Operational review

Airthings reported sales revenue of NOK68.0m in 2Q21, representing a YoY growth of 80%. For 1H21, the sales revenue is up 42% YoY to NOK125.5m. The 2Q21 sales revenue growth was mainly driven by the Consumer segment with strong sales into our existing channels as well as new store roll-outs, and View Plus shipments of pre-orders. Airthings for Business (AfB) grew significantly, and most of the sales came from the partner-network. The Pro segment also experienced strong growth. The solid footprint in the US continues as the geographic revenue split for the quarter was 74% and 26% in the Americas and EMEA regions respectively.

Sales Gross Profit came in at NOK45.6m reflecting a gross profit margin (GPM) of 67.1%, up 1.2%-points YoY, and up 5.5%-points from 1Q21. For 1H21, the sales GPM was 64.5%. The 2Q21 margin expansion is mainly due to higher share of high-margin service revenue from the AfB and Pro segment, as well as product mix, partly offset by higher component prices due to the shortage in the semiconductor market. Airthings is continuously monitoring the component market in order to secure production going forward, and higher component prices are still expected for the remainder of 2021.

ARR came in at NOK16.5m at the end of 2Q, representing a growth of 178% YoY. The growth is primarily driven by the AfB segment which is up >300% YoY.

Brand awareness

Airthings continues to build on a strong global brand, and one of the measures is the traffic to the website. YoY, Unique Web Visitors grew by 54% reaching more than 381 000 in the quarter, and up 94% YoY for 1H. The QoQ decline is mainly due to the launch of View Plus in 1Q21 driving high traffic with significant marketing activities, PR, but also seasonal effects.

Outlook and guidance

Since the launch in March, the backlog for View Plus for Consumer and View Plus for Business have increased significantly. While View Plus started shipping in June, the majority of the orders will be shipped in 3Q21 giving a better revenue visibility for the coming quarter. Global shortage in

semiconductor market is challenging and will affect GPM by about 3% points in 3Q. Priority is to secure supply.

3Q21 sales revenue and ARR are estimated to come in at NOK80-90m and NOK18-23m, respectively. While we reiterate full-year sales revenue, delayed roll-out of Airtight technology is affecting 2H ARR vs our plan. We expect ARR growth to increase further in 2H, but we reduce the ARR guided window for 2021 by 5m to 27m-35m.

Segment overview

Airthings for Consumer

Consumer sales revenue came in at NOK49.8m in the quarter, representing a YoY growth of 69%. During the quarter, Airthings completed a successful Deal of the Day on Amazon, selling more than 5 000 Airthings Home in one day. While sales of Wave Plus have been weaker as many customers have been waiting for View Plus, we still see strong growth in sell-through from e-commerce and retail partners. Furthermore, Wave Mini was rolled out in more than 3 000 CVS stores in addition to 789 Walmart stores across the US during the quarter. As a result, retail store count increased significantly with Airthings products now available in more than 5 500 stores across the globe. 33.9 74.0 68.2% 59.8% 59.5% 66.7% 66.6% 74.0 68.2% 59.8% 59.5% 66.7% 66.6%

2Q21 sales revenue from the PRO segment grew to NOK8.5m, up 45% YoY. The home inspector market was challenging in 2Q as the strong housing market has led to more home buyers skipping the home inspection to secure a fast purchase ahead of competition. However, Airthings was able to keep growing the market share through targeted digital campaigns, and through offering our solutions to a wider part of the market (American Association of Radon Scientists and Technologists (AARST) and National Radon Safety Board (NRSB)). 2Q20 3Q20 4Q20 1Q21 2Q21 2.5 5.9 4.5 4.7 63.2% 74.0 68.2% 59.8% 59.5% 66.7% 66.6% 2Q20 3Q20 4Q20 1Q21 2Q21 5.9 4.5 4.7 81.2% 79.9% 76.8% 74.8% 63.2% 2Q20 3Q20 4Q20 1Q21 2Q21 2.5 4.0 5.3 55.9% 60.4% 56.7% 60.7% 62.5% 9.5 9.7

Airthings - 2Q21

Financial highlights

PROFIT & LOSS

For details related to revenue and gross profit, please see "Operational review" and "Segments".

Operating expenses for the group came in at NOK63.8m in 2Q, up 80% YoY. The increase is driven by personnel growth according to expansion plan, especially within the sales organization. In addition, costs related to marketing, campaigns, and office expansion contributed to growth in other operating expenses during the quarter.

EBITDA came in at negative NOK18.0m in the quarter. The negative result is in accordance with the expansion plan.

Depreciation during 2Q was NOK2.7m, driven by the acquisition of Airtight. Airthings completed a full purchase price allocation (PPA) during the quarter allocating the Airtight price to R&D and Goodwill (note 5).

EBIT came in at negative NOK20.7m in 2Q20.

Net finance was positive NOK1.4m in 2Q where interest income on fix-rate deposit, coupled with FX gain were the main contributors.

BALANCE SHEET

Total assets at the end of 2Q were NOK681.6m, mainly made up of cash and cash equivalents at NOK462.2m. Long-term receivables decreased by NOK2.9m during the quarter (NOK5.5m in 1H) due to share price reduction effect on employer's tax related to employee option program. Inventory increased by NOK7.5m during the

quarter (NOK14.0m in 1H) as component prices have increased coupled with a strategy of securing supply in a pressed semiconductor market. Accounts receivable increased by NOK21.8m in the quarter (NOK2.2m in 1H) driven by a high number of deals closed in June, among them the Amazon pushed order, mentioned in the 1Q21 report.

Total liabilities were NOK71.9m at the end of 2Q. Reduction in other provisions is related to employee option program. Deferred tax liability of NOK2.8m is a result of the PPA related to the Airtight acquisition. Other current liabilities increased as a result of growth in deferred revenue related to subscription service, pre-orders on View Plus, holiday pay, and other accrued expenses during the quarter.

CASH FLOW

Cashflow from operating activities came in at negative NOK34.3m in 2Q mainly driven by a net loss for the quarter coupled with increase in working capital mainly due to securing of inventory coupled with a large share of deals in June increasing accounts receivable.

Cashflow from investment activities was negative NOK1.6m in 2Q driven mainly by production tooling expenses and office equipment.

Cashflow from financing activities was marginal at NOK0.2m in 2Q related to exercising of employee options.

Airthings cash at end of the quarter was NOK462.2m
