Annual Report 2021

Key highlights

The year in brief
Airthings ASA reported a strong 2021 with revenues growing 60% to USD 33.7 million. Growth was solid across all three business segments. Demand has been even stronger than the revenue figures indicate, as production capacity has been held back by component shortage.
Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) came in at USD 2.9 million at the end of 2021, representing growth of 153% from 2020. The growth primarily reflects the strong progress in the Airthings for Business segment – a segment which made a step change from USD 1.4 million in revenues in 2020 to USD 6.9 million in 2021.
Gross profit margin was 61% for the full year, which was a decline from 2020 mainly due to changes in the product and channel mix in the Consumer segment and higher component prices. This was partly offset by a higher share of recurring revenue from the Software-as-a-Service offering in Airthings for Business. Recurring revenues in this area generate gross profits of over 80%.
Despite the global supply chain challenges, Airthings can look back at several significant highlights throughout 2021: the releases of View Plus and View CO2 for Business, two material Airthings for Business partnerships with Carrier Corporation and Quebec Government, the rolling-out in thousands of new stores across the US in Walmart, CVS and Home Depot, the launch of My Pollen Levels in the Airthings App, and the acknowledgement as an industry leader in the Frost & Sullivan Indoor Air Quality Systems Report. We see significant growth potential for 2022 after building up product stock and look forward to delivering into a strong market momentum going forward.

This is Airthings ASA
Airthings is a leading global technology company of award-winning radon and indoor air quality solutions for homeowners, businesses, and professionals. Founded in 2008, Airthings is on a mission to ensure that people and businesses around the world recognize the importance and impact of indoor air quality and take control of both health aspects and energy consumption through simple, affordable, and accurate technology solutions.

Airthings' products have made radon detection and indoor air quality monitoring easy to deploy, accurate, and user friendly. Our technology has received several accolades including the TIME's Best Inventions award and CES Innovation Award Honors. Frost & Sullivan positions Airthings as industry leader in global indoor air quality market in their 2021 Global Indoor Air Quality Systems report.
Headquartered in the heart of Oslo, Norway, and with offices in the US and Sweden, the company is growing from a current base of over 140 employees from more than 35 nationalities.
Our story
Every idea starts with a problem, and radon testing for homeowners had not improved in almost 30 years. Concerned consumers only had two options - to call a professional to test their radon levels, or to purchase a single-use charcoal test which was then sent to a lab for analysis. Several particle physicists working together at CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research) saw an opportunity to improve the
radon market, and help consumers and businesses take control of their indoor air quality. This was the foundation for the establishment of Airthings in 2008.
We have since branched out from a pure radon focus, into monitoring and controlling of a wide range of air quality issues for homes, businesses, and professionals. On top of this, our products also enable significant energy savings in buildings and contribute to reduced emissions and a lighter environmental footprint.
International expansion & recognition
Airthings have taken a global distribution approach, combining a strong presence in leading online stores with availability in nearly 800 Walmart stores, 3,000 CVS stores, and 1,300 Home Depot stores in the US, and a wide range of regional and national retail chains in several other countries.
Airthings is also building strong relations with leading B2B partners and last year strengthened the position in the business market with

the signing of a major strategic agreement with Carrier Corporation, a leader in the heating and air conditioning market. The company also won a large tender with the Quebec government in Canada to supply air quality monitoring in all private schools over the next 10 years.
Our technology
Since the start in 2008, Airthings has introduced a steady stream of innovative solutions for consumers, businesses, and professionals to tackle indoor air issues such as radon, particle pollution (particulate matter, PM 2.5), carbon dioxide (CO2), mold risk, airborne chemicals (VOCs) and virus risk. Airthings for Business Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) monitors can be used to satisfy air requirements for the WELL Building Standard, and the products are RESET accredited, demonstrating our high standards in the IAQ market.
The heart of our system is in the cloud where we turn data into advanced analytics. Airthings is gathering tremendous amounts of anonymized data from sensors in homes and buildings around the world, which are being used to add real insights for our customers.
From industrial design and radio protocol to app creation, software and firmware, our technology and solutions are developed in-house. Most of our products are smart products with corresponding apps, online dashboards, advanced cloud analytics, and APIs. Airthings now offers digital radon detectors as well as smart indoor air quality monitors and solutions for professionals, homes, schools, offices, and other commercial buildings, and is continuously adding new features. This is earning us our reputation of true leadership in the industry.

Letter from the CEO
Dear Airthings Community,
2021 was another magnificent year for Airthings and I want to take the opportunity to thank the team of highly skilled and passionate employees for the efforts they have put in over the past year. We have so much to be proud of including:
- We grew our revenues by 60%, with continuing solid growth for Consumer, a step change in revenue for Airthings for Business, and strong growth also for our Pro segment
- We expanded our Consumer sales channels significantly, entered new B2B partnerships in Airthings for Business, and signed a groundbreaking deal with the Quebec government for long-term air quality monitoring in schools
- We successfully launched View Plus series the most advanced air quality monitors on the market – and received great reviews
- We continued our work to help increase global awareness about air quality and to promote Airthings as the best solution to secure families, students and employees everywhere to breathe cleaner air.
The Consumer business continued to make strong progress, despite significant supply limitations, with revenue increasing by 36% to USD 23.6 million, and with major expansion of retail sales channels into thousands of Home Depot, Walmart, and CVS pharmacy stores in the US. The launch of the View Plus generated strong demand in these channels, although global supply chain issues and logistic challenges rendered us unable to produce enough of the View Plus to meet demand. We expect these challenges to ease going forward.
Airthings for Business made incredible advances in 2021, such as the signing of a strategic cooperation agreement with Carrier Corporation,
a leader in the heating and air conditioning market. With the rise of legislation and government concerns over health and air quality in public indoor spaces, Airthings for Business is fantastically positioned to help any business improve monitoring and control of both their air quality and energy consumption. Revenue increased more than fourfold to USD 6.9 million in 2021, with the large contract for schools in Quebec boosting revenue in the fourth quarter.
We are ready to drive Airthings for Business to new heights in 2022 and look forward to doing more in-person events for both partners and clients. The success of the Air Summit event in Oslo in September 2021 shows the importance of building relationships with key players in the industry to help businesses take control of the air in their buildings. Exciting new features like our Public Dashboard and Building Pressure will help drive growth going forward, and there is so much more to come.
Our Pro division is also taking huge steps forward, with an impressive revenue increase of 44% to USD 3.2 million in 2021. With growing demand, a new app, opening of the first radon calibration lab, and much more, the Airthings Pro division is a favourite of home inspectors and radon professionals across the globe.
We are on a responsible growth journey and are working to ensure that people around the world can take control over their air quality with simple, sustainable, and accessible technology solutions for every building and home. This will benefit both people and the planet. In 2022, we launched the unbranded airforkids.com site to educate children about the air we breathe and have set a goal to educate a million people by 2026.
We joined the UN Global Compact in 2020 and with the release of our first Sustainability Report in 2021 we are thrilled to announce that documented CO2 savings from less than 0.5% of our customers exceeds Airthings' total CO2 emissions reported for 2020. This is just the beginning, and as CEO of Airthings I can assure you of our commitment to continue to advance our positive ESG-impact in the years to come. After the end of the year, we received a Silver Rating from the sustainability ratings organization Ecovadis. This is an acknowledgement of our quality across environment, ethics, labor & human rights, and sustainable procurement, placing us among the top-25% of all rated companies.
Thank you to everyone in the Airthings team and our partners and customers who have helped us reach our goals this year. I look forward to our future together.
Oyvind Birkenes CEO, Airthings


Board of Directors Report
Airthings is a hardware-enabled software company developing, marketing and offering innovative products and systems for monitoring of indoor air quality, radon, and energy efficiency, with a stated goal to be a global leader in these areas. The company sells to the consumer market, the commercial business market, and to professionals within radon and air quality monitoring. Airthings also reports across these three business areas; Airthings for Consumer (Consumer), Airthings for Business (AfB), and Airthings for Professionals (Pro). Headquartered in in Oslo, Norway, Airthings ASA has two wholly owned subsidiaries, Airthings America Inc. in the US and Airthings AB in Sweden.
Airthings ASA - the parent company of the Airthings Group – was admitted to trading on Euronext Growth in Oslo in October 2020 and aims for an up-listing to the Oslo Stock Exchange during 2022.
Airthings is a global provider of indoor air quality solutions, with the key markets in the US and Europe representing 71% (75%) and 29% (25%) of revenue in 2021, respectively. The company's strategy is to work closely with e-commerce partners, premium retailers, key commercial B2B partners, and home inspectors and radon professionals to provide our premium solutions to customers across all three business segments through the most effective sales channels. Amazon currently represents the company's biggest sales channel, mainly directed towards consumers. Going forward, Airthings will continue its global expansion by growing its presence with both new and existing partners worldwide.
Historically, Airthings has mainly directed its efforts towards the consumer market. However, with the launch of Airthings for Business in
2019 the company opened new market opportunities and a new business model generating high-margin recurring revenue through a Software-as-a-Service model. Airthings for Business saw significant growth in 2021, with recurring revenue increasing as a share of total revenue.
Financial summary
The Airthings Group ("the Group") has converted the consolidated financial statements to the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as endorsed by the European Union (EU) and restated the financials for both 2021 and 2020 for comparison. As part of the implementation of IFRS the Group changed its presentation currency to USD. The functional currency of the parent company is NOK. Please see note 8.1 for details on first time adoption of IFRS.
All financial statements in this report are presented on a going concern basis in accordance with the Norwegian Accounting Act section 3-3a, and the Board of Directors confirms that the prerequisites for a going concern assumption are indeed present.
Airthings grew both revenue and gross profit during 2021, which was a very eventful year including the commercial breakthrough of Airthings for Business and continued strong demand in both the Consumer and Pro segments.
Income statement
Revenues in 2021 amounted to USD 33.7 million, up 60% compared with USD 21.0 million in 2020. This comprised USD 33.7 million in revenues and USD 0.03 million in other operating income. Gross profit grew by 55% in the period, reaching USD 20.7 million for 2021. The gross margin for the full year 2021 ended at 61%. This compares with 64% in 2020, with the decrease mainly
attributed to changes in the product and channel mix in the Consumer segment and higher component prices. EBIT decreased from a loss of USD 5.5 million in 2020 to a loss of USD 9.4 million in 2021. This reflects the ongoing global expansion, with investments into sales, marketing, and R&D as the significant contributors to higher personnel expenses. Depreciation increased from USD 0.7 million to USD 1.3 million in 2021, due to office expansion in addition to investments in production tools.
Net financial items mounted to positive USD 0.1 million in 2021, compared to a negative USD 0.7 million in 2020. The company has limited interest-bearing debt, and the net financial items consist primarily of exchange rate fluctuations between USD and NOK.
Net loss before taxes was USD 9.3 million in 2021, compared to a net loss before taxes of USD 6.2 million in 2020. Tax income was USD 2.1 million. This generated a net loss of USD 7.3 million which compares to net loss of USD 4.1 million in 2020.
Balance sheet
Airthings Group had total assets of USD 83.7 million at the end of 2021, down from USD 91.0 million at the end of 2020. Current assets amounted to USD 67.3 million, including cash and cash equivalents of USD 42.2 million. Non-current assets amounted to USD 16.3 million, which mainly comprises right of use assets, deferred tax assets, and goodwill relating to the Airtight acquisition in 2020.
Airthings Group had total liabilities of USD 15.8 million as per December 31, 2021, up from USD 14.3 million at the end of 2020. Total liabilities consist primarily of lease liabilities, trade payables, contract liabilities, and other provisions.
In 2021, Airthings Group increased its share capital by NOK 12 108.00 to NOK 1 718 164.37 allocated across 171 816 437 shares, each with a nominal value of NOK 0.01. The increase was driven by share issue in connection with the employee option program.
As of 31 December 2021, total equity amounted to USD 67.8 million, corresponding to an equity ratio of 81%. This compares to total equity of USD 76.6 million and an equity ratio of 84% in 2020.
Cash flow statement
Airthings Group's cash flow from operating activities was negative USD 15.9 million in 2021, down from negative USD 4.4 million in 2020. This was driven by a planned expansion which generated a loss before tax of USD 9.3 million and increasing working capital requirements. The latter was accentuated by the increased spending to secure inventory in a globally tight semiconductor market.
Total cash flow from investments was USD -1.0 million in 2021, compared to USD -1.9 million in 2020. The main drivers in 2020 were cash payments related to the Airtight acquisition.
Cash flow from financing was USD -2.6 million in 2021, including repayment of interest-bearing debt of USD 1.9 million in January 2021.
Cash and cash equivalents hence declined to USD 42.2 million at year-end 2021, down from USD 62.9 million at the end of 2020. The net cash spending reflects the company's strategy to invest in growth, in particular increasing marketing and sales costs.
Allocation of net profit
The consolidated accounting loss for 2021 was USD 7.3 million, with the proposed allocation of the net profit for the year shown in the Annual Financial Statement.
PARENT COMPANY ACCOUNTS

This included an increase in goodwill and R&D due to the merger with Airtight. Net cash flow from financing activities was negative NOK 14.5 million (563.7) due to repayment of interest-bearing liabilities in 2021. Cash and cash equivalents in the parent company hence declined to NOK 360.0 million per December 31, 2021 (525.4), reflecting the investments to facilitate the rapid upscaling of the company.
RISKS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
The Group is exposed to a range of risks affecting its financial performance, including market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group seeks to minimize potential adverse effects of such risks through sound business practice, risk management, and hedging.
Risk management is a continuous process and an integrated part of the Group's business. When operating across multiple markets, Airthings is exposed to a range of risks that may affect its business. The key risk areas are discussed below.
Liquidity
Liquidity represents the risk where the Group may potentially encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities
that are settled by provision of cash or another financial asset. The Group supervises its risk by monitoring its working capital, and overdue trade receivables. The Group has a strong cash position of USD 42 million, which the Board of Directors consider sufficient to fund the Group's growth strategy towards in long-term revenue targets. The liquidity risk is hence considered to be limited.
Credit
Credit risk represents the possibility of a counterparty not meeting its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. The Group is mainly exposed to credit risk from its operating activities.
The credit risk is low in the Consumer segment, where most sales are based on upfront or simultaneous payment, and the Group may also seek advance payments to offset risk on trade receivables in the other segments. Additionally, the Group manages its credit risks
by trading with creditworthy third parties. The Group has close connection with its customers and receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis. It is the Group's policy that all customers wishing to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures, which include an assessment of credit rating, short-term liquidity, and financial position.
The Group's exposure to losses have historically been low. However, the increased operations of the Group outside the US and home markets exposes Airthings to different credit risk environments. The Board of Directors deems credit risk to be at an acceptable level given the current operational circumstances and outlook of the Group.
Foreign currency
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Group is exposed to currency fluctuations due to the international nature of its operations. The Group's exposure to the risk of fluctuations
in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Group's operating activities (revenue and expenses denominated in a foreign currency) and the Group's net investments in foreign subsidiaries. A significant part of revenues is denominated in USD, with a small portion incurred in NOK, EUR and CAD. Most of its operating expenses are incurred in NOK. Further, the Group could also potentially be negatively affected by fluctuations in other currencies in the future. The Group does not currently hedge currency exposure with the use of financial instruments but monitors the net exposure over time.
Interest rate
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Group's borrowings have historically been exposed to interest rate fluctuations. As all borrowings were repaid in January 2021, the Group does no longer have any significant interest rate risk related to interest-bearing liabilities.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Airthings considers sound corporate governance to be a prerequisite for value creation, trustworthiness, and access to capital. To secure strong and sustainable corporate governance, it is important that Airthings ensures appropriate and healthy business practices, reliable financial reporting, and an environment of compliance with legislation and regulations across Airthings Group.
Airthings ASA is incorporated in Norway in accordance with the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act of 13 June 1997 no. 45 (the "NPLCA") and is subject to Norwegian law.

The Company endorses the Norwegian Code of Practice for Corporate Governance issued by the Norwegian Corporate Governance Board on 14 October 2021, as amended from time to time (the "NUES Code").
The applicable governance principles in Airthings are articulated in a set of corporate governance principles which are approved by the board of directors. These apply to all of Airthings' subsidiaries as well as Airthings ASA.
Shareholders exercise the ultimate authority in Airthings through the Annual General Meeting, where all shareholders are entitled to attend. The board of directors encourages all investors to participate at the AGM.

These financial statements are reviewed by the Group Finance team before being consolidated into a set of consolidated financial statements for the Group. Based on these consolidated financial statements, management in Airthings reports on the financial performance of the Group to the board of directors monthly.

AIRTHINGS' SUSTAINABILITY JOURNEY: FOR PLANET, FOR PEOPLE, FOR BUSINESS
Airthings is a purpose-driven company that cares about making a difference for people, planet,
and business. Our mission is to empower the world to breathe better. As leaders in indoor air quality monitoring, focused on the health and wellbeing of homes and businesses alike, sustainability is close to our heart and part of our core values.
2021 was a milestone year at Airthings, as we continued our sustainability journey, building a holistic sustainability strategy throughout our value chain. The 17 United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) became the pillars of our framework, with a specific focus on 6 SDGs.
Airthings' mission to empower the world to breathe better contributes directly to SDG#3 health and wellbeing. Airthings for Business supports both SDG#11 sustainable cities and communities and SDG #13 climate action, by making buildings smarter through data-driven solutions. To address SDG #12, responsible for consumption and production, we work to understand the impact of the whole life cycle of our products. Our dedication to the company culture and human rights, diversity, and inclusion are a part of our contribution to SDG #8, decent work, and economic growth. Finally, we contribute to SDG#4 quality education. We help to improve indoor air quality in schools and empower teachers to educate children about the air. We continue to be a part of the UN Global Compact and support its 10 principles.

In 2021, we focused on developing regular monitoring to a deeper granular level of our different environmental, social, and governance indicators throughout our value chain. One of the most exciting highlights of 2021 was earning a silver Ecovadis sustainability rating. Entitled "The World's Most Trusted Business Sustainability Ratings,"1 Ecovadis' is an independent and unbiased evaluation that covers four different categories: the environment, ethics, labor, human rights, and sustainable procurement. Using their evidence-based assessment, the organization ranks companies in categories from zero to platinum. We are thrilled to have been awarded a silver ranking, putting us in the top 25% of companies evaluated. As this is our first year being considered, we are encouraged by the high score and are dedicated to working towards continually improving our score.

As a medium-sized company, with <500 employees, we are not subject to report on the new EU Taxonomy, but we are considering adapting our business activity reporting to be inline. We can already contribute directly to the scope of mitigation of climate change through the data-driven solutions, while not causing significant harm to the other 5 categories. Furthermore, our products can help our customers as the activity could be considered Taxonomy aligned.
Let us walk you through how Airthings products contribute positively to the 3 dimensions of sustainability for the planet, for people, for business and how we are working internally to improve in these dimensions.
We have big sustainability goals and a solid ESG strategy for how we will achieve them:


How Airthings products can promote energy efficiency and avoid CO2 emissions in buildings
The environmental impact from buildings can be broken down into the construction of the building versus the energy needed for everyday operations. 36% of the total greenhouse gases emissions come from energy production for buildings.
Therefore it is very important to reduce wasted energy and improve the efficiency of buildings. From a small sample of case studies from 20 customers, we have seen the potential our products have to help our users make datadriven decisions to save energy. We are thrilled to see that our customers avoided more than 2000 tons of CO2 emissions in 2021. These savings are higher than Airthings' operational CO2 emissions in 2020. We empower our customers to reduce their energy consumption by giving them tools to make effective decisions while managing their buildings.
Facility managers are able to remotely monitor air quality and climate, and they can minimize the energy consumed and maximize comfort. The best way to improve efficiency in the building is to ensure energy is not wasted on heating, cooling, ventilation, and lighting in rooms that aren't being used. Similarly, tracking patterns of occupancy and utilization of the building and using this to optimize the HVAC systems can minimize wasted energy and maximize employee performance.
With our easy-to-use APIs this is possible. Globally, much of the current building stock is older and has numerous systems. Airthings' system enables even older HVAC systems to be more datadriven with our new insights for facility managers. Our next step is to further automate systems to optimize air quality with minimal manual effort.
How Airthings understands the lifetime impact of our product
Throughout 2021, we completed two major analyses to get an overview of our internal carbon footprint. First, following ISO 14040 - 14044, we performed a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) for five
of our products (View Plus, Wave Series, Home, Hub, and Wave Mini). We delineated our goal and scope, followed a data collection and inventory analysis, and finished with an impact assessment and interpretation. Likewise, we focus on highquality products and aim for >10 years lifetime for the hardware and the experience.
Secondly, using financial statements, we calculated the total carbon footprint of Airthings across scope 1, 2, & 3 following the Greenhouse Gas Protocol. We calculated scope 2 emissions using a market-based methodology, using the European mix as a carbon factor. The total emission of scope 2 in 2021 in Oslo headquarters was 20 tons of CO2 eq. At the same time, over 98% of our emissions were indirect throughout our value chain (scope 3). We used a combination of calculation methods and a cloud-based program focusing on all spending and their average emissions factors to calculate scope 3 emissions. This carbon accounting was compared with the LCA of our product to generate a closer overview of our emissions. More specific data from our LCA and carbon accounting will be included in our sustainability report by May 2022.

How Airthings products help occupants breathe healthier air
Air pollution is the presence of substances above the natural level in the air. Polluted air can be harmful to the environment and to humans. Globally, 9 out of 10 people breathe air that exceeds WHO recommended limits for pollutants. Likewise, we spend 90% of our time indoors, where most of the contaminants are circulating because of poor ventilation. Therefore, understanding indoor air quality is vital to taking control of our health. Airthings does advanced cloud analytics using existing and historical data from our devices to empower people (both individuals
and businesses) to control air quality, climate, and energy usage. There are many types of invisible pollutants in the air we breathe that affect human health: CO2, radon, particulate matter (PM), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), mold, humidity, etc. By helping our customers visualize what is in their air, we can help them mitigate air pollutants, reducing their risk of exposure and potentially disease. We have witnessed through customers' interviews and comments that they are taking actions like providing more ventilation, installing radon mitigation systems, air purifiers, and humidifiers or dehumidifiers because of the insights provided by Airthings.
How Airthings is pursuing a social responsibility from the inside
Our goal is to foster a diverse and inclusive work culture. The first step Airthings took towards improving our social responsibility within our daily operations and our supply chain was to develop governance policies. We drafted a policy on human rights, diversity, and inclusion following the principles laid out in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
We also determined our baseline metrics of diversity. In 2021, the average number of FTEs was 96. Our employees have reported high satisfaction with the working environment, with an Employee net promoter score (ENPS) of 46, and we continuously strive to achieve incremental improvements. Absence due to sickness amounted to 0.38% in 2021. No personal injuries or damages were registered in 2021.
Our employees currently represent more than 35 nationalities and 28% identify themselves as female. We are aiming for a gender balance of 40-60% women. Likewise, we are setting new targets per team in 2022. Generally, the tech industry is characterized by a low share of female employees. To counter this, Airthings is working systematically to improve the share of female employees at all levels. One of the company's objectives is to offer equal salary and career opportunities regardless of gender. Our Board of Directors is balanced in terms of gender, with
4 men and 4 women, and includes employee representatives. More information and equality statement can be found at www.airthings.com.

Our culture at Airthings is one of the aspects we are most proud of as a company. A positive and healthy culture is key to creating an organization that upholds our company values of Dare, Love, and Focus. In 2021, we continued investing in our people, bringing more people on board to help expand our business and reach our goals. We are continually improving our hiring processes by making them more transparent to ensure we find and attract a diverse group of top talent which we onboard through training programs to cultivate an inclusive community. Even as we grow, we aim to maintain an egalitarian atmosphere where everyone feels valued, heard, and empowered.

As part of our goal to educate 1 million children about air quality, we launched Air for Kids last year. With this fun and educational project, we aim to teach about what's in the air we breathe for curious kids, parents, and teachers everywhere. We have created multiple educational blogs with accompanying quizzes for the kids to see how much they have learned. The quizzes were completed by 245 unique visitors in 2021.
We also launched our first air quality poster contest. Through direct outreach, we educated 30 kids on air quality, and we reached 2,900 visitors with our website so far.


How Airthings products can help improve our customers' business
We have continued to empower the world to breathe better in 2021. More than 10,000 schools, 3,000 buildings, and 41,000 business sensors are driving our goal to enable 4,000,000 people to breathe healthier air and energy efficiency by optimizing both of these elements.
Frydenbø Group is an industry leader in commercial real estate in Norway, owning over 110,000 sqm of commercial space. They have been innovators in the property management space and installed their first Airthings sensors in 2019. By integrating the data-driven Airthings for Business solution into their system, they took the correct actions to decrease their energy consumption by 16%.
When at work and in the classroom, we exhale CO2, which can accumulate in poorly ventilated classrooms, lecture halls, and offices. Excess levels of the gas are linked to higher risk of spreading viruses and bacteria's, and to restlessness, drowsiness, increased heart rate, higher blood pressure, excess sweating, and headaches. Research has found a 12% decrease in sick days and 100% improvement in cognitive scores when the indoor air quality in buildings was improved.
How Airthings is strengthening its governance
We have strengthened our governance by establishing six new policies and guidelines to our way of working: circular principles; human rights, diversity, and inclusion policy; suppliers' code of conduct; whistleblower guidelines and reporting portal; sustainable procurement guidelines; and travel guidelines. We have also updated the employee handbook according to these recent additions. We had no reported cases of human rights violations or child labor from our key suppliers.
When will the sustainability report 2021 be published?
There is so much great work being done within Airthings on how we can become a more environmentally responsible, circular, and people-focused company. 2021 measured our baseline for sustainability at Airthings and now we can continue to build upon this foundation as we grow as a company. Details about our work can be found in our upcoming Annual Sustainability Report, which will be released in May 2022. We aim to pursue economic growth without causing harm to the environment and take good care of the people involved in our value chain.
OUTLOOK
Airthings' key focus for 2022 is to capitalize on the current land grabbing opportunity and continue its expansion in both existing and new geographical markets. Airthings ended 2021 with an undelivered backlog of around NOK 10 million, providing a strong start to 2022. Going forward, the company sees higher production volumes for View Plus, although uncertainties
remain with regards to the availability of components. Airthings is continuously monitoring the component market and proactively taking steps to mitigate the situation and secure production going forward. Certain components may however not be available in the quantities required to fully satisfy the strong market demand Airthings is experiencing.
Airthings has set a bold NOK1bn revenue target for 2024 - purely based on organic growth - but maintains an opportunistic view on potential acquisitions. The Board and management share a strong belief in continued positive market demand for Airthings' products and services and strong confidence in the ability to successfully turn this market opportunity into profitable growth in the years to come. Airthings' growth model has been backed by high investments in technology, people, brand awareness, and marketing, and the cost intensity is set to decline with increasing scale and a higher share of highmargin recurring revenue going forward. The company aims for break-even on the EBITDA-level during 2023, and expects gradually improving operational leverage to allow for long-term EBITDA-margins above 25%.
This report contains certain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties and that reflect current views about future events and are, by their nature, subject to significant risks and uncertainties. There are a number of factors that could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot assure you that our future results, level of activity, performance or achievements will meet these expectations. You should therefore not place undue reliance on forward looking statements.

Section 1 – General information and accounting policies
1.1 Corporate information
Airthings ASA ("the Company") is a publicly listed company on Euronext Growth, with the ticker symbol AIRX. Airthings ASA was admitted to trading on Euronext Growth on 30 October 2020. Airthings ASA is incorporated and domiciled in Norway. The Company's principal offices are located at Wergelandsveien 7, 0167 Oslo, Norway.

The consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2021 were authorized for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors on 30 March 2022.
1.2 Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements of the Group comprise consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of financial position, consolidated statement of cash flows, consolidated statement of changes in equity and related notes.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted by The European Union ("EU"), and represents the first financial statements of the Group in accordance with IFRS.

The consolidated financial statements provide comparative information in respect of the previous period. In addition, an additional statement of financial position as at 1 January 2020 is presented in these financial statements due to the first time adoption of IFRS.
Further, the consolidated financial statements are prepared based on the going concern assumption. The Group has so far seen limited business impact related to the Covid-19 pandemic as the consumer demand for its products has in some cases increased due to elevated air quality awareness. In other instances, Covid-19 has led to a pressed semiconductor market which has resulted in increased component prices and delivery delays as production capacity has been held back by component shortage. Also, the pandemic has led to slowed retail store roll-out and limited access to buildings for the business segment. The Board continues to monitor the situation carefully to ensure appropriate measures are taken as the situation continues to unfold during 2022.
Presentation currency and functional currency
The consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollar ("USD"). For each entity, the Group determines the functional currency and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency. Airthings ASA has Norwegian krone ("NOK") as its functional currency and it's subsidiaries have SEK or USD as their functional currencies. The Group presents it's consolidated financial statements in USD to provide the primary users of the financial statements with more convenient information.
For presentation purposes, balance sheet items are translated from functional currency to presentation currency by using exchange rates at the reporting date. Items within total comprehensive income are translated from functional currency to presentation currency by applying yearly average exchange rates. The resulting translation differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.
Climate risk
The impact of climate risks has been taken into account in the preparation of the Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December, 2021. However, the risks identified are not considered to have a significant impact on the Group considering the nature of the its operations. Potential impacts of climate change are continuously considered in assessing whether assets may be impaired. As of 31 December, climate risk is not expected to have any significant impact on the Group's assets or liabilities.
1.3 General accounting policies
Airthings has selected a presentation in which the description of accounting policies as well as estimates, assumptions and judgmental considerations are disclosed in the notes to which the policies relate. A summary of the Group's general accounting policies not disclosed in the notes, are presented below:
Current versus non-current classification
The Group presents assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position based on current/ non-current classification.
An asset is current when it is:
- Expected to be realized or intended to be sold or consumed in the normal operating cycle,
- Held primarily for the purpose of trading,
- Expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period, or
- Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is current when:
- It is expected to be settled in the normal operating cycle,
- It is held primarily for the purpose of trading,
- It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or
- There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. The Group classifies all other liabilities as non-current.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities.
Statement of cash flows
The consolidated statement of cash flows is prepared using the indirect method.
Changes in accounting policies
Standards issued but not yet effective
New or amended standards and interpretations which are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January, 2022 and which the Group believes are relevant and may impact the Group's financial statements and/or disclosures are discussed below. The Group has not early adopted any standards or amendments that have been issued, but are not yet effective.
Amendments to IFRS 16 - Covid-19-Related Rent Concessions beyond 30 June 2021
In May 2020, the IASB issued Covid-19-Related Rent Concessions - Amendment to IFRS 16 Leases. The Board amended the standard to provide an optional relief to lessees from applying IFRS 16's guidance on lease modification accounting for rent concessions arising as a direct consequence of the pandemic. The amendment was intended to apply until June 30, 2021, but as the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic is continuing, the IASB extended the period of application of the practical expedient to June 30, 2022.
The practical expedient applies only to rent concessions occurring as a direct consequence of the Covid-19 pandemic and only if all of
the following conditions described in IFRS 16 paragraph 46B are met:
- The change in lease payments results in revised consideration for the lease that is substantially the same as, or less than, the consideration for the lease immediately preceding the change.
- Any reduction in lease payments affects only payments originally due on or before June 30, 2021.
- There is no substantive change to other terms and conditions of the lease.
The amendment applies to annual reporting periods beginning on or after April 1, 2021. The Group has not received Covid-19-related rent concessions, but plans to apply the practical expedient if it becomes applicable within allowed period of application. The amendments are not expected to have a significant impact on the Group's financial statements.
Amendments to IAS 8 - Definition of Accounting Estimates
In February 2021, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 8, in which it introduces a definition of "accounting estimates". The amendments clarify the distinction between changes in accounting estimates and changes in accounting policies and the correction of errors. Also, they clarify how entities use measurement techniques and inputs to develop accounting estimates.
The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023, but are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Group.
1.4 Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS and applying the chosen accounting policies requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.
The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and the underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.
The accounting policies applied by management which includes a significant degree of estimates and assumptions or judgments that may have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements, are summarized below:
Estimates and assumptions:
- Measurement of deferred tax assets (note 2.8)
- Value in use calculations in relation to impairment testing of goodwill (note 5.2)
- Estimating fair value for share-based payments transactions (note 6.8)
A detailed description of the significant estimates and assumptions are included in the individual note referenced above.
The Group based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the consolidated financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising that are beyond the control of the Group. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.
Accounting judgements:
• Determination of CGUs (note 5.2)
A detailed description of the significant accounting judgements are included in the individual notes referenced above.
Section 2 - Operating segments and profit or loss items
2.1 Operating segments
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
An operating segment is a component of an entity:
- a) that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses,
- b) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entity's chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and
- c) for which discrete financial information is available.
For management purposes, the Group is organized into business areas based on its different markets and has three reportable segments, as follows:
- Consumer private customers
- Business business customers such as schools, office buildings and other commercial buildings
- Professional professional customers such as home inspectors and certified radon professionals
No operating segments have been aggregated to form the above reportable operating segments.
The Board of Directors is the Group's chief operating decision maker and monitors the operating results of its business units separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated based on EBITDA measured consistently with operating profit or loss before depreciation and amortization as reported under NGAAP (the Group's
previous reporting language). The Group's financing (including finance costs and finance income), depreciation and amortization and income taxes are managed on a Group basis and are not allocated to operating segments as underlying assets are managed on a Group basis.
Group functions and adjustments/ eliminations
The remaining of the Group's activities and business are shown in the "Group functions" column in the tables below. These activities mainly relate to R&D, marketing and administrative functions of the Group.
The "Adjustments/eliminations" column in the tables below consists of IFRS adjustments that are not included as part of the segment reporting to the Board. The adjustment of USD 2,502 thousands (2020: USD 1,925 thousands) is related to consideration payable to a customer which was previously recognized as OPEX under NGAAP. Under IFRS, this is accounted for as a reduction of revenue. The adjustment of USD 3,793 thousands (2020: USD 2,377 thousands) reflect the reversal of lease expenses for the Group's operating leases under NGAAP (2021: USD 853 thousands, 2020: USD 451 thousands), in addition to the reclass from OPEX to a reduction of revenue (2021: USD 2,940 thousands, 2020: USD 1,926 thousands). The IFRS adjustments are mainly related to the Consumer segment.

2.2 Revenue
Airthings Group is a manufacturer of air quality sensors and hardware-enabled software products for air quality, radon measurement and energy efficiency solutions. The Group's revenue from contracts with customers are reported in three main segments as described in note 2.1: Consumer, Business and Professional.
- The consumer segment sells air quality sensors to private customers through retailers and e-commerce.
- The business segment sells air quality solutions to schools, office buildings, and other commercial buildings.
- The professional segment sells measurement solutions which enables inspectors and certified radon professionals to accurately measure, analyze and report on buildings. The professional segment also offers rental of products and calibration services.
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when control of the goods or services are transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Group has concluded that it is the principal in all its revenue arrangements, and hence recognizes revenue gross.
Sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of air quality sensors are recognized at the point in time when a performance obligation arising from a contractual obligation with a customer has been met. The Group's performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time, upon delivery or when the goods are packed and shipped, depending on the delivery terms. The payment terms are generally 30 days after the performance obligation is satisfied.
The Group considers whether there are other promises in the contract that are separate performance obligations to which a portion of the transaction price needs to be allocated (e.g., services or SaaS). Where a contract included several performance obligations, revenue is splitted among the different performance obligations based on relative stand alone selling prices.
In determining the transaction price for the sale of a product, the Group considers the effects of variable consideration, the existence of significant financing components, non-cash consideration, and any consideration payable to the customer. Revenue is recognized net of any discounts.
(i) Variable consideration
If the consideration in a contract includes a variable amount, the Group estimates the amount of consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for transferring the goods to the customer. The variable consideration is estimated at contract inception and constrained until it is highly probable that a significant revenue reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the associated uncertainty with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Some contracts for the sale of air quality sensors and radon detectors provide customers with a right to return the goods within a specified period. The Group also provides retrospective volume rebates to certain customers once the quantity products purchased during the period exceeds the threshold specified in the contract. The rights of return and volume rebates give rise to variable consideration.
Right of return
The Group uses the expected value method to estimate the variable consideration given the large number of contracts that have similar characteristics. The Group then applies the requirements on constraining estimates of variable consideration in order to determine the amount of variable consideration that can be included in the transaction price and recognized as revenue.
Consideration payable to a customer
Consideration payable to a customer is accounted for as a reduction of the transaction price, unless the payment to the costumer is in exchange for a distinct good or service and the fair value of the distinct good or value can be reasonably estimated. Consideration payable to a customer is estimated when the sale occurs and recognized as a provision (refer to note 3.5). The transaction price is reduced accordingly.
Sale of software as a service (SaaS)
The Group also has revenue from license fees, which are SaaS contracts consisting of a software licensing model where software is licensed on a subscription basis and centralized on Airthings platform. Revenue from SaaS arrangements, where the customer cannot take possession of the software license and where the software license cannot be separated from its related hosting services are considered as "right to access" licenses and revenue is recognized over time (i.e. the subscription period).
Sale of services
Revenue from the rendering of services mainly relates to calibration services delivered in connection with a solution to the business or professional market. These calibration services are sold separately or bundled but do not
significantly customize or modify the other products in the contract. Contracts for bundled sales of equipment and calibration services are comprised of two performance obligations because the equipment and installation services are both sold on a stand-alone basis and are distinct within the context of the contract. Accordingly, the Group allocates the transaction price based on the relative stand-alone selling prices of the equipment and installation services. Revenue from these services is recognized over time using an input method to measure progress towards completion of the services, because the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Group.
Rental income
Rental income is derived from the rental of equipment such as Corentium Pro in the professional segment. Rental income arising is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included in revenues in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized over the lease term on the same basis as rental income.
Set out below is the disaggregation of the Group's total revenues:
| Revenues (USD 1,000) | 2021 | 2020 |
|---|---|---|
| Revenue from contracts with customers | 33,172 | 20,572 |
| Rental income | 499 | 322 |
| Total revenues | 33,671 | 20,893 |
Set out below is the disaggregation of the Group's revenue from contracts with customers:
| Geographical information (USD 1,000) | 2021 | 2020 |
|---|---|---|
| EMEA | 9,537 | 5,166 |
| North America (USA and Canada) | 23,635 | 15,406 |
| Total revenue from contracts with customers | 33,172 | 20,572 |
The information above is based on the location of the customers.
| Timing of revenue recognition (USD 1,000) | 2021 | 2020 |
|---|---|---|
| Goods transferred at a point in time | 31,791 | 20,222 |
| Subscription and services transferred over time | 1,382 | 349 |
| Total revenue from contracts with customers | 33,172 | 20,572 |
The transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations (unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied) as at 31 December are, as follows:
| (USD 1,000) | 2021 | 2020 |
|---|---|---|
| Within one year | 110 | 65 |
| More than one year | 175 | 71 |
| Total | 285 | 136 |
The table above does not include remaining performance obligations that are part of contracts with an original duration of one year or less. The remaining performance obligations expected to be recognized in more than one year relate to the delivery of software services (Saas).
Performance obligations
Product sale:
The Group's performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time, upon delivery of the hardware products. Payment is generally due within 30 days after delivery. Revenue recognized at the point of delivery is only recognized for an amount of the consideration that reflects the consideration the Group expects to ultimately be entitled to. The variable consideration is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period and recognized as (or when) the uncertainty is subsequently resolved.
SaaS license fee:
The Group's performance obligation is satisfied over time (as "right to access" licenses). The customer receives the right to access Airthings intellectual property throughout the license period for which revenue is recognized over the license period. The software is run on Airthings' platform and the customer may only access the software through a network (cloud). The customer cannot take possession of the software/ code and is not able to run the software on its own server.
Other services:
Other services mainly consist of calibration services provided by the Group in connection with sales in the professional segment. Revenue is recognized over time because the customer
simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Group. The Group recognizes revenue normally on the basis of hours incurred.
Contract balances:
As the Group's revenues are generally recognized and invoiced upon delivery (goods) or in advance (SaaS subscriptions), the Group does not have a significant amount of contract assets.
Contract liabilities relate to remuneration received in advance for SaaS subscriptions. Subscriptions are normally prepaid by the customer for 12 months. As such, the balance of account at the end of the year mainly represents the Group's deferred revenue related to performance obligations that will be satisfied within 12 months. The Group's contract liabilities are disclosed in note 3.3.
2.3 Other operating income ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Government grants
Government grants are recognized where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received, and all attached conditions will be complied with. Grants related to an expense item is recognized as income on a systematic basis over the periods that the related costs, for which it is intended to compensate, is expensed. Alternatively, such grants are deducted in reporting
the related expense. Grants related to assets is recognized by deducting the grant in calculating the carrying amount of the asset. The Group applies a consistent presentation approach to all similar grants.
When the Group receives grants of non-monetary assets, the asset and the grant are recorded at nominal amounts and released to profit or loss over the expected useful life of the asset, based on the pattern of consumption of the benefits of the underlying asset by equal annual installments.
Other income
Other operating income is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured, regardless of when the payment is received. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, taking into account contractually defined terms of payment and excluding taxes or duty.

2.8 Income tax
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Current income tax
Current income tax is measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date in the countries where the Group operates and generates taxable income.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax liabilities/ deferred tax assets are recognized in line with IAS 12. Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences.
Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry forward of unused tax losses can be utilized.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
In assessing the recoverability of deferred tax assets, the Group relies on the same forecast assumptions used elsewhere in the financial statements and in other management reports.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively
enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority. As most of the deferred tax assets and liabilities relates to Airthings ASA (parent company), these are to a large extent offset in the consolidated financial statements.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
Deferred tax assets are recognized for unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilized. Significant management judgment is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognized, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits, together with future tax planning strategies.
The Group has USD 20 266 thousand as at 31 December 2021 (USD 11 749 thousand as at 31 December 2020 and USD 2 032 thousand as at 1 January 2020) of tax losses carried forward in the parent company, which have been fully recognized as deferred tax assets in the consolidated financial statements, as the Group consider it to be probable that these taxable losses may be utilized in the near future.
When assessing the probability of utilizing these losses, the Group considers factors such as:
Positive evidence
- Unused tax losses relate to the parent company Airthings ASA, where most of the Groups operations are located, and there are no maturity related to usage of such losses according to the Norwegian applicable tax regulation.
- The recent losses which form the basis of the deferred tax asset have been according to budget and is a result of the Group's significant growth strategy. The losses are mainly
caused by significant R&D, marketing, and sales investments. Going forward, investment activity in % of revenues is expected to decrease. Further, before the Group initiated its significant growth strategy, it has a history of being profitable. Within the near future, the Group expects that taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Negative evidence
- Airthings ASA has not sufficient other tax increasing temporary differences which the unused tax losses can be utilized against
- The Group has limited tax planning opportunities available at the moment (e.g. group contribution) as Airthings ASA is the only Norwegian entity in the Group.
Overall, the Group has as of 31 December 2021 determined that the positive evidence outweighs existing negative evidence to support recognition of deferred tax assets and thus the 50% probability threshold ("more likely than not") is considered as passed. However, there are uncertainties connected with the Group's forecasts of taxable profit. If the Group had concluded that the 50 % probability threshold was not met, and decided not to recognized deferred tax assets (limited to partly recognition or no recognition at all), this would have caused a decrease in deferred tax assets, decrease in negative tax expense and in the end a decrease in equity. No recognition at all of deferred tax assets related to taxable losses would in isolation result in an equity reduction of USD 4 459 thousand as at 31 December 2021.

The Group's operations are subject to income tax in various foreign jurisdictions. The statutory income tax rates vary from 20.6% to 22%, which results in a difference between the statutory income tax rate in Norway and the average tax rate applicable to the Group. The effect from the statutory income tax rates from other countries (Sweden and USA) on the Group tax rate is very limited as the main operations are in Norway.
The average tax rate for the Group's deferred tax assets are 22% for 31.12.2021, 22% for 31.12.2020 and 22% for 01.01.2020. The average tax rate for the Group's deferred tax liabilities was 22% for 31.12.2020.
A reconciliation of the differences between the theoretical tax expense under the rate applicable in Norway and the actual tax expense is as follows:
| Reconciliation of income tax expense (USD 1,000) | 2021 | 2020 |
|---|---|---|
| Profit or loss before tax | -9,315 | -6,175 |
| Tax expense 22% (Norwegian tax rate) | -2,049 | -1,358 |

| Effects of foreign tax rates | -1 | |
| Effect of not recognizing deferred tax assets | -13 | -158 |

* The permanent differences are related to SkatteFUNN and other non-deductible costs among the Group's entities.
Section 3 - Other operating activities
3.1 Inventories
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition are accounted for, as follows:
- Components: purchase cost on a first-in/ first-out basis (FIFO)
- Finished goods: cost of direct materials, direct wages, packaging and a proportion of manufacturing overheads based on the normal operating capacity
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
| Inventories (USD 1,000) | 31.12.2021 | 31.12.2020 | 01.01.2020 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Finished goods | 8,006 | 4,694 | 3,306 |
| Components | 3,423 | ||
| Total inventories at the lower of cost and net realizable value |
11,429 | 4,694 | 3,306 |
The increase in inventories in 2021 is a result of increased components prices coupled with a strategy of securing supply in a pressed semiconductor market.
There were no write-downs of finished goods or components in 2021 (2020: USD 26 thousands). There were no reversal of write-down of components or finished goods in the periods presented.
3.2 Trade and other receivables
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Trade and other receivables
The Group's trade receivables consist solely of amounts receivable from revenue contracts with customers. Trade receivables are generally on terms of 30 days. Other receivables consist mainly of prepaid expenses and government grant receivables related to SkatteFUNN.
Trade and other receivables are financial assets initially recognized at fair value and subsequently at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Trade and other receivables are subject to impairment by recognizing an allowance for expected credit losses.
Expected credit losses
The Group recognizes an allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) for its financial assets. ECLs are based on the cash flows that the Group expects to receive. For trade receivables, the Group applies a simplified approach in calculating ECLs. Therefore, the Group does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognizes a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. The Group bases the allowance of its historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment. Conditions and policies for considering financial assets as in default and when they are written off are further described in note 6.1.
| Trade receivables (USD 1,000) | 31.12.2021 | 31.12.2020 | 01.01.2020 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trade receivables from customers at nominal value | 11,950 | 7,000 | 4,640 |
| Allowance for expected credit losses | 100 | ||
| Total trade receivables | 11,850 | 7,000 | 4,640 |
| Other receivables (USD 1,000) | 31.12.2021 | 31.12.2020 | 01.01.2020 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Prepaid expenses | 814 | 433 | 434 |
| Government grants | 539 | 1 038 | 968 |
| VAT receivable | 305 | 309 | 80 |
| Related parties | 41 | 3 | 21 |
| Other | 191 | 257 | 115 |
| Total other receivables | 1,889 | 2,041 | 1,618 |
The credit risk of financial assets has not increased significantly from initial recognition. The increase in loss allowance is mainly related to the increase in the gross amount of trade receivables.
As at 31 December the ageing analysis of trade receivables is, as follows:
| Trade receivables | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ageing analysis of trade receivables (USD 1,000) |
Not due | < 30 days | 31-60 days | >60 days | Total |
| Trade receivables at 31.12.2021 | 5,937 | 2,666 | 1,177 | 2,070 | 11,850 |
| Trade receivables at 31.12.2020 | 5,475 | 390 | 472 | 664 | 7,000 |
| Trade receivables at 01.01.2020 | 3,887 | 336 | 248 | 169 | 4,640 |
For details regarding the Group's procedures on managing credit risk, see note 6.4.
3.3 Contract liabilities
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A contract liability is recognized if a payment is received or a payment is due (whichever is earlier) from a customer before the Group transfers the related goods or services. Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue when the Group performs under the contract (i.e., transfers control of the related goods or services to the customer).
Contract liabilities relate to remuneration received in advance for revenue from contracts with customers as well as the allocated transaction price for the remaining performance obligation. Revenue is recognized when the Group fulfills the performance obligation in the contract. Contract liabilities are shown in the table on the next page:
| Contract liabilities (USD 1,000) | 31.12.2021 | 31.12.2020 |
|---|---|---|
| Amount included at the beginning of the period | 422 | 73 |
| Addition of new contract liabilities | 1,487 | 639 |
| Performance obligations recognized in the period | -1,014 | -290 |
| Total contract liabilities | 894 | 422 |
| Current contract liabilities | 719 | 351 |
| Non-current contract liabilities | 175 | 71 |
The significant increase in the period's contract liabilities is mainly attributed to the allocated transaction price for the remaining performance obligation related to SaaS contracts, prepaid 12 months in advance.
3.4 Trade and other payables
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Trade and other payables are liabilities, i.e. present contractual obligations arising from a result of past events where settlement is expected to result in an outflow of resources (payment). Trade payables consist of invoices for goods and services where the Group has received the significant risks and rewards of ownership as at the end of the reporting period. Other payables mainly consist of withholding payroll tax and social security tax.
Trade and other payables are measured at fair value upon initial recognition and subsequently at amortized cost. Trade and other payables are expected to be settled within the normal operating cycle within twelve months after the reporting period.
| Trade and other payables (USD 1,000) | 31.12.2021 | 31.12.2020 | 01.01.2020 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trade payables | 4,775 | 2,788 | 1,384 |
| Government grant liabilities (note 2.3) | 69 | ||
| VAT payable | 34 | 34 | |
| Withholding payroll taxes and social security | 976 | 961 | 418 |
| Other payables | 1,275 | 287 | 465 |
| Total trade and other payables | 7,027 | 4,139 | 2,301 |
3.5 Provisions
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Provisions are liabilities with uncertain timing or amount and are recognized when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the
expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, that is, the amount that an entity would rationally pay to settle the obligation at the end of the financial year or to transfer it to a third party.
The group classifies provisions in the following categories:
• Salary related costs: Contains a provision for accrued holiday pay, accrued bonuses, restructuring (when the Group has approved a formal and detailed restructuring plan, and the restructuring either has commenced or been announced publicly) and other salary related accruals.
• Social security for share based payments: contains a provision for the accrued social security on share options and restrictive share units which will be paid when the options are exercised. Provisions are calculated based on an intrinsic value method. As part of the share-based payment program, employees are required to compensate the Group for
social security taxes payable upon exercise. Hence, a corresponding receivable has been recognized as other non-current assets in the balance sheet.
• Other provisions: contains provision for accrued consideration to a customer.
A provision is made and calculated based on management assumptions at the time the provision is made and is updated as and when new information becomes available. All provisions are reviewed at the end of the financial year.

Section 4 - Group structure
4.1 Overview of Group companies
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Airthings ASA and its subsidiaries as at 31 December 2021. The subsidiaries are consolidated when control is achieved as defined by IFRS 10. Specifically, the Group controls an investee if, and only if, the Group has:
- Power over the investee (i.e., existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee)
- Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee
- The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns
Generally, there is a presumption that a majority of voting rights results in control. However, the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee.
The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate
that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date the Group gains control until the date the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.
Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income ("OCI") are attributed to the equity holders of the parent of the Group. All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.
The Group do not have ownership in joint arrangements as defined by IFRS 11, other associates, interests in unconsolidated structured entities or interests in unconsolidated subsidiaries that require disclosure under IFRS 12.
The consolidated entities
The subsidiaries of Airthings ASA are presented below:
| Consolidated entities | Office | Funct. CUR |
Shareholding | Group's voting ownership share |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Airthings America INC | USA | USD | 100% | 100% |
| Airthings AB | Sweden | SEK | 100% | 100% |
Airtight AS was a subsidiary of Airthings ASA as of 31 December 2020, but have in 2021 been merged with the parent company. All subsidiaries are included in the consolidated statement of financial position.
4.2 Business combinations
There have been no business combinations during 2021. In 2020, the Group acquired Airtight AS.
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A business combination is as a transaction or other event in which an acquirer obtains control of one or more businesses. A business consists of inputs and processes applied to those inputs that have the ability to create outputs. Determining whether a particular set of assets and activities is a business should be based on whether the integrated set is capable of being conducted and managed as a business by a market participant.
Business combinations are accounted for according to IFRS 3 using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, which is measured at fair value at acquisition date according to IFRS 13, and the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree. For each business combination, the Group elects whether to measure the non-controlling interests in the acquiree at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquirees' identifiable net assets. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred and included in other operating expenses.
When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic circumstances and pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date.
Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer will be recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. Contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability that is a financial instrument and within the scope of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, is measured at fair value with the changes in fair value recognized in the statement of profit or loss.
Goodwill arises in a business combination when the fair value of consideration transferred exceeds the fair value of identifiable assets acquired less the fair value of identifiable liabilities assumed. Goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to each of the Group's cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the combination irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units, and tested subsequently for impairment.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
In a business combination, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are valued at fair value at the time of acquisition. The various assets and liabilities are valued on the basis of different models, requiring estimates and assumptions to be made. Goodwill is the residual value in this allocation. Errors in estimates and assumptions can lead to an error in the split of the value between the various assets and liabilities incl. goodwill, but the sum of the total excess values will always be consistent with the purchase price paid.
The economic useful life of intangible assets acquired in a business combination are assessed as either finite or indefinite. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are subsequently tested for impairment by assessing the recoverable amount of the CGU to which the intangible assets relates, further described in note 5.2. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over the useful economic life and assessed for impairment or changes to the amortization period as described in note 5.1. The assumptions applied to determining the economic useful lives in a business combination may involve considerable estimates such as future innovations and developments to software and technology.
Determination of fair values
Fair values have been determined for initial recognition based on the following methods:
Property, plant and equipment acquired in a business combination
The fair value of items of equipment, fixtures and fittings is based on a market or cost approach using quoted market prices for similar items when available and replacement cost when appropriate.
Intangible assets acquired in a business combination
The fair value of technology acquired in a business combination is determined using the multi-period excess earnings method, whereby the subject asset is valued as a residual after deducting a fair return on all other assets that are part of creating the related cash flows.
Other current assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination
The fair value of other current assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination is determined based on the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and sale.
Acquisitions in 2020
On 21 August 2020, the Group acquired 100% of the voting shares of Airtight AS ("Airtight"). Airtight is a software company that has developed patented technology to reduce energy waste from commercial buildings. The Airtight solution is enabling a significant reduction of energy waste from buildings. The smart sensor technology monitors and balances energy waste from buildings, using existing ventilation systems.
The transaction is accounted for as a business combination in accordance with IFRS 3. The
acquisition date for accounting purposes corresponds to the date when the Group obtained control of the legal entity, on 21 August 2020.
The acquisition-date fair value of the total consideration transferred was USD 5.0 million, whereas USD 1.4 of cash and USD 3.6 million of shares in Airthings ASA. Transaction costs related to legal services of USD 5 thousands were expensed and are included in other operating expenses for 2020.
From the date of acquisition until end of 2020, Airtight AS contributed with a total of USD 25 thousands of revenue and negative USD 25 thousands to the net profit before tax. Further, total revenue of the combined entity would have been USD 20.9 million in 2020 if the business combination had occurred on 1 January 2020.
The following intangible assets outside of goodwill were identified in the Airtight acquisition, including management's expectation of economic useful life:
• Technology - 10 years
Only assets and liabilities where fair value exceeded the carrying amount under other IFRS standards are included in the summary above.
The fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of Airtight AS as at the date of acquisition were:
| Fair value recognized on acquisition (USD 1,000) | 21.08.2020 |
|---|---|
| ASSETS | |
| Non-current assets | |
| Intangible assets - Technology | 1,678 |

| Purchase consideration transferred | |
| Cash | 1,418 |
| Shares in Airthings ASA | 3,583 |
| Total purchase consideration transferred | 5,001 |
* Other current assets include trade receivables with a fair value of USD 61 thousands (equals the gross contractual amounts receivable). At the date of the acquisition, the Group expected the total amount of the contractual cash flows to be collected.
Provision for deferred tax is made for the difference between acquisition cost and acquired tax base in accordance with IAS 12. Offsetting entry of this non-cash deferred tax is technical goodwill. The remaining goodwill includes the value of expected synergies arising from the acquisition and assembled workforce, which is not separately recognized.
None of the goodwill recognized is expected to
be deductible for income tax purposes.
As the Airtight system is integrated with the components of the Group's business segment and management monitors the business on this level, the goodwill arising from the transaction is allocated to the Group's business segment CGU. For impairment considerations of goodwill, reference is made to note 5.2.

Section 5 - Fixed assets
5.1 Intangible assets
Nature of the Group's intangible assets
The Group's intangible assets mainly comprise of software and systems, internal development projects and technology acquired through the acquisition of subsidiaries.
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Intangible assets acquired
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets acquired in a business combination is their fair value on the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses.
Capitalization of internal development costs
Development expenditures on an individual project, which represents new applications, are recognized as an intangible asset when the Group can demonstrate:
- The technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that the asset will be available for use or sale
- Its intention to complete and its ability and intention to use or sell the asset
- How the asset will generate future economic benefits
- The availability of resources to complete the asset
- The ability to measure reliably the expenditure during development
Other costs are classified as research and are expensed as incurred. These expenses are disclosed in note 2.5.
Useful lives and subsequent measurement
The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite and may in some cases involve considerable assessments. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.
Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over the useful economic life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortization period and the amortization method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period. The initial assessment and review of economic useful lives requires management to make estimates and assumptions on the Group's IP and competition in the future. Changes in the expected useful life are treated as changes in accounting estimates.

The additions in 2020 are mainly related to the acquisition of Airtight, in addition to a new app for the Pro segment conducted by an external consultancy. The app was completed in late 2020 and amortization commenced. Additions in 2021 relate to implementation of a subscription tool within the Airthings for Business segment.
5.2 Goodwill & impairment considerations
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Recognized goodwill in the Group is derived from the acquisition of Airtight AS in 2020, see note 4.2 for more information.
Goodwill is an intangible asset which may not individually be recognized as an intangible asset due
to the requirements in IAS 38. The value of goodwill is primarily related to synergies, assembled workforce and their competency to generate and commercialize new technology as well as high growth expectations. Goodwill also arises due to the requirement to recognize deferred tax liabilities for the difference between the assigned values and the tax bases of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination at amounts that do not reflect fair value.
Goodwill is initially measured at cost (being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred, the amount recognized for non-controlling interests, and any previous interest held over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed).
After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group's cash-generating units (CGUs) that are expected to benefit from the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units.
According to IFRS 3, goodwill is to be allocated at the acquisition date, to each of the acquirer's CGUs, or groups of CGUs, which are expected to benefit from the business combination. This can include existing CGUs of the acquirer irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units. The Goodwill from the acquisition of Airtight AS in 2020 was allocated to the business segment CGU. The key assumptions used to determine the recoverable amount of the CGU are disclosed further below.
Impairment considerations
The Group has goodwill which are subject to annual impairment testing. The testing is performed annually as at 31 December and when circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired.
Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of each CGU (or group of CGUs) to which goodwill relates. When the recoverable amount of the CGU is less than its carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized. Impairment losses relating to goodwill cannot be reversed in future periods.
An asset's recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's or CGUs fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. When the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.
The Group applies the value-in-use model for determining recoverable amount for the purpose of goodwill impairment testing. For more information on the model and key assumptions, see description below.

|---|---|
| Gross amount as at 1 January 2020 | |
| Additions through acquisition (see note 4.2) | 3,145 |
| Currency translation effects | 172 |

| Carrying amount as at 31 December 2020 | 3,317 |
| Carrying amount as at 31 December 2021 | 3,210 |
All of the Group's goodwill is allocated to the Business segment CGU.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS
Business segment - CGU
For impairment testing, goodwill acquired through the business combination of Airtight was allocated to the business segment CGU. Reference is made to note 4.2 for further information on the business combination which occurred in August 2020. The business segment CGU is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows to the Group (that goodwill can be allocated to), and these are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets.
Basis for determining the recoverable amount
The CGUs recoverable amount has been determined based on its value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. The cash flows are derived from detailed budget and forecast calculations for the next four years approved by the Board of Directors. Restructuring activities and significant future investments are excluded from the budgets. A long-term growth rate is calculated and applied to project future cash flows after the fifth year. The recoverable amount is sensitive to revenue growth in the forecast period, the discount rate, expected future cash flows and the terminal growth rate.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
Impairment testing of goodwill
The calculation of value in use for the CGU's are most sensitive to the following assumptions:
- Revenue growth
- Free cash flow margin (before tax)
- Pre-tax discount rate
- Terminal growth rate
Revenue growth
The expected growth in revenues are based on the expected growth in the industry and the Group's market share. The growth forecast is based on management's expectations of future conditions in the markets incl. competition. The assumption is presented as the constant average growth rate over the forecast period.
EBITDA margin
The EBITDA margin is determined from an analysis of historical levels before tax, adjusted for expected changes to employee benefit expenses, other expenses, capital expenditures and changes to working capital.
Pre-tax discount rate
The discount rate reflects the current market assessment of the risks specific to the CGU. The pre-tax discount rate is estimated based on the weighted average cost of capital (WACC).
Terminal growth rate
The terminal growth rate is the estimated long-term rate of growth in the economy where the business operates, aligned with long term global inflation targets.
The key assumptions used to determine the recoverable amount for the business CGU are presented below. The recoverable amount of the cash generating units are higher than their carrying amount and no impairment loss has been recognized in the current or prior period.
| CGU | Revenue growth in | EBITDA | Terminal | Pre-tax dis |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| the forecast period* | margin | growth rate | count rate | |
| Business CGU - 31 December 2021 | 20.3% | 9.80% | 2.0 % | 11.4 % |
*Revenue growth rate is based on a compound annual growth rate (CAGR)
Sensitivity analysis
Future events could cause the key assumptions to deviate from the amounts used in the forecast period. The Group has performed a sensitivity analysis for each key assumption; revenue growth in the forecast period, EBITDA margin (before tax), terminal growth rate and the pre-tax discount rate. Management believes that no reasonably possible change in the key assumptions above would cause the carrying amount of the CGU to materially exceed its recoverable amount.
5.3 Property, plant and equipment
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Property, plant and equipment ("PP&E") is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. When significant parts of PP&E are required to be replaced at intervals, the Group depreciates them separately based on their specific useful lives. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of PP&E are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.
The Group assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is an indication that property, plant and equipment may be impaired. If such indication exists, the Group estimates the asset's or CGUs recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's or CGUs fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. The recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets.
No indicators for impairment of property, plant and equipment were identified in the current or prior period.

5.4 Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
At inception of a contract, The Group assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
Group as a lessee
At the commencement date, the Group recognizes a lease liability and corresponding right-of-use asset for all lease agreements in which it is the lessee, except for the following exemptions applied:
- Short-term leases (defined as 12 months or less)
- Low value assets (with an underlying value of less than USD 5 thousands)
For these leases, the Group recognizes the lease payments as operating expenses in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
Measuring the lease liability
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments for the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term that are not paid at the commencement date. The lease term represents the non-cancellable period of the lease, together with periods covered by an option to extend the lease when the Group is reasonably certain to exercise this option, and periods covered by an option to terminate the lease if the Group is reasonably certain not to exercise that option.
The lease payments included in the measurement comprise:
- Fixed lease payments, less any lease incentives received
- Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date
The lease liability is subsequently measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability, reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made and remeasuring the carrying amount to reflect any reassessment or lease modifications, or to reflect adjustments in lease payments due to an adjustment in and index or rate.
The Group presents its lease liabilities as separate line items in the consolidated statement of financial position.
Measuring the right-of-use asset
The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost. The cost of the right-of-use asset includes the corresponding amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability, any lease payments made at or before the commencement date and initial direct costs incurred.
The right-of-use asset is subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, applying the same policies for impairment as for property, plant and equipment (note 5.3). The right-of-use asset is depreciated from the commencement date to the earlier of the lease term and the remaining useful life of the right-of-use asset. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis.
The Group presents its right-of-use assets as separate line items in the consolidated statement of financial position.
Group as a lessor
The Group does also act as a lessor through the professional segment, where the Group rents out equipment on a short term basis. Such leases in which the Group does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset are classified as operating leases. The Group does not have finance leases. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized over the lease term on the same basis as rental income.
The Group's assets under operating leases are included as property, plant and equipment and presented as rental instruments in note 5.3.
The Group's rental income under operating leases is included as revenue in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and specified in note 2.2.
The Group's leased assets
The Group leases several assets, mainly office space in Oslo and Bergen, Norway. Additionally, the Group leases office space in Stockholm, Sweden and Fort Worth, Texas, Chicago, Florida
and Massachusetts, USA. Leases of office space generally have lease terms between 3 and 10 years. The Group also leases office equipment, however, these are expensed as incurred as they are either considered short-term or of low-value.
The Group's right-of-use assets recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position are presented in the table below:
| Right-of-use assets (USD 1,000) | Office space | Other | Total |

Lease commitments not included in the lease liabilities
Inflation adjustments
In addition to the lease liabilities presented above, the Group is committed to pay variable lease payments for its office buildings, mainly related to future inflation adjustments which is not included in the initial calculation of lease liabilities. The lease liability and right-of-use asset will be adjusted to reflect the inflation adjustment when the uncertainty related to the adjustment has been resolved, however, due to low inflation forecasts these adjustments are expected to be immaterial.
Extension and termination options
The Group has some lease contracts that include extension and termination options. These options are negotiated by management to provide flexibility in managing the Group's business needs. The Group did not include the extension period for leases as part of the lease term when management were not reasonably certain to exercise the option to extend the leases. Furthermore, the periods covered by termination options are included as part of the lease term only when they are reasonably certain not to be exercised.
Other matters
The Group's leases does not contain provisions or restrictions that impacts that Group's dividend policies or financing possibilities.
Section 6 - Financial instruments and equity
6.1 Overview of financial instruments
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.
Classification of financial instruments
The Group's financial instruments are grouped in the following categories:
Financial Assets
Financial assets measured subsequently at amortized cost:
This includes mainly trade receivables and cash and cash equivalents.
In order for a financial asset to be classified and measured at amortized cost or fair value through OCI, it needs to give rise to cash flows that are 'solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI)' on the principal amount outstanding. This assessment is referred to as the SPPI test and is performed at an instrument level. All of the Group's financial assets (i.e. trade receivables and cash and cash equivalents) are part of the Group's business model with the sole objective to collect contractual cash flows. Additionally, the contractual terms of the financial assets, primarily applicable to trade receivables, give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, thereby passing the SPPI test.
Reference is made to note 3.2 for information about the Group's policies related to estimating expected credit losses.
Financial Liabilities
Financial liabilities measured subsequently at amortized cost:
Represent the Group's interest-bearing liabilities as well as non-interest bearing liabilities such as trade payables.
The Group does not have derivative financial instruments. None of the Group's financial liabilities are designated as at fair value through profit or loss, i.e. they are all measured at amortized cost.
Initial recognition and subsequent measurement
The Group's financial assets and liabilities are initially recognized at fair value plus directly attributable transaction expenses.
Subsequently, these instruments are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method (EIR). Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss upon impairment, when the instruments are derecognized as well as through the EIR amortization process.
Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets measured at amortized cost are considered for impairment by recognizing an allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs). The Group applies a simplified approach (as applicable for trade receivables) in calculating ECLs, where the Group does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognizes a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. The Group bases its ECLs on its historical losses, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment (e.g. market trends, default rates in the retail market etc.).
Derecognition of financial instruments
A financial asset is derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or the Group
has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full under a "passthrough" arrangement.
A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms or the terms of an existing liability are substantially
modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
The carrying amount of the Group's financial assets and liabilities are presented in the tables below:

6.4 Financial risk management
Overview
The Group's principal financial liabilities comprise lease liabilities and trade and other payables. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Groups' operations. The Group's principal financial assets include trade receivables, and cash and short-term deposits that derive directly from its operations.
The Group is exposed to a range of risks affecting its financial performance, including market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group seeks to minimize potential adverse effects of such risks through sound business practice, risk management and hedging.
Risk management is a continuous process and an integrated part of the Group's business. When operating across multiple markets, Airthings is exposed to a range of risks that may affect its business. The key risk areas are discussed below.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk for the Group comprises two types of risk: interest rate risk and currency risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include interest bearing debt, cash and cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, lease liabilities and trade and other payables.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Group's borrowings have historically been exposed to interest rate fluctuations. As all borrowings were repaid in January 2021, the Group does no longer have any significant interest rate risk related to interest-bearing liabilities.
Interest rate sensitivity
The sensitivity to a possible change in interest rates, with all other variables held constant, on the Group's profit before tax, is illustrated below. In calculating the sensitivity analyses, the Group assumes that the sensitivity of the relevant statement of profit or loss item is the effect of the assumed changes in respective financial risks.
| Interest rate sensitivity | Increase / decrease in basis points |
Effect on profit before tax (USD 1,000) |
|---|---|---|
| 31 December 2021 | +/- 50 | |
| 31 December 2020 | +/- 50 | 10 |
| 1 January 2020 | +/- 50 | 10 |
Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Group is exposed to currency fluctuations due to the international nature of its operations. The Group's exposure to the risk of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Group's operating activities (revenue and expenses denominated in a foreign currency) and the Group's net investments in foreign subsidiaries. A significant part of revenues is denominated in USD, with a small portion incurred in NOK, EUR and CAD. Most of its operating expenses are incurred in NOK. Further, the Group could also potentially be negatively affected by fluctuations in other currencies in the future. The Group does not currently hedge currency exposure with the use of financial instruments but monitors the net exposure over time.
Foreign currency sensitivity
The following table illustrates the sensitivity for a hypothetical increase or decrease in the foreign exchange rates related to the Group's financial assets and liabilities in the period, holding all other variables constant:
| Foreign currency sensitivity | Date | Change in FX rate |
Effect on profit before tax (USD 1,000) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Increase / decrease in NOK/USD | 31.12.2021 | +/- 10% | 526 |
| Increase / decrease in NOK/USD | 31.12.2020 | +/- 10% | 502 |
| Increase / decrease in NOK/USD | 01.01.2020 | +/- 10% | 362 |
| Foreign currency sensitivity | Date | Change in FX rate |
Effect on profit before tax (USD 1,000) |
| Increase / decrease in NOK/CAD | 31.12.2021 | +/- 10% | 470 |
| Increase / decrease in NOK/CAD | 31.12.2020 | +/- 10% | 115 |
| Increase / decrease in NOK/CAD | 01.01.2020 | +/- 10% | 41 |
| Foreign currency sensitivity | Date | Change in FX rate |
Effect on profit before tax (USD 1,000) |
| Increase / decrease in NOK/EUR | 31.12.2021 | +/- 10% | 267 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Increase / decrease in NOK/EUR | 31.12.2020 | +/- 10% | 216 |
| Increase / decrease in NOK/EUR | 01.01.2020 | +/- 10% | 97 |
Credit risk
Credit risk represents the possibility of a counterparty not meeting its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. The Group is mainly exposed to credit risk from its operating activities.
The credit risk is low in the Consumer segment, where most sales are based on upfront or simultaneous payment, and the Group may also seek advance payments to offset risk on trade receivables in the other segments. The Group has close connection with its customers and receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis. It is the Group's policy that all customers wishing to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures, which include an assessment of credit rating, short-term liquidity, and financial position.
The Group's exposure to losses have historically been low. However, the increased operations of the Group outside the US and home market exposes Airthings to different credit risk environments. The Board of Directors deems credit risk to be at an acceptable level given the current operational circumstances and outlook of the Group.
An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date to measure expected credit losses. The provision rates are based on days past due, product type, customer type and rating, and coverage by letters of credit or other forms of credit insurance. For an overview of the ageing of trade receivables and the expected credit losses recognized for trade receivables see note 3.2.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity represents the risk that the Group may potentially encounter difficulties in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities that are settled by provision of cash or another financial asset. The Group supervises its risk by monitoring its working capital, and overdue trade receivables. The Group has a strong cash position of USD 42 million, which the Board of Directors consider sufficient to fund the Group's growth strategy towards in long-term revenue targets. The liquidity risk is hence considered to be limited.
An overview of the maturity profile of the Group's financial liabilities with corresponding cash flow effect is presented in note 6.3 and 6.10.
6.5 Fair value measurement
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Group.
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest. A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant's ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level
input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
- Level 1 Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
- Level 2 Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable
- Level 3 Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable
Fair value disclosures
Management has assessed that the fair values of cash and short-term deposits, trade and other receivables, trade payables and other current liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments and the current risk free interest rates.
Interest-bearing liabilities
The fair values of the Group's interest-bearing loans and borrowings are determined by using the discounted cash flow (DCF) method using a discount rate that reflects the issuer's borrowing rate as at the end of the reporting period. The own non-performance risk as at 31 December 2021 was assessed to be insignificant.
Set out below is a comparison, by class, of the carrying amounts and fair values of the Group's financial instruments, other than those with carrying amounts that are reasonable approximations of fair values:
| Liabilities disclosed at fair value (USD 1,000) |
Date | Carrying amount |
Fair value |
Level 1 |
Level 2 |
Level 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Interest-bearing liabilities (note 6.2) | 31.12.2021 | |||||
| Interest-bearing liabilities (note 6.2) | 31.12.2020 | 1,901 | 1,901 | X | ||
| Interest-bearing liabilities (note 6.2) | 01.01.2020 | 2,037 | 2,037 | X |
The Group had no interest-bearing debt as of 31 December 2021.
6.6 Cash and cash equivalents
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Cash and cash equivalents in the statement of financial position comprise cash at banks and short-term deposits with a maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. For the purpose of the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and shortterm deposits. Restricted bank deposits comprise of cash for withholding taxes which may not be used for other purposes, in addition to restricted funds related to a credit agreement with DNB MasterCard and restricted deposits in Nordea.
| Cash and cash equivalents (USD 1,000) | 31.12.2021 | 31.12.2020 | 01.01.2020 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bank deposits, unrestricted | 40,846 | 61,800 | 5,352 |
| Bank deposits, restricted | 1,328 | 1,143 | 238 |
| Total cash and cash equivalents | 42,174 | 62,943 | 5,589 |
Bank deposits earns a low interest at floating rates based on the bank deposit rates.
6.7 Share capital and shareholders information
For the purpose of the Group's capital management, capital includes issued capital, share premium and all other equity reserves attributable to the equity holders of the parent. The primary objective of the Group's capital management is to ensure that it maintains a healthy working capital and financial stability in order to support its growing business operations and to
maximize shareholder value.
The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or issue debt. The Group monitors capital using an equity ratio, which is 'Total equity' divided by 'Total assets'.
| (USD 1,000) | 31.12.2021 | 31.12.2020 | 01.01.2020 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total Equity | 67,842 | 76,648 | 10,300 |
| Total Assets | 83,680 | 90,976 | 19,190 |
| Equity ratio | 81% | 84% | 54% |
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Treasury shares
Own equity instruments that are reacquired (treasury shares) are recognized at cost and deducted from equity. No gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Group's own equity instruments. Any difference between the carrying amount and the consideration, if sold, is recognized as other equity.
Costs related to equity transactions
Direct and incremental transaction costs are deducted from equity, net of associated income tax.
Distribution to shareholders
The Group recognizes a liability to make distributions to equity holders when the distribution is authorized and the distribution is no longer at the discretion of the Group. As per the corporate laws of Norway, a distribution is authorized when it is approved by the shareholders. A corresponding amount is recognized directly in equity. No distributions were made to shareholders in the current or prior period. Further, there are no proposed dividends.
The ultimate parent
Airthings ASA is the ultimate parent of the Group.

6.8 Share-based payments
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Employees (including members of the Board and management) of the Group receive remuneration in the form of share-based payments, whereby employees render services as consideration for equity instruments (equitysettled transactions).
Equity-settled transactions
The cost of equity-settled transactions is determined by the fair value at the date when the grant is made using
an appropriate valuation model (the Black-Scholes-Merton Model).
That cost is recognized in employee benefits expense, together with a corresponding increase in equity (other capital reserves), over the period in which the service and, where applicable, the performance conditions are fulfilled (the vesting period). The cumulative expense recognized for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Group's best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The expense or credit in the statement of profit or loss for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognized as at the beginning and end of that period.
Service and non-market performance conditions are not taken into account when determining the grant date fair value of awards, but the likelihood of the conditions being met is assessed as part of the Group's best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. Market performance conditions are reflected within the grant date fair value. Any other conditions attached to an award, but without an associated service requirement, are considered to be non-vesting conditions. Non-vesting conditions are reflected in the fair value of an award and lead to an immediate expensing of an award unless there are also service and/or performance conditions.
No expense is recognized for awards that do not ultimately vest because non-market performance and/or service conditions have not been met. Where awards include a market or non-vesting condition, the transactions are treated as vested irrespective of whether the market or non-vesting condition is satisfied, provided that all other performance and/or service conditions are satisfied.
Share option plans - description
Option scheme 2018
Under the Group's share option plan from 2018, rights to purchase Airthings ASA shares at a specific price are granted to members of the Board, management and employees of the Group. Each option grant vest as follows: 25% of the options are vested 12 months from the grant date, then 1/48 vest each month thereafter. Full vesting occurs after four years and last possible exercise is 10 years from grant date.
Option scheme 2021
Options granted after the Annual General Meeting 2021 vests with equal tranches with 25% each year starting on the first anniversary of the grant date. The options can be exercised after they are fully vested until they expire 5 years after the grant date.
The Group accounts for the share options under the two option schemes as equity-settled transactions, measured by applying the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model for European options ("BSM"). Share options held by members of the Board and management at the end of the reporting period are summarized in note 7.1.
The fair value of the options were determined at the grant dates and expensed over the vesting period. USD 608 thousands was expensed as employee benefit expenses in the period (USD 460 thousands in 2020). The expected future social security tax on share based payments are recorded as a liability and disclosed in note 3.5.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
Estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions requires determination of the most appropriate valuation model, which depends on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate also requires determination of the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life of the options, volatility and dividend yield and making assumptions about them. Due to limited historical data and liquidity these assumptions include significant estimates by management.
Assumptions used to determine fair value of option grants:
The following table list the inputs to the model used for the plans for the years ended 31 December 2021 and 31 December 2020, respectively:
| 2021 | 2020 | |
|---|---|---|
| Weighted average fair values at the measurement date (NOK) | 4.05 | 3.46 |
| Dividend yield (%) | 0% | 0% |
| Expected volatility (%) | 45.6% | 48.9% |
| Risk–free interest rate (%) | 1.20% | 0.95% |
| Expected life of share options (years) | 5.79 | 9.99 |
| Weighted average share price (NOK) | 9.67 | 5.66 |
| Weighted average exercise price (NOK) | 9.36 | 5.08 |
| Model used | BSM | BSM |
The expected life of the options is based on historical data and current expectations and is not necessarily indicative of exercise patterns that may occur. The expected volatility reflects the assumption that the historical volatility over a period similar to the life of the options is indicative of future trends, which may not necessarily be the actual outcome.
Exercise of options are subject to social security taxes (SST). For SST-provisions, see note 3.5.
6.9 Earnings per share
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit for the year attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.
Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to ordinary equity holders of the
parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year plus the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would be issued on conversion of all the dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares.
The following table reflects the income and share data used in the EPS calculations:
| (Profit or loss in USD) | 2021 | 2020 |
|---|---|---|
| Profit or loss attributable to ordinary equity holders - for basic EPS | -7 260 506 | -4 130 864 |
| Profit or loss attributable to ordinary equity holders adjusted for the effect of dilution* |
-7 260 506 | -4 130 864 |
| Weighted average number of ordinary shares - for basic EPS | 171 306 689 | 131 891 490 |
| Weighted average number of ordinary shares adjusted for the effect of dilution |
178 442 358 | 140 197 370 |
| Basic EPS - profit or loss attributable to equity holders of the parent |
-0.04 | -0.03 |
| Diluted EPS - profit or loss attributable to equity holders of the parent* |
-0.04 | -0.03 |
*The ordinary shares are not adjusted for the effect of dilution as the effect of including the additional shares is antidilutive.

Section 7 - Other disclosures
7.1 Remuneration to Management and Board

Section 8 - Changes in accounting policies
8.1 First time adoption of IFRS
These financial statements, for the period ended 31 December 2021 are the first the Group has prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union (EU).
Accordingly, the Group has prepared financial statements that comply with IFRS applicable as at 31 December 2021, together with the comparative period ended 31 December 2020, as described in the basis of preparation (note 1.2). In preparing the financial statements, the Group's opening statement of financial position was prepared as at 1 January 2020, the Group's date of transition to IFRS.
This note explains the principal adjustments made by the Group when transitioning to IFRS from its previous reporting framework; Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in Norway ("NGAAP") as of 1 January 2020, as well as for the period ended 31 December 2020.
Exemptions applied
IFRS 1 allows first-time adopters certain exemptions from the retrospective application of certain requirements under IFRS. The Group has applied the following exemptions:
- The Group has decided to use the option of calculating the right-of-use asset and lease liability as net present value of remaining lease payments as at 1 January 2020, using the incremental borrowing rate. The leases where the lease period ends within 12 months from the transition date, are treated as short term leases.
-
The Group has decided to use the practical expedient in IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers to not restate contracts that are completed at transition date, 1 January
-
IFRS 1 defines a completed contract as a contract for which the entity has transferred all of the goods or services as identified in accordance with previous GAAP.
• As at 1 January 2020, the Group has set its cumulative translation differences that existed at the transition date to IFRS to zero.
Effect of transition to IFRS
The main differences recognized at the transition to IFRS are:
- The recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities with corresponding depreciation and interest expenses, which was previously expensed as part of operating expenses
- Difference related to consideration payable to customers (accounted for as revenue reduction under IFRS)
- Reversal of goodwill amortization
The impact of the IFRS adjustments on the consolidated statement of financial position when transitioning from NGAAP as at 1 January 2020, and 31 December 2020 are described in detail below. Additionally, the impact of the IFRS adjustments on the consolidated statement of profit or loss and the consolidated statement of cash flows are described in detail further below.
NGAAP figures presented below are based on previously reported annual reports and translated to USD by using end rates for balance sheet and average rates for statement of comprehensive income. Where balances are subsequently restated, figures are based on the last presented restated balance in the annual report or interim report for Q4 2021.

IFRS adjustments of consolidated financial position as at 1 January 2020:
A: The IFRS adjustment of USD 2,579 thousands reflects the recognized right-of-use asset less depreciation for the year related to leasing of office space. Under NGAAP lease payments were accounted for as operating expenses and hence no right-of-use asset has previously been recognized.
B: The IFRS adjustments of USD 2,319 thousands and USD 260 thousands reflect the non-current and current portion of the lease liability recognized for leasing of office space under IFRS 16. Under NGAAP no lease liability was recognized.
C: The IFRS adjustment of USD 1,038 thousands reflects adjustments related to accrued consideration payable to a customer. Under IFRS this amount is estimated when the sale occurs and recognized as a provision. The transaction price is reduced accordingly.
D: The IFRS adjustment of USD 228 thousands reflects the recognition of deferred tax asset related to the IFRS adjustment described under "C" above.
E: The IFRS adjustment of USD 810 thousands reflects the effect on equity related to the IFRS adjustment described under "C" above.

B: The IFRS adjustments of USD 3,243 thousands and USD 473 thousands reflect the non-current and current portion of the lease liability recognized for leasing of office space under IFRS 16.
C: Prior to conversion to IFRS, goodwill was amortized. The IFRS adjustment of USD 221 thousands consists of reversal of previously recognized goodwill as goodwill is not amortized under IFRS, but rather tested for impairment annually.
D: The IFRS adjustment of USD 265 thousands in deferred tax assets consists of the income tax effect of the IFRS adjustment related to IFRS 16 and IFRS 15 effects.
E: The IFRS adjustment of USD 718 thousands consists of the P&L effect of the years IFRS adjustments in addition to translation differences on the IFRS adjustments and adjustments in the opening balance of equity at the date of transition to IFRS.

Alternative performance measures
This section includes information about alternative performance measures (APMs) applied by the Group.
These alternative performance measures are presented to improve the ability of stakeholders to evaluate the Group's operating performance. The Group applies the following APMs:
Annual recurring revenue (ARR)
ARR is the value of annualized sales from all active subscriptions, licenses and service contracts within the Airthings for Business and Professional segments. The calculation is based on monthly subscription fees as at 31 December (MRR), multiplied by 12 in order to represent an annualized figure. The numbers presented in the table below are translated from NOK to USD applying the average NOK/ USD exchange rate for 2021 and 2020 respectively. ARR is considered an important supplemental measure for stakeholders to get an overall understanding of revenue generation within the Group's operating activities.
| (USD 1,000) | 2021 | 2020 |
|---|---|---|
| MRR December (as per IFRS financial statements) | 239 | 94 |
| ARR | 2,866 | 1,132 |
EBITDA
The Group's earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) is used to provide consistent information on Airthings' operating performance relative to other companies, and is frequently used by analysts, investors and other stakeholders when evaluating the financial performance of the Group. EBITDA, as defined by Airthings, includes total operating revenue and excludes depreciation, amortization and impairment loss.

| Revenue | 33,671 | 20,893 |
| EBITDA | -8,035 | -4,786 |
| EBITDA margin | -24% | -23% |

Income from sale of goods and services are recognized at fair value, net after deduction of VAT, returns, discounts and reductions.
Revenue from sale of goods
Revenue from sale of goods are recognized in the income statement when both risk and control have passed on to the buyer. The risk being the asset's profit and loss potential, whilst control is defined as having both the decision-making rights as well as the jurisdiction. Normally this will be when the goods are delivered to the customer. Historical data is applied to estimate and make provisions for quantity discount and returns at the date of sales.
Revenue from sale of software as a service (SaaS)
The Company also has revenue from license fees, which are SaaS contracts consisting of a software licensing model where software is licensed on a
subscription basis and centralized on Airthings platform. Revenue from SaaS arrangements, where the customer cannot take possession of the software license and where the software license cannot be separated from its related hosting services are considered as "right to access" licenses and revenue is recognized over time (i.e. the subscription period).
1.6 Share-based payments
Airthings has a share-based payment program where all employees are granted share options when they commence in their position.
Equity-settled transactions
The cost of equity-settled transactions is determined by the fair value at the date when the grant is made using an appropriate valuation model (the Black-Scholes-Merton Model).
That cost is recognized in employee benefits expense, together with a corresponding increase in equity (other capital reserves), over the period in which the service and, where applicable, the performance conditions are fulfilled (the vesting period). The cumulative expense recognized for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Company's best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The expense or credit in the statement of profit or loss for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognized as at the beginning and end of that period.
Service and non-market performance conditions are not taken into account when determining the grant date fair value of awards, but the likelihood of the conditions being met is assessed as part of the Company's best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. Market performance conditions are reflected within the grant date fair value. Any other conditions attached to an award, but without an associated service requirement, are considered to be non-vesting conditions.
Non-vesting conditions are reflected in the fair value of an award and lead to an immediate expensing of an award unless there are also service and/or performance conditions.
No expense is recognized for awards that do not ultimately vest because non-market performance and/or service conditions have not been met. Where awards include a market or non-vesting condition, the transactions are treated as vested irrespective of whether the market or non-vesting condition is satisfied, provided that all other performance and/or service conditions are satisfied.
1.7 Pensions
The Company has a defined contribution pension plan for its employees which satisfies the statutory requirements in the Norwegian law on required occupational pension ("lov om obligatorisk tjenestepensjon").
The scheme is a defined contribution plan. Contributions are paid to pension insurance plans and charged to the income statement in the period to which the contributions relate. Once the contributions have been paid, there are no further payment obligations.
1.8 Goodwill
Recognized goodwill in the Company us derived from the merger with Airtight in 2021. Goodwill is depreciated over five years. In addition, goodwill is reviewed for impairment, annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired.
1.9 Intangible assets
Expenditure on own Research and Development are expensed as and when they incur.
Expenses for other intangible assets are reflected in the balance sheet providing a future financial benefit relating to the development of an identifiable intangible asset can be identified and the cost can be measured reliably. Otherwise, such expenditure is expensed as and when incurred. Capitalised development costs
are amortized linearly over the asset's expected useful life.
1.10 Fixed assets
Property, plant and equipment ("PP&E") are capitalised and depreciated linearly down to the residual value over the expected useful economic life of the assets. When the depreciation plan is changed, the effect is distributed over the remaining depreciation period. Maintenance of operating equipment is expensed on an ongoing basis. Upgrades or improvements are added to the acquisition cost of the asset and depreciated in line with the asset. The difference between maintenance and upgrade / improvement is assessed based on the condition of the asset when purchased. Plots and land are not depreciated.
Costs related to leases of fixed assets are expensed over the lease period. Prepayments are reflected in the balance sheet as a prepaid expense, and are distributed over the rental period.
1.11 Impairment of intangibleand fixed assets
Impairment tests are carried out if there is indication that the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the estimated recoverable amount. The test is performed on the lowest level of fixed assets at which independent ingoing cashflows can be identified. If the carrying amount is higher than both the fair value less cost to sell and the value in use (net present value of future use/ ownership), the asset is written down to the highest of fair value less cost to sell and the value in use.
Previous impairment charges, except write-down of goodwill, are reversed in later periods if the conditions causing the write-down are no longer present.
1.12 Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition are accounted for, as follows:
- Components: purchase cost on a first-in/ first-out basis (FIFO)
- Finished goods: cost of direct materials, direct wages, packaging and a proportion of manufacturing overheads based on the normal operating capacity
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
1.13 Investments in Subsidiaries
Investments in subsidiaries are valued at cost in the Company's financial statements. The investment is valued as cost of the shares in the subsidiary, less any impairment losses. An impairment loss is recognized if the impairment is not considered temporary, in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles. Impairment losses are reversed if the reason for the impairment loss disappears in a later period.
1.14 Receivables
Trade receivables and other receivables are recorded in the balance sheet at face value after deduction of provisions for expected loss. Provisions for losses are made on the basis of individual assessments of the individual receivables. Additionally, for accounts receivables, an unspecified provision is made to cover expected losses.
1.15 Income taxes
Current income tax
Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred Tax
Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.
Deferred tax liabilities have been recognized for all taxable temporary differences.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, the carry-forward of unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry-forward of unused tax losses can be utilized.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current income tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable company and the same taxation authority. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realized, or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.
1.16 Provisions
Provision for warranties and service work for completed projects /sales is recorded at the expected cost of such work. The estimate is based on historical figures for service and warranty repairs. The amount is recorded under other current liabilities and is recognized in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the warranty and service period.
1.17 Foreign currencies
Transactions in foreign currency are translated at the rate applicable on the transaction date. Monetary assets, receivables and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Changes to exchange rates are recognized in the income statement as they occur during the accounting period. Foreign currency gains or losses are reported as foreign exchange gain or foreign exchange loss in finance income or finance costs.

5.2 Business combinations
On 7 July 2021 Airthings ASA merged with its subsidiary Airtight AS, a software company that has developed patented technology to reduce energy waste from commercial buildings. The merger between the wholly-owned subsidiary and the parent company was contemplated to simplify the corporate structure of the Group. For accounting and tax purposes, the effective date of the merger was 1 January 2021. Airthings AS originally became a subsidiary of Airthings ASA in August 2020.
As Airtight AS was 100% owned by Airthings ASA, the vertical merger was carried out without payment of any consideration, according to the Public Limited Liability Companies Act. The merger was accounted for according to the guidance in section 6 of the Norwegian Accounting Standard 9 (NRS 9) concerning mergers, which implies use of the group continuity method. As such, on the effective date of the merger, all assets and liabilities in Airtight AS was continued into Airthings ASA's separate financial statements at the book values used in the consolidated financial statements of Airthings ASA. Airtight AS was simultaneously dissolved.
For tax purposes, the merger was implemented with full tax continuity, in accordance with Chapter 11 of the Taxation Act.
The table below illustrates the balance sheet of Airtight AS as at the effective date of the merger (1 January 2021) and represents the book values that were merged into Airthings ASA:

As the merger was accounted for according to the method of group continuity, in addition to the assets and liabilities presented above, NOK 13.2 million of excess values related to technology and NOK 26.4 million related to Goodwill were transferred from the consolidated financial statements to the separate financial statements of Airthings ASA as at the effective date of the merger. The effect on equity on the separate financial statements of Airthings ASA was NOK
- 2.5 million, which represents the difference between the book value of shares in Airthings previously recognized and net book value of Airtight's assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements of Airthings ASA.

6.2 Financial risk management
Overview
The parent company is exposed to a range of risks affecting its financial performance, including market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company seeks to minimize potential adverse effects of such risks through sound business practice, risk management and hedging.
Risk management is a continuous process and an integrated part of the Company's business. When operating across multiple markets, Airthings is exposed to a range of risks that may affect its business. The key risk areas are discussed below.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk for the Company comprises two types of risk: interest rate risk and currency risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include interest bearing debt, cash and cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, lease liabilities and trade and other payables.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company's borrowings have historically been exposed to interest rate fluctuations. As all borrowings were repaid in January 2021, the Company does no longer have any significant interest rate risk related to interest-bearing liabilities.
Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company is exposed to currency fluctuations due to the international nature of its operations. The Company's exposure to the risk of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Company's operating activities (revenue and expenses denominated in a foreign currency) and the Company's net investments in foreign subsidiaries. A significant part of revenues is denominated in USD, with a small portion incurred in NOK, EUR and CAD. Most of its operating expenses are incurred in NOK. Further, the Company could also potentially be negatively affected by fluctuations in other currencies in the future. The Company does not currently hedge currency exposure with the use of financial instruments but monitors the net exposure over time.
Credit risk
Credit risk represents the possibility of a counterparty not meeting its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. The Company is mainly exposed to credit risk from its operating activities.
The credit risk is low in the Consumer segment, where most sales are based on upfront or simultaneous payment, and the Company may also seek advance payments to offset risk on trade receivables in the other segments. The Company has close connection with its customers and receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis. It is the Company's policy that all customers wishing to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures, which include an assessment of credit rating, short-term liquidity, and financial position.
The Company's exposure to losses have historically been low. However, the increased operations of the Company outside the US and home markets exposes Airthings to different credit risk environments. The Board of Directors deems credit risk to be at an acceptable level given the current operational circumstances and outlook of the company.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity represents the risk where the Company may potentially encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities that are settled by provision of cash or another financial assets. The Company supervises its risk by monitoring its working capital, and overdue trade receivables. The Company has a strong cash position of NOK 360 million, which the Board of Directors consider sufficient to fund the company's growth strategy towards in long-term revenue targets. The liquidity risk is hence considered to be limited.
6.3 Share capital and shareholders information
The share capital of Airthings ASA as of 31 December 2021 was NOK 1,718,164.37 consisting of 171,816,437 ordinary shares at NOK 0.01 per share. The Company's shares have equal voting rights. For information of shareholder see note 6.7 the consolidated financial statements.
