We had a very favorable start to the new year across the board. Sales growth was exceptional for Tobii Pro and the behavioral research segment. For Tobii Dynavox, sales development was positive now that sales are taking off for the products launched in 2017. Most notable in Tobii Tech was the very strong momentum in VR.
Tobii Dynavox is now back to a positive sales trend, which is clearly driven by the market's response to the new products launched in 2017. We saw a strong increase in volume for the new touchscreen products during the first quarter. The trend was particularly notable in the US and UK since English is the first language in which our new communication software was made available. During the first quarter, the product was launched in German and Spanish and we look forward to the continued rollout of the new products in additional markets as more language versions are launched.
We continue to execute the strategy of developing a price-differentiated offering of both eyecontrolled and touchscreen-based assistive technology for communication in order to expand within various customer groups and geographic markets. Key factors for broader adoption are awareness and standardization of symbol languages. It was therefore good news this quarter when Microsoft chose to integrate Tobii Dynavox' symbols for accessibility features in software such as Word Online and Outlook.com.
The Tobii Pro business unit is doing incredibly well and delivered outstanding sales growth of 66%, adjusted for currency effects, during the first quarter. A very strong and competitive product and service portfolio, as well as an excellent reputation in the market form a solid base. The investments we made last year to expand our sales and marketing functions have achieved economies of scale. The market has matured in all sub-segments, which means that demand for eye tracking generally has increased. In addition, Tobii Pro has increased its market share as its largest competitor, SMI, was acquired in June 2017 and withdrew from this market.
Profitability was also very good for the business unit during the quarter, in part explained by improved efficiency in the sales organization and because we are now selling several products to one in the same customer than previously. Tobii Pro has substantial long-term growth potential and we will continue to invest to fully leverage the current trend. I am optimistic about the coming year.
Tobii Tech continues to pursue its initiatives in PC gaming where interest in eye tracking has increased within eSports, both as part of the viewer experience in live-streamed competitions and as a training tool for eSports gamers. We also continued our collaboration with Dell Alienware, both around the updated version of the Alienware 17 gaming notebook which contains Tobii eye tracking, and in relation to various eSports initiatives. We also added several new major titles to the list of games that support eye tracking.
In VR we hold a very strong position and demand for eye tracking has strengthened even further, as evidenced by the extremely positive media coverage we received at both the CES tech show in January and the Game Developers Conference (GDC) in March. The collaboration with Qualcomm, announced during the quarter, puts us in a position to very effectively access the emerging segment of standalone (mobile) VR headsets, which is expected to become the largest sub-segment in VR reaching 16 million units in 2021. Ongoing collaborations progressed according to plan during the quarter, and we believe that the number of customer projects may grow to about ten during the year. Most of these projects aim to launch products by the end of 2018 and during 2019. Interest from the AR industry is also growing, and although this market is further away, business discussions with several major players are beginning to take shape.
All in all, the first quarter provided a positive start to the year for all three business units.
Henrik Eskilsson CEO
"Tobii Pro exceeded our expectations and increased revenue by an impressive 66%, adjusted for currency effects."
"The investments in VR show good results in terms of extremely strong demand and a growing number of integration projects."
"TO SAY WE WERE SUFFICIENTLY IMPRESSED WOULD BE AN UNDERSTATEMENT. TOBII'S RECENT TECHNOLOGICAL PROGRESS PUTS IT AT THE TOP OF THE VR EYE-TRACKING GAME."
Tobii is the world leader in eye tracking. Our vision is a world where all technology works in complete harmony with natural human behavior. Tobii operates in three business units: Tobii Dynavox is the world leader in assistive technology for communication, Tobii Pro is the market leader in eye-tracking solutions and services used to study behavior and Tobii Tech is the world-leading provider of eye-tracking technology for volume markets such as computer games, mainstream computers, virtual reality and smartphones. The Group, which has about 1,000 employees, had sales of SEK 1,079 million for full-year 2017.
The Group's net sales during the first quarter rose by 14% to SEK 294 million (259). Adjusted for currency effects, the increase was 21%. Tobii Dynavox contributed SEK 175 million, Tobii Pro SEK 98 million and Tobii Tech SEK 37 million.
The North American market accounted for 55% (59%) of consolidated sales, the European market 23% (21%), and the rest of the world 22% (20%).
The Group's gross margin was 70% (71%). The operating loss for the Group improved to SEK -37 million (-58) and operating margin to -13% (-23%). Tobii Dynavox contributed SEK 14 million (17) and Tobii Pro SEK 15 million (0), while investments in Tobii Tech had a negative impact of SEK -66 million (-67) on the Group's operating result. The operating result was significantly impacted by strong growth within Tobii Pro and lower external development costs within Tobii Tech compared with the first quarter of 2017.
EBITDA was SEK 12 million (-26), yielding an EBITDA margin of 4% (-10%).
Pretax loss was SEK -30 million (-65). Net financial items totaled SEK 7 million (-7), mainly as result of positive currency effects on the Group's dollar-denominated (USD) financial assets. Net loss was SEK -32 million (-57) and earnings per share amounted to SEK -0.33 (- 0.60).
Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital amounted to SEK 5 million (-29). The change in working capital, primarily accounts receivable, had a negative impact of SEK -22 million (25).
Continuous investments amounted to SEK 48 million (41), of which SEK 42 million (37) referred to capitalization of R&D. Cash flow after continuous investments was SEK -65 million (-45) for the first quarter. The acquisition of the Acuity companies during the first quarter totaled SEK 15 million; see Business combinations on page 15 for more information. Cash flow after investments was therefore SEK -80 million (-41).
At the close of the period, the Group had SEK 459 million (730) in net cash.
The number of employees recalculated to full-time equivalents at the close of the period was 883 (733). The 20% increase is mainly due to the expansion of the R&D, sales and marketing organizations.
In April, Tobii announced that Oscar Werner will move on from his position as President of Tobii Tech after eight years at Tobii, as he has accepted the offer to become CEO of CLX Communications AB. He will remain in his current role until August 2018. Thereafter, Tobiis CEO will take over the responsibility during an interim period.

Tobii Dynavox is the world's leading supplier of assistive technology for communication for individuals with reduced ability to speak and communicate due to conditions such as cerebral palsy, ALS, aphasia, spinal cord injuries or autism. The products include eye-controlled and touchscreen-based communication devices and a variety of software. Tobii Dynavox' long-term financial targets are to increase revenue on an average by 10% per year with an EBIT margin of 15–20%.

Net sales amounted to SEK 175 million (180), a decrease of 3% compared with the first quarter of 2017. Adjusted for currency effects, sales grew by 4%, which was attributed to a strong increase in sales of new touchscreen products in North America where they were launched first. Hence, the favorable trend seen already during the previous quarter was strengthened.
The gross margin was 68% (69%). Operating profit totaled SEK 14 million (17) and the operating margin was 8% (10%). The reduction in gross margin was caused by changes in the product mix and somewhat higher production costs during the quarter.
.
During the quarter the "Steve Gleason Act" was adopted as a permanent law in the US, which secures access to public financing of assistive technology for communication for people with speech impairments. This is expected to reduce the uncertainty among prescribers and contribute to stability in the North American market.
In the UK, where Tobii Dynavox established a direct sales organization in 2017, sales increased sharply compared with the first quarter of 2017.
Tobii Dynavox' new communication software Snap, which was launched for English-speaking markets in 2017, was released in German and Spanish during the quarter. Additional language versions will be launched during the year, which is expected to stimulate sales of the business unit's communication solutions in non-English speaking markets.

Tobii Pro is the world's leading provider of eye-tracking hardware and analytics software used for understanding human behavior. Over 3,000 companies and 2,000 academic institutions are Tobii Pro customers, including several large corporations such as Procter & Gamble, Ipsos and Microsoft, as well as all of the world's 50 top-ranked universities. The business unit's long-term financial targets are to increase revenue on average by 15–20% per year and to reach an EBIT margin of 15% by 2020.

Net sales rose by SEK 37 million, or 61%, to SEK 98 million (61). Adjusted for currency effects, the increase was 66%. The increase was driven by strong sales in all product categories and in all regions, along with expansion into new sub-segments and a positive change in the competitive landscape.
The gross margin was 74% (75%). Operating profit improved to SEK 15 million (0) and the operating margin to 16% (0%), which was the result of increased revenue, combined with planned investments in R&D, sales and marketing not being fully ramped up in the quarter.
Market development for eye-tracking solutions for behavioral research studies was good across the board, with continually increasing demand in established areas of use such as academic research, market research and usability testing.
Tobii Pro is also expanding into new customer groups and applications, including "professional performance," a fast-growing field that spans across areas such as the automotive industry, process industry, simulators and sports.
The competitive landscape changed in 2017 as Tobii Pro's main competitor, SMI, was acquired and withdrew from the market. Tobii believes this had a clear positive impact on Tobii Pro's market share and rate of growth in the first quarter of the year.

Tobii Tech develops and delivers eye-tracking technology to high-volume customers who integrate it into their own products. The business primarily focuses on the subsegments gaming computers, mainstream computers, VR/AR, smartphones and niche applications. Tobii Tech's overarching objective is to maintain its world-leading position and in the long-term to achieve sales of several billion SEK with good profitability. This development is expected to occur gradually over several years and will require major investments in technology development and marketing. Tobii Tech's financial target is to reach profitability in 2021.

Net sales for the first quarter of 2018 rose year on year by SEK 8 million, or 26%, to SEK 37 million (29). This figure includes SEK 15 million in sales revenue from the other two business units and SEK 21 million from external sales. Adjusted for currency effects, net sales rose by 37%. The increase was primarily due to a larger proportion of project revenue from VR, as well as increased internal sales, compared with the same quarter 2017.
Gross margin was 42% (41%). The operating loss amounted to SEK -66 million (-76), an improvement explained by lower external development costs than in the comparative quarter despite the business unit's continued strong organizational growth during the quarter.
Demand continued to be strong in the VR segment, which was reflected in Tobii's strong media attention at the industry shows CES and GCD during the quarter. Both technical developments and business discussions progressed well in the ongoing projects that Tobii Tech is involved in with more than five major customers and partners. These projects are aiming for products to be launched by late 2018 or in 2019. In addition, discussions are underway with about ten more potential customers and partners in VR and AR.
The collaboration with Qualcomm, announced during the quarter, places Tobii in a very good position to deliver eye-tracking technology to customers who base their VR headsets on Qualcomm's Snapdragon platform. Qualcomm is the major supplier of processor platforms for standalone headsets, estimated to make up the largest sub-segment within VR in a few years time. Standalone headsets that have been launched to date include Oculus Go, HTC Vive Focus och Lenovo Mirage, all of which are built on Qualcomm's Snapdragon platform.
In the PC gaming segment, interest in eSports grew, where eye tracking is now being used both for live-streaming matches and in training. To reach additional integration customers and computer models, Tobii is investing in the development of applications and the next generation integration platform. The platform development is proceeding according to plan and is planned to be ready for mass production towards the end of the year.

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 principles 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. No new or amended IFRS regulations have had any material impact on the Group.
IFRS 16 "Leases" comes into force on 1 January 2019 and replaces the current standard, IAS 17 Leases and the related interpretations IFRIC 4, SIC-15 and SIC-27. The standard requires assets and liabilities arising from all leases, with some exceptions, to be recognized on the balance sheet. The Group has not yet assessed the impact of IFRS 16.
Two new IFRS standards went into effect from January 1, 2018. Below is a description of the new principles and effects on the Group's financial reporting as well as the transition method.
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments replaces IAS 39 Financial Instruments from 2018. The standard addresses classification, measurement and recognition of financial assets and liabilities, introduces new rules for hedge accounting and a new model for impairment of financial assets. The new standard has not had a material impact on the Group's classification and valuation of financial instruments. Since the effects are not material, the transition to the opening balance for 2018 was not affected.
IFRS 15 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" goes into effect on January 1, 2018 and replaces current standards and interpretations for revenue recognition in IFRS. The new standard is applied by the Group for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018. The standard and its clarifications have been approved by the EU Commission.
The Group revenue recognition related to the sale of goods is not impacted by the transition to IFRS 15.
The Group's principles for revenue recognition of services are impacted with regard to future service commitments that arise after the sale of certain products. The Tobii Dynavox business unit sells certain products as packages comprised partly of computer products that are delivered to customers at date of sale, and partly as service commitments in the form of enhanced warrantees and customer support which are fulfilled in future periods after the date of sale. In accordance with current standards, IAS 18, Tobii recognized revenue for the complete package in the reporting period in which the product was delivered. IFRS 15 states that revenues shall be recognized in the period that Tobii fulfills its commitment to the customers for each part of the package. Tobii Pro business unit is affected to a lesser extent by the new standard since Tobii Pro products are not sold as packages, but as separate products.
Tobii applies IFRS 15 full retrospective method for transition to the new standard and has restated 2017 income statement and balance sheet.
The impact from transition to IFRS 15 is an opening balance adjustment of SEK 80 million as at January 1, 2017, which is reported as a decrease in equity and an increase in the liability contracts with customers. The opening balance refers to warrantees and customer support commitments which Tobii has sold in earlier years but has not yet fulfilled as at January 1, 2017. During 2017 the reported revenues were negatively impacted by SEK 6 million, or 0.5% of the Group's revenues. The tables below show the quantitative impact of IFRS 15 on 2017 reported figures on relevant items in the financial reports.

On February 28, 2018 Tobii acquired all shares in Acuity ETS Ltd, a company registered in Hampshire, England and Acuity Intelligence Ltd, a company registered in Berkshire, England. Acuity ETS is the largest reseller of Tobii Pro's research tools and Acuity Intelligence, a research and consulting service within neuroscience. The purpose of the acquisition is to strengthen Tobii Pro's direct sales of product and services in the UK.
Below is shown the purchase price for the two companies. The acquisition analysis is preliminary due to final valuation of acquired assets and liabilities.
| Feb 28 | |

| SEK m | 2018 |
| Cash | 14.8 |
| Adjustment at completion date | -1.1 |
| Contingent consideration | 10.0 |
| Total purchase price | 23.7 |
| Fair value of acquired assets and liabilities | -1.5 |

| Tangible fixed assets | 0.1 |
| Accounts receivable and other receivables | 3.5 |
| Accounts payable and other payables | -2.9 |
| Total acquired assets and liabilities | 1.5 |
The total consideration for the acquired net assets amounted to SEK 23.7 million. A cash payment of SEK 14.7 million was paid at acquisition date. The agreed upon contingent consideration relates to Acuity revenue trends during 2018-2020. The total maximum contingent consideration amounts to SEK 19 million. Fair value of the contingent consideration is SEK 10 million because Tobii's management assesses there is a 50% probability that the maximum outcome in accordance with the agreement will be achieved.
Goodwill of SEK 22.2 million is reported in business unit Tobii Pro and refers to the potential to strengthen the business unit through direct sales of products and services in the UK.
The gross amount of acquired accounts receivable is SEK 3.4 million and will most likely be collected.
Revenues from the Acuity businesses during the period from acquisition up to and including February 28, 2018 amounted to SEK 3 million and corresponding operating profit for the same period was SEK 1 million. If the acquisition had taken place on January 1, 2018 the Group's Net sales for the first quarter would amount to approximately SEK 296 million and the operating profit would amount to approximately SEK -36 million.
Transaction costs incurred for the acquisition amounted to approximately SEK 0.4 million and are included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated income statement.
The contingent consideration related to the Sticky-acquisition is a level 3 financial instrument and is measured at fair value in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. During the first quarter of 2018 the fair value of the contingent consideration was valued at SEK 0 after a new forecast shows that the conditions for payment according to the purchase agreement with high probability will not be achieved. The contingent consideration relating to the Acuity acquisition in February 2018 is a level 3 financial instrument and is measured to fair value of SEK 10 million as at March 31, 2018. Change in fair value measurement is shown in the table below.

No transactions have occurred between Tobii and related parties that have materially affected the company's position and earnings.
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, due to the fact that not all companies calculate financial measures in the same way. The key ratios and alternative performance measures that Tobii uses are defined on page 100 of the 2017 annual report.
This section presents only the reconciliation of alternative performance measures that cannot be calculated from information in financial reports in this interim report.
