COMMENTS FROM THE CEO
The first quarter of 2025 marks our third consecutive quarter of year-over-year organic net sales growth. I am very pleased that this sales increase has translated into organic gross profit growth across all regions and product categories. Gross profit grew by 4 percent in total and 2 percent organically, representing an improvement compared to the previous quarters.
Our Adjusted EBITDA increased 8 percent organically, primarily due to gross profit growth and the efficiency program we executed in 2024. While we continue to manage our costs carefully, we invest selectively to capture prioritized growth opportunities and unlock further synergies. Our cash conversion over the past 12 months was 50 percent, which is at the upper end of our guidance range of 40–50 percent. The underlying cash generation remained strong this quarter, although we saw an increase in working capital driven by a temporary impact following a cost-optimization agreement with one of our larger suppliers. While this agreement positively affects our gross margin and profitability, it has also resulted in a temporary working capital increase which is expected to gradually normalize in the coming quarters.
At our Capital Markets Day, we introduced four strategic levers to reaccelerate growth:
I am encouraged to see strong activity and tangible results across all these levers in our regions and product categories this quarter. The number of large enterprise customers increased by 5 percent year-over-year, while gross profit from self-serve products grew by 13 percent over the same period. Our email products reported double-digit organic gross profit growth, globally. Additionally, the number of RCS messages sent by our customers exceeded 600 million, which approximately meant a 50 percent increase versus the last quarter of 2024.
APAC remains our fastest-growing operating segment in terms of organic gross profit, and the expansion of enterprise accounts throughout Asia is one of the primary drivers. When it comes to RCS, traffic in India continues to grow steadily, and we are leveraging strong partnerships with operators and regional banks to stimulate growth across the broader Asia region.
In the Americas, we continue to add new enterprise customers, with a steady flow of new case studies highlighted on sinch.com. Email remains a rapid growth area reporting double-digit growth in the quarter. To further broaden the customer base, we launched Mailgun in Latin America in April. Additionally, we have announced new strategic partnerships in AI with OneReach.ai. I am also proud to share that we were once again named Customer Experience Partner of the Year by Adobe. Moreover, industry analysts IDC and Omdia reaffirmed our leadership in CPaaS, specifically highlighting
our progress in RCS and AI-enabled customer communications. Organic gross profit growth in Network Connectivity also turned positive this quarter, reflecting successful cost optimization efforts by our regional team.

In EMEA, we see continued year on year growth in the quarter in both API Platform and Applications. Growth within these product categories is largely driven by larger enterprise customers and email products. RCS for Business remains a high-priority topic in the region and was prominently discussed with customers and partners at Mobile World Congress and numerous partner events throughout the quarter.
Overall, we have had a good start to the year, delivering another stable quarter from a financial perspective. The improvement in organic growth gives me confidence in our strategic execution and confirms that we are on the right track to achieving our midterm financial targets.
While we continue to see solid demand in our core markets, we are carefully monitoring external factors. The recently implemented US tariffs do not include services and hence do not directly impact Sinch. However, macroeconomic uncertainty broadly impacts the economy. Amid these uncertain conditions, Sinch continues to play a critical role in supporting enterprises. We help our customers retain and engage their customer base through smarter growth strategies, reduced delivery costs, and maximized engagement ROI. While we still have not experienced any negative impact on our business, we remain vigilant on cost and are ready to take further action if needed.
Finally, I would like to extend a warm welcome to our new CFO, Jonas Dahlberg. I am delighted to have him on board as we continue our journey.

Sinchs operating segments are three regions of Americas, EMEA, and APAC. In addition to the operating segments a complementary view covering the three product categories, Applications, API Platform, and Network Connectivity, is also presented.
Consolidated net sales in Q1 increased by 4 percent to SEK 7,049m (6,792) compared to Q1 2024.
Organic growth is defined as growth in local currency and excluding acquisitions. There have been no material acquisitions or disposals in the past 12 months. Accordingly, the differences between reported and organic growth for Q1 are explained solely by exchange rate changes.
The currency effect corresponded to SEK 29m. Organic net sales increased by 3 percent compared to Q1 2024.
Organic net sales in Q1 increased in Americas and EMEA and decreased in APAC.
Organic net sales also increased in all product categories, Applications, API Platform, and Network Connectivity. See Note 10.
The gross margin was 34 percent (34) for the period.
Consolidated gross profit increased in Q1 by 4 percent compared to Q1 2024 and amounted to 2,408 SEK (2,312). The increase is due primarily to the higher net sales and a slightly higher gross margin resulting from a changed product and customer mix.
The currency tailwind was 2 percent for the period, corresponding to SEK 45m. Organic gross profit grew by 2 percent compared to the same period last year.
The gross margin increased in APAC, was stable in Americas, and decreased in EMEA. Organic gross profit rose in all operating segments, Americas, EMEA, and APAC.
The gross margin was stable in the Applications product category, increased in API Platform, and decreased in Network Connectivity. Organic gross profit also increased in all product categories, Applications, API Platform, and Network Connectivity.

Operating expenses, defined as the difference between gross profit and EBITDA, increased by 8 percent to SEK 1,667m (1,544) compared to the same period in 2024. Out of the SEK 122m increase SEK 110m relates to operational foreign exchange losses. The increased cost base was further affected by underlying inflation-related cost increases, increased employee benefits expenses related to salary revisions, variable pay, and the costs of share-based incentive programs, as well as increased integration costs. These increases were partially offset by workforce reductions, decreased restructuring costs, and other savings from synergies coming from increased level of integration.
Adjusted operating expenses, defined as the difference between gross profit and Adjusted EBITDA, were relatively flat and SEK 1,519m (1,518) compared to the same period in 2024. Adjusted operating expenses excluding impact from foreign exchange movements declined by 1% compared to the same period in 2024.
Adjusted EBITDA amounted to SEK 889m (794), an increase by 12 percent compared to the same period in 2024. Foreign exchange movements improved EBITDA by SEK 29m, or 4 percent. Organic Adjusted EBITDA grew by 8 percent compared to the same period last year.
The Adjusted EBITDA margin was 13 percent (12).
Total Adjusted EBITDA was SEK 149m (26) higher than EBITDA for the period. The adjustments include operational foreign exchange gains/losses of SEK -67m (43), integration costs of SEK -65m (-49) and restructuring costs of SEK -3m (-18). See the quarterly summary and Note 2 for more information.
Adjusted EBITDA/gross profit was 37 percent (34) for the period.
EBITDA decreased by 4 percent to SEK 740m (768). Foreign exchange movements improved EBITDA by SEK 29m, or 4 percent. Organic EBITDA declined by 8 percent compared to the same period last year.
The consolidated EBITDA margin was 11 percent (11).
EBIT amounted to SEK 124m (151).
Acquisition-related amortization, which does not affect cash flow, reduced EBIT by SEK -476m (-481). The amortization refers mainly to straight-line amortization of acquired customer relationships and acquired software.
Adjusted EBIT (EBIT excluding EBITDA adjustments and amortization and impairments of acquisition-related assets) amounted to SEK 749m (658). See the quarterly summary and Note 2 for specifications.
Net financial expenses were SEK -132m (-111), including net interest expenses of SEK -69m (-131) and foreign exchange differences of SEK -60m (25).
The Group's effective tax rate, excluding acquisition-related amortization and impairments and associated deferred tax assets, for the period was 30 percent (30). The higher tax rate is driven by current and deferred tax in previous years and non-capitalized loss carryforwards. Reported effective tax rate was -498 percent (326).
The net loss for the period amounted to SEK -47m (-90).
Cash flow before the change in working capital amounted to SEK 619m (557). Cash flow was reduced by tax paid of SEK -111m (-57) and net interest paid and received of SEK -76m (-131).
Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 60m (553) and was impacted by the total change in working capital of SEK -560m (-4). Working capital in Q1 was within normal variation but increased from last quarter due to reduction of accounts payable and to a temporarily increase in prepaid expenses of about SEK 370m following a costoptimization agreement with one of our largest suppliers. The effect is expected to

normalize in later quarters this year. The balance of account receivables reduced from last quarter.
Cash used in investing activities was SEK -163m (-131) and was affected by net investments of SEK -164m (-129), consisting primarily of capitalized development expenditure of SEK -106m (-99).
Cash used in financing activities was SEK -216m (-645) for the period, where the change in borrowings impacted net cash by SEK -183m (-615). Net cash flow for the period was SEK -319m (-223).
Consolidated cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2025, amounted to SEK 719m (756).
Net debt amounted to SEK 5,887m (7,848) and includes IFRS 16-related lease liabilities of SEK 770m (923). One of Sinch's financial targets is that net debt over time shall be below 2.5 times Adjusted EBITDA (measured on a rolling twelve month basis). Excluding IFRS 16 related lease liabilities, net debt in relation to Adjusted EBITDA R12M was 1.4x (2.0).
As of March 31, Sinch had total available credit facilities of SEK 9,508m (12,765), of which the company had used SEK 4,001m (7,078). These consisted of:
In addition, senior unsecured bonds have been issued in the amount of SEK 500m (750) that will mature in September 2027, as well as issued commercial paper of SEK 1.330m (0) that will mature in less than 12 months.
Financial liabilities decreased by SEK -183m (625) in Q1. During the same period, the company's net debt decreased by SEK -125m (139).
In total, Sinch had cash and cash equivalents of SEK 719m and unused loans, credit facilities and overdraft facilities of SEK 5,507m as of March 31, 2025.
Shares were issued in relation to employee stock options/warrants under the Group's incentive programs. See Note 4.
Equity at March 31, 2025, amounted to SEK 26,407m (35,389), corresponding to an equity ratio of 60 percent (65).
At the end of the quarter, the Group employed 4,091 (4,166) people, including consultants. The average number of employees and consultants during the period was 4,099 (4,197). The average number of employees was 3,557 (3,521), of whom 34 (32) percent women.

Americas is Sinch's largest operating segment and contributes more than 60 percent of consolidated net sales and gross profit. The region includes both North and Latin America with the US and Brazil being the largest contributing countries.

Net sales in Q1 increased by 8 percent compared to the corresponding quarter in 2024 and amounted to SEK 1,688m (1,551). The corresponding organic growth in local currency was 7 percent.
The gross margin was 31 percent (33) for the quarter. The gross margin was mainly affected by a change in product mix during Q1 and specifically in Network Connectivity due to a lower share of project-based contracts.
In total, gross profit increased in Q1 by 3 percent to SEK 518m (504) compared to Q1 2024, driven primarily by higher sales. Organic gross profit also grew by 3 percent.
Gross profit in Applications and API Platform improved compared to the same quarter last year, with the largest increase in API Platform. The change in Network Connectivity is negative compared to the corresponding quarter and shows lower volume due to an adverse timing effect linked to project-based contracts, which is expected to normalize in later quarters this year.

Net sales decreased by 5 percent compared to Q1 2024 and amounted to SEK 949m (995). All business during the quarter is classified as organic. Organic net sales in local currencies decreased by 4 percent.
The downturn in net sales is due to lower sales in API Platform where decreased SMS sales in India were only partially offset by increased sales elsewhere in Asia.
The gross margin was 40 percent (37) for the quarter. The improved gross margin is mainly attributable to a changed product and customer mix and, to a certain extent, cost optimization.
Gross profit in Q1 amounted to SEK 380m (364).
Gross profit grew by 4 percent compared to the same quarter last year, driven mainly by growth in Asia. Organic gross profit grew by 5 percent. The gross profit growth is attributable primarily to an improved gross margin.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and the applicable provisions of the Annual Accounts Act. Disclosures in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting are provided in notes and elsewhere in the interim report. The interim report for the parent company has been prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act, which is in accordance with RFR 2 Accounting of Legal Entities. The accounting policies and estimation methods are unchanged from those applied in the 2024 Annual Report. The financial statements are presented in SEKm unless otherwise specified. Amounts and calculations presented in the tables are rounded off and may not precisely match the figures presented in the financial statements and notes.
The new or amended IFRS standards applicable in 2025 and later have had no material impact on Sinch's financial statements. Risks and uncertainties relevant to Sinch are described in the 2024 Annual Report.
IASB has published the following new or revised standards, of which only IAS 21 has been adopted by the EU:
In April 2024, IASB published the new IFRS 18 standard Presentation and Disclosures in Financial Statements, which will supersede IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. IFRS 18, if adopted by the EU, will become mandatorily effective January 1, 2027, and will be applied retrospectively in both annual and interim reports.
The new standard introduces three areas with new requirements aimed at increasing the comparability, transparency, and usability of financial reports. The first area sets new requirements for the structure of the consolidated statement of profit or loss (statement of comprehensive income) through the introduction of three new categories and requires entities to present two new defined subtotals, "Operating profit" and "Profit before financing and income taxes." The second area introduces new principles and expanded guidance on presentation and disclosures in the financial statements, including guidance concerning how entities can determine whether information about an item should or
should not be included in the primary financial statements. The third area that IFRS 18 introduces entails new requirements for disclosures about certain key figures that the company uses in its external financial communication, i.e., Management-defined performance measures or "MPMs." Consequent upon the implementation of IFRS 18, there will be amendments to other standards, such as IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows, IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, and IAS 33 Earnings per Share.
Sinch has begun a preliminary assessment of the impacts of IFRS 18 and will continue to assess the impacts in 2025. The implementation of IFRS 18 is going to require changes to the structure of the consolidated statement of comprehensive income (profit or loss) and assessments related to the presentation of items in the financial statements and disclosures in notes. The format of the statement of cash flow will also be affected by the implementation of IFRS 18. The implementation of IFRS 18 will also entail identification of MPMs that are relevant to the Group and compilation of disclosures concerning these performance measures in notes.
The other amendments have been determined as having no material impact on the consolidated or parent company financial statements in the period of initial application. None of the new or revised standards have been early applied by the Group.
Accounts receivable (both billed and unbilled) have an unconditional right to payment. Revenues based on an unconditional right to payment must be reported as unbilled receivables if the amounts have not been billed as of the reporting date, while revenues that have been billed are shown as billed receivables on the balance sheet. Most customers are billed monthly in arrears (after services are rendered) and the unbilled receivables are converted to billed receivables a few days after the close of books.
Contract assets referring to accrued revenue have a conditional right to payment, which means, for example, that Sinch must first satisfy a final contractual obligation before an unconditional right to payment is established.
Financial assets and liabilities are recognized at amortized cost, which is deemed to constitute their fair value because a majority of loan financing is carried at a three-month rate.
There have been no significant changes in the relationships and transactions with related parties compared to that disclosed in the 2024 Annual Report.
EBITDA and EBIT adjustments are intended to clarify performance in underlying operations. The adjustments include acquisition costs, integration costs, operational foreign exchange gains/losses, restructuring costs, costs of share-based incentive programs, and non-recurring adjustments.
The costs of incentive programs are clarified and divided into payroll costs and social insurance costs, where payroll costs are,
in accordance with IFRS 2, an estimated cost that does not affect cash flow and social insurance costs fluctuate with Sinch's price per share. Excluding these costs from Adjusted EBITDA ensures that short-term changes in the share price do not impede analysis of the underlying business and makes it easier to relate Adjusted EBITDA to Sinch's cash flow.

Pledged assets amounted to SEK 111m (119) and contingent liabilities amounted to SEK 31m (117).

Within the framework of the LTI 2024 incentive program adopted by the AGM on May 16, 2024, 277,500 warrants have been granted to senior executives and key employees within Sinch. The warrants were granted at market value corresponding to subscription prices of SEK 9.40, SEK 9.44 and SEK 9.87 for the respective series. The maximum number of instruments in LTI 2024 is 17,100,000.
During the first quarter, 64,371 options from LTI 2022 were exercised at the exercise price of SEK 14,654 per share, where each option carried 1 share. In relation to this, 64,371 shares will be registered with Bolagsverket in the second quarter of 2025. Sinch will consequently gain SEK 1m in equity in Q2.
Total costs for the incentive programs recognized in profit or loss amount to SEK -9m for the period of January-March. Payroll costs for vested employee stock options are included in profit or loss in the amount of SEK -12m (-12). With a corresponding increase in equity and social insurance costs based on the share price, the result improved by SEK 3m (13), resulting in a corresponding reduction of provisions in the balance sheet.
The potential dilutive effect, calculated based on the exercise price of the options in relation to the average share price during the period, is 0.4 percent (0.4) upon exercise of all warrants and employee stock options in all programs. See Note 9 of the 2024 Annual Report for further disclosures regarding the Group's incentive programs LTI 2020, LTI 2020, LTI II 2020, LTI 2021, LTI ll 2021, LTI 2023, and LTI 2024.
Goodwill is tested for impairment annually in the third quarter in connection with updated business plans. Impairment tests are also performed when there is an indication that the asset has decreased in value.
There were no indications of goodwill impairment in the cash generating units in Q1 2025.

Effective January 1, 2024, the new Sinch operating model and operating segments are based on three geographical regions: Americas, EMEA, and APAC. The regions represent the domiciles of our customers.
Sinch discloses supplementary financial information across three product categories.
This product category targets business users and consists of software applications for customer engagement, supporting use cases across marketing, operations, and customer care.
Products within this category target developers and product managers. APIs allow businesses to trigger mobile messaging, voice calling, and emails from their own internal or third-party IT systems.
Network Connectivity products target telecom operators and wholesale voice buyers. The portfolio primarily includes voice and messaging interconnect services, operator software, and services.
Definition: Net profit for the period attributable to owners of the parent divided by the volume-weighted average number of shares outstanding in the period before/after dilution.
The company presents certain financial measurements that are not defined under IFRS. The company believes that these measurements provide useful supplemental information to investors and the company's management for reasons including that they enable evaluation of the company's performance. Because not all companies calculate financial measurements in the same way, these are not always comparable to measurements used by other companies. These financial measurements should therefore not be considered a substitute for measurements defined under IFRS. Please refer to investors.sinch.com for a reconciliation of these financial measurements and organic growth.
Definition: Net sales less the cost of services sold.
Purpose: A large share of Sinch's cost of services sold consists of traffic fees paid to mobile operators. Operator traffic fees differ significantly from one country to the next. Consequently, changes in traffic patterns and the volume mix can have high impact on net sales and the gross margin even though there is no effect on gross profit in absolute numbers.
Definition: Gross profit in relation to net sales.
Purpose: The gross margin reflects the percentage of sales that comprises internal value creation and is not passed on to suppliers.
Definition: Gross profit for the year divided by gross profit in the preceding year.
Definitions: Opex is defined as the difference between gross profit and EBITDA and consists of the following items: Other operating income, Work performed by the entity and capitalized, Other external expenses, Employee benefits expenses, and Other operating expenses.
Definition: Profit for the period before financial income, financial expenses, tax and depreciation, amortization, and impairments of property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets.
Purpose: Enables comparisons of profitability over time, regardless of the effects of the rate of depreciation and amortization of non-current assets, financing structure, and the corporation tax rate.
Definition: Profit for the period before financial income, financial expenses, and tax.
Definition: Adjusted Opex is defined as the difference between gross profit and Adjusted EBITDA and consists of the following items: Other operating income, Work performed by the entity and capitalized, Other external expenses, Employee benefits expenses, Other operating expenses, and EBITDA adjustments.
Definition: Expenditures associated with promoting and selling our products, including acquiring new customers and managing existing customer relationships.
Definition: Expenditures associated with the development, improvement, and technical operations of our products, net of capitalized software development.
Definition: Expenditures for support functions such as finance, human resources, facilities, information technology, and other administrative functions.
Definition: Acquisition costs are such costs incurred as a consequence of a business combination.
Definition: Integration costs arise mainly in connection with business combinations and in connection with the creation of a common IT infrastructure. The nature of the costs consists of alignment of processes, brands, and technical systems. The costs

are of a non-recurring nature but, unlike restructuring costs, they are connected to the entity's current and future operations. As of 2024, integration costs include only external costs and resources.
Definition: Restructuring costs comprise direct costs related to restructuring and have no connection with the company's current operations. Restructuring costs include mainly the costs of laying off employees and indirect costs related to the layoffs.
Definition: EBITDA excluding acquisition costs, integration costs, restructuring costs, operational foreign exchange gains/losses, costs of share-based incentive programs, and non-recurring adjustments.
Purpose: Enables comparison of profitability over time in underlying operations.
Definition: The measure shows the company's Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of gross profit. In addition to net sales, the cost of services sold is included in gross profit.
Definition: EBITDA/Adjusted EBITDA in relation to net sales.
Definition: Amortization of acquired intangible assets/depreciation of acquired property, plant, and equipment. Depreciation of property, plant, and equipment and amortization of other intangible assets are included in acquisition-related amortization/depreciation, as this is a measure of the use of resources necessary to generate profit.
Definition: EBIT after the same adjustments as for Adjusted EBITDA and excluding depreciation/amortization and impairments of non-cash acquisition-related property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets.
Enables comparison of profitability over time, regardless of amortization/depreciation and impairment of acquisition-related property, plant, and equipment, and intangible assets, and independently of financing structure and the corporation tax rate.
Definition: EBIT/Adjusted EBIT in relation to net sales.
Definition: Net profit for the year in relation to net sales. Purpose: The net margin is a performance indicator that indicates the size of the company's profit in relation to its turnover, which is useful to assess the efficiency of the company's operations.
Definition: Bond loans, bank loans, overdraft facilities, commercial paper, and lease liabilities.
Purpose: Used to calculate net debt.
Definition: Interest-bearing liabilities less cash and cash equivalents.
Purpose: Used to track the debt trend and visualize the size of refinancing requirements.
Definition: Net debt divided by adjusted EBITDA, past 12 months. Net debt and Adjusted EBITDA are both measured excluding IFRS 16-related lease liabilities.
Purpose: Shows how many years it would take to pay off the company's debts presuming that net debt and Adjusted EBITDA are constant and with no consideration of other cash flows.
Definition: Equity as a percentage of total assets.
Purpose: Illustrates the company's financial position. A good equity/assets ratio equips the company to manage periods of economic downturn and the financial basis for growth.
Definition: Investments in property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets during the period less divested property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets.
Definition: Cash flow from operating activities adjusted for net investments in property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets during the period.
Definition: Cash flow from operating activities after investments divided by the volume-weighted average number of shares outstanding in the period after dilution.
Purpose: Measures free cash flow per share generated by the business.
Definition: Average number of women in relation to the average total number of employees during the period, recalculated as fulltime equivalents.
Definition: Average number of employees and consultants during the period, recalculated as full-time equivalents.
Definition: Growth in local currency and excluding acquisitions.
Purpose: Sinch's presentation currency is SEK, while a large portion of revenues and costs are in other currencies. Growth adjusted for acquired entities and currency effects shows underlying growth. Acquisitions are considered part of organic operations after 12 months.
Definition: Sales, earnings, or other results for the past 12 months.
Definition: Total number of ordinary shares and preference shares at the end of the period.

Interim Report Q2, Jan-Jun 2025 July 22 Interim Report Q3, Jan-Sep 2025 Nov 5
The Annual General Meeting will be held at 10:00 AM CEST on May 22, 2025, at Sinch headquarters, Lindhagensgatan 112, Stockholm.
Sinch is, like all businesses, exposed to various types of risks in its operations. Growth in combination with rapid and continuous changes in the business environment has made it necessary to increase focus on risks and risk management. Sinch has created an Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) process to identify and control risks, and to ensure that required controls and procedures are established to safeguard the assets and interests of the company. Sinch has defined five types of risks under this framework: Strategic, Operational, Legal & Compliance, Financial, and External. More information about risks and risk management is provided in the 2024 Annual Report.
As a general rule, Sinch does not publish forecasts but recognizes that the effects of geopolitical uncertainty and a volatile
macroeconomic environment are expected to persist in 2025. The Group's exposure to Ukraine and Russia is limited to less than 1 percent of annualized gross profit or loss. The new tariffs announced in early 2025 have applied to goods and have not affected Sinch's services. In spite of significant macroeconomic change during the past couple of years, Sinch has remained an industry leader with good underlying profitability and robust cash flows.
This report contains statements concerning, among other matters, Sinch's financial position and earnings, as well as statements regarding market conditions that may be forward-looking. Sinch believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions. Forwardlooking statements, however, include risks and uncertainties and actual outcomes or consequences may differ materially from those expressed. Other than as required by applicable law, forward-looking statements apply only on the day they are presented and Sinch does not undertake to update any of them in light of new information or future events.
The board of directors and the CEO certify that the interim report gives a true and fair view of the company's and the Group's operations, position, and results, and describes significant risks and uncertainties faced by the company and the companies included in the Group.
