*) Previous years was not restated at the transition to IFRS 16. To make the comparison easier, the current income statement, balance sheet and EBITDA have been recalculated in accordance to last year's accounting policies on page 12.
The quarter was dominated by several new product launches, continued success for Sye and streamlining. Revenues of SEK 111 million were in line with the previous year. Operating earnings excluding items affecting comparability totaled SEK -6 million.
As previously communicated, we have implemented a number of measures aimed at improving profitability and efficiency. At the beginning of the quarter, we announced organizational changes and a savings program. The savings program, which generates an annual cost saving of some SEK 25 million, has now largely been completed, and gave rise to non-recurring costs burdening operating earnings with some SEK -6 million in the quarter. The continued restructuring mainly relates to moving closer to customers and developing our product portfolios to ensure competitiveness.
In the quarter, SVT (Swedish national TV) carried out the world's largest remote TV production in connection with the Alpine World Ski Championships in Åre and the Biathlon World Championships in Östersund, both in Sweden. Production was enabled by Net Insight's staff and technology, including Nimbra 1060. Remote production normally uses 6-24 cameras. The Alpine World Ski Championships in Åre was a more demanding event, with close to 80 cameras broadcasting to around 700 million viewers around the world. This meant that SVT and Net Insight have set a new benchmark in remote production for major sporting events. SVT and Net Insight have collaborated on remote production for a number of years, and while this new production method certainly has a bright future, we need to have respect for the time it will take broadcasters to adopt the new working methods. Other positive Nimbra news in the quarter included a major US broadcaster choosing to continue to upgrade its national studio network based on Nimbra 1060, Nimbra being selected for the Pan American Games in Peru, and by LinkedIn Corp for remote production. I would also like to highlight Nimbra Edge, a cloud-based live media transport solution launched at the annual NAB trade show in Las Vegas at the beginning of April.
In February, we signed a key agreement relating to Sye with a US Fortune 500 company for their live video streaming service. The customer roll-out of Sye has started, albeit on a limited scale and does not yet affect revenue. This contract made a significant impression on the market, and we have seen significant interest in Sye from several very interesting operators. Volumes for the Sye Streaming Service, where the largest customer is the live quiz app Primetime, have increased significantly since launch a year ago. The Primetime concept, based on Sye, has now been licensed to five countries. Securing the Fortune 500 agreement and the Primetime successes are clear evidence that Sye provides world-class performance advantages within a highly relevant area of the media market place.
There is a possibility to achieve a good return on an increased investment in order to approach a larger number of customers faster.
The previously communicated modernization of the ScheduALL solution continued at a high pace. The modernization process, which is based on an evolutionary process of adding cloud services as well as mobile, social and analytics functionality, was introduced to selected customers in the quarter. The response has been very positive to date, with initial launch taking place at the NAB show. The roll-out will start from year end.
Revenues in the quarter totaled SEK 111 million, in line with the previous year. Operating earnings excluding items affecting comparability totaled SEK -6 million. Sye contributed SEK -10 million, generating operating earnings excluding Sye and items affecting comparability of a positive SEK 4 million.
My main impressions from the recently concluded NAB Show include positive customer feedback and rapid technological progress, generating both opportunities and challenges for Net Insight. To conclude, this was an eventful quarter where we completed measures aimed at improving profitability, streamlining operations and generating scope for continued investments.
Solna, April 25, 2019 Henrik Sund, CEO
Net sales in the first quarter of 2019 were SEK 111.3 (110.5) million, in line with the corresponding quarter of the previous year. In comparable currencies, sales decreased by -6.8%.
From 1 January 2019, Net Insight reports a single segment. To improve transparency, revenues are now reported by nature of income (hardware, software, support and services), product group (Nimbra, ScheduALL, Sye), and region (Western Europe, Americas, Rest of World). For more information see table on page 8.
Hardware revenues only refer to the Nimbra product group. Nimbra solutions normally consist of hardware, software and support. In some cases, customers with existing software licenses purchase hardware as a standalone solution.
Software revenues refer to all product groups: Nimbra, ScheduALL and Sye. For Nimbra and ScheduALL, software revenues are normally derived from license sales, and for Sye also from SaaS (Software as a Service).
Support and services refer to all product groups and include and includes support, maintenance, training and professional services.
Hardware revenues increased by 14%, mainly derived from Nimbra 600 and Nimbra 1060. Software revenues decreased by -30%, mainly relating to Nimbra, which was offset by increased hardware sales. Software revenues also decreased slightly for ScheduALL. Revenues from Sye remained modest but slightly offset other reductions in software revenues.
Revenues from support and services increased by 11%, mainly relating to Nimbra support.
Revenues from Nimbra increased slightly, up 2%. The product mix differs from the comparative period, with some increase in more recent product lines. License sales for ScheduALL were weak in the quarter, and revenues decreased by -19%. Sye revenues were SEK 2.7 million (-).
Revenues by region are defined by the location of the recipient of the product/services. Nimbra revenues are largely driven by events, and can therefore vary significantly by region over time. ScheduALL revenues have a significantly higher proportion of repeat sales in the form of support, and therefore vary less by region over time.
The largest changes by region in the first quarter related to Nimbra and a –36% decrease for Rest of World, offset by a 38% increase for Americas due to factors including the Pan American Games.
Gross profit was SEK 64.9 (65.9) million, largely in line with the corresponding quarter of the previous year. Gross margin of 58.3 % (59.6) decreased slightly as a result of a changed product mix with a lower share of software sales.
Gross profit included amortization of capitalized development expenditure of SEK -14.7 (-15.2) million and SEK -0.4 (-) million in cost for restructuring. Gross margin excluding amortization of capitalized development expenditure was 71.5 % (73.4).
Operating expenses in the first quarter of SEK 77.3 (64.4) million were SEK 12.9 million higher compared to the corresponding period of the previous year. The increase was mainly due to non-recurring costs relating to savings programs, increased development expenditure resulting from increased development expenses and a lower rate of capitalization and exchange rate effects. Sales and marketing expenses of SEK –38.9 (-40.1) million included cost for restructuring of SEK –3.8 (-) million. Administration expenses of SEK –18.2 (-10.9) million were burdened by SEK –0.8 (-) million in cost for restructuring, and increased largely due to the reorganization in the fourth quarter 2018, as the cost of product area managers were classed as administration expenses from year end. Development expenses of SEK –20.2 (-13.4) million were burdened by SEK –0.4 (-0.6) million in cost for restructuring, and mainly increased due to a significantly reduced rate of capitalization compared to the first quarter of 2018, when the Nimbra 1060 development project was completed. Total development expenditure, i.e. before capitalization, increased by some 12%, mainly due to investments in modernization of the ScheduALL solution. In total, operating expenses were affected by SEK -5.1 million in costs for restructuring and by SEK -4.0 million in exchange rate effects when translating foreign subsidiaries, compared with using last year's exchange rates. The change in the rate of capitalization corresponded to an increase in development expenses of SEK 5.2 million. Total development expenditure was SEK -37.4 (-33.4) million.
Operating earnings were SEK –11.9 (2.4) million, corresponding to an operating margin of –10.7% (2.2). Excluding items affecting comparability of SEK –5.5 (-0.6) million, operating earnings were SEK –6.4 (3.0) million. The lower operating earnings year-on-year were mainly due to reduced capitalization of development expenditure.
EBITDA was SEK –9.4 (-1.0) million, corresponding to an EBITDA margin of –8.4% (-0.9).
Activities relating to the development, sales and marketing of the company's live streaming solution Sye affected operating earnings and EBITDA by SEK–9.8 (-10.1) million and SEK –14.0 (-15.5) million respectively. Accordingly, operating earnings excluding Sye and items affecting comparability totaled SEK 3.3 (13.1) million.
Net sales
In the first quarter, net financial items were positively affected by SEK 0.2 (1.1) million for the revaluation of synthetic options programs due to a lower share price at the end of the quarter. Net financial items amounted to SEK 1.2 (1.5) million.
Loss before tax was SEK –10.7 (4.0) million, and net income for the period was SEK –8.5 (3.0) million, corresponding to a net margin of -7.7% (2.7).

First quarter investments were SEK 17.5 (21.7) million, of which SEK 17.2 (20.0) million related to capitalization of development expenditure. Depreciation and amortization in the period totaled SEK 19.8 (16.6) million, of which SEK 14.7 (15.2) million related to amortization of capitalized development expenditure. The increase in other depreciation and amortization is due to the implementation of IFRS 16 and the relocation to new offices in Stockholm and Miami in the second half of 2018.
At the end of the period, net value of capitalized development expenditure was SEK 236.6 million, against SEK 234.1 million as of 31 December, 2018.
Cash flow in the first quarter was SEK -32.0 (-13.5) million. Adjusted for repurchases of own shares, with a total value of SEK -1.8 (-0.7) million, cash flow was SEK -30.1 (-12.7) million. The negative cash flow was mainly due to increased capital tied up in the quarter, largely due to increased accounts receivable. Furthermore, cash flow from operating activities does not cover investments in development projects.
Cash and cash equivalents were SEK 61.4 million at the end of the quarter, against SEK 92.9 million as of 31 December, 2018.
Remaining tax loss carry-forwards for group companies were SEK 158.8 million at the end of the period, against SEK 145.4 million as of 31 December, 2018. For more information, see the section Tax on page 13.
Equity was SEK 486.3 million at the end of the period, against SEK 493.9 million as of 31 December, 2018. The equity/assets ratio was 66.9%, against 76.0% as of 31 December, 2018. The decrease in the equity/assets ratio was mainly due to effects of new accounting principles for leases (IFRS 16). Excluding the effects of IFRS 16, the equity/assets ratio was 73.9% at the end of the period.
For more information about share repurchases and share structure, see the section Contributed equity on page 13.
At the end of the period, Net Insight had 223 (247) employees and consultants, of which 156 (157) in the parent company Net Insight AB (publ).
Filippa Hasselström, vice president Streaming Solutions and Anna-Karin Berry, acting Head of People joined executive management in the quarter. Alan Ryan, Maria Hellström and Gustav Grundström left executive management.
Parent company net sales were SEK 129.5 (125.1 million) in the first quarter, and net income was SEK 5.5 (7.7) million in the period. In the first quarter, intra-group sales totaled SEK 34.0 (31.6) million, and intra-group purchases SEK -40.0 (-35.5) million.
Progress in the parent company in the first quarter largely shadowed Group progress as indicated above.
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 risks.
No additional critical risks and uncertainty factors, other than those reviewed in the Annual Report for 2018, arose during the year or are anticipated in 2019.
For a complete review of the company's risk and sensitivity analysis, and its risk management process, see pages 36–40 and 54–55 of the Annual Report for 2018.
In the past three calendar years, average seasonality has been fairly modest. Net sales were 24% of annual sales in the first, second and third quarter respectively, and 28% of annual sales in the fourth quarter.

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.
Effective January 1, 2019, Net Insight applies the following new or amended International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS): • IFRS 16 Leases
IFRS 16 Leases will replace IAS 17 Leases and the related interpretations IFRIC 4, SIC-15 and SIC-27. The definition of a lease is amended which impacts the accounting both from a lessee and lessor perspective. The new standard includes more specific guidance on if and when leasing is embedded in a service contract. The parent company has chosen not to apply IFRS 16 according to exceptions in RFR 2.
The standard requires assets and liabilities arising from all leases, with some exceptions for short agreements and agreements of low value, to be recognized on the balance sheet. This model reflects that, at the start of a lease, the lessee always obtains the right to use an asset for a period of time and has an obligation to pay for that right. The main types of assets leased by the Company are real estate.
The accounting for lessors will be based on the same classification as of an operating or finance lease under IAS 17. This means that if the Company, as a lessor, substantially retains the ownership rights and obligations of the asset, then the lease is classified as an operating lease. On the contrary, the lease is classified as a finance lease if the ownership rights and obligations of the asset are transferred to the lessee. The Company's lease arrangements are normally short in time, related to specific events.
The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. The Company applied the new standard as from January 1, 2019. The Company elected to implement the standard using the modified retrospective method, meaning that the agreements are recalculated as of January 1, 2019, with the cumulative effect being adjusted to the opening retained earnings balance at transition date. Previous years was not restated.
At transition, the Company, as a lessee, recognized lease liabilities for leases previously classified as operating leases. The weighted average incremental borrowing rate applied to lease liabilities recognized in the balance sheet at the transition date was 3.4%. Right-of-use assets were recognized based on the amount equal to the related lease liability. At transition the change of right-of-use assets were an increase of SEK 62 million and for current assets a decrease of SEK -2 million, and for non-current lease liabilities an increase of SEK 50 million, current lease liabilities an increase of SEK 9 million and that equity has changed with SEK 0 million.
The income statement is affected because the total expense is typically higher in the earlier years of a lease and lower in later years. Additionally, operating expense is replaced with interest and depreciation, so key metrics like EBITDA are changed.
The timing of the cash flows is not impacted. Operating cash flows will are higher as cash payments for the principal portion of the lease liability are classified within financing activities. Only the part of the payments that reflects interest can continue to be presented as operating cash flows.
The Company had no material impact on lessor accounting at transition.
Since previous years was not restated and to make the comparison easier, the current income statement, balance sheet and EBITDA has been recalculated in accordance to last year's accounting policies on page 12.
Leasing when the Company is the lessee
The main types of assets leased by the Company are, in the order of materiality, real estate, IT- and office equipment.
The Company recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities arising from all leases in the balance sheet, with some exceptions. This model reflects that, at the start of a lease, the lessee always obtains the right to use an asset for a period of time and has an obligation to pay for that right.
In the assessment of a lease contract the lease components are separated from non-lease components and the lease term is defined considering any extension or termination options.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the incremental borrowing rate.
Lease payments included in the liability are fixed payments, variable payments depending on an index or rate, residual values and penalties for termination of contracts.
The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which equals the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received plus any initial direct costs, and restoration costs.
The Company applies the recognition exemption for short-term leases and leases for which the underlying asset is of low-value recognizing the lease payments for those leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Leasing contracts with the Company as lessor are classified as finance leases when the majority of risks and rewards are transferred to the lessee, and otherwise as operating leases. Under a finance lease, a receivable is recognized at an amount equal to the net investment in the lease and revenue is recognized in accordance with the revenue recognition principles.
Under operating leases the equipment is recorded as property, plant and equipment and revenue as well as depreciation is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company's lease arrangements are normally short in time, related to specific events.
As of January 1, 2019, the CEO no longer follows the business by geographical regions, hence the segment information from January 1, 2019 will be presented as one segment.
Except for stated above, 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 2018.
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. The transition to IFRS 16 has led to new estimates and judgements, such as criteria for assessing which agreements meet the definition of a lease agreement, and determining lease periods and discount rates.
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.

The group reported tax of SEK 2.2 (-1.0) million for the period January–March, 2019. Reported tax corresponds to an effective tax rate of 25 (25) percent. Profit before tax of SEK –10.7 (4.0) million includes value changes on synthetic options of SEK 0.2 (1.1) million. The value change on synthetic options is not taxable if an income, or tax deductible if a cost. Hence, the relative share the value change on synthetic options is of profit/loss before tax has a significant effect on the differences in the effective tax rates between periods. 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 158.8 million at the end of the period, compared to SEK 145.4 million as of December 31, 2018. Deferred tax assets has been recognized for the tax loss carry-forwards.

Since the company was registered as the owner of these shares in 2019, these are reported as repurchased shares in 2019. During 2019, the parent company acquired another 230,000 of its own class B shares through purchases on Nasdaq Stockholm for SEK 0.6 million.
