquisition was completed on April 29, 2022. Acapela Group's revenue in 2020 was approximately SEK 62 million with an operating margin of 14%. Acapela Group was consolidated into the Tobii Dynavox Group as of April 29, 2022.

On June 23, the Group agreed to acquire all business activities and assets of its reselling partner ASK in Denmark, effective July 1.

As a result of these acquisitions, Tobii Dynavox expects to both strengthen its product offering and come closer to users in the countries where these acquisitions are active, with the hope of giving more people a voice. Tobii Dynavox also expects to reduce costs through synergies.

Notes

Note 1. Accounting policies

Tobii Dynavox applies International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union. This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting.

Tobii Dynavox's interim report contains condensed financial statements. For the Group, this mainly means that the note disclosures are limited compared with the financial statements presented in the annual report. The financial statements of the Parent Company are generally presented in condensed format, with limited disclosures compared with the annual accounts. The interim reports for Tobii Dynavox AB have been prepared in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and standard RFR 2, Accounting for legal entities.

The accounting policies applied are in effect in all periods and are consistent with the accounting policies applied in Tobii Dynavox Annual and sustainability report 2021.

The period January to September 2021 and the third quarter 2021 are combined financial statements. In December 2021 Tobii AB distributed all common shares in the wholly owned subsidiary Tobii Dynavox to the common shareholders of Tobii with subsequent stock exchange listing.

The formation of the Tobii Dynavox Group involves transactions between entities under common control. As neither these transactions nor the combined financial statements are subject to any IFRS standard, management should develop and apply an accounting policy that is, among other things, relevant and reliable, in accordance with IAS 8 Accounting policies, changes in accounting estimates and errors). An appropriate and established method is to use the predecessor value method, which is the principle used by Tobii Dynavox.

The assets and liabilities of the entities brought into the newly formed Tobii Dynavox Group have been included at their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements of Tobii AB from the date they became part of the Tobii AB Group. The Parent Company of the new group, Tobii Dynavox AB, was established on January 1, 2019. From this date, all companies merged into the Tobii Dynavox Group have been under common control under Tobii AB.

Tobii Dynavox has started entities in Germany and China in 2021. The Tobii Dynavox segment activities of the Tobii Group companies in Germany and China were transferred to these newly established companies in 2021. In the combined financial statements, the results generated in the Tobii Dynavox segment of the Tobii Group companies in Germany and China have been added to the Tobii Dynavox Group. Since no consideration was paid between the companies for these transactions, they have been reported as "Other transactions with shareholders of the Tobii Group" in Shareholders' equity and Cash flow in the combined financial statements.

Share-based payment to employees

The amount of allocated stock units as per September 30, 2022, is 1 060 479.

The dilutive effect is expected to be a maximum of 1.2 percent. Since the plans were in the Tobii Group in 2021, Tobii Dynavox bore its share of the cost of the plans through the income statement by re-invoicing from the Tobii Group. Tobii Dynavox therefore did not recognize any IFRS 2 related costs against equity. Since these plans are now approved, transferred, translated, and allocated in the Tobii Dynavox Group, these share-based plans are accounted for in accordance with IFRS 2 Share-based Payment as of January 2022.

The number of stock units allocated under the 2020 plan amounts to 265,128 share rights as of the end of September 2022. The number of stock units allocated under the 2021 plan amounts to 352,264 share rights as of the end of September 2022.

The 2022 plan has resulted in an allocation as of September 30 of 443,087 stock units. The number of stock units that are not yet allocated is 220,913.

In addition to the above allocated stock units, approximately 270,000 additional common shares may be issued to cover the company's social security costs.

Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs attributable to the construction of qualifying assets are capitalized as a portion of the qualifying asset's cost. A qualifying asset is an asset that takes a substantial time period to get ready for its intended use or sale. The Group considers a period in excess of one year to be a substantial time period.

Business acquisitions

In connection with a business acquisition, the Group's acquisition cost is established through a purchase price allocation. In the analysis, the fair value of the identifiable assets and the assumed liabilities is determined. For business acquisitions where the acquisition cost exceeds the net carrying amount of the acquired identifiable assets and the assumed liabilities, the difference is reported as goodwill in the Balance Sheet. The purchase price allocation also identifies assets and liabilities that are not reported in the acquired company, such as trademarks and customer contracts. Intangible assets that have been identified when making the purchase price allocation are amortized over the estimated useful life. Goodwill and strong trademarks that are considered to have an indefinite useful life, are not amortized but tested annually for impairment, or whenever there is any indication of impairment.

Consideration that is contingent upon the outcome of future events is valued at fair value and the change in value is recognized in the Income Statement.

The acquired Voice Technology is amortized over 10 years, while the amortization period for customer relations is 5 years.

Subsidiaries acquired during the financial year are included in the consolidated accounts from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. Subsidiaries disposed of during the financial year are included in the consolidated financial statements until the date on which control ceases.

Note 2. Risks and uncertainty factors

Tobii Dynavox 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 Dynavox in the U.S. is under the supervisory control of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)). More information on risks and risk management can be found in the Tobii Dynavox Annual and Sustainability Report for 2021.

Note 3. Segment reporting

The assessment of which operating segments exist in the Group shall be based on the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker is the function responsible for allocation of resources and analyzing the segment's profit/loss. In the Tobii Dynavox Group, this function has been identified as Group Management. The financial information provided to Group Management within Tobii Dynavox, as a basis for decisions on the allocation of resources, applies to the business as a whole without any subdivision into underlying segments. Given this situation, the management of the Tobii Dynavox Group has determined that the business as a whole should be considered a segment until further notice. Sales by geographic market is broken down into the following markets: North America, Europe and other countries.

Note 4. Transactions with related parties

Significant related party transactions are disclosed in the Group's Note 27 in the Tobii Dynavox Annual and Sustainability Report for 2021. There have been no material changes in related party relationships or transactions compared with those described in the 2021 Annual and Sustainability Report

Note 5. Sustainability information

More information on the Group's sustainability efforts can be found in the Tobii Dynavox Annual and Sustainability Report 2021.

Note 6. Pledged assets and contingent liabilities

Note 9. Förvärv

On April 1, 2022, Tobii Dynavox acquired the Irish company Obear Technologies Limited, operating under the name Safe Care Technologies. The company is a reselling partner to Tobii Dynavox and a leading supplier of assistive technology for communication in Ireland. The company had sales of approximately SEK 9 million, with an operating margin of approximately 10% for the financial year that ended June 30, 2021. The total purchase consideration for the acquired net assets was SEK 6 million. A cash payment of SEK 5.8 million was paid at the time of acquisition. The agreed contingent consideration is linked to future performance.

Safe Care Technologies was consolidated into the Tobii Dynavox Group as of April 1, 2022

The acquisition of the Belgian company Acapela Group, a global provider of voice synthesis and digital voices, was completed on April 29, 2022. The purchase consideration was SEK 101 million, including cash and liabilities, and was paid in cash and financed partly with own cash and partly through an existing revolving credit facility.

Tobii Dynavox and Acapela Group have been successful partners for many years. The merger will further deepen this relationship, providing great opportunities to develop solutions that enable our users to create their own voice identity and express themselves clearly, personally and effectively in the way that they want.

Acapela Group was included in the Group's accounts from April 29, 2022.

On June 23, Tobii Dynavox signed an agreement to acquire all business activities and assets of its reselling partner ASK in Denmark, effective July 1, 2022.

ASK is a supplier of assistive technology products and services to customers in Denmark, including municipalities, schools, communication centers, care centers and other institutions. Tobii Dynavox solutions comprise the majority of ASK's revenue of some DKK 6-9 million per year. The companies have had a long-standing partnership in the Danish market. The purchase consideration was DKK 5.2 million and was paid in cash on July 1, 2022.

As a result of these acquisitions, Tobii Dynavox expects to both strengthen its product offering and come closer to users in the countries where these acquisitions are active, with the hope of giving more people a voice. Tobii Dynavox also expects to reduce costs through synergies.

The following tables summarize the purchase consideration paid and the preliminary fair value of assets acquired, and liabilities assumed for acquisitions completed by September 30, 2022. The fair value of assets acquired, and liabilities assumed is provisional pending final valuation.

AUDITOR'S REPORT

Tobii Dynavox AB (publ) corp. Reg. no. 556914-7563

apport

INTRODUCTION

We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) of Tobii Dynavox AB 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.

SCOPE OF 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.

CONCLUSION

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.
