FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

CEO´s Statement

Another solid quarter with key deals

Positive trend for our cloud solution Nimbra Edge with two new deals and increased usage by our existing customers.

Crister Fritzson, CEO Net Insight

Revenue for the second quarter amounted to SEK 110.1 million. Sales in the period increased by 17.1% compared to the corresponding quarter in the previous year (in comparable currencies 8.8%). Operating earnings totaled SEK 9.4 million, compared to SEK 8.6 million in Q2 2021. The growth was driven by our strategic initiatives of launching new products in our core Media business and the new growth area 5G synchronization. The sales increase is in line with the long-term financial target (10%) while the operating margin has not yet reached the longterm target (10%) due to investments for future growth.

We have continued to maintain a high level of service to our customers despite the tough component situation. Furthermore, we have managed the situation well by planning for the long term, adapting our products, and purchasing components on the spot market. We have increased inventories during the quarter to secure future deliveries, which also resulted in some increase in costs. In addition to an increase in capital tied up in inventory, cash flow has also been negatively impacted by the fact that a large portion of the quarter's revenue was invoiced at the end of the period. We expect uncertainty to persist throughout the rest of 2022.

In the first half of the year, we successfully compensated for increased component costs and we are continuously reviewing the possibility of adjusting our prices to manage further cost increases.

As the market has opened up, we have increased the level of activity with more in-person customer visits. We also participated in the annual NAB – National Association of Broadcasters – trade show in Las Vegas, USA in April.

Order with Three Sweden in 5G synchronization

On June 30, we secured an initial order with telecommunications operator Three Sweden for time synchronization of their 5G network. The order for our current Nimbra Time Node was placed after thorough and successful testing of their network. The solution is open and can be installed in Three Sweden's existing network, reducing the cost and complexity of the 5G rollout. It is also GPS-independent – a major competitive advantage in today's uncertain geopolitical environment.

We are proud that Three Sweden selected us and we look forward to continuing to develop this business. The parties have the intention to enter into a frame agreement for a broader rollout in Three's mobile network. This is our second strategic order after Türk Telekom and confirms our ability to commercialize our technical excellence.

Increased Nimbra Edge business

I am pleased to see an increase in the usage by our existing Nimbra Edge customers, and that the number of sales of the cloud solution continues to grow. Two new customers have contributed to this positive trend this quarter.

One of them is the leading French service provider Globecast, which has a large installation base of Nimbra products in its global media network and has now also installed our Nimbra Edge solution.

The other is our North American partner Stream Station, which provides contribution and distribution services to service providers and enterprise customers in the US and worldwide. Stream Station has chosen Nimbra Edge to offer additional media services to its customers.

Market in transition

The media and telecom industries are undergoing rapid transformation, which our new products support. However, uncertainties in the external environment mean that it will be difficult to assess the market for the remainder of the year.

I would like to thank all our employees for their great commitment and determination in the challenging situation the world is currently facing.

Solna Sweden, July 20, 2022

Crister Fritzson, CEO

EXTRAORDINARY EVENTS

Divested operations

The business area Resource Optimization (ScheduALL) was divested on March 31, 2021, and is reported as discontinued operations in this report. For more information on discontinued operations, see tables on page 12.

Comments and tables in this report have reference to continuing operations, unless otherwise specified.

REVENUES

Net sales in the second quarter of 2022 were SEK 110.1 (94.1) million, an increase of 17.1%. In comparable currencies, sales increased by 8.8%.

Net sales for the first six months of 2022 were SEK 219.8 (172.0) million, an increase of 27.8%. In comparable currencies, sales increased by 19.7%.

The continued positive revenue development is primarily driven by a continued strong development in our core business, where we expanded our customer offering with new products and services. The new growth area, 5G synchronization also contributes to the increase in revenue. During the quarter, SEK 4.3 million of the initial order from Türk Telekom and SEK 7.1 million of the NRE fee were recognized as revenue, a total of SEK 11.4 million. In the first half of the year, SEK 8.6 million of the initial order and SEK 14.1 million of the NRE fee were recognized as income, a total of SEK 22.7 million.

During the first six months, despite increased uncertainty in the world and continued challenges with shortage of components, we have been able to complete most of our deliveries. We also seen an effect of customers placing orders to secure deliveries for future needs. Uncertainty regarding the availability of components is expected to remain high for the remainder of 2022

EARNINGS

Gross profit for the second quarter was SEK 67.0 (57.6) million, an increase by 16.3%. The increase is primarily driven by the increase in revenue compared to last year. Gross profit included amortization of capitalized development expenditure of SEK -11.6 (-11.6) million. Gross margin excluding and including amortization of capitalized development expenditure was 71.3% (73.6%) and 60.8% (61.3%) respectively. Revenues in the second quarter of last year contained a higher proportion of service revenues (with a high gross margin) in connection with major events, which this year occurred during the first quarter.

Operating expenses in the second quarter of SEK -57.5 (-50.8) million, an increase by 13.1% compared to last year. However, operating expenses are in line with the previous quarter.

Sales and marketing expenses were SEK -31.4 (-24.8) million, and administration expenses to SEK -13.3 (-13.1). Development expenses were SEK -12.8 (-12.9) million and the total development expenditure, i.e. before capitalization, were SEK -36.0 (-26.3) million. The increase in sales and marketing costs as well as development expenses is attributable to the investment in 5G synchronization, which began in the last quarter of 2021.

Other operating income and expenses were SEK -0.1 (1.8) million, of which foreign exchange rate differences of SEK -0.2 (0.8) million.

Operating earnings were SEK 9.4 (8.6) million, corresponding to an operating margin of 8.5% (9.1%). Excluding foreign exchange rate differences of SEK -0.2 (0.8) million, operating profit amounted to SEK 9.5 (7.8) million. See also table Material profit and loss items on page 22.

The definition of EBITDA was changed from the beginning of the year, so that capitalization of development expenditures is no longer reversed. EBITDA 2 corresponds to previous years' definition, where the capitalization of development expenditures is reversed, see also pages 18-19. EBITDA and EBITDA-2 amounted to SEK 24.6 (24.0) million and SEK 1.4 (10.5) million, respectively, which corresponded to an EBITDA margin of 22.3% (25.5%) and an EBITDA-2 margin of 1.3% (11.2). The decrease in EBITDA-2 is primary attributable to the investment in 5G synchronization.

In the second quarter, net financial items amounted to SEK 4.5 (-1.0) million, of which foreign exchange rate differences of SEK 4.7 (-1.1) million.

Profit before tax was SEK 13.9 (7.5) million, and net income was SEK 11.8 (7.0) million, corresponding to a net margin of 10.7% (7.4%).

Target follow-up

Financial targets 2021-2025:

* an average annual organic growth of at least 10% * an average annual EBIT margin (operating margin) of at least 10%

Gross profit for the first six months was SEK 135.0 (102.7) million. The increase is primarily driven by the increase in revenue compared to last year. Gross profit included amortization of capitalized development expenditure of SEK -22.8 (-21.5) million. Gross margin excluding and including amortization of capitalized development expenditure was 71.8% (72.2%) and 61.4% (59.7%) respectively. Revenues in the second quarter of last year contained a higher proportion of service revenues (with a high gross margin) in connection with major events, which this year occurred during the first quarter.

Operating expenses in the second quarter of SEK -115.4 (-100.7) million increased as a result of the establishment within 5G synchronization and increased travel in connection with customer events, participation in trade fairs etc.

Other operating income and expenses were SEK 0.5 (9.6) million, of which foreign exchange rate differences of SEK 0.4 (8.4) million.

Operating earnings were SEK 20.1 (11.7) million, corresponding to an operating margin of 9.1% (6.8%). Excluding foreign exchange rate differences of SEK 0.4 (8.4) million, operating profit amounted to SEK 19.7 (3.7) million.

EBITDA and EBITDA-2 amounted to SEK 50.1 (40.9) million and SEK 6.4 (13.1) million, respectively, which corresponded to an EBITDA margin of 22.8% (23.8%) and an EBITDA-2 margin of 2.9% (7.6). The increase in EBITDA is primarily attributable to increased sales. The increased investments, attributable to the investment in 5G synchronization, lead to a decreased EBITDA-2.

For the first six months, net financial items amounted to SEK 4.4 (0.5) million, of which foreign exchange rate differences of SEK 4.6 (0.7) million.

Profit before tax was SEK 24.5 (12.2) million, and net income was SEK 19.9 (10.9) million, corresponding to a net margin of 9.1% (6.3%). Including Discontinued operations, net income was SEK 19.9 (-26.1) million, where the previous year includes capital loss on disposal for discontinued operations.

INVESTMENTS

Second quarter investments were SEK 24.2 (14.3) million, of which SEK 23.2 (13.5) million related to capitalization of expenditure for development. The increase in capitalized development expenditure relates to the investment in 5G synchronization, which began in the last quarter of 2021. Depreciation and amortization in the second quarter totaled SEK -15.2 (-15.4) million, of which SEK -11.6 (-11.6) million related to amortization of capitalized expenditure for development.

Investments during the first six months were SEK 45.6 (29.2) million, of which SEK 43.7 (27.8) million related to capitalization of expenditure for development. The increase in capitalized development expenditure relates to the investment in 5G synchronization, which began in the last quarter of 2021. Depreciation and amortization for the first six months totaled SEK -30.1 (-29.3) million, of which SEK -22.8 (-21.5) million related to amortization of capitalized expenditure for development.

At the end of the period, net value of capitalized expenditure for development was SEK 179.2 million, against SEK 158.3 million as of December 31, 2021.

Including discontinued operations, the investments for the first six months 2021 were SEK 32.4 million, of which SEK 31.0 million related to capitalization of expenditure for development. Depreciation and amortization during the first six months 2021 totaled SEK -31.6 million, of which SEK -22.9 million related to amortization of capitalized expenditure for development.

CASH FLOW AND FINANCIAL POSITION

From April 2021, only the continued operations (business area Media Networks) are included in the cash flow. Discontinued operations (business area Resource Optimization) was included in previous periods' cash flow and its impact on cash flow is presented in table on page 12.

Cash flow from operating activities in the second quarter was SEK 0.9 (32.9) million. Total cash flow was SEK -23.8 (16.7) million. The negative cash flow in the quarter is mainly caused by increased capital tied up in inventories and accounts receivable. The increase in inventory is a consequence of the fact that we have secured components with a longer lead time than normal due to the prevailing component shortage. The increase in accounts receivable is a consequence of that a large proportion of the quarter's invoicing took place late in the period.

Cash flow from operating activities for the first six months was SEK 59.7 (52,1) million. Total cash flow was SEK -24.8 (30.8) million. The above-mentioned increased capital tied up in inventories and accounts receivable also has a negative impact on the first six months cash flow. The cash flow effect of the investment in 5G synchronization, primarily in the form of increased investments, has been partially offset by the NRE fee and advances received from the customer.

During the first quarter, a major repurchase program of own shares was completed, which had negative affected on cash flow of SEK -36.7 (-) million. During the first quarter of 2021 included a net cash effect from the divestment of the Resource Optimization business area of SEK 15.1 million. More information about discontinued operations can be found in tables on page 12 and more information about the repurchase program can be found on page 14. Excluding the cash impact of the divestment of operations and repurchase of own shares, cash flow was SEK 11.7 (15.7) million.

Cash and cash equivalents were SEK 330.5 million at the end of the period, against SEK 354.9 million as of 31 December 2021.

Remaining tax loss carry-forwards for group companies amounted to SEK 59.2 million at the end of the period, compared to SEK 79.4 million as of December 31, 2021. Deferred tax has been recognized for the tax loss carry-forwards. For more information, see the section Tax on page 14.

Equity was SEK 632.3 million at the end of the period, against SEK 646.5 million as of 31 December 2021. The equity/assets ratio was 75.0%, against 78.0% as of 31 December 2021. The fact that equity decreased despite a positive result during the year is due to the repurchase of own shares. For information about warrants, share repurchases and share structure, see the section Contributed equity on page 14.

EMPLOYEES

The average number of employees and consultants at Net Insight during the second quarter and for the six months period was 177 (150) and 172 (151), respectively, of which 143 (122) and 140 (123), respectively, in the parent company Net Insight AB (publ).

PARENT COMPANY

Parent company net sales were SEK 110.1 (94.0) million in the second quarter, and net income was SEK 7.2 (1.7) million. The net financials included result from participation in group companies of SEK -4.3 (0.4) million, attributable to intra-group restructuring. In the first quarter, intra-group sales totaled SEK 0.0 (0.0) million, and intra-group purchases SEK -17.3 (-12.3) million.

For the six-month period, the parent company net sales were SEK 219.8 (171.9) million, and net income was SEK 14.7 (-65.6) million. The net financials included result from participation in group companies of SEK -4.3 (-69.8) million, attributable to intra-group restructuring and previous year attributable to capital loss from divestment of subsidiaries. For the six-month period, intra-group sales totaled SEK 0.0 (0.0) million, and intra-group purchases SEK -32.9 (-24.3) million.

Progress in the parent company in the second quarter and for the first six month largely shadowed Group progress as indicated above (except for the effect of the sale of operations/subsidiaries).

RISK AND SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS

Net Insight's operations and results of operations are affected by a number of external and internal factors. The company conducts a continuous process to identify all risks present, and to assess how each risk should be managed.

Primarily, the risks the company is exposed to are market-related risks (including competition, technological progress and political risks), operational risks (including product liability, intellectual property, disputes, customer dependency and contract risks) as well as financial and sustainability-related risks.

At the end of 2021, the current situation of component shortages has meant increased uncertainty. In 2021, we did not see any significant negative effects of this, but we see a continued uncertainty in 2022. The war in Ukraine that began in the first quarter has contributed to increased uncertainty and risk associated with operations and the implementation of events, especially in Ukraine, Russia and Belarus. The company's exposure to these markets is extremely limited and the decision to comply with the sanctions in force at the time of reporting is therefore not considered to have any material impact on the company's operations, assets or earnings. However, how the war develops is difficult to predict and the company makes ongoing evaluations of the need to take action.

Except for this, no additional critical risks and uncertainty factors, other than those reviewed in the Annual Report for 2021, arose during the period or are anticipated in 2022.

For a complete review of the company's risk and sensitivity analysis, and its risk management process, see pages 46-47, 48-49 and 67-68 of the Annual Report for 2021.

SEASONALITY

In the past three calendar years, average seasonality has been fairly modest. However, there is a certain variation in revenue between the quarters due to the fact that in some quarters there is a concentration of large business.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

This Interim Report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and applicable regulations of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The Interim Report of the parent company complies with chapter 9 of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, Interim Financial Reporting, and RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities.

Disclosures in accordance with IAS 34 are presented in the interim financial statements and the associated notes as well as elsewhere in the interim financial report.

There are no new or amended International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) that have had a material impact on the Company's financial reporting.

The same accounting principles and basis of calculation as those used in the latest Annual Report have been applied to the group and parent company. For a description of these accounting principles, please refer to the Annual Report for 2021.

The preparation of the Interim Report requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the company's earnings and position and information presented generally. Estimates and judgements are continually 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 these estimates and assumptions, please refer to the Annual Report for 2021.

Figures in brackets in this report refer to comparison with the corresponding period or date in the previous year, if not stated otherwise. Divergences due to rounding may occur in this report.

TAX

The group reported tax of total SEK -2.1 (-0.6) million for the period April–June 2022, corresponds to an effective tax rate of -15.3 (-7.6). For the period January–June 2022, the group reported tax of total SEK -4.5 (-1.3) million of which SEK -4.5 (-1.3) million relates to continuing operations. Reported tax corresponds to an effective tax rate of -18.5 (5.0) percent and -18.5 (10.8) percent, respectively. In 2021, the group recognized a capital loss/gain from discontinued operations of SEK -35.9 million, which is a non-taxable income. The effective tax rate is also affected by the relative effects of foreign tax rates and temporary differences.

Remaining tax loss carry-forwards for group companies amounted to SEK 59.2 million at the end of the period, compared to SEK 79.4 million as of December 31, 2021. Deferred tax has been recognized for the tax loss carry-forwards.

CONTRIBUTED EQUITY

The 2022 AGM resolved to authorize the board of directors to resolve to repurchase, on one or several occasions until the next annual general meeting, as many own shares as may be purchased without the company's holding at any time exceeding ten per cent of the total number of shares in the company. Further, the AGM resolved to authorize the board of directors to resolve on one or several occasions until the next annual general meeting, to transfer (sell) own shares.

At the Board meeting on July 19, the board of Directors of Net Insight AB decided to utilize the repurchase mandate given at the AGM on May 13, 2022, and begin repurchasing own shares. The repurchase program will commence in on July 22, 2022, and last until the AGM on May 12, 2023, and will amount to maximum SEK 70 million.

During January-March 2022, the parent company acquired 8,550,000 of its own class B shares through purchases on Nasdaq Stockholm for a total amount of SEK 36.7 million, which also corresponds to a total of repurchased shares during the year.

At the end of the reporting period, the parent company had a total of 21,175,000 of its own class B shares, at an average cost of SEK 4.81 per share and with a par value of SEK 0.04 per share. The shares are held as own shares. The parent company has the right to reissue these shares at a later date.

The 2022 AGM resolved that the company's share capital shall be reduced by SEK 847,000 for allocation to unrestricted equity through cancellation of 21,175,000 own B shares held by the company.

All shares issued by the parent company were fully paid. The case is ongoing with the Swedish Companies Registration Office.

In accordance with the warrant program approved by the 2022 Annual General Meeting, management and key personnel in June acquired a total of 1,755,000 warrants for a market premium of a total of SEK 1,456,650. The warrants have a vesting period of three years, after which the holder has the right to exercise the warrants for subscription of B shares in the parent company for a period of three months at an exercise price of SEK 5.1.

In total, the Company has three ongoing warrant programs with a total of 4,810,000 warrants. When calculating earnings per share, a dilution effect arises when the average price for the period exceeds the exercise price for the warrants. For more information about the programs and the accounting principles, see Note 7 on page 77 in the 2021 Annual Report.
