Comments from the CEO

We delivered a solid quarter with organic growth of 26 percent, despite continued pandemic-related headwinds and logistics disruptions. Following six quarters of challenges to Covid, we are seeing a steadily improving business climate, and I dare to say that we have turned the page and returned to growth mode in both Tobii remainco and Tobii Dynavox. The spin-off and intended listing of Tobii Dynavox around year-end is progressing according to plan. All things considered, both companies are entering this new chapter with strong momentum.

Tobii Dynavox´s revenue increased by 27 percent organically. Shipments delayed during the first half of 2021, were for the most part delivered in the third quarter. At the end of September, we experienced renewed disruptions due to a hold-up in a US logistics terminal, causing a twoweek delay in delivering finished products to the US market. Adjusted for the supply chain disruptions, organic growth would be approximately 7%, both for the third quarter and the yearto-date.

Tobii Dynavox is experiencing an unusually strong influx of reimbursement applications which bodes well for the coming quarters; encouraging given that meeting users and prescribers continues to be challenging.

Tobii Dynavox continues its relentless efforts to improve the lives of millions through innovations, ever improving and expanding its product portfolio. The team is doing a fantastic job. Their many compelling projects and the strong underlying business trends ensure that I am highly enthusiastic about Tobii Dynavox´s future as a standalone listed company.

Revenue for Tobii remainco increased by 26 percent organically. The growth was broad-based across most of our portfolio. Revenue for Tobii remainco now exceeds pre-pandemic, Q3-2019, levels. I am pleased with this figure given that challenges remain linked to the pandemic and budgetary constraints for universities in China.

In the third quarter, we saw solid improvements in the business environment, which is evident through a return of demand from the scientific community and eight design wins in our OEM business. The design wins include an additional reading assessment partner and new VR headsets with two manufacturers; one of which is releasing a next-generation high-end consumer headset natively-equipped with eye tracking.

Tobii continues to invest in technology leadership and in building strong sustainable businesses in multiple attractive growth markets. We are on the right track and we see very good opportunities to drive high growth for many years to come.

Listing of Tobii Dynavox and the organizational merger of Tobii Pro and Tobii Tech are on track

The spin-off process of Tobii Dynavox is going according to plan with its listing on Nasdaq Stockholm set for around the end of 2021. The new board of Tobii Dynavox is operational, and on October 25, 2021, at an extraordinary general meeting, the distribution in kind of Tobii Dynavox was formally approved.

As part of this process, we have been working on the new capital structure of Tobii Dynavox and Tobii remainco. After the quarter end, we concluded an early redemption of our bond loan and have put bank loans on more attractive terms in place for Tobii Dynavox.

The organizational merger of Tobii Pro and Tobii Tech has been completed and operations have been running in the new structure since the start of Q3 2021.The teams are doing a fantastic job and have shown a huge commitment to make the split and the merger a success. It is energizing to see our organizations form and begin new journeys as more agile and empowered standalone entities.

To conclude, the third quarter of 2021 showed a clear return to growth across the Group. We are aware of the current unpredictability of supply chains and pandemic effects, however, based on a strong performance in the quarter and an improvement in the business environment, I am optimistic about the future for both companies.

The Parent Company

The Group's Parent Company, Tobii AB (publ), has primarily focused on Group-wide services such as overarching management, business and funding, legal affairs, and IT as of January 1, 2019. The number of employees in the Parent Company is approximately 85.

Tobii's bond financing with a total limit of SEK 600 million, of which SEK 450 million has been issued, originally had maturity date in February 2022. The Company has leveraged its right to early voluntary redemption of the bond. The bond was fully redeemed on October 21, 2021, and is, therefore, a current liability on September 30, 2021.

On October 6, 2020, which is in the fourth quarter of 2020, Tobii sold certain subsidiaries, collectively referred to as Smartbox, to an external buyer. The transaction entailed selling all shares in two foreign subsidiaries, which were owned by the Parent Company Tobii AB as of September 30, 2020. Capital gains from the divestment had a positive impact on net financial income for the year 2020 of SEK 10 million.

The Parent Company's revenue during the third quarter totaled SEK 36 million (30) and the operating loss was SEK -1 million (-5). At the end of the period, the Parent Company had SEK 51 million (62) in cash and cash equivalents

CONDENSED PARENT COMPANY BALANCE SHEET

Notes

Not 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, 2021, or later. These amendments have not had a material impact on the financial statements

Not 2. Business combinations

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 within 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.

The purchase price for the company is shown in the table below. The acquisition analysis is preliminary pending final valuation of the acquired assets and liabilities.

The total consideration for the acquired net assets amounted to EUR 3.6 million. A cash payment of EUR 1.9 million was paid at

acquisition date. The agreed upon contingent consideration relates to performance over the coming five years. The maximum contingent consideration amounts to EUR 1.7 million. Tobii's management assesses that the fair value of the contingent consideration is EUR 1.7 million.

Goodwill of SEK 32 million is reported within Tobii remainco and refers to the future potential of the company's technology and products.

Revenues from the Phasya business during the period from acquisition up to and including September 30, 2021, amounted to SEK 0 million and operating profit for the same period was SEK -1 million. If the acquisition had taken place on January 1, 2021, the company would have contributed revenue of SEK 1 million and operating profit of SEK -3 million for the nine-month period.

Transaction costs incurred for the acquisition amounted to approximately SEK 1 million and are included in administrative expenses in the consolidated income statement.

The Group 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 the Group'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. Receivables for contingent consideration relate in their entirety to the sale of Smartbox.

IMPAIRMENT OF GOODWILL

Impairment testing for goodwill was carried out at the end of the 2020 financial year, without any need for impairment being identified.

Not 4. Pledged assets and contingent liabilities

On February 10, 2020, Tobii announced a subsequent issuance of senior covered bonds of SEK 150 million under its SEK 600 million loan facility, with maturity in February 2022. On February 14, 2019, Tobii announced the first issuance of SEK 300 million within the same loan framework. The total amount of outstanding bonds is thus SEK 450 million. The Parent Company Tobii AB is the issuer of the bond loan. The bonds issued in accordance with the Bond Loan are secured by collateral in shares in Tobii Dynavox AB, Tobii Pro AB and Tobii Tech AB.

Other information

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 greater detail in the risk section on page 42 in the Directors' Report and in note 3 in Tobii's 2020 Annual Report. Tobii is of the opinion that this risk description remains correct.

TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

No transactions have occurred between Tobii and related parties that have materially affected the Company's position and earnings.

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 120 of the 2020 annual report.

In 2020 Tobii introduced the new growth measure organic growth, defined as change in revenue adjusted for change due to currency and, where applicable, structural changes. At group level, structural

CHANGED PRESENTATION OF COST OF SERVICES IN TOBII REMAINCO

Previously, non-recurring revenue has been charged with cost of services sold on a flat-rate basis. From Q1 2021, the reporting has been changed, to enhance consistency. The change has no effect on operating profit, but results in a higher gross profit and higher R&D costs.

changes are defined as acquisitions or disposals of businesses, and at the division level, it may also include structural changes between divisions. Phasya SA was acquired in the current period, however the acquisition has no effect on structural change. No structural change occurred in comparative periods.

Auditor's report

Tobii AB (publ) företagsnummer 556613-9654

Introduction

We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) of Tobii AB (publ) ("the Parent Company") and its subsidiaries (together "the Group") as of 30 September 2021 and the nine-month period then ended. The board of directors and the CEO are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the condensed 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.
