Operationalreview
Revenue and margin development
Airthings recorded sales revenue of USD 9.5 million in 4Q22, down 10% year-on-year and 5% quarter-on-quarter. Revenue for the full year 2022 came in at USD 35.5 million, up 5% from 2021.
The decline in the quarter primarily reflects that the company's channel partners reduced inventory, as well as longer sales lead times for Airthings for Business as investment decisions are taking longer in the current market environment.

End-customer demand remains relatively strong, with Consumer new device registrations from smart products increasing more than 20% year-on-year in the fourth quarter.
Gross Profit came in at USD 5.6 million in 4Q22 and USD 21.0 million for the full year 2022, corresponding to a gross profit margin (GPM) of 59% for both the quarter and the full year. This compares with 57% GPM in Q421, and 61% for the full year 2021. Margins should be expected to fluctuate on a quarterly basis depending on product and channel mix.
Annual recurring revenue (ARR)
Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) came in at USD 3.6 million in 4Q22, representing 26% growth year-on-year. The increase is mainly reflective of the strong 43% growth achieved in in Airthings for Business throughout the year, which accounted for USD 2.5 million of ARR at the end of the 2022. Gross margin from ARR revenue was >80% in 4Q22.

Brand awareness
The awareness of the importance of indoor air quality (IAQ) is growing, and Airthings continues to strengthen its brand positioning as a leading company within IAQ. Powered by targeted marketing campaigns over the course of the year, the company attracted global PR attention from leading publications such as Forbes, Fortune, Good Housekeeping and Bob Vila.

The www.airthings.com website reached 581k unique web visitors in the fourth quarter and 3,117k for the full year 2022. This represents a 30% year-on-year decline in 4Q22, and 48% year-on-year growth from 2021 to 2022.
Going into 2023, Airthings launched its new Airthings app at CES, a highly successful event drawing attention to the importance of indoor air quality and Airthings products such as the new Space CO2 Mini which was launched at the Expo Real in Munich in 4Q22. The launch demonstrates our continued ability to enhance the value proposition of Airthings' products and services for customers and end-users.
Proving our sustainability profile
In the fourth quarter, Airthings received a Gold Medal for 2022 from EcoVadis, the worlds most trusted business sustainability ratings organization, underscoring the company's commitment to continuous improvement in implementing sustainable practices. The accreditation places Airthings among the top 3% most sustainable companies globally.
Airthings is enabling businesses to reduce energy consumption using air quality data, saving thousands of tons of CO2 per year. In addition, the company is utilizing circular principles to ensure responsible manufacturing and usage of high-quality components and materials to ensure long-term shelf lives. Airthings also aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) using them as a framework for its ESG actions.

Outlook and guidance
Airthings delivered revenue of USD 9.5 million in 4Q22, within the broad revenue guidance of USD 9.0 – 13.0 million provided in 3Q22.
| USDm | Revenue and ARR Guidance 1Q23 |
|---|---|
| Revenue | 8.5 - 11.5 |
| ARR | 3.7 - 4.0 |
End-user demand held up reasonably well with new device registrations for smart products in the Consumer segment up 20% year-on-year in the fourth quarter. Products such as the View Plus are drivers of growth in end-user demand, supported by a high level of promotional activities for other products. Revenues falling in the low-end of the range thus reflects that channel partners lowered inventories to reduce working capital in a generally uncertain market environment.
Airthings maintains the view that channel partners will replenish inventories to normal levels over time. Weak consumer confidence figures and recession fears could however mean that many distributors will continue to push out new orders also in the coming quarters. High economic uncertainty also means that sales cycles are being extended in Airthings for Business.
Due to the persisting market uncertainties, Airthings continues to provide a relatively wide revenue guidance range of USD 8.5 – 11.5 million for 1Q23. ARR is expected to expand to USD 3.7 – 4.0 million by the end of the quarter, corresponding to 19 – 29% year-on-year growth.
Given Airthings's revenue growth slowdown in 2022 and a continued volatile market situation coming into 2023, Airthings is intensifying its focus on:
- i. Optimizing business operations, reducing inventories, and improving the cash position. This effort includes promotional activities to increase sales, cost initiatives, and securing the USD 8 million revolving credit facility with Danske Bank in January 2023
- ii. Sharpening the strategic focus of Airthings for Business and enhancing its value proposition, with a key component including strengthening the energy optimization offering
The Company acknowledges that it is unlikely to reach its original revenue ambition of USD 100 million by 2024. However, succeeding with these focus areas should allow Airthings to return to its long-term growth trajectory with profitable growth.
In addition and based the Company's financial position, and following an offer received from the Company's largest shareholder Firda AS and A Management AS, the board of directors of the Company has resolved to propose a private placement of new shares to raise NOK 75 million. The private placement is planned to be conducted after close of trading on the Oslo Stock Exchange on 13 February 2023. Firda AS, together with A Management AS, has committed to subscribe for and be allocated NOK 50 million in such private placement and has agreed to guarantee full subscription of the remaining NOK 25 million at a subscription price of NOK 3.20. Completion of the private placement will be subject to approval by an extraordinary general meeting of the Company. Following completion of the private placement, the board will consider a subsequent offering of new shares to shareholders who hold shares below a certain threshold and were not allocated shares in the private placement.
Segment overview
Airthings for Consumer
Revenue from Airthings for Consumer came in at USD 6.2 million in 4Q22, down 5.0% year-onyear from USD 6.5 million in 4Q21. Channel partners remain highly cautious on inventory levels, and many would rather take the risk to run out of stock than expose themselves to excess inventory.
This resulted in orders coming in lower than expected, and some orders being pushed into 2023.
Airthings did however see a healthy 22% yearon-year growth in annual device registrations for

smart products in Consumer in 4Q22, and 23% year-on-year growth for the full year. The segment is also seeing strong sell-through performance with key retailers in 4Q22. In-store sell-through at Home Depot increased fivefold year-on-year, with healthy sell-through also with other premium North American retailers.
Sales to Amazon were however low due to their end-of-year reduction in physical inventory levels and "weeks of cover" of products. Airthings' flagship product, View Plus, nevertheless showed 38% growth from 3Q22, and now represents the largest share of revenue from Amazon.
Gross profit for the Consumer segment came in at USD 3.5 million in 4Q22 with a gross profit margin of 57%, compared to 54% in 4Q21 and 59% in 3Q22. The margin fluctuations reflect product and channel mix between quarters.
Airthings for Business (AfB)
Revenue from Airthings for Business came in at USD 2.8 million in 4Q22, down 14% year-onyear from a strong 4Q21 boosted by a large deal with schools in Quebec. Overall, Airthings for Business grew 49% in 2022 vs. 2021. The number of devices in the field increased by 151% year-on-year.
Gross profit for Airthings for Business came in at USD 1.7 million in 4Q22, with a gross margin of 60%. The gross margin is largely in line with both 4Q21 and 3Q22.
US sales in the quarter largely reflect shipments to a large global enterprise customer under the USD 4.6 million contract announced in 3Q22. Sales in EMEA were slightly below expectations due to timing of contracts, year-end inventory reductions at partners, and buildup of a USD 0.5 million backlog due to inventory shortage of the recently launched Space CO2 Mini. Performance marketing and marketing events held in the quarter increased the number of leads for Airthings for Business and boosted the company's overall positioning in global markets.
4Q22 entailed several new contracts and partnerships across the company's global locations, and new proof of concepts were entered with several potential new customers.
In Norway, Airthings expanded to 16 new municipalities, including a full roll-out of an Indoor Air quality Solution in Moss. In total, Airthings for Business is now implemented across more than 70 Norwegian municipalities. In addition, the company installed its business solution to enable energy management in 48 newbuilds through the partnership with Energy Control.
In February 2023, Airthings for Business announced the launch of the Energy Efficiency Toolkit, the first of many new dynamic tools focusing on energy waste specifically designed to optimize cost savings through identifying unnecessary, wasteful energy expenditures. Buildings use 40% of the world's energy, and 30% of that comes from heating, ventilation, cooling and lights. Airthings' Energy Efficiency Toolkit will help customers significantly reduce energy waste on ventilation, cooling, heating and lighting by providing actionable data & insights.

Airthings for Professionals
Sales revenue from the PRO segment reached USD 0.5 million in 4Q22, reflecting a continued challenging US home inspector market.
Gross profit from the PRO segment was USD 0.4 million in the quarter, with a margin of 85%. This compares with 75% in 4Q21 and 79% in 3Q22.

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 8.4 million in 4Q22 and USD 32.7 million for the full year 2022. 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 negative USD 2.8 million in 4Q22 and negative USD 11.8 million in 2022.
Depreciation, amortization and impairments
during 4Q22 was USD 0.3 million and 2.9 million in 2022, 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 3.1 million in 4Q22 and negative USD 14.7 million in 2022. 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 loss of USD 4.3 million in 4Q22 and USD 13.7 million in 2022.
Tax income was USD 1.0 million in 4Q22 and USD 3.1 million for the full year 2022 (see note 8). This resulted in a net loss of USD 3.3 million in 4Q22 and a net loss of USD 10.6 million for 2022.
Consolidated statement of financial position
Total assets at the end of 4Q22 were USD 63.7 million (end 3Q22: USD 59.4 million), split between non-current assets is USD 16.5 million (end 3Q22: USD 14.0 million), and current assets of USD 47.2 million (end 3Q22: USD 45.4 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 13.3 million in cash and cash equivalents, inventories and trade receivables. Inventory increased by USD 3.2 million during the quarter (an increase of USD 7.3 million year-on-year). The company will continue the heightened focus on working capital going forward.
The book value of equity is USD 50.9 million (end 3Q22: USD 49.0). This equates to an equity ratio of 79.9% (end 3Q22: 82.5%)
Total liabilities were USD 12.8 million at the end of 4Q22 (end 3Q22: USD 10.4). 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 3.7 million from 3Q22 to USD 13.3 million.
Cash flow from operating activities came in at negative USD 6.0 million in 4Q22 and negative USD 22.2 million in 2022 mainly driven by a profit before tax in addition to negative working capital due to increase in inventories.
Cashflow from investment activities was negative USD 0.5 million in 4Q22 and negative USD 2.2 million in 2022 driven mainly by capitalization of internally generated intangible assets.
Cashflow from financing activities was marginal at negative USD 0.1 million in 4Q22 and USD 0.6 million in 2022 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 31 December 2022 were authorized for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors on 9 February 2023.
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 of 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 macroeconomic environment has proven challenging throughout 2022 with increasing interest rates and inflation causing uncertainty and reduced consumer confidence. Consequently, retailers and distribution partners have reduced inventory coverage to lower their capital burden and hamper risk exposure. The Board continues to monitor the situation carefully to ensure appropriate measures are taken as the situation continues to unfold through 2023.
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 2022 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 will be disclosed in Airthings' consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022.
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 consolidated tax rate for the Group are approximately 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.
