Formpipe ends the year strong. Above all, it is gratifying to continue with a good portion of new sales in the private sector. During the quarter, Lasernet's ACV for SaaS amounted to as much as SEK 4.4 million, before a negative exchange rate adjustment of SEK 2.1 million that the strengthened Swedish krona entailed when recalculating the contract stock (ARR). As approximately 80% of our SaaS contracts are in foreign currency, the ARR value fluctuates over time, which is why we will in future report the currency effect separately in calculations of ACV / ARR.
In the public sector, we continue to note the effects of the ongoing pandemic. Our customers continue to work remotely and postpone business improvement and upgrade projects. This provides a slowing effect for new sales of both products and delivery assignments. Despite this, we are making a stable quarter in both the Danish
and Swedish public sectors and show increased profitability for the full year compared with the previous year, a statement of strength that shows our organization's adaptability and perseverance in prevailing conditions.
Overall, Formpipe is making a good 2020 with good profitability, a stable cash flow and a successful acquisition that has contributed to our strategic development. Our business model with a high proportion of recurring revenues creates a good platform for continued growth. In light of this, the Board proposes an increase in the dividend by 10% to SEK 0.66 (SEK 0.60) per share.
Our business rests on two pillars with strong offers to customers in both the public and private sectors.

We have a strong commitment to value-generating digitalization of the public sector. For many years, in a market-leading position, we have delivered systems for automated processes for document and case management. Operations in the public sector form a foundation in our continued growth journey and in cooperation and co-creation with our customers, we broaden our offering in the market.
We are also a well-established player in the private sector, primarily through the product Lasernet, which is often implemented as an add-on to the successful ERP system Microsoft Dynamics. With an average annual sales growth exceeding 12 percent since 2016, Lasernet is an important part of Formpipe's continued growth journey. In August 2020, we completed the acquisition of the software company EFS Technology. The acquisition strengthens our ability to sell Lasernet as an add-on to Temenos' business systems, which has a prominent position among players in the financial sector.
The global market for Content Services amounts to more than USD 11 billion and, according to Gartner, is expected to grow by an average of 10 percent per year (CAGR) 2020-2024. Demand for software as a service, SaaS, is steadily increasing and is forecasted to account for about 60 percent of global software sales by 2024. Formpipe is well positioned to take advantage of the strong underlying market growth through a welldeveloped network of certified partners complemented by its own delivery organization. From 2017, Formpipe's average annual growth rate for SaaS revenues has been 55 percent, a testament to our ability to grow significantly faster than the market.
More than 60 percent of our total sales consist of recurring revenues, i.e. SaaS revenues and support and maintenance revenues for traditional software licenses. Recurring revenues has grown by more than 9 percent per year since 2016 and provides a stable basis for new investments in growth.
With a stable and profitable business for the public sector, a strong organization with high competence and high-quality products that meet increased demand as digitalization progresses, we now see significant opportunities to accelerate our growth.
Formpipe´s new long-term financial targets:
Sales growth is mainly expected to be organic with complementary strategic acquisitions.
Formpipe's market-leading position in Content Services, a well-balanced customer base from both the public and private sectors and a strong history of delivering good profitability with a high direct return, create excellent conditions for taking the next step in development. We benefit from the continued rapid transition to SaaS in both the private and public sectors. We see a significant expansion potential for the sale of Lasernet, driven both by our successful collaboration with Microsoft and by a strengthened position as a supplier to Temenos through the acquisition of EFS Technology.
Investments in growth will primarily take place through a capacity building with a focus on the USA and Europe. The build-up phase provides a not insignificant shortterm negative margin impact before we reach the goals above.
I look forward to increasing the pace of our expansion in the coming years. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all customers, employees, partners and shareholders for their extraordinary efforts during the unusual year that has passed. I look forward with confidence to our continued journey with you.
Christian Sundin, CEO Formpipe
Data and information become more and more important for the financial development: it is the foundation for many new products and services, which leads to productivity and resource efficiency gains in all sectors of the economy. Being able to take advantage of the possibilities of digitalization has become one of the most important issues of our time. The benefits of being able to collect, process and present data are extensive.
Formpipe's products are used to create, store, distribute, automate, relocate, archive and manage information, data and metadata regarding e.g. scanned documents, email, reports, records, business documents or information from other source systems.
The goal is to be able to refine and analyze content from one or more sources, to thereby provide the right insights by the right people receiving relevant information when they need it. It is in the Content Services (previously Enterprise Content Management) market that Formpipe has grown to become a market leader in the public sector and a strong challenger in the private sector where we digitalize and streamline customer communication in sectors such as retail, finance and manufacturing.
The growth in the market is fueled in large part by the organizational and corporate-wide need to streamline operations and meet legal requirements and regulations. To be able to get the value out of the collective amount of information at companies and organizations, applications and services are needed – in order to securely – collaborate, search, analyze, process and distribute data and content. Growth drivers tend to gain strength as the amount of data and information increases.
Gartner's forecast for the global market is an average annual growth (CAGR) of 10 percent in 2020-2024. The Content Services market is estimated to be USD 11 billion1 in system revenue in 2020.
An important part of the change of the Content Services market is also that the development is moving increasingly towards cloud-based solutions, where the customers pay for what is used and where costs for development, operations, maintenance, upgrade and support are included in the running agreement. The transition to SaaS is taking place very quickly now and Gartner estimates that the SaaS revenues will reach up to 60 per cent of the total sales of software in 20242 .
This development is well in line with Formpipe's reality where growing numbers of the Company's customers choose to shift to Formpipe's cloud services for the standard products and with the Company's development of service modules that can process information both from Formpipe's existing systems and other systems. From 2017 Formpipe has had an average annual SaaS revenues growth of 55 percent.
The global ERP software market is estimated to reach USD 50 billion in 20243 . As cloud solutions are becoming increasingly accepted due to their scalability, reliability and flexibility, many ERP customers are changing their views on their internal IT architecture. This shift, where customers see the benefits of moving to the cloud, opens up new opportunities for Formpipe. Lasernet is an addon to ERP systems and enables business documents to be delivered in exactly the format and layout desired. Lasernet continues its strong growth internationally, a positive development that is primarily a result of Formpipe's close collaboration with Microsoft and their offering in the cloud (Azure) regarding Microsoft Dynamics. Lasernet is a natural add-on to Dynamics and improves the customer experience through efficient document management.
Through the acquisition of EFS, Formpipe has further strengthened its position in this area as EFS product Autoform DM together with Lasernet is a valuable add-on to business systems from Temenos, a well-established and increasingly strong system supplier to the financial sector.
We see an increased opportunity to recruit coveted expertise in the pandemic. At the same time, we see continued good development for Lasernet. One assessment is that the market may have a weaker development, something that has not yet come true. The private sector is developing well, but we are humble for the future and the development of the pandemic.
In the Private business area, new sales are largely driven by our partners selling the product Lasernet as part of implementation projects regarding ERP systems, such as Microsoft Dynamics, etc. At present, demand is good, but if the pandemic is prolonged, the risk increases that new ERP investments are pushed into the future.
When the pandemic is over, the possible deferred ERP investments are estimated to have created a pent-up need with a demand that is higher than normal at that stage.
Formpipe has a leading market position in the public sector in both Sweden and Denmark. For many years, we have delivered systems for automated processes for case and document management.
In the Swedish public sector, Formpipe has a stable customer base in municipalities, regions and authorities. In the public sector Sweden, up to SEK 45 billion is invested in IT every year4. The Swedish government's ambition is for state authorities, municipalities and regions to be the best in the world at using the opportunities of digitalization to create an efficient public sector – a simpler everyday life for individuals and companies, more jobs and increased welfare. Digital solutions and automation are an important component for meeting the growing welfare needs and at the same time increasing the service to the citizens.
Formpipe is also a leading supplier of information management software in the Danish public sector. Digital solutions and automation create opportunities to meet the growing welfare needs and at the same time increase the service to the citizens.

The employers' organization Dansk Industri believes that a modernization and digitalization of the public sector can free up DKK 20 billion by 20255 . Money that can then be returned to the public sector and help increase the level of service.
The National Agency for Public Procurement in Sweden is clear in its message to the public sector in Sweden:
In practice, however, some customers are judged to be in need of re-planning and postpone projects for practical or technical reasons. There is also reason to believe that, for these practical reasons, fewer new procurements will be initiated than would otherwise have been expected.
In Denmark, the government calls on public organizations to act as the stable purchasing power in society and to help private companies get through the economic turmoil. Despite this, we see that some customers also need re-planning and postponing projects for practical or technical reasons.
