Comments from the CEO

The fourth quarter was eventful and intense, with several historic milestones for the company. At the same time, the pandemic had a temporary, but clearly negative, impact on business and earnings. Demand for our products remains significant. We are confident that we can deliver on our financial targets.

In 2021, the pandemic had a significant negative impact on our business, which was further exacerbated in the fourth quarter by the increased restrictions. In particular, the increased spread of the pandemic meant that our ability to meet with our customers, prescribers and users was again severely limited. Face-to-face meetings, often in our user's own home, is important in our world – and remains heavily restricted compared to before. Some of our staff have tested positive or had to be isolated, while logistics and the component shortage continued to be affected. To not have enough products to meet the demand is very frustrating, specifically for our users and customers.

As a result, our revenue grew by a relatively modest 3% organically. However, it is important to point out that Tobii Dynavox, has managed to maintain the same revenue level compared the year before the pandemic despite the major challenges. Our most important business, assistive technology for communication in North America, continued to perform well, while the impact on our special education products and other markets was much larger. Furthermore, we saw an unusually strong increase in new insurance applications related to our products during full-year 2021, which bodes well for our growth in 2022. Overall, we estimate that our underlying business volume for assistive technology for communication in North America grew by over 10% for the full year.

THREE KEY EVENTS MARKED THE QUARTER

The spin-off of Tobii Dynavox as an independent listed company means that we free up a lot of energy within the organization which gives us better conditions to continue drive the industry forward as the clear market leader with the most complete offering of solutions for our customers.

We are extremely proud of the Apple-based communication device "TD Pilot", which was launched in mid-November. The medically classified device enables people with disabilities to control an iPad with their eyes. The market response has been overwhelmingly positive. As this assistive device is primarily sold on a prescription basis, it will take until the middle of the first half of the year before sales start in earnest.

At the end of October, we signed an agreement to acquire Acapela Group, headquartered in Belgium, a global provider of synthetic voice and AI-driven voice synthesis technology. The company has been an important partner to us for many years. The merger further deepens this relationship, providing great opportunities to achieve new, important solutions for our users. The acquisition fits well with our focus on being an innovative driving force in assistive technology for communication. The deal is subject to customary regulatory approvals, which we expect to be completed in the beginning of 2022.

Despite the short-term challenges accompanying the rising case rates, we continue to work on long-term growth. One such initiative is customer satisfaction, which is at high levels.

LOW MARKET PENETRATION MEANS HIGH GROWTH POTENTIAL

We are optimistic about our long-term business potential, especially with such an underpenetrated market. Only two percent of those diagnosed annually are estimated to have access to assistive technology for communication, primarily because of low awareness and inadequate reimbursement solutions. Our education initiatives are therefore a critical factor in raising awareness of our solutions and these continue with unwavering commitment. Although it will take some time to recover from the negative effects of the pandemic, we are confident that we can deliver on our long-term financial targets.

In conclusion, I would like to underscore the inherent strength of the organization. We are passionate about our users and are constantly working to improve our products and services to make their lives easier. We look forward to an exciting and eventful 2022.

Comments on the Group's performance

QUARTER OCTOBER-DECEMBER

Revenue

Consolidated revenue was SEK 245 million (233), corresponding to organic growth of 3%. Currency movements had a positive impact of 2% on revenue. Delivery and logistics delays in earlier quarters of 2021 caused some revenue to be postponed to the fourth quarter, which are estimated to have positively impacted revenue for the quarter by SEK 14 million. At the same time, delivery and logistics-related delays at the end of the quarter caused some revenue to be postponed to the first quarter of 2022, which negatively impacted revenue by approximately SEK 10 million. Adjusted for the above effects, underlying organic growth would have been around 1%.

Performance

Gross profit amounted to SEK 157 million (156), corresponding to a gross margin of 64% (67%). The margin decline was attributable in part to non-recurring items that together amounted to SEK 4 million, and in part to a pandemic-related increase in costs for components and shipping.

Operating profit amounted to SEK 13 million (34) and the operating margin was 5% (15%). Delayed deliveries from earlier quarters in 2021 had a positive impact on operating profit of approximately SEK 11 million. The postponement of certain revenue to the first quarter of 2022 due to delivery and logistics-related delays is estimated to have negatively impacted the quarter by approximately SEK 8 million. Non-recurring costs related to the spin-off from Tobii AB also had a negative impact on earnings of approximately SEK 5 million, as did M&A costs of SEK 2 million.

Research and development expenses had a negative impact on operating profit of SEK 7 million for the quarter compared with the corresponding quarter last year, mainly related to new products. Investments relate to the development of proprietary products, the majority of which involve software.

The comparative period had lower costs due to COVID-19-related government grants of approximately SEK 4 million, as well as somewhat lower activity because of the pandemic, such as travel, events, etc.

Profit before tax was SEK 9 million (29). Financial items amounted to SEK -5 million (-5) and mainly consisted of interest on external loans.

Tax for the period amounted to SEK -3 million (39), of which SEK -3 million (40) relates to deferred tax. The positive tax effects from the previous year are related to the capitalization of the tax asset in the US in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Profit for the period was SEK 5 million (68). Basic earnings per share were SEK 0.05 (0.68) and diluted earnings per share were SEK 0.05 (0.68).

Currency effects

Higher exchange rates, primarily USD/SEK, impacted revenue by SEK 5 million and operating profit positive by SEK 6 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 15 million (55). Change in working capital amounted to SEK 20 million (17).

Cash flow from investing activities amounted to SEK -308 million (22), of which SEK -21 million (-18) was capitalization of R&D costs. Investments also include SEK -280 million related to the license agreement signed in 2021 with Tobii, concerning intangible assets that give the company the right to use Tobii in combination with Tobii Dynavox, as well as the transfer of certain trademarks over from Tobii AB. A new loan of SEK 550 million from Swedbank and a shareholder contribution from Tobii AB of SEK 75 million strengthened the cash flow from financing activities during the period. These funds were used to pay Tobii AB for the license agreement and previous loans. Cash flow for the period was SEK 86 million (59).

At the end of the quarter, the Group had cash and cash equivalents of SEK 197 million (173). Consolidated net debt totaled SEK 409 million (243), including SEK 59 million (53) in IFRS 16 finance leases.

Organization

The number of employees converted to full-time equivalents at the close of the period was 469 (464).

PERIOD: JANUARY - DECEMBER

Revenue

Consolidated revenue was SEK 872 million (895), corresponding to organic growth of 0%. Currency movements had a negative impact of 3% on revenue. Delivery and logistics-related delays are estimated to have deferred revenue of approximately SEK 10 million to the following year. Adjusted for these factors, organic growth would have been 2%.

Performance

Consolidated gross profit amounted to SEK 571 million (592), corresponding to a gross margin of 65% (66%). The margin decline was partly explained by increased pandemic-related costs for components and shipping of approximately SEK 10 million, as well as non-recurring costs of SEK 2 million.

Operating profit fell to SEK 60 million (127) and the operating margin was 7% (14%). The postponement of certain revenue to the next year, due to delivery and logistics-related delays, is estimated to have negatively impacted operating profit by approximately SEK 8 million. Non-recurring costs related to the spin-off from Tobii AB also had a negative impact on earnings of approximately SEK 8 million. Higher research and development costs related to new products also affected performance, as did lower capitalization and higher depreciation and amortization compared with the previous year, related to the timing of various product launches. The difference compared with the previous year was SEK 9 million net, mainly related to the roll-out of a new generation of the Boardmaker product, which began at the end of 2020. Investments relate to the development of proprietary products, mainly software.

The comparative period had lower costs due to COVID-19-related government grants and working time reductions of about SEK 22 million.

Profit before tax was SEK 41 million (103). Financial items amounted to SEK -20 million (-24) and mainly consisted of interest on external loans.

Tax for the period amounted to SEK -11 (26) million, of which SEK -6 (40) million relates to deferred tax. The positive tax effects for the previous year are related to the capitalization of deferred tax assets in the US. Profit for the period was SEK 30 million (130); basic earnings per share were SEK 0.30 (1.30), while diluted earnings per share were SEK 0.30 (1.30).

Currency effects

Lower exchange rates for USD/SEK and EURO/SEK affected revenue by SEK -27 million and operating profit positive by SEK 7 million compared to last year.

These funds were used to pay Tobii AB for the license agreement and previous loans. Cash flow for the period was SEK 19 million (131).

At the end of the year, the Group had cash and cash equivalents of SEK 197 million (173). Consolidated net debt totaled SEK 409 million (243), including SEK 59 million (53) in IFRS 16 finance leases.

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 prospectus. The accounting policies applied are in effect in all periods and are consistent with the accounting policies applied in the preparation of the prospectus "Admission to trading of the common shares in Tobii Dynavox AB (publ) on Nasdaq Stockholm," note 2.

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 most recent annual report of Tobii Dynavox AB has been prepared in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and the Swedish Financial Accounting Standards Council's standard BFNAR 2012:1 Annual Report and Consolidated Financial Statements (K3).

Note 2. Formation of the Group

In April 2021, Tobii's Board of Directors announced its intention to propose to the Extraordinary General Meeting to resolve on a distribution of all common shares in the wholly owned subsidiary Tobii Dynavox to the common shareholders of Tobii with subsequent stock exchange listing. On October 25, 2021, Tobii's Extraordinary General Meeting resolved in accordance with the Board's proposal. The first day of trading in Tobii Dynavox ordinary shares on Nasdaq Stockholm was December 9, 2021.

The formation of the Tobii Dynavox Group involves transactions between entities under common control through Tobii AB. 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. In 2021, Tobii Dynavox started companies in Germany and China. The Tobii Dynavox segment activities of the Tobii Group companies in Germany and China were transferred to these newly established companies in the autumn of 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. 

Note 3. 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 Dynavox in the U.S. is under the supervisory control of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)). The Group's risks and risk management are described in more detail in the risk section on page 10 of the prospectus and in note 3 of the prospectus.

Note 4. 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 5. Transactions with related parties

Purchases and sales of services and products between Tobii Dynavox and Tobii and its subsidiaries were considered related party transactions until December 9, 2021

Purchases from the Tobii Group relate to eye-tracking devices that are integrated into the Group's products. The Group has also purchased services from the Tobii Group, such as IT, logistics and purchasing, as well as some administrative services. The pricing for these services corresponds to what would have applied if the Group had performed them in-house.

Tobii Dynavox has entered into two major agreements with Tobii AB, a supplier agreement giving the Company the right to purchase eye tracking devices from Tobii AB and an intellectual property license agreement giving the Company the right to use Tobii in combination with Tobii Dynavox and the transfer of certain trademarks from Tobii AB. Tobii Dynavox entered into a perpetual license agreement with Tobii AB, for a one-time fee of SEK 280 million. This agreement was signed in the third quarter and the transaction took place in the fourth quarter.

Note 6. Sustainability information

The Group's work on sustainability is described in more detail in the Sustainability agenda section on page 42 of the prospectus.
