CEO statement

The first quarter has been characterized by continuous market penetration of our solution for true Live OTT and we have seen a great interest, even though we are still in the early stages. Furthermore, the integration of ScheduALL continued into Net Insight's business. The acquisition of ScheduALL is not only strengthening our global positioning within tailored media solutions; it is also leading to a substantial cross-selling opportunity with a joint customer portfolio consisting of about 500 customers. I am pleased to say that the integration of ScheduALL is progressing according to plan.

The revenue for the first quarter increased by 25 per cent, to SEK 110 (88) million. The operating margin for the first quarter was 7 per cent, which is flat, compared to the same period 2015. Despite the fact that the ScheduALL acquisition affected the operating margin negatively by SEK -3 million. We also continued to invest in R&D focusing on Live OTT. The lion part of the revenue growth is related to ScheduALL, but we can also recognize a stable demand in our core business even though we did not deliver against any single large order during the first quarter.

We have already experienced several positive effects thanks to the acquisition of ScheduALL. One example is that we have transformed our organization to a global company and initiated a cohesive sales team, with one interface towards our customers. This has resulted in a more effective and streamlined organization. We have also reorganized our R&D department somewhat which has resulted in a one-off cost of SEK 3,4 million. The objective is to increase efficiency, but also create a more up to date testing process. The reorganization is also running smoothly and will show full effect during the next quarter.

The US market declined during the first quarter, compared to the same period last year. It is important to note that the first quarter 2015 was enhanced by a significant contract, which had a sizable impact on revenue. The US is the biggest and most important market in the world, and we will continue to activate our commercial strategy in order to raise brand awareness and take market share. Western Europe continued to show strength with increased revenue of 27 per cent to SEK 48 (38) million. The region Rest of World also had a positive quarter with a couple of larger deals with new customers.

The important business strategic commitment to develop and establish Live OTT on the market is also proceeding according to plan. We can clearly see a growing interest in this ground-breaking technology, both from existing and new customers. But, also from the industry itself. Solving the challenge of delivering true Live OTT to our customers was an important milestone for our company. No longer will a live audience be seconds, or even minutes delayed and out of sync with each other. Introducing Sye in the beginning of April, our solution for true Live OTT, was a proud moment. It was also very fulfilling to meet customers at the NAB show in Las Vegas, and see their reaction. At NAB Net Insight´s Sye solution was awarded "Best in Show"

by TV Technology. We will continue to invest in true Live OTT and we are fully committed to drive the industry forward as global market leaders.

Super Bowl 2015 became the most watched event in US TV history. The game between the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks set a new record, averaging 114.4 million viewers per minute on NBC's Sunday night broadcast. I am pleased to acknowledge that our Nimbra equipment played an important role in this broadcast. Another example where our technology made a difference was during the rugby union matches, where our customer Tata Communications delivered a seamless viewing experience for sports fans all over the world!

I feel privileged being part of this exciting industry that is currently experiencing a huge transformation. I am convinced that we have a lot of exciting business opportunities going forward. We have a strong position on the market, and will continue to focus on creating sustainable growth. We will also continue to activate our brand strategy step-by-step and become more visible. Recently we were appointed a "Career Company 2016" in Sweden, which is something we take great pride in. It means that we are seen as one of Sweden's top 100 career companies this year. We will also continue to strengthen and build our employer value proposition, which is a culture journey centered around the key message "join the transformation". This transformation is also something that we would like to invite all of you shareholders to join. The journey has just begun!

REVENUES

Net sales for the first quarter were SEK 110.0 (87.7) million, up by 25.3 per cent year on year. In comparable currencies, the increase was 24.1 per cent. Revenues of SEK 2.6 million that ScheduALL had recognized as an independent company were not included in first quarter earnings due to IFRS accounting rules. Adjusted for this, as indicated in the table on page 7, net sales were SEK 112.6 (87.7) million. For 2016, revenues of some SEK 6 million that ScheduALL would have recognized as an independent company will not be included due to IFRS accounting rules. Organic growth was 3.5 per cent.

Net Insight introduced a new global sales organization from January 1, 2016, which divides reporting into new geographical regions. Comparable periods have been converted to reflect the new organizational structure.

Western Europe generated sales of SEK 47.8 (37.8) million, an increase with 26.6 per cent. Sales in the quarter were mainly derived from existing customers. The region also returned growth adjusted for the acquisition of ScheduALL.

Rest of World generated sales of SEK 26.9 (14.3) million. Net Insight signed a number of important contracts in the quarter with new customers in the Middle East, Australia and elsewhere. The deals relate to both the Nimbra and ScheduALL product lines. Net Insight also completed its first delivery of a network for nationwide DTT in Central Asia in the quarter, announced in a press release in March. The roll-out is expected to be completed during 2017.

Net Sales by Product Group

North and South Americas generated sales of SEK 35.2 (35.7) million. Sales to Canada were strong in the quarter, while the US and South America returned weaker figures. As previously communicated, the South American market is suffering from a weak economy and unfavorable exchange rates, which has hit investments hard. In the US, the decrease relates to customer investment cycles and a strong first quarter in 2015. The region as a whole decreased by SEK -10.8 million excluding the acquisition of ScheduALL.

Net sales in the Broadcast & Media (BMN) business area were 81 (86) per cent, in Digital Terristrial TV (DTT) 17 (13) per cent and in CATV/IPTV 2 (1) per cent of total sales.

Net sales from hardware were SEK 44.7 (54.2) million. The year on year reduction should be viewed as normal fluctuations between quarters. Net sales from software licenses were SEK 30.0 (15.5) million, and support and service sales were SEK 35.5 (16.9) million. The acquisition of ScheduALL implies that the value of software and services will increase as the business model is largely based on software licenses followed by support and upgrade agreements. The above numbers exclude other operating income of SEK -0.2 (1.1) million, which consist of translation differences on accounts receivable in foreign currencies.

EARNINGS

First quarter earnings were also affected by acquisition-related items and substantial revaluation effects from a synthetic option program. For an overview of these effects, see the table on page 7.

Gross earnings were SEK 67.8 (52.7) million. The increase is mainly due to the additional sales volumes generated by the acquisition of ScheduALL. The gross margin for the quarter was 61.7% (60.1), a minor improvement year on year driven by increased volumes.

Operating expenses for the first quarter were SEK 60.0 (46.6) million. The increase is mainly due to the addition of ScheduALL's organization. Operating expenses decreased by SEK 2.0 million in the quarter as a result of the lower share price in the first quarter, which generated positive revaluation effects on expenses. Development expenses in the quarter were charged with a nonrecurring expense of SEK 3.4 million as a result of a minor reorganization of the R&D operations aimed at rationalizing the development process. Total R&D expenditure was SEK 37.5 (22.1) million. The increase is a combination of the consolidation of ScheduALL and the Live OTT initiative.

Operating earnings were SEK 7.8 (6.2) million, corresponding to an operating margin of 7.1 per cent, against 7.0 per cent in the comparative period of 2015. Adjusted operating earnings, see table on page 7, were SEK 11.2 (6.2) million, which corresponded to an adjusted operating margin of 9.9 (7.0) per cent.

In the first quarter, net financial items were credited with SEK 9.0 million in value changes on the synthetic option program introduced in the second quarter 2015, and accordingly, net financial items were SEK 8.5 (-0.5) million. The synthetic options are remeasured on a current basis using the Black & Scholes model, and given wide share price fluctuations, do exert a substantial impact on net financial items. The synthetic option program is fully hedged through repurchases of treasury shares, and accordingly, the value fluctuations do not have any future cash flow effect.

Earnings before tax were SEK 16.3 (5.6) million. Adjusted earnings before tax were SEK 10.7 (5.6) million, see table on page 7.

Net earnings for the period were SEK 14.0 (4.0) million, corresponding to a net margin of 12.8 (4.6) per cent.

CASH FLOW AND FINANCIAL POSITION

Cash flow for the first quarter was SEK 11.8 (10.2) million. The increased cash flow from ongoing activities in the quarter was offset by increased investment activity consisting almost exclusively of R&D initiatives.

Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the quarter were SEK 204.9 (304.9) million. The year on year decrease was almost exclusively due to the purchase consideration for ScheduALL.

Remaining tax loss carry-forwards for group companies were SEK 86.7 (110.6) million at the end of the period.

Equity was SEK 543.6 (541.8) million, with an equity/assets ratio of 77.8 (87.5) per cent.

INVESTMENTS

Investments in the first quarter were SEK 22.4 (12.6) million, of which SEK 20.0 (12.1) million related to capitalization of expenditure for development. Depreciation and amortization in the period was SEK 15.2 (13.7) million, of which SEK 14.0 (13.1) million related to amortization of capitalized expenditure for development.

At the end of the period, the net value of capitalized expenditure for development was SEK 214.9 (172.1) million. Capitalized expenditure for development of SEK 37.1 million was received coincident with the acquisition of ScheduALL.

EMPLOYEES

At the end of the period, Net Insight had 204 (138) employees, of which 124 (123) were employed by the parent company Net Insight AB (publ). The increase for the group primarily relates to the acquisition of ScheduALL.

PARENT COMPANY

Parent company net sales in the first quarter were SEK 121.7 (110.5) million and net earnings for the period were SEK 19.3 (6.3) million.

RISK AND SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS

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, those 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 2015 arose in 2016.

For a complete review of the company's risk and sensitivity analysis, and its risk management process, see page 32 of the Annual Report for 2015.

SEASONALITY

In the past three calendar years, average seasonality has been fairly modest. In the first quarter, net sales were 22 per cent, in the second quarter 26 per cent, in the third quarter 25 per cent, and in the fourth quarter 27 per cent of yearly sales.

  • (a) Support revenues that ScheduALL would have recognized if they had remained a stand-alone entity, but that Net Insight is not permitted to recognize as revenue under IFRS as a result of business combination accounting rules. The effects of these business combination rules will gradually decrease, and has most effect on the income during the first six months after the acquisition.
  • (b) Amortizations related to the intangible assets trademark and customer relations – that Net Insight recognized under IFRS as a result of business combination accounting rules, but that ScheduALL would not have recognized if they had remained a stand-alone entity. These amortizations will continue to effect the income over time.
  • (c) Acquisition related third-party advisory expenses. These costs are one-time expenses.
  • (d) Share-based benefits are value changes in amounts held in escrow for participation in the synthetic share program.
  • (e) During the second quarter 2015, after decision at the AGM, the group and parent company introduced a synthetic option program and in connection with this started to repurchase own shares. The synthetic options are remeasured on a current basis to fair value by applying an options valuation model. The changes in value during the term of the options are recognized as a fi nancial item. The synthetic option program is fully hedged via repurchase of own shares, hence the changes in value will have no future effect on cash flow. The repurchased of own shares is deducted from equity; retained earnings, and are not remeasu red to fair value on a current basis.
  • (f) Development expenses in the quarter were charged with a non-recurring expense of SEK 3.4 million as a result of a minor reorganization of the R&D operations aimed at rationalizing the development process.
