CEO's comments

A strong end to 2023 and a promising start to 2024

INVISIO's positive trajectory continued during the last quarter of the year. Revenue totaled SEK 345.8 million (289.2), and on an annualized basis exceeded SEK 1.2 billion. This represents an increase of 60 percent compared to last year. Order inflow was also strong during the quarter, totaling almost SEK 300 million. The order book topped SEK 600 million at the end of the quarter, giving us a solid start to 2024.

Our performance in revenue and order intake testifies to the success of the investments in product development and marketing that we have implemented in recent years. We have today a strong market position and are in all respects a more mature company. We are thus well equipped to benefit from the opportunities offered by current market conditions.

High levels of market activity

The activity level in our markets remains high, especially in Europe. However, it is important to emphasize that the current strong demand is not primarily a consequence of increasing defense budgets but mainly stems from customers' general and long-term modernization and updating of equipment.

An additional strengthened demand, as a result of increasing defense budgets, is not expected to have an impact until the latter part of 2024 and thereafter.

Strong profitability

In Q4 the gross margin was impacted by a couple of lower-margin deliveries executed through system integrators. The full-year gross margin was just over 60 percent, which was an improvement on 2022 and a clear indication that the higher component costs associated with the covid pandemic are now behind us.

Underlying operating costs continued to follow the stable trend that we have seen in recent years. However, Q4 expenses included an impairment loss of around SEK 7 million arising from a change in strategic direction for a development project.

The operating margin was 18.0 percent (20.7) during the quarter, and excluding the project impairment loss was 20.0 percent.

For the full year, the operating margin was almost 20 percent (8.4).

Strong market for military vehicles

Sales of Racal Acoustics branded products were very strong during the year.

A combination of intensive activity in the vehicle market, the launch of the RA4000 Magna digital headset and a gradual market withdrawal by one of the largest North American providers delivered a strong rise in sales.

We anticipate that the product portfolio will enjoy highly attractive market conditions in the next few years.

High interest in Intercom system

During the year we received a number of significant orders for our Intercom system. Together, these exceeded SEK 100 million in value. Interest in the solution remains high and a number of customers in Europe and the US are currently evaluating it. This should lead to more major orders in 2024.

We are confident that the Intercom system will account for a significant portion of total group revenue over the long term.

Law enforcement and security market

We continued to address the law enforcement and security market throughout 2023. In this area, too, we received a large number of orders during the year, and new tests were carried out. This creates a strong platform for a continued positive trend in this area.

In 2024 we will selectively address the firefighting market, where a demanding user environment ensures strong need for our solutions.

X7 – our next-generation in-ear headset

The start of 2024 saw the launch of the X7, our next-generation in-ear headset with AI enhancement. The product, developed using the latest technology and drawing on extensive input from users in the field, features a range of new functions and an ergonomic design that is perfectly tailored to the human ear.

The headset sets a new professional benchmark and gives users a tactical advantage when performing the most demanding tasks in the most challenging environments. We expect strong sales of this product in 2024.

Focus on security issues and positive future outlook

The highly uncertain geopolitical landscape continues to keep defense and security issues high on the agenda, while a major need exists for modern communications equipment in many countries. These factors lead us to expect a continued high level of demand in 2024 and for several years to come.

and product development, and an increased marketing footprint that included attendance at more than 60 trade fairs.

Inventory value increased to SEK 238.2 million (144.4), reflecting an increase in upcoming deliveries. INVISIO's capacity for fast delivery gives the group a competitive advantage and is in part a consequence of maintaining a relatively large stock of standard products.

Cash flow from investing activities in 2023 was SEK –55.0 million (–33.5). This increase related primarily to higher capitalized product development expenses as the group's planned investments in proprietary products progressed as scheduled.

Other information

Parent company

The parent company reported revenue in 2023 of SEK 0.1 million (0.1). Operating profit was SEK –12.5 million (–11.6).

Net financial income totaled SEK 50.4 million (37.0), which included dividends from subsidiaries of SEK 52.5 million during Q2.

Cash and bank balances were SEK 39.6 million (5.0) at the close of the period. Equity of SEK 356.6 million (281.9) resulted in an equity/assets ratio of 98 percent (80).

The parent company had 1 employee (1) at the end of the period.

Employees

Group employees, restated as full-time equivalents, totaled 248 (208) at 31 December. The breakdown was 206 male (169) and 42 female employees (39).

As in many technology companies, INVISIO has a relatively low ratio of female employees. The company's stated ambition is for both genders to be represented on candidate shortlists in all recruitment processes. The long-term goal is to achieve greater gender parity within the organization.

Material risks and uncertainties

A variety of external and internal factors can impact the group's business activities and earnings. INVISIO operates a continuous process to identify all risks and how each should be managed. Risks are grouped as follows: market-based; operating; sustainability and climate-related; and financial.

For a more detailed description of these risks, please refer to the 2022 annual report.

Financial instruments

The fair value of the group's financial assets and liabilities is estimated to be equal to book value.

Dividend

The board of directors proposes a dividend of SEK 1.30 (0.70) per share for 2023.

The board's dividend policy requires dividend payments to take account of INVISIO's long-term growth, profitability and capital needs and also to consider the group's financial targets. Over time, INVISIO aims to distribute between 25 and 50 percent of profit after tax as dividends.

The group has distributed a total of SEK 162 million to shareholders in the last five years, which equates to 60 percent of the company's aggregate profit after tax of SEK 270 million during this period. Including the dividend proposed for this year, the figure is 49 percent.

Review

This year-end bulletin has not been reviewed by the group's auditors.

Stockholm, February 13, 2024 Lars Højgård Hansen, CEO

INVISIO in brief

INVISIO's core business is to develop and market advanced communication systems that help professionals in noisy and mission-critical environments to work more safely and effectively while protecting their hearing.

Personal system and Intercom solution

INVISIO's offer consists of personal communication systems for use in the field and in vehicles, and an Intercom system for use in various forms of transport.

The personal communication equipment reduces high noise levels and enables disruption-free communication in noisy and mission-critical environments.

The Intercom system makes it possible for personal equipment users to communicate within their team and with others while on the move.

Products are marketed under the INVISIO and Racal Acoustics brands.

A growing niche market

INVISIO primarily serves customers in the defense, law enforcement and security industries in the US and Europe and selected countries in Asia. The company estimates the total addressable market for personal equipment and the Intercom system to be worth around SEK 14 billion annually.

Around 85 percent of revenue comes from European and US defense customers. However, the company sees steadily increasing business opportunities in the law enforcement and security markets, as well as in new geographical markets.

Sales primarily through own channels

Sales are driven by head office teams in Copenhagen and by INVISIO sales offices in the US, France, Italy, the UK and Thailand. A global network of partners and resellers also sells the group's products.

Major business transactions are normally via procurement processes. These procedures are often time-consuming due to extensive customer testing and administrative processes.

INVISIO has long-term framework agreements with customers in the US, Canada, the UK, Australia, Sweden and Denmark, among others.

Uneven order and revenue flow and variable delivery times

Order intake and sales can fluctuate between quarters and the company's development should therefore be evaluated over a longer timeframe than any single quarter or year.

For INVISIO branded products, deliveries are usually within two to six months. For Racal

Acoustics solutions, it is not uncommon for an initial part-delivery to be made within six months and for remaining deliveries to be completed only after one to three years, in line with the customer's roll-out plans and vehicle deliveries.

Organization geared to core business

INVISIO focuses on product development and sales, with European contract manufacturers handling most of the production.

Outsourcing manufacturing to external partners ensures the flexibility to manage variations in order volume.

High growth with sound profitability

INVISIO is a growth company whose financial targets are average sales growth of 20 percent per year and an operating margin exceeding 15 percent over time.

Despite two years of disruption arising from the covid pandemic, average annual sales grew by 19 percent in the five-year period from 2019 to 2023, while the operating margin averaged above 15 percent in the same timeframe.

The share is listed on Nasdaq Stockholm in the Mid Cap segment.

Facilitating secure communication with full hearing protection in critical situations enables INVISIO to create value for individuals as well as for society at large.

Note 4 / Tax

Deferred tax assets referring to tax loss carryforwards are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax losses and unused tax credits can be utilized. An individual assessment is made of each subsidiary with reference to historical performance and possibilities of utilizing the tax loss carryforwards.

The group's total tax loss carryforwards as at December 31, 2023, were SEK 164.7 million (150.2), of which none are capitalized. Unutilized tax loss carryforwards refer mainly to the parent company and cannot be capitalized at present. All tax loss carryforwards have an unlimited life.
