Good growth and profitability development in the Lasernet business.

Sales increased by 5% (5%) to SEK 130 million (124 million) for the Group, primarily driven by the Lasernet business. Recurring revenues grew by 10% to SEK 109 million (99 million) with good growth in SaaS, where revenues increased by 30% to SEK 44 million (34 million). ACV amounted to SEK 7 million (8 million) and ARR grew by 7% to SEK 437 million (408 million).

EBIT grew to SEK 16 million (13 million), resulting in a margin of 12% (11%), excluding non-recurring costs of SEK 6 million related to restructuring in Public and Group Management.

The Public business area in continued transition

Net sales in the Public business area were unchanged in the third quarter at SEK 74 million (74 million), while recurring revenue increased by 8% to SEK 58 million (53 million). During the quarter, we took business with a couple of municipalities and expanded the business with Danish Agricultural Agency and the Swedish Armed Forces. The delivery organization has had a good start after the summer break. EBIT before items affecting comparability amounted to SEK 16 million (16 million), resulting in a margin of 22% (22%). The quarter was charged with SEK 3 million in non-recurring costs attributable to staff reductions.

The technological development, especially on the cloud side, that has taken place in recent years, makes it possible to expand and share functionality between our well-established platforms for case management. During the quarter, we intensified our development and increased our development costs in the short term. The outcome has been positive and we are now planning to carry out pilot projects with selected customers. The public sector places high demands on privacy and security. We are therefore scaling up gradually with more customers and more functionality.

Stable improvement in business area Private

Net sales grew in the third quarter to SEK 56 million (48 million) with a stable profitability development of EBIT of SEK 5 million (1 million), resulting in a strengthened margin of 8% (3%). Recurring revenues amounted to SEK 51 million (45 million) while ACV amounted to SEK 6 million (5 million), of which planned churn in Life Science is SEK 1.2 million, as we take the product Platina Life Science off the market to increase our focus on the Lasernet business. With this, going forward we will re-name business area Private to Lasernet.

We have won several deals in ERP, including American Outdoor Brands and two new customers in Banking and Finance. We have launched our new product packaging, where the entry-level Essentials gives Dynamics users all over the world the opportunity to try and be productive with our Lasernet platform with virtually no barriers to entry. I am convinced that this will accelerate our growth further. I just returned from the Dynamics Community Summit in San Antonio, Texas, and the feedback I've received so far is positive. Above all, our partners see that Essentials in the long run will provide more Lasernet users, which will be positive for our partners' consulting business and thus strengthen them and our contribution to the Dynamics ecosystem.

"We have launched our new product packaging Lasernet Essentials"

Comments from the Group's CEO

After the end of period, we were subject to a cyberattack in our Danish operations. The incident has been communicated separately on October 18 and only hit internal servers. We assess that the incident had a limited impact on the business.

Finally, I welcome our new CFO Sophie Reinius to Formpipe. Now we will continue our change work that makes us the leading digitalization partner for the public sector and the best provider of document management in the ERP and Banking ecosystems where we are active. We have followed our plan and are starting to see the results from a lot of work. Now we are looking ahead with a stronger offer.

Magnus Svenningson, CEO Formpipe

Content Services

Data and information become more and more important for the financial development: it is the foundation for many new products and services, which leads to productivity and resource efficiency gains in all sectors of the economy. Being able to take advantage of the possibilities of digitalization has become one of the most important issues of our time. The benefits of being able to collect, process and present data are extensive.

Formpipe's prod c s are sed o crea e, s ore, distribute, automate, relocate, archive and manage information, data and metadata regarding e.g. scanned documents, e-mail, reports, records, business documents or information from other source systems. The goal is to be able to refine and analyze content from one or more sources, to thereby provide the right insights by the right people receiving relevant information when they need it. It is in the Content Services (previously Enterprise Content Management) market that Formpipe has grown to become a market leader in the public sector and a strong challenger in the private sector where we digitalize and streamline customer communication in sectors such as retail, finance and manufacturing.

The growth in the market is fuelled in large part by the organizational and corporate-wide need to streamline operations and meet legal requirements and regulations. To be able to get the value out of the collective amount of information at companies and organizations, applications and services are needed – in order to securely – collaborate, search, analyze, process and distribute data and content. Growth drivers tend to gain strength as the amount of data and information increases.

Gar er's forecas for he global marke is a average annual growth (CAGR) of 10 percent in 2020-2024. The Content Services market is estimated to be USD1 11 billion in system revenue.

Transition to Software as a Service

An important part of the change of the Content Services market is also that the development is moving increasingly towards cloud-based solutions, where the customers pay for what is used and where costs for development, operations, maintenance, upgrade and support are included in the running agreement. The transition to SaaS is taking place very quickly now and Gartner estimates that the SaaS revenues will reach up to 60 percent of the total sales of software in 20242 .

Business areas

Private sector

In the private sector, the business revolves around the product Lasernet. Through a certified partner network, Formpipe addresses the global market for ERP and banking systems. The most common purchase of Lasernet and Formpipe's complementary offering Autoform DM takes place when implementing, or upgrading to, Microsoft Dynamics 365 in industries such as manufacturing, retail and utilities and Temenos Transact and Infinity in banking and finance. The partner network thus primarily consists of implementation partners of these systems and constitutes a sales and delivery channel for Formpipe's offering.

The growth of Formpipe's business in the private sector is based on being included in more and more of Microsoft's and Temenos' business and offering Lasernet and Autoform DM as SaaS. In the Dynamics market, this is done via a globally certified partner network and with Temenos through a strengthened partner relationship.

Public sector

Hundreds of authorities, municipalities, universities and state- and municipally owned companies today build their public administration around Formpipe's products. Based on Formpipe's market share for its platforms in Denmark and Sweden, the business is growing mainly through additional sales of add-ons to these, which are primarily co-created in customer projects. Customers' needs revolve around the requirements for a more efficient, innovative and data-driven business.

The focus for these add-ons is on business processes linked to record keeping, such as archiveproof and secure digital signatures or an application for collaboration on meeting documents for municipal politicians. In the Swedish public sector, Formpipe has a stable customer base in municipalities, regions and authorities.

In the Swedish public sector, up to SEK 45 billion is invested in IT every year.

The Swedish government's ambition is for state authorities, municipalities and regions to be the best in the world at using the opportunities of digitalisation to create an efficient public sector - a simpler everyday life for private individuals and companies, more jobs and increased welfare. Digital solutions and automation are an important component for meeting the growing welfare needs and at the same time increasing the service to the citizens.

Formpipe is also a leading supplier of digital government software in the Danish public sector. Digital solutions and automation create opportunities to meet the growing welfare needs and at the same time increase the service to the citizens.
