Operationalreview

Revenue and margin development

Airthings recorded sales revenue of USD 10.1 million in 3Q22, representing a yearon-year growth of 10% and quarter-onquarter growth of 46%. The increase from 3Q21 was primarily driven by strong growth in Airthings for business, while overall growth was somewhat muted due to lower sales in the Consumer and Pro segments. Furthermore, the growth in Airthings´s overall top line demonstrates the enhanced robustness of the company with Airthings for Business representing a growing share of revenues.

The lower sales in the Consumer segment can largely be attributed to distribution partners remaining cautious about rebuilding inventories following the inventory adjustments made in the second quarter. That said, end-customer demand remains high with Consumer new device registrations increasing 26% year-on-year, and the opportunity pipeline is growing with both existing and new partners.

Gross Profit came in at USD 6.1 million, reflecting a gross profit margin (GPM) of 60%. As previously communicated, the gross profit margin must be expected to fluctuate across quarters due to changes in product and channel mix, component prices, and other factors.

Annual recurring revenue (ARR)

Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) came in at USD 3.4 million in 3Q22, representing solid growth of 66% year-on-year. The increase mainly reflects the strong growth in Airthings for Business, which accounted for USD 2.3 million of ARR at the end of the quarter. Gross margin from ARR revenue was >80% in 3Q22.

Brand awareness

Airthings continued to grow brand awareness in the third quarter evidenced by continued growth in the traffic to www.airthings.com. The site reached 433k unique web visitors in 3Q22, representing year-on-year growth of 21% and year to date growth of 100%. Airthings is driving awareness on the importance of indoor air quality through targeted marketing activities towards consumers and businesses.

This PR approach yielded continued coverage in leading global publications such as The Evening Standard, The Metro, Die Welt, Better Homes & Gardens, Mobil, and Tek.no.

Airthings participated in several high exposure events during the quarter. The company was exhibited at the Internationale Funkausstellung (IFA) in Berlin, the largest consumer electronics tradeshow in the EU, as well as the IFMA World Workplace event in Nashville and the Expo Real in Munich. Participation in these events increased brand awareness and served as a lead generator for Airthings for Business. The company continued streaming live air quality data on the Champions Chess Tour broadcast, gaining major coverage throughout the quarter. Airthings has also gained strong traction from Amazon campaigns, generating improved return on advertising spend.

Airthings is continuously improving and expanding the product portfolio and launched the Space CO2 Mini at Expo Real in Munich at the beginning of October. Airthings also launched an extended five-year warranty, highlighting the company's commitment to high quality products and sustainability.

Airthings' brand position and relevance is supported by increasing global awareness on the importance of good indoor air quality. In the quarter, wildfire smoke campaigns on the west coast of the U.S. have driven traction towards the value and importance of Airthings products and solutions. Furthermore, on October 11th the White House Summit on Improving Indoor Air Quality was held, raising the issue of indoor air quality to the national stage in the US.

Airthings has a packed calendar of co-marketing and promotional activities for the remainder of 2022. The upcoming second edition of the Air Summit event, highlighting the balance between health and energy in buildings, will be held in Oslo on November 3rd. Registration to the event can be found at https://content.airthings.com/airsummit.

Outlook and guidance

Airthings delivered revenue of USD 10.1 million in 3Q, within the wider than normal USD 7.0- 11.0 million range outlined in 2Q. This was due to uncertainties regarding distributor inventories, the timing of potential sizeable orders, and the generally weaker consumer sentiment observed in the market.

USDm Revenue and ARR Guidance 4Q22
Revenue 9.0 - 13.0
ARR 3.5 - 4.0

Moving through the quarter Airthings performed towards the high-end of expectations, with strong performance in Airthings for Business and improved traction in the Consumer segment as distribution partners began to rebuild inventories. Provided that end-customer demand and sell-through remains high, inventory levels are expected to continue moving towards normal levels over time. Coming out of 3Q with solid underlying growth and traction throughout channels, the company remains optimistic while being realistic that the macro environment can continue to temper demand.

To realize its profitable growth ambition, Airthings continues to evaluate its cost base and identify areas for cost improvement going forward. The company aims to reduce inventory days and optimize the working capital position over time to secure a lighter relative cost burden that also supports growth.

As heightened market uncertainty remains, the company continues to provide a wider revenue guidance range of USD 9.0 – 13.0 million for 4Q22. ARR is expected at USD 3.5 – 4.0 million at the end of the quarter.

Segment overview

Airthings for Consumer

Revenue from Airthings for Consumer came in at USD 6.4 million in 3Q22 down 13% year-on-year from USD 7.3 million in 3Q21. Revenue was however up 46% from 2Q22 driven by channel and retail partners beginning to replenish inventories. The replenishment was supported by strong sell-through to end-customers in 2Q, which continued its positive trajectory in 3Q with 26% year-on-year growth in new device registrations. This was primarily driven by backlog fulfilment for View Plus, which remains strong going forward. The continued growth in end-user demand underpins a positive outlook for inventory replenishment going forward, although distribution partners remain cautious to fully restore inventory levels following the significant reductions seen in 2Q.

Gross profit for the Consumer segment came in at USD 3.8 million in 3Q22, with a gross profit margin of 59%. This compares to 63% in 3Q21 and 58% in 2Q22. The lower year-on-year margins are mainly driven by channel dynamics with a larger portion of revenues coming from retail partners.

The third quarter continued to demonstrate strong developments with Amazon. Inventories are returning to healthy levels and sell-through is steadily increasing. Amazon USA in particular is seeing strong growth in both shipped revenue and unit sell-through. This was underpinned by portfolio adjustments improving conversion rates and average selling price, as well as a successful launch of 'Prime Day' deals in July.

Expansion continues globally and in our key markets. The roll-out with Home Depot to 1,361 stores across the U.S. continues to drive revenue growth. Added momentum was generated by Home Depot's October National Fire Safety Month which focuses on increasing awareness for Fire Safety and prevention, where Airthings are leading as their Radon and Air Quality partner. The event is expected to significantly increase national awareness, drive traffic, and increase sell-through of the Digital Radon Detector and the Wave Mini.

Following a successful online launch with JB Hi-Fi, a leading Australian Consumer Electronics retailer, View Plus and Wave Mini will be rolled out immediately across 50+ locations across Australia. Airthings also signed a new contract with NetOnNet, a leading Scandinavian retailer, rolling out to 19 strategic locations in the quarter. In addition, shelf placements were secured with Elkjøp with distribution to stores at the end of 3Q and the rollout with B&Q has been scheduled for 4Q.

Airthings for Business (AfB)

Revenue from Airthings for Business came in at USD 3.2 million in 3Q22, up 135% year-on-year, doubling its share of total revenue to 32% from 15% in 3Q21. The growth in the quarter was largely attributed to new customers on the back of increased demand for energy saving capabilities and air quality monitoring as employees return to the office.

The number of devices in the field increased by 179% year-on-year. Devices in the field represent a key driver for the 109% growth in AfB's ARR of USD 2.3 million by the end of 3Q22.

Gross profit for Airthings for Business came in at USD 1.9 million in 3Q22, with a gross margin of 60%. The gross margin is largely in line with the third quarter last year. The GPM in 2Q22 was an outlier at 53% due to effects of inventory impairments related to the discontinuance of Airtight.

Airthings is continuously expanding and building global capabilities. Considerable efforts have been made to rebuild and improve the U.S. team who are already delivering on sales and achieving great progress with Global HVAC providers. In the third quarter, a new contract was signed for a global enterprise customer through a U.S. partnership, worth USD 3.2 million in hardware sales and USD 1.4 million in recurring service revenue over three years. The contract involves the installation of the Airthings for Business solution into commercial buildings around the world, with delivery in 3Q and 4Q.

Airthings announced the launch the Space CO2 Mini, the latest of indoor air quality monitor to the business segment. The Space CO2 Mini is an innovative, accurate, and scalable CO2 monitor that includes temperature, humidity, lux, noise, air pressure, and presence detection sensors. The monitor helps achieve a balance of health and energy efficiency across all rooms in any commercial building. The launch represents a discreet yet powerful completion to the Airthings for Business portfolio that will enable mass-level scalability of CO2 monitoring at an affordable cost.

After the end of the quarter, the company announced a partnership with the leading Swedish ventilation company Lindab to combine products from the two companies into new solutions to improve energy-efficiency and air quality in buildings. This partnership demonstrates the flexibility of the Airthings offering to integrate with others' solutions to create substantial value for end-users.

Airthings for Professionals

Sales revenue from the PRO segment reached USD 0.4 million in 3Q22, reflecting a continued challenging US home inspector market. As seen in the prior quarters, buyers have forgone home inspections to compete with other bids in a market with demand outpacing supply. Increasing interest rates may cool the US housing market and reestablish home inspections as a buyer requirement. It is, however, difficult to predict the timing and magnitude of this effect.

Gross profit from the Pro segment was USD 0.4 million in the quarter, with a margin of 79%. This compares with 82% in 3Q21 and 80% in 2Q22.

Consolidated statement of profit or loss

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

Operating expenses for the group came in at USD 6.3 million in 3Q22 and USD 24.4 million for the first nine months of 2022 (YTD22). The increase was primarily driven by personnel costs associated with higher headcounts in 2022 vs 2021, particularly within the sales and marketing organization. In addition, there were notable one-off costs related to transition to main stock exchange and restructuring costs in the second quarter (see note 6).

EBITDA came in at a slightly negative USD 0.2 million in 3Q22 and USD 9.0 million YTD22.

Depreciation, amortization and impairments

during 3Q22 was USD 0.3 million and 2.6 million YTD22, driven by a one-off cost related to derecognition of the Airtight technology of USD 1.5 million in the second quarter and depreciation of right-of-use assets for the period for leases recognized under IFRS 16 (see note 7).

EBIT came in at negative USD 0.5 million in 3Q22 and negative USD 11.6 million YTD22. Net financial items consist primarily of exchange rate fluctuations between USD and NOK and interest expense on the IFRS 16 lease liability.

Profit (loss) before taxes was a profit of USD 0.4 million in 3Q22 and a loss of USD 9.4 million YTD22.

Tax expense was USD 0.2 million in 3Q22 and a tax income of USD 2.1 million YTD22 (see note 8). This resulted in a net profit of USD 0.3 million in 3Q22 and a net loss of USD 7.3 million YTD22.

Consolidated statement of financial position

Total assets at the end of 3Q22 were USD 59.4 million (end 2Q22: USD 66.7 million), split between non-current assets is USD 14.0 million (end 2Q22: USD 15.0 million), and current assets of USD 45.4 million (end 2Q22: USD 51.7 million). Non-current assets are mainly made up of goodwill, deferred tax assets and right of use assets. Current assets are mainly made up of USD 17.0 million in cash and cash equivalents, as well as inventories and trade receivables. Inventory decreased by USD 0.9 million during the quarter (an increase of USD 6.5 million yearon-year) due weaker than

forecasted demand in the Consumer segment. The company will have a heightened focus on working capital going forward. The book value of equity is USD 49.0 million (end 2Q22: USD 53.4). This equates to an equity ratio of 82.5% (end 2Q22: 79.9%)

Total liabilities were USD 10.4 million at the end of 3Q22 (end 2Q22: USD 13.4). The decrease in non-current provisions is related to employee option program. Lease liabilities reflects the non-current and current portion of the lease liability recognized for leasing of office space under IFRS 16. Other current liabilities consist of deferred revenue related to subscription service, public duty taxes, personnel related accruals and other accrued expenses during the quarter.

Consolidated statement of cash flows

Total cash and cash equivalents balance

decreased by USD 6.2 million from 2Q22 to USD 17.0 million. USD 2.9 million in the decline is attributable to unrealized exchange differences.

Cash flow from operating activities came in at negative USD 2.5 million in 3Q and negative USD 16.2 million in YTD22 mainly driven by a profit before tax in addition to negative working capital due to reduction of trade payables and provisions.

Cashflow from investment activities was

negative USD 0.5 million in 3Q22 and negative USD 1.7 million in YTD22 driven mainly by capitalization of internally generated intangible assets.

Cashflow from financing activities was marginal at negative USD 0.2 million in 3Q22 and USD 0.5 million in YTD22 mainly related to payments of lease liabilities.

Notes

Note 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 produce solutions for monitoring indoor air quality, radon and energy efficiency. The Group sells it's products and solutions to consumers and businesses around the world.

The interim consolidated financial statements of the Group for the period ended 30 September 2022 were authorized for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors on 26 October 2022.

Reference is made to note 4.1 in the Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021 for a list of subsidiaries.

Note 2: Basis of preparation and significant accounting policies

The interim 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 selected explanatory notes. The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the European Union ('EU').

The interim consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with Airthings' 2021 consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2021. The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those applied in the preparation of Airthings' consolidated annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021. The Group has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.

The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis. All figures are presented in United States dollar ('USD') thousands (USD 1,000), except when otherwise stated.

Further, the interim consolidated financial statements are prepared based on the going concern assumption. The Group has so far seen limited business impact related to the Covid-19 pandemic as the consumer demand for its products has in some cases increased due to elevated air quality awareness. In other instances, Covid-19 has led to a pressed semiconductor market which has resulted in increased component prices and delivery delays as production capacity has been held back by component shortage. Also, the pandemic has led to slowed retail store roll-out and limited access to buildings for the business segment. The Board continues to monitor the situation carefully to ensure appropriate measures are taken as the situation continues to unfold during 2022.

Presentation currency and functional currency

Airthings ASA has Norwegian krone ('NOK') as its functional currency and its subsidiaries have SEK or USD as their functional currencies. The Group presents it's consolidated financial statements in USD to provide the primary users of the financial statements with more convenient information. When converting from NOK to USD large items on the balance sheet, such as Equity and Cash and cash equivalents, may show significant unrealized differences when the exchange rate between these two currencies fluctuates substantially.

Note 3: Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

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.

In preparing the interim consolidated financial statements, the significant judgments, estimates and assumptions made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key source of estimation uncertainty were the same as those applied to Airthings' annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021.

Note 4: 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 private customers
  • Business business customers such as schools, office buildings and other commercial buildings
  • Professional professional customers such as home inspectors and certified radon professionals

No operating segments have been aggregated to form the above reportable operating segments.

The Board of Directors is the Group's chief operating decision maker and monitors the operating results of its business units separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated based on EBITDA measured consistently with operating profit or loss before depreciation and amortization. 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.

1) Derecognition of technology

The Airtight acquisition in 2020 fast-forwarded our focus and understanding on how air quality monitoring can save energy in buildings. However, after a thorough pilot process Airthings decided during 2Q 2022 to not sell Airtight hardware as a separate product, but rather continue to help customers achieve energy savings through current AfB solution. Airthings sees major optimization opportunities to make existing buildings both smarter and more energy efficient, and the insights gleaned from the differential pressure concept will inform R&D efforts for the AfB portfolio going forward. This resulted in a derecognition of technology of USD 1.5 million specifically related to the Airtight hardware and USD 0.2 million of the inventory.

2) Goodwill

Airthings performed its annual impairment test for goodwill in December 2021 and no impairments were made. The impairment test for goodwill is based on value-in-use calculations. The key assumptions used to determine the recoverable amount were disclosed in Airthings' consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021.

Airthings considers the relationship between our market capitalization and our book value, among other factors, when reviewing for indicators of impairment. In addition, the group considers factors such as revenue growth in the industry, impact of general economic conditions, changes in the technological environment, the group's market share, and performance compared to previous forecasts in this assessment.

No changes to AfB's long-term prospects are expected due to the recent macro development, hence no impairment of the goodwill is made. Management does not see any other reasonable changes in the key assumptions that would cause the value in use to be lower than its carrying value.

Note 8: Income tax

The normalized consolidated tax rate for the Group are 22%. The Group's operations are subject to income tax in various foreign jurisdictions. The statutory income tax rates vary from 20.6% to 22%, which results in a difference between the statutory income tax rate in Norway and the average tax rate applicable to the Group. The effect from the statutory income tax rates from other countries (Sweden and USA) on the Group tax rate is very limited as the main operations are in Norway.

Deferred tax assets are recognized for unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilized. Tax losses carried forward in the parent company have been fully recognized as deferred tax assets in the consolidated financial statements, as the Group consider it to be probable that these taxable losses may be utilized in the near future. Reference is made to note 2.8 in the Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021 for more information.

Note 12: Other factors and significant events

War in Ukraine

The escalation of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine which led to armed conflicts in Ukraine on 24 February, 2022 has created uncertainty regarding the development of the global economy. The evolving conflict does currently not impact the Group directly, as it has no operating presence in either Russia, Belarus or Ukraine. Indirect effects however, such as financial market volatility, sanctionsrelated 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.
