INVISIO®

Strong order intake and sales

Q3 was one of the strongest quarters in INVISIO's history. For the first time, orders of INVISIO proprietary products exceeded SEK 500 million. At the same time, revenue climbed to just over SEK 350 million, which was our highest-ever figure for a third quarter. Looking ahead, we expect market activity to remain high for many years to come. Modernization needs remain high in our customer segments, and the impact on the market of sharp increases in military spending will become increasingly apparent as we go forward. As a global market leader, we look forward to seizing the opportunities offered by a progressively dynamic market.

Lars Højgård Hansen, CEO

Key events during the quarter

In August INVISIO received an order worth approximately SEK 170 million for Racal Acoustics-branded advanced communication systems with hearing protection. The customer is a United States Department of Defense organization and the majority of deliveries will take place this year.

Key events after the quarter

Our new X7, V60 II ADP and RA4000 Magna products and our Intercom system attracted strong interest at AUSA in Washington DC, one of the biggest trade shows of the year.

CEO's comments

Strong order intake and sales

The third quarter of 2024 was one of the strongest in INVISIO's history. Order intake exceeded SEK 500 million for the first time, discounting the one-off third-party radio order received in Q1.

Revenue of just over SEK 350 million was also the highest ever for a third quarter. This was achieved despite a somewhat slower pace of deliveries due to the summer vacation period.

During the quarter we also completed final delivery of the radio system order that was announced in March 2024. Revenue from this consignment was less than SEK 10 million in Q3. The maintenance and service packages that form part of that contract will be delivered in 2025 and 2026 once the split between proprietary and third-party products has been determined.

The positive trend is clear if we look at how orders have developed in the last 12 months. Order intake on a rolling 12-month basis stands at almost SEK 1.5 billion, which is the highest level in our history.

Order book and inventory levels bode well for deliveries

At the end of the quarter, the order book totaled SEK 866.7 million (717.5) and inventories had risen to SEK 303.4 million (216.8). These figures indicate significant future revenue inflow. The gross margin was 57.7 percent (61.3). During the quarter, the gross margin declined slightly due to deliveries of

third-party products, including the radio order mentioned above, which command a lower margin compared to proprietary INVISIO products.

Operating expenses were steady and broadly in line with the previous four quarters, resulting in an operating margin of 16.3 percent (16.4).

Continued market strength

Demand continues to be strong across our product portfolio and in both our main geographical markets, North America and Europe.

It was especially pleasing to see the continued success of the Racal Acoustics brand, particularly in the US. Large contracts during the quarter included a SEK 170 million order for communication systems, which we received in August. The order, placed by a unit of the US Department of Defense, includes the RA4000 Magna™ and RA5001 Raptor models – both intended for use in heavy vehicles. Most of these deliveries are scheduled for the current year. The order consolidates Racal Acoustics' position as the global market leader in its field.

Strong interest in new products

The major international trade shows are important marketing channels for INVISIO and in October we attended AUSA in Washington DC, one of the biggest fairs of the year.

At this event we exhibited various products, including the new X7 in-ear headset. The X7's

groundbreaking hearing protection again attracted great interest among visitors and, as expected, has already generated several volume orders. The new V60 II ADP control unit, designed to meet the growing demands of increased digitalization, also gained significant attention. The ability of the V60 II ADP to efficiently handle both audio and data traffic while also optimizing electricity use positions it as an innovative solution for future needs.

Positive future outlook

We expect market activity to remain high for many years to come. Modernization need remains high in our customer segments, and the impact on the market of sharp increases in military spending will become increasingly apparent as we go forward.

Trends in our favor also include the fact that customers are increasingly opting for proven and ready-made solutions that do not demand customization, as often used to be the case. This gives us another significant competitive advantage.

The investments we have made in recent years have broadened our product portfolio and customer base while also strengthening our skills and expertise. From this advanced position, we now look forward to seizing the opportunities offered by a progressively dynamic market.

Order inflow, revenue and profit

Q3 2024

Order intake during the quarter was SEK 503.1 million (258.4). This is the first time that order intake for INVISIO's products has exceeded SEK 500 million in a single quarter.

The order book at the end of the period had a total value of SEK 866.7 million (717.5). As previously communicated, on March 12 2024 INVISIO received an order for thirdparty radio systems. At the end of Q3, one maintenance and spare parts package remained to be delivered from this order. This delivery will take place in 2025 and 2026. The allocation between INVISIO proprietary products and third-party products in this package has yet to be defined. Excluding the maintenance and spare parts package, the order book totaled SEK 799.4 million at the end of the quarter.

Revenue was SEK 351.7 million (311.6). In comparable currencies, revenue totaled SEK 355.2 million. Revenue excluding the radio order was SEK 342.6 million.

Cash flow for the third quarter 2024 was SEK 132.1 million (–15.6), with cash flow from operating activities totaling SEK 152.6 million (1.8). The change in cash flow from operating activities was mainly attributable to strong sales performance at the end of Q2, with revenue being realized through payment inflow in Q3.

The inventory value increased slightly compared to Q2 and totaled SEK 303.4 million (216.8). Inventory value reflects the value of future deliveries.

Cash flow from investing activities during the quarter was SEK –17.4 million (–14.3).

Cash flow from operating activities in the quarter and R12 (SEKm)

Cash flow from financing activities was SEK –3.2 million (–3.1).

For the nine months ended September 30, cash flow totaled SEK 13.5 million (80.2), of which cash flow from operating activities was SEK 134.1 million (167.9).

Cash flow from investing activities totaled SEK –51.8 million (–62.8).

Cash flow from financing activities, which amounted to SEK –68.8 million (–24.9), was impacted by the dividend payment earlier this year.

Capitalized development expenses stood at SEK –41.5 million (–28.1) and net investments in property, plant and equipment were SEK –9.9 million (–33.8).

Cash and cash equivalents and financial position

INVISIO has a solid financial position. At the end of the quarter, group cash and cash equivalents totaled SEK 242.7 million (211.2)

Equity was SEK 845.8 million (696.3), equal to an equity/assets ratio of 69 percent (66).

Other information

Parent company

The parent company reported revenue in Q3 of SEK 0.0 million (0.0) and an operating loss of SEK 3.1 million (loss: 2.5). Net financial income was SEK 52.7 million (–0.1). At the close of the period, the parent company's cash and bank balances were SEK 59.6 million (41.5). Equity stood at SEK 437.8 million (356.9), which gave an equity/assets ratio of 99 percent (99). The parent company had 1 employee (1).

Employees

Group employees, restated as full-time equivalents, totaled 274 (238) at September 30. Of these, 227 were male (196) and 47 female (42).

Since the beginning of the year, 41 people have joined the company, of whom almost 25 percent are female. This aligns with INVISIO's ambition to achieve a more equal gender balance.

As in many technology companies, INVISIO has a relatively low ratio of female employees. The stated objective is for both sexes to be represented among the final candidates 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 evaluate 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 2023 annual report.

Financial instruments

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

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.

INVISIO's personal and Intercom systems

INVISIO's offer consists of personal communication systems for use in the field and in vehicles, and an Intercom system for use in different 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 allows personal communication equipment users to communicate within their group and with other parties during transportation and wirelessly in the vicinity of a vehicle.

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 sectors in the US and Europe and selected countries in Asia. The company estimates the total addressable market for personal communication 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. 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 from the head office 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.

Large transactions are usually the result of a procurement process. 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 time frame than any single quarter or year.

For INVISIO branded products, deliveries are usually made 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.

The company estimates it will deliver around 80 percent of the order book within 12 months.

Organizational structure focused on core business

INVISIO focuses on development and sales, subcontracting most manufacturing to European contract manufacturers. Outsourcing manufacturing to eternal partners creates flexibility in managing variations in order volume.

High growth with solid profitability

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

Despite two years of disruption due to the pandemic, average annual sales grew by 28 percent in the five-year period from 2019 to 2023. The operating margin exceeded 15 percent in that period.

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 and society at large.

Auditor's report

Unofficial translation

INVISIO AB corp. reg. no. 556651-0987

Introduction

We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) of INVISIO AB as of September 30, 2024, and the nine-month period then ended. The board of directors and the CEO are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.

Scope of review

We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410, Review of Interim Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review consists of making inquiries,

primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA) and other generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the

Swedish Annual Accounts Act, regarding the Group, and with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, regarding the parent company.

Note 4 Tax

Deferred tax assets arising from tax-loss carry forwards 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 in terms of historical performance and scope for utilizing the tax-loss carryforwards.

The group's total tax-loss carryforwards stood at SEK 177.7 million (162.0) at September 30, 2024, of which none were 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.

Financial key figures, alternative performance measures and other definitions

INVISIO's financial statements include financial key figures that are specified in current financial reporting rules, alternative performance measures (APMs) as defined by ESMA, and other key figures related to the business. The APMs are relevant for investors that want to deepen their understanding of the company's results and financial position. Definitions and reconciliation of the APMs that are not directly reconcilable with the financial statements can be found below. Reconciliation is against the closest comparable IFRS financial measure.

Gross margin

Gross profit as a percentage of total income.

Key figures excluding orders for thirdparty radio systems

Net financial items

Financial income less financial expenses.

Number of employees at close of period

The number of employees on the date of the last payroll payment for the period.

Number of shares

Number of shares outstanding at the close of the period.

Number of shares after dilution

Selling and marketing costs, administrative expenses and development costs.

Operating margin
