Airthings 3.0
Updated strategy focused around three key pillars…

…to drive scalable growth and profit over time

The year in brief
Despite a continued challenging market with macro headwinds, Airthings delivered 3% revenue growth to USD 36.6 million in 2023, and 16% growth in annual recurring revenue (ARR) to 4.2 million. Gross profit grew 6% to USD 22.3 million with gross margin improvement from 59% to 61%, and the loss before tax, declined to USD 8.0 million from a loss of USD 13.7 million in 2022.
The Company has seen an increase in promising results after introducing a revised strategy, Airthings 3.0. Introduced in the second quarter of 2023, this strategy has a two-fold goal, first to drive revenue growth while improving gross profit margins and secondly, to lower the percentage share of operating costs.
For the last three quarters of 2023, Airthings reported 6% revenue growth, 3 percentage points higher gross margin, and 12% lower operating costs. As a result, the EBITDA loss for the last three quarters was reduced by USD 4.7 million to USD 3.6 million compared to the same three quarters in 2022.
The continued execution of Airthings 3.0 strategy will shorten the time to profitability, combined with efforts to reduce working capital, the new strategy means the Company is likely fully funded to break even.
Quarterly highlights
Airthings reinforced its brand as a leading indoor air quality company with the launch of a new consumer website at the CES conference in Las Vegas, and the new Airthings Energy Efficiency Toolkit was promoted at the world's largest HVAC event at AHR in Atlanta. Airthings was listed in Fortune 25 Top Healthy and Wellness Products for 2023.


Airthings entered the California school market with 5,000 devices sold under the CalSHAPE program, with significant potential for expansion. On the product side, Airthings launched Wave Plus Black for consumers on Airthings.com and Amazon. Airthings for Business saw the launch of 'Space Utilization', the first-ever IAQ monitoring tool with occupancy detection, and a new mobile app for facility management.
Sales on Airthings.com increased by 100%+ year-on-year, in line with the new strategy. The expansion of the Airthings for Business portfolio continued, with a new partnership with Lindab broadened from ventilation to HVAC, and new partnerships with Planon, Rentokil Initial, and DMI Companies.


With launches including Space Nano and Ventilation Rate for Airthings for Business, the portfolio of B2B solutions available continues to grow. Additionally, the Company unveiled Wave Enhance, the newest monitor from the consumer portfolio, as well as Airthings Renew, the Company's first smart air purifier, in the first week of 2024. This product allows Airthings to enter the direct IAQ mitigation space, and enable additional revenue streams from altogether new use cases. Airthings.com continued showing 100%+ year-on-year growth, increasing its share of Consumer revenue as planned.

Business overview
Airthings is uniquely positioned to be a global leader with a strong foundation in both the North American and European markets. Airthings derives 78% of its revenue from the USA and Canada and 22% from the EMEA region. Airthings sells to a trifold of the consumer market, the commercial business market, and radon professionals, representing the three business segments: Airthings for Consumer, Airthings for Business, and Airthings for Professionals.
Airthings for Consumer
Airthings for Consumer combines a range of top-of-theline air quality monitors and a newly launched air purifier with software solutions to enable consumers to create and maintain a healthy home environment. In 2023, revenue in this segment came in at USD 24.8 million, an increase of 8% from 2022. The number of new device registrations for connected products increased by 22% in 2023. In line with Airthings' 3.0 strategy, the Company is strengthening its direct-to-consumer sales channel while continuing to fortify its relationships with key retailers and partners worldwide.
Airthings for Business
The B2B segment offers indoor air quality solutions for schools, office buildings, and other public and commercial real estate. Revenue in this segment came in at USD 9.7 million, and the decline of 6% from 2022 reflects that the business segment remains heavily affected by large deals with individual customers. The number of devices in the field increased by 36% yearly, and annual recurring revenue (ARR) in AfB increased by 24% to USD 3.1 million.
Airthings for Professionals
Airthings for Professionals is the smallest of the three business segments, offering an easyto-use NRPP/NRSB certified radon measurement device with a dashboard solution tailored for home inspectors and radon professionals. In addition to device sales, Airthings offers calibration services, leasing, and an Affiliate Program for its users. Revenue in this segment amounted to USD 2.1 million in 2023, an increase of 3% from 2022.

Letter from the CEO
Dear Airthings Community,
Airthings is on a mission to empower the world to breathe better. Designed in Norway and trusted by the world, we've sold over one million air quality monitors worldwide. I am truly impressed by our dedicated team, which has built a global leader in the indoor air quality industry, and am honored to have the trust to lead this Company through the next phase, creating profitable growth. More people are now realizing the importance of good air quality in our homes, work, and schools. We're now at the point where it's time to change the perception of our products from "nice to have" to "must have."
From the early days, pushing the industry forward with innovative ways of measuring radon, Airthings has developed into a dynamic hardware-enabled software company with a broad range of smart and connected products. Today, our products continue to lead the market in radon measurement while monitoring other critical air contaminants and boosting energy efficiency in buildings.
With the announcement of Airthings Renew, our first smart air purifier, we step into a new market where we can now directly solve air quality and health issues in our customers' homes, delivering potential life-changing value to our users, and reaffirming our mission to empower the world to breathe better.
Our market-leading products, supported by the strong brand we've built and a robust global sales network, have enabled Airthings to double its revenue from 2019 to 2021. In 2022, we entered a more challenging phase with supply chain
disruptions, succeeded by a cyclical downturn through 2023 and changes in purchasing patterns amongst our partners. Despite these challenges, our revenue has still increased slightly in the past few years, and we have revised our strategy to account for these challenges.
We will build stronger direct customer relationships by engaging our customers (both consumers and businesses) with worldclass user experiences. By strengthening our software-first mentality, we will deliver greater value to our users, providing them with added features, while making our products more engaging and improving our users' lives.
The early effects of implementing our updated strategy, Airthings 3.0, show promising results, with year-on-year revenue growth of 6% and three percentage-points higher gross profit margin. We delivered this with 12% lower operating costs, all of which accelerate our path to profitability. Our website also saw 100% growth in sales YoY, supporting the strategy further.
Sustainability continues to be at the heart of what we do and, as CEO, I fully support our commitment to the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Despite Airthings' growth, our total CO2 estimated emissions decreased by 23% from 2022 due to reductions in the products' carbon footprint, logistics, and marketing spend. We remain committed to our goals and will continue to make a difference for people, the planet, and businesses.
Progressing in these areas will help us capitalize on the positive megatrends like health tech, smart homes, sustainability, and energy efficiency. These will generate tailwinds for
Airthings for many years to come. Our long-term growth potential and value drivers remain intact as we work our way further into what is a growing market opportunity worldwide.
Finally, thank you, Øyvind Birkenes, for all your help and, more importantly, for growing the company from a start-up into a global industry leader. Your expertise and dedication to Airthings have truly made a difference in people's everyday lives.
I look forward to continuing this journey with all of you and trust that we will achieve long-term success in empowering the world to breathe better.
All the best,
Emma Tryti CEO, Airthings

Board of Directors Report
Airthings is a global tech company headquartered in Norway and led by a team of experienced scientists, engineers, developers, and visionaries. The mission of Airthings is to educate on and solve air quality and energy conservation issues for consumers, businesses, schools, public institutions, and more. This is done through the creation of patented technology and software that accurately informs and educates users about what's in the air they breathe, purifies their air, and empowers them with the data-driven insights necessary to make smarter decisions for their health and their businesses.
The Company's key revenue generators are individual consumers, businesses, public institutions, and air quality and radon professionals, and correspondingly reports across the three business areas Airthings for Consumer (Consumer), Airthings for Business (AfB), and Airthings for Professionals (Pro).
Airthings is increasingly focused on direct channel sales through airthings.com but also works closely with e-commerce partners, premium retailers, influential commercial B2B partners, home inspectors, real estate agents, and radon professionals. These sales channels collectively contribute to the Company's three business units previously outlined. The key markets in North America and Europe represented 78% and 22%, respectively, of revenue in 2023.
Headquartered 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 conducted a transition to the main Oslo Stock Exchange in June 2022.
Key developments and future focus
Having shown healthy growth over many years, Airthings faced strong macro headwinds through 2022 and 2023. Higher inflation and rising
interest rates have caused a weaker consumer sentiment and a guarded investment environment where distributors and retailers have reduced inventories.
In response, Airthings has adapted its strategy and approach to enable both scalability and profitability. The new strategy, called Airthings 3.0, builds on a more selective and disciplined go-to-market approach, a sharper focus on unit economics and customer lifetime value, and continued improvements of the software offering to further enhance the value proposition.
The aim of the new strategy is to drive scalable growth to improve- gross margins and revenue growth above operating cost development, and position the Company on a clearer path to profitability. The strategic changes were implemented during the first half of 2023, and the Company saw gradually stronger effects over the three last quarters of the year.
The Board and management of Airthings remain confident in the large global market opportunity and the long-term potential of the business, which is supported by strong and lasting tailwinds from megatrends in health tech, smart homes, energy efficiency, and sustainability and regulations.
Events after the reporting period
RCF — In 1Q 2023 Airthings secured a USD 8 million revolving credit facility (RCF) for a 1-year period with an annual renewal with Danske Bank. In January 2024, Airthings received credit approval for renewal of the RCF subject to documentation and closing procedures which is expected to be completed within March 2024. The size of the new facility will be reduced from USD 8 to 6 million, see note 6.2.
New CEO — Emma Tryti has taken over as CEO as of 4 March 2024. She has been granted 1,500,000 options with a strike price of 2.70.
Financial summary
The consolidated financial statements of the Airthings Group ("the Group") are presented under the IFRS® Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU. The presentation currency of the Group's IFRS figures is USD. The functional currency of the parent company is NOK.
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 revenue and gross profit and reduced the EBITDA loss during 2023, despite a macroeconomic environment that remained challenging and restrained top line growth. Growth in Airthings for Consumer offset the softness in the Airthings for Business and Pro segments.
Income statement
Revenues amounted to USD 36.6 million in 2023, up 3% compared with USD 35.4 million in 2022. The modest revenue growth was primarily driven by increased sales in Airthings for Consumer.
Gross profit ended at USD 22.3 million in 2023, up 6% from USD 21.0 million in the previous year. The gross margin for the full year 2023 was 61%, up 2%-points from 2022. The gross margin improvement mainly reflects margin expansion in Airthings for Business, driven by increased prices, higher share of software revenues, and an increasing share of direct sales.
The EBITDA-loss decreased from USD 11.8 million in 2022 to a loss of USD 6.8 million in 2023. The improvement reflected roll-out of the strategic pivot Airthings 3.0, under which several cost-reducing initiatives were successfully implemented.
Depreciation remained relatively flat at USD 1.5 million in 2023, and the Company incurred no impairments. This compares to depreciation of USD 1.4 million in the prior year, when the Company also incurred an impairment of USD 1.4 related to the acquisition of Airtight in 2020.
The operating loss (EBIT) hence decreased from USD 14.7 million in 2022 to a loss of USD 8.3million in 2023.
Net financial items contributed a positive USD 0.3 million in 2023, compared with a positive USD 1.0 million in 2022. This mainly reflected exchange rate fluctuations between USD and NOK and interest payments on outstanding debt. Interest bearing debt amounted to USD 1.4 million at the end of 2023, whereas the Company had no outstanding debt at the end of 2022.
Net loss before taxes was hence USD 8.0 million in 2023, compared to a net loss before taxes of USD 13.7 million in 2022. Tax income amounted to USD 1.8 million compared to USD 3.1 million in 2022. This generated a net loss of USD 6.3 million in 2023, which compares to a net loss of USD 10.6 million in 2022.
Balance sheet
Airthings Group had total assets of USD 64.7 million at the end of 2023, up from USD 63.7 million at the end of 2022. Current assets amounted to USD 46.1 million (47.2), including cash and cash equivalents of USD 14.6 million (13.3) and inventories of USD 15.3 million (18.7). Non-current assets amounted to USD 18.5 million (16.5), which mainly comprises deferred tax assets, intangible assets, right of use assets, and remaining goodwill related to the Airtight acquisition in 2020.
Airthings Group had total liabilities of USD 14.4 million per December 31, 2023, up from USD 12.8 million at the end of 2022. Total liabilities consisted primarily of lease liabilities, trade payables, contract liabilities, interest bearing debt, and other provisions.
In 2023, Airthings Group increased its share capital by NOK 237 661.00 to NOK 1 977 584.46, allocated across 197 758 446 shares with a nominal value of NOK 0.01 each. The increase reflects a private placement of 23 437 500 shares which generated gross proceeds of NOK 75 000 000, and a smaller share issuance in connection with the employee option program.
Total equity amounted to USD 50.3 million at the end of 2023, corresponding to an equity ratio of 78%. This compares to total equity of USD 50.9 million and an equity ratio of 80% at the end of 2022.
Cash flow statement
Airthings Group's cash flow from operating activities was USD -3.4 million in 2023, marking a significant improvement from USD -22.2 million in 2022. The operating cash flow was mainly driven by losses before tax of USD 8.0 million (-13.7), partly offset by positive net working capital adjustments of USD 3.1 million (-10.7). Inventories declined by USD 3.4 million during 2023, compared to an increase of USD 7.3 million in 2022, and reflect the strategic focus on reducing days of inventory and the overall working capital exposure.
Total cash flow from investments was USD -1.4 million in 2023, compared to USD -2.2 million in 2022, mainly driven by capitalized development expenditures of USD 1.7 million.
Cash flow from financing was USD 7.5 million in 2023 (-0.6), primarily composed of proceeds from equity issuances of USD 7.1 million and proceeds from debt of USD 1.3 million, partly offset by payments on lease liabilities. Net foreign exchange differences resulted in a cash flow of USD -1.5 million over 2023 (-3.9). Cash and cash equivalents hence increased to USD 14.6 million at year-end 2023, up from USD 13.3 million at the end of 2022.
Allocation of net profit
The consolidated accounting loss for 2023 was USD 6.3 million, with the proposed allocation of the net profit for the year shown in the Annual Financial Statement.
PARENT COMPANY ACCOUNTS
(Figures for 2022 in brackets)
The annual accounts for the parent company Airthings ASA have been prepared according to Norwegian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (NGAAP). The functional currency of the parent company is NOK.
Airthings ASA's revenue from sales amounted to NOK 358.0 million (319.7). Gross profit was NOK
208.8 million in 2023 (177.5). Operating expenses amounted to NOK 300.1 million (306.9), and loss before tax was NOK 104.4 million (141.8-). Tax income was NOK 21.0 million in 2023 (30.3), generating a net loss of NOK 77.9 million (-111.5).
Total assets amounted to NOK 604.8 million at year-end 2023 (585.4), whereof current assets represented NOK 416.7 million (404.1). Total equity was NOK 499.5 million per December 31, 2023 (502.0).
Current liabilities was NOK 90.2 million per year-end 2023 (82.2), whereas the parent company had long term liabilities of NOK 15.1 million (1.2) mainly related a growth loan from Innovation Norway.
Net cash flow from operating activities was negative NOK 52.4 million (-225.5), and net cash flow from investing activities negative NOK 18.7 million (-20.9). Net cash flow from financing activities was positive NOK 85.8 million (3.0) mainly due to the private placement of NOK 72.4 million in 1Q 2023 and the growth loan from Innovation Norway. Cash and cash equivalents in the parent company hence declined to NOK 131.3 million per December 31, 2023 (116.5).
RISKS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
The Group is exposed to a range of risks affecting its financial performance, including but not limited to liquidity risk, credit risk, and market risks relating to changes in interest rates and foreign currency exposure. The Group seeks to minimize the potential adverse effects of such risks through sound business practices, prudent 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 risk 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 cash balances and working capital exposure, as well as production commitments to main contract manufacturers. The Group has intensified its focus on optimizing business operations, reducing current and incoming inventories and collecting overdue receivables.
The Group raised NOK 75.0 million in gross proceeds through a private placement of 23,437,500 shares in February 2023. In addition, the Group secured funding from Innovation Norway in the form of a NOK 17.0 million grant and a loan of NOK 24.0 million. NOK 5.1 million of the grant and NOK 14.0 million of the loan were paid out to the Group in 2Q 2023.
The Group's cash position was USD 14.6 million on 31 December 2023. The Company also has access to liquidity through a revolving credit facility (RCF) with Danske Bank. This was initially entered for USD 8 million in 1Q 23 and renewed for USD 6 million in 1Q 24. The reduction reflects the overall improved working capital situation (see note 6.2).
It is the Board of Directors assessment that the Company's operational plans are expected to be fully funded through to break-even, and the liquidity risk is considered to be at a reasonable level.
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 generally low in the Consumer segment, where the vast majority of sales are made to well-established and creditworthy third parties or sold directly with immediate payment. Although somewhat higher, the credit risk is still deemed to be generally low also in the Airthings for Business segment, for the same reasons. The Group has close and ongoing relationships with its business customers and receivable balances are monitored on a continuous basis.
It is Group policy that all customers wishing to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures, including an assessment of credit rating, short-term liquidity, and financial position. Exceptions to the Group's standard credit terms must be approved by the Airthings finance department.
The Group's exposure to losses has historically been low. However, increased activity outside the US and home markets may expose Airthings to different credit risk environments. The Board of Directors deems the credit risk to be at an acceptable level given the current scope of operations 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 smaller portion incurred in EUR, NOK, CAD and GBP. 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 does employ natural hedges, e.g. retaining revenues in USD to make payments to suppliers with USD as the contract currency, to the extent possible and 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. The Group had USD 1.4 million in interest bearing debt at the end 2023, and the Board of Directors considers the risk associated with interest rate fluctuations to be low.
Customer concentration
Customer concentration risk is the risk that a significant portion of the company's revenue is derived from a small number of customers or partners, which can pose risk to the stability and growth of the business. The Group has some major customers accounting for a significant share of the income. As a mitigating action, the Group has worked to build out its direct channel in the Consumer segment, as well as working more direct with end customers in the Business segment.
Other risks
Geopolitical risks — the ongoing war in the Ukraine does not impact the Group directly, as it has no operating presence in either Russia, Belarus or Ukraine. However, indirect effects such as general economic market conditions, financial market volatility, sanctions-related knock-on effects or other future responses of international governments, might have an impact on the Group's financial results and financial position. Similarly, the ongoing war in Israel/Gaza is not currently impacting the Group, although the Group has a very limited exposure through a contract manufacturer near Tel Aviv in Israel. The Group's management continuously monitors these situations and assesses the potential impact on the Group's financial results and financial position.
Climate risk — the Group has considered the impact of climate risks when preparing the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023. We have especially considered how our current valuation of assets and liabilities may be impacted by risks related to climate and weather change, waste management, manufacturing, material and sourcing risk and water consumption and innovation for a circular economy, as well as our plans to mitigate those risk factors. Especially, the Group's climate change risk analysis has identified the following:
- Higher energy price fluctuations might affect the Group's manufacturing costs in the short run
- More extreme weather might affect infrastructure, manufacturing/operations, logistics and component scarcity both in the shorter and longer run
- Potential future regulation related to improved battery usage and waste management might lead to changes in product development and manufacturing, potentially increasing manufacturing expenses in the long run

We do not believe that there is a material impact on the financial reporting judgments and estimates arising from our considerations. The valuations of our assets or liabilities have not been significantly impacted by these risks as at 31 December 2023.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Airthings strives to adhere to the Code of Practice for Corporate Governance published by the Norwegian Corporate Governance Board (NUES) on 14 October 2021. A separate section of this annual report provides details on Airthings' compliance to each of the corporate governance principles as outlined in the Code.
SUSTAINABILITY AND CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Airthings is deeply dedicated to sustainability, working continuously to improve environmental,

social, and governance practices. With a new strategy and management in place, the sustainability KPIs presented in previous reports will be updated during 2024.
For planet
In 2023, Airthings for Business' online devices in the field increased by 36% from 2022. In combination with energy consumption reduction services provided through the corresponding software solution, this contributed to estimated saving >13.5k tCO2e for our customers. During 2023, Airthings' energy efficiency toolkit was expanded to include space occupancy/presence and ventilation rate. These features help facility managers determine the optimal settings of the ventilation system, ensuring a balance between energy savings and a healthy environment for occupants. In May 2023, Airthings received a grant and a loan from Innovation Norway to further develop this energy efficiency toolkit. The project will further accelerate the work on providing insights into energy usage in buildings and how to reduce energy consumption.
Despite growth in revenue, total CO2e emissions (scope 1, 2 and 3) decreased significantly from a total of 8.071 tCO2e in 2022 to 6.238 tCO2e
in 2023. The main reasons for the reduction were cost reductions, specifically in use of consultants and in marketing costs, as well as more streamlined and efficient downstream transportation. Over 99% of Airthings' emissions fell under scope 3 in 2023. Notably, Airthings boasts zero direct scope-1 emissions, and has scope-2 emissions of 14.7 tCO2e in 2023 (14.5 tCO2e in 2022). The minor increase was due to a 0.15% increase in total energy consumption (Fort Worth, Stockholm and Oslo).
All Airthings' contract manufacturers comply with ISO14001 for Environmental Management Systems. During 2023, Airthings added one additional manufacturer, and before finalizing the agreement, a thorough ESG analysis was conducted. In 2024, the goal is to establish waste and water consumption targets with Airthings' main manufacturer.
For people
By the end of 2023, Airthings has reached >4.5 million people through its educational resources. Our goal is to raise awareness about radon, clean air at home, and ways to improve the quality of living by enhancing indoor air quality.
Airthings prioritizes employee well-being and community welfare, demonstrated by the establishment of a Human Rights: Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion Code of Conduct and a public grievance mechanism. The goal is to maintain high labor practice standards and foster diversity and inclusion. There was 1 issue reported during 2023 relating to diversity and inclusion. This issue was handled and closed in early 2024.
At the end of 2023, Airthings employed 129 employees from over 35 nationalities, with females accounting for 30% of FTEs. Airthings is actively working towards achieving balanced gender representation. Our goal is to achieve a gender ratio of >40% women across all levels and departments, ensuring equal career opportunities for everyone. Our leadership team currently maintains a 50-50 gender balance, and women hold 45% of our managerial positions. There is currently a 10% salary gap between female and male managers, which the company is working to address. More information and equality statements can be found at www.airthings.com.
Absence due to sickness amounted to 2.6% in 2023, compared to 1.4% in 2022. In 2023, employees reported lower levels of satisfaction with the working environment, with an average employee Net Promoter Score (eNPS) of 5 in 2023 compared to 40 in 2022. A corrective action plan will be implemented in 2024. There was 1 HSE incident reported during 2023, the same number as in 2022. The incident did not lead to any permanent injuries. During 2023, special attention was given to improving HSE guidelines for the R&D lab and better equipping it with fire extinguishers for specific fire hazards like electrical and lithium battery fires.
The Board of Directors, consists of 2 men, 2 women, and 2 employee representatives (1 man and 1 woman). Airthings ASA and subsidiaries are covered by Directors and Officers liability insurance. The insurance indemnifies directors and officers for defense costs and potential legal liability arising out of claims made against them
while serving on a board of directors and or as an officer. The insurance policy is issued by a reputable, specialized insurer with appropriate rating.
During 2023, Airthings has done a thorough evaluation of potential risks to human rights and decent working conditions, as outlined by the Transparency Act report published in June 2023. Suppliers were classified as high, medium or low risk using factors such as the Civil Liberties Index, Human Rights Watch Report, OHCHR Report, Environmental Performance Index (EPI), and corruption country level. High-risk suppliers and main manufacturers undergo a rigorous due diligence process. Currently, 68% of High-risk important suppliers have signed Airthings Code of Conduct. Additionally, discussions are ongoing with Airthings' contract manufacturer in Israel, to assess the situation in their factory. Further details on supplier assessments can be found in our upcoming Transparency Act Report 2023, which will be published on https://www.airthings. com/sustainability in Q2 2024.
Our business governance
The Company is committed to transparent and ethical business practices, supported by policies and procedures against bribery and corruption. In 2023, specific focus was given to the implementation of and compliance with Airthings' procurement policies. No instances of unethical practices were reported in 2023.
Airthings did not experience any data breaches or successful cyber-attacks in 2023, nor any significant disturbances in operations. In January 2023, Airthings' ISMS (Information Security Information System) was audited according to ISO27001, and in December 2023 the Company passed the first surveillance audit without any negative observations. Airthings trains its employees in a range of ESG topics such as human rights, anti-bribery and anti-corruption practises and security awareness. All trainings have >95% completion rate among full-time employees.
Airthings is strongly committed to community engagement. In collaboration with One Tree Planted, we planted 256 trees in a dedicated campaign in response to British Columbia wildfires. Our involvement extends to chess, where we have sponsored tournaments on chess.com, promoting both the game and indoor air quality awareness. We proudly support the American Lung Association, contributing to their impactful work. Additionally, we actively participate in community development through laptop donations to Hånd i hånd Uganda, making a positive impact on education and technology access.

OUTLOOK
Airthings remains resolute in its mission to empower people to breathe better and to address the negative health effects from poor indoor air quality and the cost and environmental effects of inefficient energy consumption in buildings. The Company is recognized as a global category leader in indoor air quality and the clarity provided from Airthings' solutions is pushing the industry forward. The market opportunity is significant and supported by lasting tailwinds from megatrends in health tech, smart homes, energy efficiency, and sustainability and regulations. Airthings is uniquely positioned to capture this market and apply its leadership to drive awareness and deliver actionable insights to households and businesses.
Airthings is increasingly seeing results of its strategic pivot to a selective go-to-market strategy, a holistic product focus, and an improved operating model. The Company reported both revenue growth, improved gross margins, reduced operating costs, and reduced inventories in 2023, and the key focus for 2024 is to continue growing with improved profitability and lower working capital exposure.
Further reductions of inventory levels will be a source of capital going forward, and with a lower cash burn the Company's operational plans are expected to be fully funded through to break-even.
Revenue growth is expected to be supported by new product launches in both Airthings for Business and the Consumer segment, as well as by increased prices for both hardware and software services. Combined with the sharpened cost and margin focus this ensures that Airthings is on a clearer and faster path to profitability.
The Board and management remain confident in the large global market opportunity and the long-term potential for Airthings.
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.

Section 1 — General information and accounting policies
1.1 Corporate information
Airthings ASA ('the Company') is a publicly listed company on Oslo Stock Exchange, with the ticker symbol AIRX. Airthings ASA is incorporated and domiciled in Norway with principal offices located at Wergelandsveien 7, 0167 Oslo, Norway.
Airthings and its subsidiaries (collectively "the Group", or "Airthings") develop and produces solutions for monitoring indoor air quality, radon, and energy efficiency. The Group sells its products and solutions to consumers and businesses around the world.
The consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2023 were authorized for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors on 19 March 2024.
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 IFRS® Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, the Company has no assets or liabilities valued at fair value. All figures are presented in USD thousands (1,000), except when otherwise stated.
The consolidated financial statements provide comparative information in respect of the previous period. Further, the consolidated financial statements are prepared based on the going concern assumption.
Presentation currency and functional currency
The consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollar ("USD"). Airthings ASA has Norwegian krone ("NOK") as its functional currency and its subsidiaries have SEK or USD as their functional currencies. The Group presents its consolidated financial statements in USD to provide the primary users of the financial statements with more convenient information.
Climate risk
The Group has considered the impact of climate risks when preparing the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023. We have especially considered how our current valuation of assets and liabilities may be impacted by risks related to climate and weather change, waste management, manufacturing, material and sourcing risk and water consumption and innovation for a circular economy, as well as our plans to mitigate those risk factors. Especially, the Group's climate change risk analysis has identified the following:
- Higher energy price fluctuations might affect the Group's manufacturing costs in the short run
- More extreme weather might affect infrastructure, manufacturing/operations, logistics and component scarcity both in the shorter and longer run
- Potential future regulation related to improved battery usage and waste management might lead to changes in product development and manufacturing, potentially increasing manufacturing expenses in the long run
We do however not believe that there is a material impact on the financial reporting judgments and estimates arising from our considerations and as a result the valuations of our assets or liabilities have not been significantly impacted by these risks as at 31 December 2023.
In coming to this conclusion we have reviewed each line item in the statement of financial position and identified those line items that could have the potential to be significantly impacted by climate-related risks and our plans to mitigate against these risks. Those line items that have the potential to be significantly impacted are those taken into consideration forward looking information. Those items have then been reviewed in detail to confirm:
- That the growth rates and projected cash flows used in our goodwill impairment assessments and for considerations related to recognition of deferred tax assets are consistent with our climate related risk assumptions
- Useful life of our intangible assets are appropriate given the risk of future regulation and change in consumer behaviour potentially requiring us to change our development processes
- That the assumptions used when considering impairment of our inventories take into consideration our climate related risk assessments
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:
Statement of cash flows
The consolidated statement of cash flows is prepared using the indirect method.
New and amended standards adopted by the Group
The Group applied for the first time certain amendments to standards, which are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023. The amended standards that applied for the first time in 2023 did not have any material impact on the consolidated financial statements of 2023, except for:
Disclosure of Accounting Policies - Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2
In February 2021, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2 Making Materiality Judgments, in which it provides guidance and examples to help entities apply materiality judgments to accounting policy disclosures. The amendments aim to help entities provide accounting policy disclosures that are more useful by replacing the requirement for entities to disclose their 'significant' accounting policies with a requirement to disclose their 'material' accounting policies and adding guidance on how entities apply the concept of materiality in making decisions about accounting policy disclosures. The amendments to IAS 1 are effective for these consolidated financial statements beginning on 1 January 2023.
The Group has not made any voluntary accounting policy changes in 2023.
Standards issued but not yet effective
The Group has not early adopted any accounting standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective. The Group intends to adopt new and amended standards and interpretations, if relevant, when they become effective.
The Group does not expect any significant effects related to upcoming standards and amendments. The Group is currently revisiting their accounting policy information disclosures to ensure consistency with the amended requirements.
1.4 Significant accounting judgments, 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:
- Recognition and measurement of deferred tax assets (note 2.8)
- Value of inventory (note 3.1)
- 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 judgments:
• Determination of CGUs (note 5.2)
Section 2 — Operating segments and profit or loss items
2.1 Operating segments
For management purposes, the Group is organized into business areas based on its different markets and has three reportable segments, as follows:
- Consumer sale of air quality sensors to private customers through retailers and e-commerce.
- Business sale of air quality solutions to schools, office buildings, and other commercial buildings.
- Professional sale of 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.
No operating segments have been aggregated to form the above reportable operating segments.
Segment performance is evaluated by the Board of Directors based on EBITDA and is measured consistently with operating profit or loss before depreciation and amortization as reported under IFRS. 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
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 Group previously reported direct marketing activities, such as performance marketing and channel marketing, as "Group functions" in 2022. These costs have been attributed to each segment from 2023 create a more correct picture of the individual segment performance and explain the increase seen in Consumer's "Other operating expenses".
Assets and liabilities by reporting segment is not included in management reporting and is therefore not disclosed separately within the operating segments.

Major customers
In 2023 the largest customer of the Group accounted for 34% (2022: 23%) of consolidated revenues, mainly allocated to the consumer segment. The second largest customer accounted for 13% of consolidated revenues in 2023 (2022: 11%), also mainly allocated to
the consumer segment. The Group does not have any other customers that represents more than 10% of the Group's revenue.
Geographical disaggregation
Reference is made to note 2.2 Revenue for information on the Group's geographical markets.
| Non-current operating assets (USD 1,000) | 2023 | 2022 |
|---|---|---|
| Located in Norway | 6,251 | 5,883 |
| Located in foreign countries | 517 | 546 |
| Total | 6,768 | 6,429 |
Non-current assets for this purpose consist of property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets, and intangible assets.
2.2 Revenue
Airthings is a manufacturer of air quality sensors and related software products for air quality, radon measurement and energy efficiency solutions. The Group's revenue from contracts with customers is reported in three main segments as described in note 2.1: Consumer, Business and Professional.
To the private customer, Airthings is selling sensors for monitoring air quality and radon in private homes, through distributors/resellers and Airthings.com.
Airthings for Business is the Group's B2B segment, selling solutions to schools, office buildings, and other commercial buildings. For the business segment, the Customer can choose to buy an extensively more advanced software (a SaaS – solution) than the one offered to consumers. Airthings provides significant support and upgrades through the cloud-based SaaS subscription. If the customer decides to cancel their subscription after the initial contract term, they will still keep their device and can continue to use them without the software. The customer may also reorder the subscription at a later stage.
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Identifying Performance obligation
In the consumer segment, sales generally consist of the provision of air quality monitors with additional apps that can be downloaded for free, providing display features etc. Such arrangements are generally regarded as two performance obligations; i.e. the air quality monitor and the software/app. However, the relative stand-alone selling price for the app is considered insignificant, and revenue is only allocated to the sale of air quality monitors.
Within the business segment, revenue is generally considered to consist of two performance obligations: sale of devices (hardware) and sale of SaaS-services. The revenue is allocated based on the relative stand-alone selling prices.
Revenue streams
Sale of air quality sensors
Some of the Group's contracts for the sale of air quality sensors are with distributors/resellers which are not the end-users. The distributors control the goods before these are sold to the end-customer, i.e., the distributors act as principals. As such, the Group recognizes revenue from sale of air quality sensors to the distributors on a gross basis upon delivery to the distributors. The payment terms normally range from 30 to 90 days.
Revenue from sale of air quality sensors through Airthings.com is recognized when the sensor is delivered to the customer.
Consideration payable to a customer
Consideration payable to a customer includes cash amounts that the Group pays, or expects to pay, to a customer. The Group's contracts involve in certain cases consideration payable to distributors related to various services. This includes marketing initiatives (such as in-store promotions and sponsored links to products) campaigns (sale of air quality sensors at a reduced price to end customers during a promotional period), and damage allowance (consideration to cover the distributor's returns and disposals from the end customers) among others. The consideration for marketing initiatives and campaigns is accounted for as a reduction of the transaction price and is recognized at the same time as the revenue from sale of the related air quality sensors. Damage allowance, corresponding to actual estimated normal assurance type warranty costs of own products, are accounted for as operating expenses, as long as the cost/provision can be reasonably estimated. In addition, arrangements where the Group obtains distinct services from distributor that are independent of the Group's sales to the distributor on the other hand, such as specific marketing services and other vendor services, are accounted for as operating expenses in line with
the regular purchase of services.
The consideration is estimated when the sale occurs (based on the expected value of sales to the customer) and recognized as other liabilities (refer to note 3.5).
Sale of Software as a service ("SaaS")
Many of the Group's air quality sensors have a SaaS/an app availability. In the business segment, the air quality sensor is linked to a SaaS subscription which is paid upfront. In addition to connecting the devices together and providing significant features of tracking and comparing the air quality in the building, the Group also provides significant support and upgrades throughout the subscription period. The prepaid annual subscription fee is recognized on a straight-line basis over the subscription period to reflect the transfer of control to the customer.
Contract liabilities
Contract liabilities mainly relate to remuneration received in advance for SaaS subscriptions. Refer to note 3.3 for further description of the Group's contract liabilities.
Sale of calibration services
Revenue from sale of calibration services in the professional market is recognized at a fixed price when the service is performed.
Rental income
Rental income is derived from rental of equipment, such as Corentium Pro, in the professional segment. Rental income is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is presented as 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) | 2023 | 2022 |
|---|---|---|

2.3 Employee benefit expenses
Employee benefit expenses comprise all types of remuneration to personnel employed by the Group and are expensed when earned. Ordinary salary can be both fixed pay and hourly wages and is earned and paid periodically. Holiday pay is earned on the basis of ordinary pay and is normally paid in the holiday months of the following year. The employer's national insurance contribution (social security) is calculated and expensed for all payroll related costs including pensions. Pensions contributions are earned on a monthly basis. Share-based payment expenses are related to the Group's share option program (see note 6.8). For information
on remuneration to Management and the Board of Directors, including disclosures on shares and share options held, see note 7.1.
Pensions
The Group 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").
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.

2.8 Income tax
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 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.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
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.
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 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.
As at 31 December 2023, the Group had USD 38.0 million of tax losses carried forward in
the parent company (31 December 2022: USD 30.6 million), which have been fully recognized as deferred tax assets in the consolidated financial statements as the Group considers it to be probable that these taxable losses may be utilized in the future.
When assessing the probability of utilizing these losses, the Group considers factors such as:
Positive evidence
- Historical tax losses are mainly related to a desired expansion strategy and significant expenses related to research and development. In response, Airthings adapted its strategy and approach to enable both scalability and profitability. The new strategy, called Airthings 3.0, builds on a more selective and disciplined go-to-market approach, a sharper focus on unit economics and customer lifetime value, and continued improvements of the software offering to further enhance the value proposition. The aim of the strategy is to drive scalable growth from improved gross margins and revenue growth above operating cost development, and shortening the path to profitability. The strategic changes were implemented during the first half of 2023, and the Company saw gradually stronger effects over the three last quarters of the year.
- Based on board-approved budgets and forecasts for the period 2024-2027, Airthings expects to utilize a significant portion of the loss carryforward by 2027. A reduction of 5% in budgeted and forecasted accumulated EBIT for the period 2024-2027 would have led to a partial impairment of deferred tax assets in 2023.
Negative evidence
- Airthings ASA currently has a net deferred tax asset and lacks sufficient taxable temporary differences against which it can be utilized.
- Airthings ASA is the only Norwegian company in the Group, with limited opportunities for tax planning such as Group contributions.
Overall, the Group has as of 31 December 2023 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 concluded not to recognize 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 8.4 million as at 31 December 2023.

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 t he Group. The effect from the statutory income tax rates from other countries (Sweden and the
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 is 22.07% for 31.12.2023 and 21.65% for 31.12.2022.
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) | 2023 | 2022 |
|---|---|---|
| Profit or loss before tax | -8,030 | -13,697 |
| Tax expense 22% (Norwegian tax rate) | -1,767 | -3,013 |

* The permanent differences are related to SkatteFUNN, options and other non-deductible costs among the Group's entities.
Section 3 — Other operating activities
3.1 Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Inventory costs comprise cost of goods sold, impairment, and obsolete goods.
- Sensors and components: Sensors and other critical items that are utilized in production. Purchase cost on a first-in/first-out basis (FIFO)
- Finished goods: Stock keeping units that are sold to customers. Includes cost of direct materials, direct wages, packaging and a proportion of manufacturing overheads based on the normal operating capacity.
| Inventories (USD 1,000) | 31.12.2023 | 31.12.2022 |
|---|---|---|
| Finished goods | 8,737 | 12,637 |
| Sensors and components | 6,583 | 6,076 |
| Total inventories at the lower of cost and net realizable value | 15,320 | 18,713 |
In 2023, there was a partial write-down of USD 31 thousands related to finished goods. In 2022, there was a write down of finished goods of USD 223 thousands related to the de-recognition of the Airtight technology. There were no reversal of write-down of components or finished goods in the periods presented.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
Value of inventories
The valuation of inventory at net realisable value involves judgment made by management. The inventory is reviewed periodically to secure that the book value of stock is greater than its net realisable value. Write-downs are made for obsolete items based on assessment of the age distribution of inventory items and whether the items are part of an active or expired product range.
3.2 Trade and other receivables
Trade and other receivables
The Group's trade receivables consist solely of amounts receivable from revenue contracts with customers. Other receivables consist mainly of prepaid expenses and government grant receivables. Trade and other receivables are financial assets initially recognized at fair value and subsequently at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.
Expected credit losses
The Group recognizes an allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) for its financial assets 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 uses a provision matrix to calculate ECLs for trade receivables. 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. The provision matrix is initially based on the Group's
historical observed default rates. The matrix will be calibrated to adjust the historical credit loss experience with forward-looking information.
| Trade receivables (USD 1,000) | 31.12.2023 | 31.12.2022 |
|---|---|---|
| Trade receivables from customers at nominal value | 11,611 | 11,369 |

USD 4.2 million of trade receivables are due hence the risk is minimized through close connection with the Group's largest customers and they also have high credit score. For details regarding the Group's procedures in managing credit risk, see note 6.4.
3.3 Contract liabilities
The Group's contract liabilities relate to prepayments for SaaS subscriptions which are normally paid 12 months in advance. As such, the balance of account at the end of the year represents the Group's deferred revenue related to performance obligations that will be satisfied within one year. The Group's contract liabilities are presented in the table below:
| Contract liabilities (USD 1,000) | 31.12.2023 | 31.12.2022 |

| Total trade and other payables | 6,526 | 6,177 |
3.5 Other liabilities
The Group classifies other liabilities in the following categories:
- Salary related costs: contains other liabilities for accrued bonuses and other salary related accruals.
- Social security for share-based payments: contains other liabilities for the accrued social security on share options and restrictive share units which will be paid when the options are exercised. 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.
- Consideration payable to a customer: contains other liabilities for accrued consideration to a customer.
- Liabilities on government grants: contains other liabilities related to government grant from Innovation Norway that has not yet been earned.

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 2023. The subsidiaries are consolidated when control is achieved as defined by IFRS 10. 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 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% |
Section 5 - Non-current assets
5.1 Intangible assets
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Intangible assets acquired
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured at cost on initial recognition. 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 are recognized as an intangible asset when the Group can demonstrate the technical feasibility, intention, ability, and resources to complete and utilize the asset, as well as the generation of future economic benefits and reliable measurement of the expenditure during development.
Useful lives and subsequent measurement
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives (goodwill) are measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Those with finite useful lives are amortized over their economic life and tested for impairment when indicators arise. The amortization period for capitalized development costs will be set as 3 or 5 years. In general, the more customerfacing a platform or product is, the shorter the useful life of the asset is expected to be. If an asset is planned to be replaced or retired before the end of the depreciation period, a formal management decision is conducted to adjust the useful life and accelerate amortization.
Changes in the expected useful life are treated as accounting estimate changes.

Additions
Additions in 2022 and 2023 relates mainly to capitalized development costs. These assets are under development per 31 December 2023. When the asset is released, it will be classified as software & systems or technology. USD 266 thousand has been released in 2023.
5.2 Goodwill & impairment considerations
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.
Impairment considerations
Goodwill is tested for impairment 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 the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized. Impairment losses relating to goodwill cannot be reversed in future periods.
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.
| Goodwill (USD 1,000) | |
|---|---|
| Gross amount as at 1 January 2022 | 3,210 |
| Currency translation effects | -338 |

| Carrying amount as at 31 December 2022 | 2,872 |
| Carrying amount as at 31 December 2023 | 2,783 |
All of the Group's goodwill is allocated to the Business segment CGU.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS
Business segment – CGU
For impairment testing, goodwill acquired through the business combination of Airtight was allocated to the business segment CGU. 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 is based on trends in the industry and the Group's market share. The growth forecast is based on management's expectations of future conditions in the markets, and has been determined as
part of the yearly budget process. Macro trends such as the increasing awareness of Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) and heightened focus on energy costs and sustainability are anticipated to intensify in the years ahead. Management also expects Airthings' market position to remain largely constant. Given these factors, management has performed both a bottoms-up and top-down forecasting of growth in Airthings for Business and 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. This, combined with an assumption of a larger share of revenues coming from software subscription, as well as operational improvements, results in an improved EBITDA margin than has been experienced historically.
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:
| CGU | Revenue growth in the forecast period* |
EBITDA margin |
Terminal growth rate |
Pre-tax dis count rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Business CGU - 31 December 2023 | 40.1 % | 13.50% | 2.0 % | 14.7 % |
\*Revenue growth rate is based on a compound annual growth rate (CAGR)
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.
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. 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.
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
Group as a lessee
At the commencement date of a lease, the Group recognizes a lease liability and corresponding right-of-use asset in the balance sheet, 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.
The Group as a lessor
The Group acts as a lessor through the professional segment through the rental of equipment such as Corentium Pro. These are primarily short-term operating leases where the Group retains substantially all the risks
and rewards incidental to ownership of the asset. Initial direct costs related to operating leases are included in the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized over the lease term in line with 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's leases are mainly related to office space in Oslo and Bergen, Norway. Additionally, the Group leases office space in Stockholm, Sweden and Fort Worth, Texas, USA. Leases of office space generally have lease terms between 2 and 4 years. The Group's right-of-use assets recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position are presented in the table below:

Section 6 — Financial instruments and equity
6.1 Overview of financial instruments
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Group's financial instruments are grouped in the following categories:
Financial Assets
The Group's financial assets mainly comprise trade receivables and cash and cash equivalents.
Reference is made to note 3.2 for information about the Group's policies related to estimating expected credit losses.
Financial Liabilities

6.2 Interest-bearing debt
Revolving credit facility
In 1Q 2023 Airthings secured a USD 8 million revolving credit facility (RCF) for a 1-year period with an annual renewal with Danske Bank. In January 2024, Airthings received credit approval for renewal of the RCF subject to documentation and closing procedures which is expected to be within March 2024. The size of the new facility will be reduced from USD 8 to 6 million. As of 31 December 2023, USD 0.0 million of the facility was utilized. The RCF has a tenor of 12 months and falls due in March 2024. When the facility is utilized, it will be classified as short-term interestbearing debt in the financial statements.

6.4 Financial risk management
Overview
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 and risk management.
Market risk
Financial instruments affected by market risk include interest-bearing debt, cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, lease liabilities and trade and other payables.
Interest rate risk
The Group's exposure to the risk of changes in interest rates relates primarily to the growth loan from Innovation Norway. The Group has no other interest-bearing debt, and management therefore considers the interest rate risk to be low.
Foreign currency risk
The Group's exposure to the risk of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to it's operating activities (trade receivables, cash and trade payables denominated in a foreign currency). A significant part of revenues is denominated in USD, with a small portion incurred in NOK, EUR, CAD and GBP. Most of its operating expenses are incurred in NOK. The Group does not currently hedge currency exposure with the use of financial instruments but monitors the net exposure over time.
Geopolitical risks
War in Ukraine — the ongoing war does not currently impact the Group directly, as it has no operating presence in either Russia, Belarus or Ukraine. Indirect effects however, such as financial market volatility, sanctions related knock-on effects, general economic market conditions and other future responses of international governments, might have an impact on the Group's financial results and financial position. The Group's management continues to monitor the situation and has an ongoing assessment of potential impact on the Group's financial results and financial position.
War in Israel/Gaza – the ongoing war in Israel/ Gaza is not currently impacting the Group, despite the Group having limited production in Israel. The Group's contract manufacturer for one product is located near Tel Aviv and therefore not in direct
proximity to the ongoing armed conflict. The Group's exposure is very limited, but management continues to monitor the situation and has an ongoing assessment of potential impact on the Group's financial results and financial position.
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 holding all other variables constant:
| Foreign currency sensitivity | Date | Change in FX rate |
Effect on profit before tax with +10% (USD 1,000) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Increase / decrease in NOK/USD | 31.12.2023 | +/- 10% | 1,234 |
| Increase / decrease in NOK/USD | 31.12.2022 | +/- 10% | 820 |
| Foreign currency sensitivity | Date | Change in FX rate |
Effect on profit before tax with +10% (USD 1,000) |
| Increase / decrease in NOK/CAD | 31.12.2023 | +/- 10% | 215 |
| Increase / decrease in NOK/CAD | 31.12.2022 | +/- 10% | 152 |
| Foreign currency sensitivity | Date | Change in FX rate |
Effect on profit before tax with +10% (USD 1,000) |
| Increase / decrease in NOK/EUR | 31.12.2023 | +/- 10% | 296 |
| Increase / decrease in NOK/EUR | 31.12.2022 | +/- 10% | 160 |
| Foreign currency sensitivity | Date | Change in FX rate |
Effect on profit before tax with +10% (USD 1,000) |
| Increase / decrease in NOK/GBP | 31.12.2023 | +/- 10% | 95 |
| Increase / decrease in NOK/GBP | 31.12.2022 | +/- 10% | 48 |
*The Group has no financial instruments through OCI and hence the effects on equity are zero.
Credit risk
The Group is mainly exposed to credit risk from its operating activities. The risk is minimized through close connection with the Group's largest customers and monitoring of receivable balances on an ongoing basis. The Group's losses have historically been low. However, the increased operations of the Group outside the US and home market exposes the Group 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.
Reference is made to note 3.2 for an overview of the ageing of trade receivables and a description of the expected credit losses recognized.
Liquidity risk
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's cash position has weakened since 2021. To improve the cash situation the Group
has intensified its focus on optimizing business operations and reducing inventories. This effort includes promotional activities to increase sales and along with cost-saving initiatives.
To further improve its liquidity position, the Group entered into a USD 8 million revolving credit facility with Danske Bank in 1Q 2023. In January 2024, the Group received credit approval for renewal of the RCF subject to documentation and closing procedures which is expected to be within March 2024. The size of the new facility will be reduced from USD 8 to 6 million, see note 6.2. The Group also raised NOK 75 million in gross proceeds through a private placement of 23,437,500 shares in 1Q 2023. In addition, the Group secured funding from Innovation Norway in the form of a grant NOK 17 million and a loan of NOK 24 million. NOK 5.1 million of the grant and NOK 14 million of the loan were paid out to the Group in 2Q 2023. The liquidity risk is hence considered to be at a reasonable level.
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 interestbearing 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 was assessed to be insignificant.
| Financial liabilities as of 31.12.2023 | Note | Carrying value |
Fair value |
Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Non-current interest-bearing liabilities | 6.2 | 1,376 | 1,376 | x |
6.6 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at banks which is subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Restricted bank deposits comprise of cash for withholding taxes which may not be used for other purposes and restricted deposits in Nordea.
| Cash and cash equivalents (USD 1,000) | 31.12.2023 | 31.12.2022 |
|---|---|---|
| Bank deposits, unrestricted | 13,530 | 11,960 |
| Bank deposits, restricted | 1,023 | 1,314 |
| Total cash and cash equivalents | 14,553 | 13,274 |
Bank deposits earns a low interest at floating rates based on the bank deposit rates.
6.7 Share capital and shareholders information
The Group's share 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 issue new shares or issue debt. The Group monitors capital using an equity ratio, which is 'Total equity' divided by 'Total assets'.

6.8 Share-based payments
Equity-settled transactions
The cost of equity-settled transactions is determined by the fair value at the grant date using the Black-Scholes-Merton Model ("BSM"). The cost is recognized as an employee benefits expense, with a corresponding increase in equity (other capital reserves), over the vesting period. The cumulative expense recognized for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the Group's best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest.
Vesting under the Group's option schemes is subject to employment by the Group (service condition). Service 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. No expense is recognized for awards that do not ultimately vest because service conditions have not been met.
Share option plans — description
Option scheme 2018
Each option grant vest as follows (subject to employment by the Group): 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.
Options scheme 2021 - 2023
Options granted prior to the Annual General Meeting in 2021 vest in tranches over four years. 25% of the options vest one year after the grant date and the remaining 75% of the options vest in monthly tranches over the next 36 months, subject to employment by the Group.

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 2023 and 31 December 2022, respectively:
| 2023 | 2022 | |
|---|---|---|
| Weighted average fair values at the measurement date (NOK) | 0.73 | 3.80 |
| Dividend yield (%) | 0% | 0% |
| Expected volatility (%) | 44.3% | 42.5 % |
| Risk–free interest rate (%) | 3.89% | 3.30% |
| Expected life of share options (years) | 2.50 | 2.50 |
| Weighted average share price (NOK) | 2.39 | 4.10 |
| Weighted average exercise price (NOK) | 2.37 | 5.05 |
| 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.
6.9 Earnings per share
The following table reflects the income and share data used in the EPS calculations:
| Profit or loss in USD | 2023 | 2022 |

| Profit or loss attributable to ordinary equity holders adjusted for the effect of dilution* |
-6,257,752 | -10,565,598 |
| Weighted average number of ordinary shares - for basic EPS | 194,708,073 | 172,826,775 |
| Weighted average number of ordinary shares adjusted for the effect of dilution |
196,862,214 | 177,557,976 |

Section 1 — General information and accounting policies
1.1 Corporate information
Airthings ASA ('the Company') is a publicly listed company on Oslo Stock Exchange, with the ticker symbol AIRX. Airthings ASA is incorporated and domiciled in Norway.
The Company's principal offices are located at Wergelandsveien 7, 0167 Oslo, Norway. The Company´s financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023 were authorized for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors on 19 March 2024.
Airthings has been granted exemption from the Norwegian Tax Authority to publish its Annual Report in English only.
The Company, as used in these financial statements, is the Parent Company under the Consolidated Financial Statements also included in this Annual Report.
1.2 Basis of preparation
Airthings financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Norwegian Accounting Act and generally accepted accounting principles (NGAAP). The functional and presentation currency of the parent company is Norwegian krone ("NOK").
Going Concern
The annual accounts have been prepared based on the going concern assumption in accordance with section 3-3a of the Norwegian Accounting Act. This is based on the Group's plans, budgets and level of activity going forward.
1.3 General accounting principles
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 Company's general accounting 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 realised 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 Company 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.
1.4 Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of accounts in accordance with the Accounting Act requires the use of estimates. It also requires Group management to exercise judgment in applying the Group's accounting policies. The areas where significant judgments and estimates have been made in preparing the financial statements and their effect are disclosed in the notes.
1.5 Revenue
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 decisionmaking 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 is 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 intangible and 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:
- Sensors and components: Sensors and other critical items that are utilized in production. Purchase cost on a first-in/ first-out basis (FIFO)
- Finished goods: Stock keeping units. 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 carryforward 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.

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 and risk management.
Market risk
Financial instruments affected by market risk include interest-bearing debt, cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and trade and other payables.
Interest rate risk
The Company's exposure to the risk of changes in interest rates relates primarily to the growth loan from Innovation Norway. The Company has no other interestbearing debt, and management therefore considers the interest rate risk to be low.
Foreign currency risk
The Company's exposure to the risk of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to it's operating activities (trade receivables, cash and trade payables denominated in a foreign currency). A significant part of revenues is denominated in USD, with a small portion incurred in NOK, EUR, CAD and GBP. Most of its operating expenses are incurred in NOK. The Company does not currently hedge currency exposure with the use of financial instruments but monitors the net exposure over time.
Geopolitical risks
War in Ukraine — the ongoing war does not currently impact the Company directly, as it has no operating presence in either Russia, Belarus or Ukraine. Indirect effects however, such as financial market volatility, sanctions related knock-on effects, general economic market conditions and other future responses of international governments, might have an impact on the Group's financial results and financial position. The Company's management continues to monitor the situation and has an ongoing assessment of potential impact on the Company's financial results and financial position.
War in Israel/Gaza – the ongoing war in Israel/ Gaza is not currently impacting the Company, despite the Company having limited production in Israel. The Company's contract manufacturer for one product is located near Tel Aviv and
therefore not in direct proximity to the ongoing armed conflict. The Company's exposure is very limited, but management continues to monitor the situation and has an ongoing assessment of potential impact on the Company's financial results and financial position.
Credit risk
The Company is mainly exposed to credit risk from its operating activities. The risk is minimized through close connection with the Company's largest customers and monitoring of receivable balances on an ongoing basis. The Company's losses have historically been low. However, the increased operations of the Company's outside the US and home market exposes the Company 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
The Company may potentially encounter difficulties in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities that are settled by provision of cash or another financial asset. The Company supervises its risk by monitoring its working capital, and overdue trade receivables. The Company's cash position has weakened since 2021. To improve the cash situation the Company has intensified its focus on optimizing business operations and reducing inventories. This effort includes promotional activities to increase sales and along with cost-saving initiatives.
To further improve its liquidity position, the Company entered into a USD 8 million revolving credit facility with Danske Bank in 1Q 2023. In January 2024, the Company received credit approval for renewal of the RCF subject to documentation and closing procedures which is expected to be within March 2024. The size of the new facility will be reduced from USD 8 to 6 million. The Company also raised NOK 75 million in gross proceeds through a private placement of 23,437,500 shares in 1Q 2023. In addition, the Company secured funding from Innovation Norway in the form of a grant NOK 17 million and a loan of NOK 24 million. NOK 5.1 million of the grant and NOK 14 million of the loan were paid out to the Company in 2Q 2023. The liquidity risk is hence considered to be at a reasonable level.
6.3 Share capital and shareholders information
The share capital of Airthings ASA as of 31 December 2023 was NOK 1,977,584.46 consisting of 197,758,446 ordinary shares at NOK 0.1 per share. The Company's shares have equal voting rights. For information of shareholder see Note 6.7 the consolidated financial statements.
