Comments from the CEO
The second quarter was marked by continued strong growth and customer loyalty in the Consumer segment, combined with lagging sales in the Business segment due to challenging market conditions and order postponements.
Revenues from the Consumer segment were up 37 percent year-over-year, exceeding expectations. Sales increased across all channels, with a particularly strong growth in North America. Total revenues were up 17 percent, despite low sales in the Business segment.
Performance and insights gained during the first half of 2024 prompted a review and update of our strategy to make sure we capitalize on market trends and deliver the best possible return on investment in the short to medium term. Climate change and general health awareness contribute to increased focus on indoor air quality and Airthings is well positioned to capture business in a rapidly growing market for health-tech devices and services.
Since the Airthings 3.0 strategy, announced at the Capital Market Day last year, we have continued our progress towards profitability. To accelerate the process, we will sharpen the focus and reduce complexity. We will concentrate resources on one, shared and customer-centric value proposition: Health-driven Indoor Air Quality Devices (IAQ). Airthings will empower people to breathe better at home, at school and at work. Going forward, building control will be developed and distributed through partners, and not as part of our core offering. Proactive direct sales to non-scalable business customer segments will be halted. During the second half of 2024 we will establish a leaner and more focused organization, reducing the workforce by 20 percent.
In addition to updating our strategy, we have set a new target for profitability: We aim to be EBITDA positive for the second half of 2025, and for the full year 2026 and expect that our current operating plans remain fully funded to break even.
Our products and solutions meet the needs of individuals, families, businesses and authorities, all increasingly aware of the importance of health-driven indoor air quality. Our insights confirm that people in many parts of the world now consider indoor air quality as a "must have", rather than a "nice to have". The trend will grow. And we will be there to capture market share, capitalizing on our position to ensure profitable growth.
All the best,

Emma Tryti CEO, Airthings

Operational review
Revenues and margin development
Airthings delivered revenues of USD 8.7 million in Q2 24, a 17 percent year-over-year growth, driven by strong growth in the Consumer segment and offset by continued challenging market conditions in the Business segment.
Revenues from the Consumer segment reached USD 6.8 million in the quarter, up 37 percent year-over-year, driven by sales growth across all channels, primarily the direct-to-consumer channel and key distribution partners. Consumer demand remained high in the North-American market, particularly in Canada. 26% repeat purchases indicated consumer
stickiness.

Revenues from the Business segment amounted to USD 1.4 million in Q2 24, down 30 percent year-over-year mainly due to one large US school deal in the same period last year. Challenging market conditions in the commercial real estate market continued to cause revenue volatility and longer sales cycles. New contracts in the quarter included the deployment of IAQ sensors to 1,500 US classrooms and in the office buildings of a leading financial institution in Oslo, Norway.
Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) came in at USD 4.3 million in Q2 24, within the guided range of USD 4.3–4.5 million. This represented a 7 percent growth year-over-year. ARR from the Business segment reached USD 3.2 million, up 11 percent compared to Q2 23. The gross margin from ARR remains >80 percent. The increase in ARR was driven by large installations at large enterprise customers and US school districts.


Gross profit was USD 5.4 million in Q2 24, up 18 percent from USD 4.6 million in Q2 23. The gross profit margin was 62 percent in Q2 24, about the same level as the same quarter last year, despite a significant higher share of revenues from the Consumer segment.
OPEX was reduced by 3 percent year-over-year to USD 7.1 million, including a 10 percent- decline in employee benefit expenses related to cost initiatives. Overall, this generated an EBITDA-loss in Q2 24 of USD 1.7 million, compared to a loss of USD 2.7 million in Q2 23.
Outlook and guidance
Airthings reported revenues of USD 8.7 million in Q2 24, within the USD 8.0 – 10.0 million guided range announced in the Q1 24 report. Revenues are expected to increase to USD 9.5 - 11.5 million in Q3 24.
The market in the second quarter continued to be characterized by contrasting dynamics; increasing demand across all channels in the Consumer segment, and longer sales cycles in the Business segment.
We expect the strong growth rate in the Consumer segment to continue in the third quarter, partly driven by major high velocity events such as Prime Day and Fire Safety Event in collaboration with Amazon and Home Depot in the United States. Additionally, the need for air quality control typically increases with the forecasted surge of wildfires in the quarter, a problem increasingly affecting more and more regions globally.
We expect lower Q3 revenues in the Business segment than in the same period last year. The third quarter last year was exceptionally strong, mainly due to one large transaction that generated USD 1.2 million in hardware revenue. We are building a promising pipeline for the segment and remain confident in the long-term prospects generated by rising demand from large accounts and school districts in the United States, the Nordic countries and the United Kingdom.
The work to revamp our logistics set-up continues with good progress. During the first half of this year, a new US warehouse with effective system integration has been set up, and we are consolidating all US product distribution there. This will improve cost without impacting delivery times and give us a scalable distribution system in the US. We expect the majority of this work to complete by the end of this year. In parallel we have started to work on setting up a EU warehouse and will continue this work into 2025.

Inventory management remained a focus area. In Q2 24, days of inventory ended at 346, a reduction of 14 days from Q1 24, despite significant ramped-up production in the second quarter for order deliveries to high velocity events in the third quarter.
Revenues in Q3 24 are expected to end in the range of USD 9.5-11.5 million. ARR at the end of the quarter is expected at USD 4.3-4.5 million.
| USDm | Guidance Q3 2024 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | 9.5 - 11.5 |

| ARR | 4.3 - 4.5 |
Despite the positive impact of the Airthings 3.0 strategy execution, we need to speed up our path to profitability as we capitalize on growing underlying demand. With a strengthened management team in place, a strategy review process was initiated in H1. The process has identified strategic initiatives to capitalize on IAQ awareness and reduce complexity.
Going forward, we will invest in one, united value proposition: Indoor air quality solutions to people at home, at school and at work. Consequently, we will stop in-house development initiatives for building control and solutions and enable trusted partners to sell and grow building control to businesses. Further, we will reduce complexity through a leaner and more focused operating model and organization, resulting in a 20% workforce reduction in the second half of 2024. This will have effect from Q1 2025, reducing operating expenses by approx. USD 2.5 million in 2025. As a consequence of the strategic initiatives: one value proposition, partnerships and leaner organization, we target positive EBITDA for the second half of 2025 and for the full year 2026 and expect that our current operating plans remain fully funded to break even.

Segment overview
The Consumer segment
Revenues from the Consumer segment came in at USD 6.8 million in Q2 24, representing a 37 percent year-over-year increase. The growth was driven by the implementation of the Airthings 3.0 strategy globally, with a particularly robust performance in North America. Our efforts to enhance direct sales yielded positive results, with airthings.com accounting for nearly 20 percent of Consumer revenues in Q2. Gross profit in the Consumer segment came in at USD 4.0 million in Q2 24, with a gross margin of 58 percent on par with Q2 23.

New device registrations for connected products increased 12 percent year-over-year in Q2 24, up from a high level in Q2 23 which was characterized by extensive promotional activities. Sales of our non- connected radon-senso increased by 274 percent this quarter, contributing to the deviation between growth in revenue and device registrations. Repeat sales accounted for 26 percent of total sales in Q2 24, indicating customer satisfaction and loyalty. The View Plus remained the most popular second device purchase.
General health awareness, combined with increased prevalence of wildfires, extreme weather conditions and extended indoor activities, has heightened the relevance of Airthings' products also in the summer months. North America was a key growth driver in the second quarter, with 40 percent year-over-year sales growth in Canada due to heightened awareness of radon and wildfirerelated concerns.
The Business segment
Revenues from the Business segment came in at USD 1.4 million in Q2 24, down 30 percent from USD 2.0 million in Q2 23. This mainly reflected reduced contribution from USD school districts, which declined to USD 0.2 million in Q2 24 from USD 0.6 million in the same quarter last year. Gross profit for the Business segment was USD 1.0 million in Q2 24, compared to USD 1.3 million in Q2 23. The gross margin came in at 73 percent, up from 66 percent in Q2 23.

There were no large shipments executed in the second quarter. Airthings continued to experience challenging market conditions and order postponements in the commercial real estate market. Some clients reduced their real estate portfolios in the quarter. Nevertheless, the pipeline for large projects continued to grow and we maintain a positive long-term outlook for the segment.
US school districts are prioritizing healthy indoor air quality, representing significant business opportunities for Airthings. We are well positioned for several upcoming large tenders. Airthings was selected for deployment of IAQ sensors in 1,500 classrooms across 5+ school districts including Beverly Hills USD and Huntington Beach USD in the state of California in the second quarter. The company was also a finalist in a significant tender for one of the largest school districts in the United States, although this tender process ended with no bid awarded.
The number of devices in the field increased by 31 percent year-on-year in Q2 24, mainly driven by increasing demand from existing large enterprise clients. During the past half year, more than 23,000 monitors have been deployed across the global offices of a major enterprise client, significantly expanding Airthings' market presence.
Airthings, in collaboration with Energy Control, was selected in Q2 24 to install devices at the Radisson Blu Royal Hotel (Bergen, Norway), a UNESCO-protected heritage building, and at Telenor's headquarters outside Oslo. Airthings' partnership with Sony Network Communications and the integration on the NIMWAY platform resulted in a deployment of hundreds of sensors at a major financial institution in Norway.

The Professional segment
Revenues from the Professional segment reached USD 0.5 million in Q2 24, at the same level as the same quarter last year. Gross profit from the Pro segment was USD 0.5 million in the quarter, with a gross profit margin of 89 percent compared to 86 percent in Q2 23.

Operating expenses for the group came in at USD 7.1 million in Q2 24 and USD 14.7 million for the first half 2024, down 5% YoY from USD 15.4 million from first half 2023.

EBITDA came in at negative USD 1.7 million in the quarter and negative USD 3.5 million for the first half 2024.
Depreciation and amortization was USD 0.6 million in Q2 24 and USD 1.0 million in the first half of 2024, driven by depreciation of internally generated intangible assets and right-of-use assets for the period for leases recognized under IFRS 16 (see note 7).
EBIT came in at negative USD 2.2 million in Q2 24 and negative USD 4.5 million in the first half 2024.
Net financial items consist primarily of exchange rate fluctuations between USD and NOK, interest expense on the growth loan from Innovation Norway, and interest expense on the IFRS 16 lease liability.
Loss before taxes ended at USD 2.1 million in Q2 24 and negative USD 2.9 million in the first half 2024.
Tax income was USD 0.5 million in Q2 24 and USD 0.7 million for the first half 2024 (see note 8). This resulted in a net loss of USD 2.1 million in Q2 24 and a net loss of USD 2.9 million for the first half 2024.

Total assets at the end of Q2 24 were USD 58.3 million (end Q1 24: USD 60.0 million). Non-current assets made up USD 18.3 million (end Q1 24: USD 17.5 million), and current assets USD 40.0 million (end Q1 24: USD 42.5 million). Non-current assets mainly consisted of goodwill, intangible assets, deferred tax assets and right of use assets. Current assets were mainly made up of USD 11.2 million in cash and cash equivalents, inventories and trade receivables. Since 2023, inventories have fallen by USD 2.1 million due to the company's heightened focus on improving its working capital situation.

The book value of equity was USD 45.2 million at the end of the quarter (end Q1 24: USD 46.6 million). This equated to an equity ratio of 77.6% (end Q1 24: 77.6%)
Total liabilities were USD 13.1 million at the end of Q2 24 (end Q1 24: USD 13.5 million).
Non-current liabilities were mainly made up of the growth loan from Innovation Norway (see note 10) and lease liabilities recognized under IFRS 16.

Consolidated statement of cash flows
Total cash and cash equivalents balance decreased by USD 2.0 million from Q1 24 to USD 11.2 million.
Cash flow from operating activities
came in at negative USD 1.5 million in Q2 24 and negative USD 1.3 million in first half 2024 mainly driven by a loss before tax offset by positive working capital as a result of the company's heightened focus on improving its working capital situation as well as external financing.
Cashflow from investment activities
ended at negative USD 0.3 million in Q2 24 and negative USD 0.6 million in first half 2024 driven by capitalization development costs offset by interest on the growth loan from Innovation Norway.

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 June 2024 were authorized for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors on 20 August 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 proven challenging throughout both 2022 and 2023 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 reduce risk exposure. The investment climate also remain subdued in the Business segment. The Board continues to monitor the situation carefully to ensure appropriate measures are taken going into 2024.
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.

Airthings considers the relationship between our market capitalization and our book value, among other factors, when reviewing for indicators of impairment.

Note 13: Share-based payments
Employees of the Group receive remuneration in the form of share-based payment, whereby employees render services as consideration for equity instruments (equity-settled transactions). As at 30 June 2024, the Group had 10,401,789 outstanding options with a weighted average strike price of NOK 2.45. Reference is made to note 6.8 of Airthings' 2023 consolidated financial statements for a description of the Group' share option plans.
During Q2 2024, 17,307 share options were granted to employees under the Group's share option plan from 2023. The fair value of the options granted during the three months ended 30 June 2024 was estimated on the date of grant using the following assumptions:
| Weighted average fair values at the measurement date (NOK) | 1.07 |
|---|---|
| Dividend yield (%) | 0.00% |
| Expected volatility (%) | 51.71% |
| Risk–free interest rate (%) | 3.92% |
| Expected life of share options (years) | 2.50 |
| Weighted average share price (NOK) | 3.12 |
| Weighted average exercise price (NOK) | 3.10 |
| Model used | BSM |
YTD 2024, the Group has recognized USD 83 thousands of share-based payment expense in the statement of profit or loss (YTD 2023: USD 214 thousands).
As of 30 June 2024, the Group has recognized a social security provision for share-based payment of USD 99 thousands (30 June 2023: USD 74 thousands).
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 Group's cash position was 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 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 June 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 June 2024.

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) | Q2 2024 | Q2 2023 | 2023 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MRR | 359 | 334 | 348 |
| ARR | 4,306 | 4,012 | 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) | Q2 2024 | Q2 2023 | H1 2024 | H1 2023 | 2023 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | 8,733 | 7,457 | 18,244 | 16,208 | 36,592 |
| EBITDA | -1,663 | -2,734 | -3,506 | -5,940 | -6,832 |
| EBITDA margin | -19% | -37% | -19% | -37% | -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) | Q2 2024 | Q2 2023 | H1 2024 | H1 2023 | 2023 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | 8,733 | 7,457 | 18,244 | 16,208 | 36,592 |
| Cost of goods sold | 3,287 | 2,830 | 7,042 | 6,716 | 14,302 |
| Gross profit | 5,445 | 4,627 | 11,202 | 9,492 | 22,290 |
| Gross profit margin | 62% | 62% | 61% | 59% | 61% |
