Comments from the CEO
I am pleased to report that we have completed the restructuring and reorganization in the third quarter, in line with our plans. We are now well positioned to meet the continued strong underlying demand for our leading indoor air quality solutions. The workforce has been reduced by 20 percent, and we have established a leaner organization and operating model. In line with our updated strategy, we will prioritize segments and solutions that are suitable to accelerate our path towards profitability and long-term value creation.
In the third quarter we achieved revenues of USD 10.0 million, within our range of guidance, and slightly down from the same quarter last year. Revenues in the Consumer segment amounted to USD 7.7 million, corresponding to a revenue growth of 21 percent in the quarter. Safety concerns contributed to increased awareness around indoor air quality, driving demand for our easy-to-use radon devices. Gross profit in the Consumer segment came in at USD 4.2 million in Q3 24, with a gross margin of 54 percent, down 5 percentage points from Q3 23, impacted negatively by channel mix, with a larger share of sales coming from retail where margins were under pressure.
Revenues from the Business segment amounted to USD 1.8 million in Q3 24, down 42 percent year-on-year. The difference was mainly related to one large global enterprise customer deal in the same period last year. Repeat purchases from existing customers, both schools and large businesses, confirmed a high degree of customer satisfaction. Stable annual recurring revenues supported a healthy gross margin of 72 percent in the quarter.
Gross profit for the third quarter was USD 5.8 million, showing a gross margin decline of 3 percentage points compared to the third quarter last year. The decline was caused both by a larger share of total revenues coming from consumer sales, and by the channel mix within the Consumer segment. In line with our updated strategy, we are implementing a more data-driven approach to ensure an optimized supply chain and channel mix going forward. Balancing volumes and margins in retail sales will be important to ensure a good combination of distribution and profitable growth.
We expect the gross margin to fluctuate from quarter to quarter, impacted by product and channel mix in the Consumer segment, and the timing of lager deals in the Business segment. Although this quarter's EBITDA is impacted by the expected one-off restructuring costs, we reiterate our target to become EBITDA positive in the second half of 2025. We also expect that our current operating plans remain fully funded until we reach break-even.
All the best,

Emma Tryti CEO, Airthings

Operational review
Revenues and margin development
Airthings delivered revenues of USD 10.0 million in Q3 24, a 1 percent decline compared to the same quarter last year. Revenues in the Consumer segment continued to grow, driven by robust demand for radon products. Sales in the Business segment was down from Q3 last year, but higher than previous quarters this year.
Revenues from the Consumer segment reached USD 7.7 million in Q3 24, up 21 percent year-onyear, driven by growth across all channels, primarily through key distribution partners in retail.
Revenues from the Business segment amounted to USD 1.8 million in Q3 24, down 42 percent year-onyear. Adjusted for one large global enterprise customer deal signed in the same period last year, revenues slightly increased this year.

Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) came in at USD 4.3 million in Q3 24, within the guided range of USD 4.3 to USD 4.5 million. This represented a 6 percent growth year-on-year. The gross margin from ARR remained above 80 percent in the quarter.
Gross profit was USD 5.8 million in Q3 24, down 7 percent from USD 6.3 million in Q3 23. The gross profit margin was 59 percent in Q3 24, down 3 percentage points compared to Q3 23. The gross margin was impacted negatively by a larger share of total revenues coming from Consumer sales, and by the channel mix within Consumer, with a larger share of sales coming from retail.


OPEX increased 16 percent year-on-year to USD 7.2 million, mainly due to one-off restructuring costs of USD 0.9 million. Adjusted for this, operational expenses were on par with the expenses in the same quarter last year.
The EBITDA in Q3 24 was negative USD 1.3 million, compared to an EBITDA break-even in Q3 23, negatively impacted by the restructuring costs mentioned above.
Segment overview
The Consumer segment
Revenues from the Consumer segment came in at USD 7.7 million in Q3 24, representing a 21 percent year-on-year increase. Growth was mainly driven by increased demand for easy-to-use safety-related products for radon monitoring in the North American market, particularly in Canada, where sales more than doubled across channels. The main sales channel in the quarter was retail, driven by high velocity events. Direct sales through Airthings.com continue to excel, up 42 percent yearon-year, despite generally lower digital sales during the summer.

Number of new device registrations for connected products was 4 percent lower than the equivalent quarter last year, driven by channel and product mix. As a result of increased demand for radon products, sales of Corentium Home, a non-connected radon-sensor, increased 34 percent year-on-year. As this product is not connected it does not count in our current measurement of device registrations. It has passed 10,000 ratings on Amazon during the quarter, achieving 4.6 out of 5 stars, confirming Airthings' position as the leader in IAQ.
Repeat sales continue to drive more than a quarter of total sales, indicating high customer satisfaction and loyalty, supported by high customer ratings in key channels. Our flagship product View Plus remained the most popular second device purchase.
In September 2024, Airthings launched Wave Enhance, a compact monitor for bedrooms, on Airthings.com, Amazon and through selected retailers. The product received positive reviews and media coverage. Wave Enhance is expected to generate revenues from Q4 24, particularly in the Nordics, where it will be distributed through more than 100 Elkjøp retail outlets.

The Consumer segment
The launch of Airthings Renew in January marked our first entry into the growing air purifier market. The product was well-received, generating widespread positive attention. Despite modest initial sales volumes, we experienced increasing consumer interest and a steady sales growth, reflecting the strong potential for this product category.
Gross profit in the Consumer segment came in at USD 4.2 million in Q3 24, with a gross margin of 54 percent, down 5 percentage points from Q3 23, impacted negatively by a larger share of sales from retail. Retail is an important channel to gain volume and visibility and provides an important platform for growth in the Consumer segment going forward. With increasing underlying demand for our leading indoor air quality solutions, our own channels will become more important. Going forward, we will place greater emphasis on balancing volume and margin. This is particularly important as we expect the large retailers to increase their focus on profitability as consumer purchasing power remain constrained, particularly in the United States.
The Business segment
Revenues from the Business segment came in at USD 1.8 million in Q3 24, down 42 percent from USD 3.1 million in Q3 23. The year-on-year decline was mainly related to one, large global enterprise customer deal in the same period last year. Gross profit for the Business segment was USD 1.3 million in Q3 24, compared to USD 2.0 million in Q3 23. The gross margin came in at 72 percent, up from 65 percent in Q3 23.

As per the Q2 24 strategy update, proactive direct sales to non-scalable business customers were halted. Instead, we focused on large accounts and increasing business among existing customers. In the third quarter our existing large enterprise customers placed significant amounts of mediumsized orders to prepare for instalments in offices and locations around the world. We have completed deployment with a volume varying from 100s of sensors to 1000s of sensors at four Fortune 500 companies including two large tech companies, a large financial institution and a large healthcare company, strengthening the potential for further baseline sales. The increasing amount of revenues from the Business segment confirms a high degree of strong customer loyalty and satisfaction.
The number of devices in the field increased by 25 percent year-on-year in Q3 24. The growth is mainly driven by increasing demand from large enterprise customers valuing enhanced wellness and performance amongst their employees, enabled by increased awareness from indoor air quality monitoring.
The challenging conditions in the real estate market continued and the company did not record any new larger projects in Q3 24. The pipeline for large projects continued to grow and we maintain a positive long-term outlook for the segment.
The Professional segment
Revenues from the Professional segment reached USD 0.4 million in Q3 24, declining 33 percent from the same quarter last year. Gross profit was USD 0.4 million in the quarter, with a gross profit margin of 84 percent compared to 79 percent in Q3 23.


Outlook and guidance
Airthings had revenues of USD 10.0 million in Q3 24, within the USD 9.5 – 11.5 million range of guidance provided in the Q2 24 report. Revenues are expected to increase to USD 9.5- 12.0 million in Q4 24.
We expect the strong growth rate in the Consumer segment to continue in the fourth quarter, which is peak season for air quality monitoring and strategic events. Demand typically increases as the weather gets colder and people spend more time indoors. As in previous years, awareness and demand are expected to increase during the fourth quarter, in connection with Fire Safety event at Home Depot in the United States, Amazon's global Fall Prime Day, Radon Awareness month in Canada and Black Friday Week events.
We expect the underlying growth in the Business segment to be stable. However, we expect lower revenues in the Business segment in Q4 24 than in the same period last year, which included one large transaction that generated USD 1.4 million in hardware revenue.
Initiatives were successfully completed to reduce complexity by establishing a leaner and more focused operating model and organization, in line with announced objectives. A reduction of the workforce by 20 percent will have full effect from Q1 2025, reducing annual operating expenses by about USD 2.5 million in 2025.
Inventory management remained a focus area in the quarter. The total number of days of inventory ended at 333, a reduction of 13 days from Q2 24. We aim to reduce inventory to 250 days at year end.
Revenues in Q4 24 are expected to be in the range of USD 9.5 - 12.0 million.
In Q4 24, revenues may be negatively impacted by up to USD 1.2 million. Airthings has been approached regarding a possible buyback of inventory due to defective batteries in a product. The particular batteries are limited to one product and one batch of batteries delivered in 2022. Internal assessments of the issue and discussions with the customer regarding a resolution are ongoing. The maximum revenue effect is expected to be USD 1.2 million but can be lower. Airthings expects to conclude in Q4 24. Accurate revenue and EBITDA-effects will be reflected in the Q4 24 report.
ARR at the end of Q4 is expected to be in the range of USD 4.3 – 4.5 million.
| Guidance (USD M) | Q4 2024 |

| Revenues | 9.5 – 12.0 |
| Annual Recurring Revenues | 4.3 – 4.5 |

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 its products and solutions to consumers and businesses around the world.
The interim consolidated financial statements of the Group for the period ended 30 September 2024 were authorized for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors on 23 October 2024.
Reference is made to note 4.1 in the Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023 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' 2023 consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2023. 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 2023. 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 shown mixed signals during 2023 and early 2024, with persistent inflationary pressures gradually easing but still remaining above most central bank targets. While interest rates have stabilized at elevated levels, their cumulative impact continues to affect consumer spending patterns and business investment decisions. Retailers and distribution partners maintain cautious inventory management strategies, focusing on operational efficiency and working capital optimization. Though the Business segment has seen some signs of recovery, investment decisions remain measured as companies navigate the evolving economic landscape. . The Board continues to monitor the situation carefully.
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 its 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 2023.
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) Goodwill
Airthings performed its annual impairment test for goodwill in December 2023 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 are disclosed in Airthings' consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023.
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.
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 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 future. Reference is made to note 2.8 in the Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023 for more information.
Note 9: Revolving credit facility

|---|---|
| Dividend yield (%) | 0.00% |
| Expected volatility (%) | 49.12% |
| Risk–free interest rate (%) | 3.73% |

Note 14: Other factors and significant events
Reference is made to note 6.4 of Airthings' 2023 consolidated financial statements. The key risk areas are discussed below:
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 Company has decided to terminate the Innovation Norway project (see note 10) and will start repayments in October 2025.
The Group's cash position was USD 9.0 million on 30 September 2024, down from USD 11.2 million on 30 June 2024. The Group also has access to liquidity through a revolving credit facility (RCF) with Danske Bank. This was initially entered for USD 8 million in Q1 23 and renewed for 1 year for USD 6 million in Q1 24. The liquidity risk is hence considered to be at a reasonable level.
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 Group's interim consolidated financial statements for the period ended 30 September 2024. 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 30 September 2024.
Note 15: Events after the reporting period
Adjusting events
There have been no significant adjusting events subsequent to the reporting date.
Non-adjusting events
In Q4 24, revenues may be negatively impacted by up to USD 1.2 million. Airthings has been approached regarding a possible buyback of inventory due to defective batteries in a product. The particular batteries are limited to one product and one batch of batteries delivered in 2022. Internal assessments of the issue and discussions with the customer regarding a resolution are ongoing. The maximum revenue effect is expected to be USD 1.2 million but can be lower. Airthings expects to conclude in Q4 24. Accurate revenue and EBITDA-effects will be reflected in the Q4 24 report.
Alternative performance measures
This section includes information about alternative performance measures (APMs) applied by the Group.
These alternative performance measures are presented to improve the ability of stakeholders to evaluate the Group's operating performance. The Group applies the following APMs.
Annual recurring revenue (ARR)
ARR is the value of annualized sales from all active subscriptions, licenses and service contracts within the Airthings for Business and Professional segments. The calculation is based on monthly subscription fees for the ending period (MRR), multiplied by 12 in order to represent an annualized figure. The numbers presented in the table below are translated from NOK to USD applying the average NOK/USD exchange rate for YTD 2024 and YTD 2023 respectively. ARR is considered an important supplemental measure for stakeholders to get an overall understanding of revenue generation within the Group's operating activities.
| (USD 1,000) | Q3 2024 | Q3 2023 | 2023 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MRR | 360 | 338 | 348 |
| ARR | 4,319 | 4,060 | 4,175 |
EBITDA
The Group's earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) is used to provide consistent information on Airthings' operating performance relative to other companies, and is frequently used by analysts, investors and other stakeholders when evaluating the financial performance of the Group. EBITDA, as defined by Airthings, includes total operating revenue and excludes depreciation, amortization and impairment loss. For a reconciliation of EBITDA, refer to the consolidated statement of profit or loss.
| EBITDA (USD 1,000) | Q3 2024 | Q3 2023 | YTD 2024 | YTD 2023 | 2023 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | 9,963 | 10,082 | 28,207 | 26,290 | 36,592 |
| EBITDA | -1,334 | 73 | -4,840 | -5,868 | -6,832 |
| EBITDA margin | -13% | 1% | -17% | -22% | -19% |

Gross profit margin
Gross profit margin is defined as revenue less cost of goods sold as a percentage of total revenue. Management believes that this measure is important for the users of the financial statements to determine the profitability and the financial performance of the Group.
| Gross profit margin (USD 1,000) | Q3 2024 | Q3 2023 | YTD 2024 | YTD 2023 | 2023 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | 9,963 | 10,082 | 28,207 | 26,290 | 36,592 |
| Cost of goods sold | 4,124 | 3,824 | 11,166 | 10,541 | 14,302 |
| Gross profit | 5,839 | 6,258 | 17,041 | 15,750 | 22,290 |
| Gross profit margin | 59% | 62% | 60% | 60% | 61% |
