Comments from the CEO

We launched a large number of exciting and strategically important products in the second quarter. I am very proud of our solid development efforts and the overall positive response from customers which confirms our product strategy. Other highlights were Tobii Pro's strong sales performance and the acquisition of Sticky.

Tobii Dynavox – positive response to new products

A central component of our growth strategy for Tobii Dynavox is to strengthen the offering of communication solutions at various price levels. Historically, we have been strongly positioned in high-end medical-grade solutions, which generally are funded by state or private insurances.

We are now expanding our offering of lower priced communication solutions that can be paid for directly by private individuals and schools, paving the way for expansion into new markets where funding via insurance is not available. This mid-range segment is already a fast-growing market where we see opportunities to significantly grow our market shares. During the quarter, we launched Indi, the world's first "speech tablet", that offers an alternative to our existing high-end medical-grade devices. Another launch in the midrange segment was the EyeMobile Plus, a product that enables a Windows tablet to be used as a fully-fledged eye-controlled communication solution. We also launched new eye-controlled hardware and software for computer access.

Yet another focus area is software and apps, where we see that a strong position drives penetration, customer loyalty and additional hardware sales. During the quarter, we launched Snap, a completely new symbol-based communication software that can be used on all types of devices, from consumer tablets to our most sophisticated medical-grade devices.

The new products have generally received many positive reviews from the market, but have not yet had any major impact on our sales performance. We saw a continued increase in sales of eyecontrolled communication devices and the initial sales of Indi were strong, while the older generation touch devices continued to decline. Tobii Dynavox's revenues increased slightly compared with the preceding quarter, but were largely on par with the second quarter of 2016.

Tobii Pro – positive market trend and acquisition of Sticky

Tobii Pro reported a strong quarter, increasing sales 19% yearover-year adjusted for currency effects. Our efforts to increase awareness of eye tracking as a research method have generated an overall increase in demand among customers, and we saw high demand for established products such as Glasses 2 and new products such as Tobii Pro Spectrum. The business unit made good headway in all major regions.

Tobii Pro took an important strategic step with the acquisition of Sticky. Sticky has developed a SaaS solution that enables highly cost-efficient and large-scale eye-tracking tests of advertisements, websites and video. A key element is its use of standard webcams for a simpler form of eye tracking, enabling market research studies via the participants' personal computers. Equally important is the cloudbased solution that Sticky has developed, that allows customers to efficiently design, implement and analyze the results of these tests. The offering fits very nicely in Tobii Pro's long-term ambition to broaden its product range from advanced research solutions to also encompass solutions for cost-efficient eye-tracking tests on a large scale.

Tobii Tech – more PC games and strong demand in VR

The products announced by Tobii's integration customers in PC gaming market are now shipping, and our deliveries are in pace with sales to end customers. We have ongoing collaborations with our customers concerning marketing activities, and we also continued to invest in collaborations with gaming studios during the quarter. Some 15 new game titles were announced during the quarter, bringing the current number of games that support Tobii eye tracking to about 80.

Interest in eye tracking within virtual reality (VR) increased further during the quarter and the general perception is that it is likely to become a key component in future generations of VR headsets. We believe that we are well positioned to become a leading supplier of eye-tracking technology for VR, and a number of discussions with potential customers and partners have intensified. We introduced a VR development kit with fully integrated eye tracking, and also continued to increase our investments and grow the Tobii Tech organization to enable us to handle more parallel projects and customers in VR.

We were also pleased to see an interest in eye tracking in several specialized markets. This spring Tobii Tech has signed sales agreements with three small integration customers in fields as diverse as robotic surgery, casino machines and diagnostics. Sales for Tobii Tech increased by 60%, or 49% adjusted for currency effects, compared with the second quarter of 2016.

The Group's negative cash flow for the quarter was largely impacted by extraordinary one-time investments related to the Sticky acquisition, non-recurring high external development costs for the next generation eyetracking platform, and seasonal effects within Tobii Pro.

Consolidation of the eye-tracking industry

Over the past year, we have seen a surge in interest for eye tracking in the consumer electronics industry. One of the ways this development has manifested itself is the acquisition of specialized eye-tracking companies by companies such as Google and Facebook.

In June, the media reported that Tobii's main competitor SensoMotoric Instruments (SMI) had been acquired by Vineyard Capital Corporation, with links to Apple. SMI has sold its own research eye trackers, supplied eye-tracking components to assistive technology companies and also focused on the VR market. Tobii has strong offerings in most of the markets where SMI has been active, and we believe that this creates possibilities for Tobii to advance our positions and further strengthen the market shares of all three business units. Additionally, this acquisition will probably further boost interest in eye tracking among large device manufacturers.

Lastly, I am very pleased with all the new products and the strong commitment shown by all our employees as we continue to execute our strategy for the three business units.

Danderyd, July 25, 2017 Henrik Eskilsson

The Tobii Group in Brief

Tobii is the world-leader in eye-tracking, a technology that can determine where a person is looking with high accuracy. An eyetracking sensor can provide access to information about what the user pays attention to or processes. This, in turn, can provide unique insights into human behavior or be used to create natural and more intuitive user interfaces for computers and other devices.

The Tobii Group has three business units that have their own distinct markets, products and organizations. Two of these units, Tobii Dynavox and Tobii Pro, are market leaders and have established product portfolios in their respective niche markets. Tobii Dynavox is focused on assistive technology for communication and helps thousands of users to speak and communicate. Tobii Pro makes specialized eye-tracking solutions that add deep insights and unique objectivity to a multitude of research areas devoted to the

study of behavior. Tobii invests in the third business unit, Tobii Tech, to reach future high-volume markets for eye tracking in primarily consumer products such as computers, gaming products, VR and smartphones.

Tobii invests in high-paced development to maintain its marketleading position and advance its market penetration in all three business units.

Tobii has 800 employees and covers the global market through its own offices in Sweden, the USA, China, Japan, Norway, Germany, the UK, South Korea and Taiwan, and through a global network of resellers. Tobii is headquartered in Danderyd, Sweden, and is listed on Nasdaq Stockholm since April 2015.

The Group April – June

Sales

The Group's net sales for the second quarter rose year-over-year by 10% to SEK 266 million (241). Adjusted for currency effects, the change was 4%. Tobii Dynavox contributed SEK 185 million, Tobii Pro SEK 66 million and Tobii Tech SEK 29 million, of which SEK 15 million comprised sales of eye-tracking platforms to the other two business units and SEK 14 million comprised external sales.

During the second quarter, the North American market accounted for 63% (66%) of the Group's sales, the European market for 20% (22%), and the rest of the world for 17% (13%). The change was primarily driven by higher sales in Asia through Tobii Pro and Tobii Tech.

Earnings

The Group's gross margin was 71% (73%). The decline was mainly driven by an increased share of sales from Tobii Tech, which has lower margins than the other two business units, and changes in the product mix.

The operating loss for the Group was SEK -70 million (-29) and the EBIT margin was -26% (-12%). Tobii Dynavox contributed SEK 19 million (25) and Tobii Pro's EBIT amounted to SEK -2 million (-3), while investments in Tobii Tech increased and had an impact of SEK -87 million (-52) on the Group's operating loss. The operating loss was impacted negatively by increased investments in R&D, sales and marketing, and by the acquisition of Sticky.

Research & development (SEK m) 2017 2016
Total R&D expenditures -116 -85
Capitalization 43 32
Amortization -30 -24
R&D expenses in the income statement -104 -77

Operating loss before depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) was SEK -34 million (1), yielding an EBITDA margin of -13% (0%).

Pretax loss was SEK -88 million, compared with SEK -18 million for the second quarter of 2016. Net financial items decreased to SEK -18 million (12), primarily as a result of currency effects that affected the value of the Group's dollar-based (USD) financial assets having a negative year-over-year impact.

Net loss was SEK -71 million (-16) and loss per share amounted to SEK -0.73, compared with SEK -0.18 in the corresponding period in 2016.

Cash flow, liquidity and financial position

Cash flow after continuous investments for the second quarter amounted to SEK -78 million (-32). Cash flow from operating activities was SEK -31 million (6) and continuous investments amounted to SEK 47 million (38), of which SEK 43 million (32) referred to capitalization of R&D.

The quarter's cash flow was impacted by extraordinary one-tome investments related to the Sticky acquisition and related integration costs, and non-recurring external development costs for the next generation eyetracking platform, as well as by seasonal effects within Tobii Pro. The purchase price for the Sticky acquisition impacted cash flow for the quarter by SEK -24 million. Additional financial information regarding the acquisition is presented on page 19 of this report.

At the close of the period, the Group had SEK 631 million (348) in net cash. Previously unutilized overdraft facilities of a maximum of SEK 170 million were canceled and thus amounted to SEK 0 million (170).

Employees

The number of employees at period-end, recalculated to full-time equivalents (FTE), was 782. Compared with the corresponding period last year, the number of FTEs rose by 81, or 12%, through increased investments in the R&D, sales and marketing organizations.

Annual General Meeting 2017

Tobii's Annual General Meeting, held on May 9 in Stockholm, passed the following resolutions:

  • Kent Sander was re-elected Chairman of the Board and all Board members were re-elected except Martin Gren who resigned his position on the Board of his own accord. PricewaterhouseCoopers AB was re-elected as the company's auditor.
  • The Annual General Meeting authorized the Board to resolve to issue new shares for no more than 10% of the number of shares outstanding to facilitate the possible acquisition of companies or products.
  • The Annual General Meeting adopted the Board's proposal to implement a new long-term incentive program for employees of the Tobii Group.

The Group January – June

Sales

The Group's net sales for the first half of 2017 rose year-over-year by 7% to SEK 527 million (493). Adjusted for currency effects, the increase was 2%. The increase was attributable to growth in Tobii Pro and Tobii Tech, although this was reduced by a decline in Tobii Dynavox.

During the period, the North American market accounted for 61% (64) of the Group's sales, the European market for 21% (23), and the rest of the world for 18% (13).

Earnings

The Group's gross margin was 71% (73%). The change was driven by a higher share of sales from Tobii Tech, which has lower margins than the other two business units, changes in the product mix and price reductions on certain products carried out by Tobii Dynavox in 2016.

The operating loss for the Group was SEK -126 million (-46) and the EBIT margin was -24% (-9%). Tobii Dynavox contributed SEK 39 million (52) and Tobii Pro's EBIT amounted to SEK -2 million (3), while investments in Tobii Tech increased and had an impact of SEK -163 million (-101) on the Group's operating loss. The operating loss was affected by increased investments in R&D and in the sales and marketing organizations.

Total R&D expenditures -222 -160
Capitalization 79 54
Amortization -57 -43
R&D expenses in the income statement -200 -149

Operating loss before depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) was SEK -58 million (9), yielding an EBITDA margin of -11% (2%).

Pretax loss was SEK -151 million compared with SEK -47 million in the corresponding period in 2016. Net financial items amounted to SEK -25 million (-1), primarily as a result of currency effects that affected the value of the Group's dollar-based (USD) financial assets having a negative year-over-year impact.

Net loss was SEK -126 million (-41) and loss per share amounted to SEK -1.31, compared with SEK -0.47 in the corresponding period in 2016. The average number of outstanding shares during the first half of the year was 97 million (88), and the number of shares outstanding at period-end was 97 million (88).

Cash flow, liquidity and financial position

Cash flow after continuous investments was SEK -123 million (-30). Cash flow from operations totaled SEK -59 million (6), while the change in working capital had a positive effect of SEK 24 million (28). Continuous investments increased by SEK 24 million to SEK 88 million, of which SEK 79 million refers to capitalization of R&D.

Tobii Dynavox

  • Successful launches of several strategically important products.
  • A robust increase in the number of sold communication devices at a lower average sales point resulted in flat sales year-over-year.
  • Continued a high pace of investments in R&D and development of sales channels.

Earnings

The gross margin was 69% (70%). The decrease was mainly driven by changes in the product mix. Operating profit totaled SEK 19 million (25) and the EBIT margin was 10% (14%). The decline was driven by increased investments in R&D.

Total R&D expenditures -32 -25
Capitalization 19 16
Amortization -12 -11
R&D expenses in the income statement -25 -20

Significant events during the quarter

Tobii Dynavox launched several strategically important products:

  • Indi, the world's first all-in-one speech tablet.
  • Snap, a new symbol-based communication software.
  • PCEye Plus, an eye-controlled computer peripheral for people with reduced motor impairments.
  • Windows Control 2, a major new version of the business unit's software for eye control of Windows.
  • In July, EyeMobile Plus was also launched, a product that allows the user to turn a tablet into an eye-controlled communication device.

Market development

Many people who require assistive technology for communication do not currently have access to such products, which means there is good potential for market growth over a long period. Tobii Dynavox holds over 40% of the total market for assistive technology for communication and approximately 75% within eye-controlled products.

A central part of the growth strategy for Tobii Dynavox is to strengthen the offering of communication solutions at a wider range of price levels. Historically, the business unit has been most strongly positioned in high-end medical-grade solutions. Offering communication solutions at lower price points enables sales directly to private individuals and schools, and expansion into markets where funding via insurance is unavailable. During the quarter, we launched several products – eye-controlled and touchscreen-based – in the mid-price segments, which were positively received by the market.

Software and apps also represent a central part of the strategy, given the fact that a widely distributed software contributes to both customer retention and additional hardware sales. During the quarter, a completely new symbol-based communication software was launched, with the ambition to establish a whole new standard that can be used on all types of products, from consumer tablets to the most sophisticated medical devices.

April – June

Sales

Net sales for the second quarter increased year-over-year by SEK 4 million, or 2%, to SEK 185 million (182). Adjusted for currency effects, this represented a decrease of 4%. Adjusted also for backlog effects, sales were roughly flat year-over-year. Net sales were positively impacted by higher sales of eye-controlled products, but negatively impacted by lower sales of the older generation touchscreen products. The new products launched during the quarter were well received by the market but as yet have not had any major impact on sales.

January – June

Sales

Net sales for the first half of 2017 declined year-over-year by 1% to SEK 368 million (370). Adjusted for currency effects, sales decreased by 5%. Despite increased sales of eye-controlled products, the decline was driven by lower sales of older touchscreen products, weaker sales in the UK and order backlog effects.

Earnings

The gross margin was 69% (71%), which was primarily the result of changes in the product mix and price reductions carried out in 2016 on parts of the product offering. Operating profit totaled SEK 39 million (52) and the EBIT margin was 11% (14%). The decline was driven by increased investments in R&D.

Additional financial information regarding the acquisition is presented on page 19 of this report.

Earnings

The gross margin was 73% (72%). The operating loss was SEK -2 million (-3) and the EBIT margin was -2% (-5%), which represented an improvement despite increased operating expenses and costs related to the Sticky acquisition.

Market development

The market development for eye-tracking solutions for behavioral research studies is generally favorable, with growing demands in established markets. Tobii Pro has gradually reached new customer categories with its innovative and versatile products.

Tobii Pro has a long-term ambition to broaden its offering from advanced research solutions to also encompass solutions for cost-efficient eye-tracking tests on a large scale. The business unit is thus making substantial investments in developing a differentiated product portfolio in eye-tracking hardware as well as software and services. The acquisition of Sticky was also part of this strategy.

Sticky has developed a SaaS solution that enables highly cost-efficient and large-scale eye-tracking tests of advertisements, websites and video. The solution utilizes standard webcams for a simpler form of eye tracking, enabling market research studies via the participants' personal computers. Sticky has also developed a cloudbased solution to efficiently design, implement and analyze the results of these tests. Through this complementary offering, Tobii Pro can generate additional sales to existing customers and address new customer categories. Through synergies with Tobii Pro's product portfolio, global sales organization, service organization and customer base, there is a solid platform in place to grow Sticky's SaaS business.

January – June

Sales

Net sales for the first half of 2017 rose year-over-year by 13% to SEK 127 million (113). Adjusted for currency effects, growth was 8% and, adjusted also for order backlog effects, the increase was 12%.

Earnings

Gross margin rose to 74% (73%). Operating loss totaled SEK -2 million (3) and the EBIT margin was -1% (3%). The change was driven by increased investments in R&D, continued expansion of the sales and marketing organizations, and the Sticky acquisition.

About Tobii Pro

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 topranked universities. Tobii Pro accounts for approximately 25% of the Group's sales. The business unit's long-term financial goal is to deliver revenue growth in excess of 15% per year and to reach an EBIT margin in excess of 15%.

Tobii Tech

  • Continued to invest in PC gaming market and marketing initiatives in collaboration with existing integration customers.
  • Increased focus on VR and intensified discussions with potential customers and partners.
  • Continued high rate of recruitment and expansion of the organization.

Market development

All sub-markets addressed by Tobii Tech are in an early stage of their market development and the penetration of eye tracking in these areas is very low. Sales of eye-tracking technology to the consumer electronics industry often involves lengthy processes. The period from initial sale to prototype development for a potential customer is usually between six and twelve months. During the product development phase, the partners cooperate on the concept, integration and market launch, and often takes another year before a product reaches the market.

Several products with built-in eye tracking from Tobii have been launched in the market for PC gaming, including notebooks, monitors and peripherals. In the VR market, manufacturers of VR headsets are showing a strong interest in integrating eye tracking into future product generations. Business discussions are under way with several different players in the VR ecosystem. In the smartphone area, Tobii currently has one initial customer and is working to deliver expanded functionality to additional integration customers in the long term. There is also interest in specialized markets to integrate Tobii's eye-tracking platform into a broad spectrum of products.

April – June

Sales

Net sales for the second quarter rose year-over-year rose by SEK 11 million, or 60%, to SEK 29 million (18). Adjusted for currency effects, the increase was 49%. The increase was mainly attributable to external sales, which increased 152% to SEK 14 million.

Earnings

The gross margin was 43% (50%). The change was driven by a greater share of sales to external integration customers. The operating loss was SEK -87 million (-52), which was mainly impacted by increased investments in R&D, sales and marketing. Part of these investments included unusually large external non-recurring costs related to the development of the next-generation eye-tracking platform for computer integration.

1) The 2017 Annual General Meeting resolved to implement a long-term incentive program, LTI 2017, and to issue new shares of not more than 969,000 warrants. The program comprises 2 series of warrants. Series 1 entitles the warrant holder to subscribe for one Tobii AB share at a price of SEK 60.90 per share during a fixed period in 2020/2021. There are a total of 800,000 warrants outstanding in the series. Series 2 entitles the warrant holder to subscribe for one Tobii AB share at a price of SEK 56.20 during a fixed period in 2021/2027. There are a total of 169,000 warrants outstanding in the series. At June 30, 2017 the number of emitted warrants totaled 3.7 million, an increase of 0.4 million since the end of 2016 which is due to the cancellation of 0.5 million unused warrants from previous years' incentive programs as well as the emission of approximately 1 million warrants in LTI 2017. The dilution effect of warrants in all of the company's incentive programs corresponds to a maximum of approximately 3.8%.

Business combinations

On May 17, 2017 Tobii Group acquired through an asset acquisition the business operations of Sticky Ad, Inc. (A Delaware USA corporation) and Sticky AB (a Swedish corporation). Sticky delivers cost-efficient eye tracking tests of advertisements, home pages and video, primarily in the North American market. The use of web cameras for a simpler form of eyetracking enables large-scale market research using panels of participants on home computers. The acquisition will enhance Tobii's presence and scope of services in the market for eye trackingbased market research. The acquired Sticky business will be fully integrated into Tobii Pro and is well suited to the business unit's long-term ambition to expand its offerings in this market.

Fair value of acquired assets -11.5
Goodwill 29.7
Acquired assets:
Intangible assets (excl. goodwill) 9.8

Total fair value of acquired assets 11.5

The total consideration paid for the assets received amounts to SEK 41.2 million, of which cash at acquisition is SEK 23.7 million, and an additional cash payment of SEK 4.4 million to be made 15 months after purchase. The contingent consideration is attributable to Sticky-related net sales trend over 2017 – 2019. The total maximum contingent consideration amounts to SEK 53 million. Fair value of the contingent consideration is SEK 13.2 because Tobii's management assesses there is a 25% probability that the maximum outcome in accordance with the conditions of the agreement will be achieved.

Goodwill of SEK 29,7 million is allocated to business unit Tobii Pro and refers to the potential for a broader product portfolio and scaling up of operations as well as synergy effects.

The gross contractual amount of trade receivables is MSEK 2,2 and it is estimated that MSEK 1,7 will be collected. Besides trade receivables, there are no other classes of receivables included in the acquisition.

Revenue from Sticky operations during the period from acquisition date until June 30, 2017 was SEK 0,8 million, and corresponding operating profit (EBIT) for the same period was SEK -2 million. The consolidated revenue calculated as if Sticky operations were included in the Tobii Group from January 1, 2017 until June 30, 2017 is approximately SEK 532 million and the consolidated operating profit (EBIT) from January 1, 2017 until June 30, 2017 is approximately SEK -136 million.

Transaction costs incurred for the acquisition amount to approximately MSEK 0.6. Acquisition-related costs are included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated income statement.
