Financial review

(Numbers for the corresponding period in 2020 in parentheses)

Cyviz reported consolidated operating income of NOK 323 million in 2021 (NOK 217 million). The Parent Company, Cyviz AS, reported operating income of NOK 206 million in 2021 (NOK 143 million). Order intake for 2021 was NOK 402 million (NOK 179 million), representing an increase of 124% compared to 2020. The increase in revenues and order intake is for a large part attributable to effects of investments made and initiatives taken early in 2021 in sales capacity, as well as strong partnerships and positions in high growth markets.

Cyviz reported a consolidated operating loss of NOK 31,5 million in 2021 (loss of NOK 19,5 million), whilst the reported operating loss for Cyviz AS was NOK 16,1 million in 2021 (loss of NOK 25,7 million).

The operating loss in 2021 is primarily a consequence of growth initiatives (mainly in sales capacity) whereby onboarding, sales cycle and delivery time leads to income lagging increased personnel costs. With the strong growth in order intake, it is fair to state that these initiatives so far seem to be paying off in line with expectations. 2020 was to a large degree influenced by COVID-19 which reduced Cyviz' ability to sell and deliver, but also required the Company to reduce costs. Although most regions continued to be adversely impacted by COVID-19 throughout 2021, the negative implications gradually normalized through the year.

Cyviz reported consolidated net financial income of NOK 2,8 million in 2021 (expense of NOK 13,8 million) primarily improved by a strengthened balance sheet and currency fluctuations. For Cyviz AS, reported net financial income was NOK 3,0 million in 2021 (expense of NOK 14,7 million).

Cyviz' tax expenses were NOK 1,1 million in 2021 (NOK 0,2 million). For Cyviz AS the tax expenses amounted to NOK 0,9 million (NOK 0,2 million). By end of 2021, the Group has NOK 159 million (NOK 143 million) of tax losses carried forward.

Cyviz reported consolidated net loss of NOK 29,8 million in 2021 (NOK 33,6 million). For Cyviz AS, the reported net loss was NOK 14,1 million in 2021 (NOK 40,6 million).

Cyviz reported a consolidated net cash flow from operating activities of NOK -22,1 million in 2021 (NOK -1,1 million). The main reason why the negative cash flow is higher than the EBITDA of NOK -14,8 million is an increased working capital by NOK 11,2 million which is related to the increased operational activity. Net cash flow from operating activities for the parent company was NOK -27,2 million in 2021 (NOK 2,7 million).

Consolidated net cash flow from investing activities amounted to NOK -25,2 million in 2021 (NOK -17,9 million). For Cyviz AS, the amount was NOK -21,9 million in 2021 (NOK -18,5 million). Investments in 2021 were mainly related to development of new technology and a new ERP-system for the Group.

For the Group and the parent company, Cyviz AS, net cash flows from financing activities was NOK 48,5 million in 2021 (NOK 58,7 million) arising from a directed share issue towards Karbon Invest AS in March 2021.

Total assets for the Group were NOK 218,2 million at the end of 2021 (NOK 173,3 million). Total assets for the parent company, Cyviz AS, were NOK 214,0 million at the end of 2021 (NOK 156,7 million).

The Group's total equity at the end of 2021 was NOK 123,0 million (NOK 106,3 million). Cyviz AS' equity was NOK 148,4 million at the end of 2021 (NOK 113,9 million).

The Group's cash and cash equivalents were NOK 48,5 million at the end of 2021 (NOK 47,4 million). The corresponding figure for the parent company was NOK 44,0 million at the end of 2021 (NOK 44,5 million).

By the end of 2021, the Group had net assets of NOK 38,5 million (NOK 37,4 million). The parent company, Cyviz as, had net assets of NOK 34,0m (NOK 34,5m).

In the opinion of the Board of Directors, the income statement and balance sheet give a satisfactory representation of the result in 2021 and for the financial position at year end 2021.

Going concern

The Company's Board of Directors have concluded that it is appropriate for the financial statements to continue to be prepared under the going concern basis of accounting. Pursuant to section 3-3 (a) of the Norwegian Accounting Act, it is confirmed that the conditions for assuming that the Company and the Group are a going concern are present, and that the financial statements have been prepared based on this assumption.

Research and development

The Group has in 2021 continued to invest in research and development (R&D). This activity primarily takes place at the headquarter in Sandnes, and in the subsidiary Cyviz Ltd. in Edinburgh (Scotland). A total of 14 employees work full time with R&D. In addition, external expertise is used when needed. In 2021, a total of NOK 17,8 million was invested in R&D, of which NOK 2,6 million was financed by subsidies from SkatteFunn.

The Company's ability to develop, renew and improve its products has been crucial to the growth in the Company in recent years and further focus on R&D is an important part of the Company's strategy.

Organization and staff

During 2021, Cyviz invested heavily in its organization and had a total of 147 employees at year-end, representing an increase of 57 employees compared to year-end 2020. The average number of full-time equivalent employees in 2021 was 128 for the Group including 69 in the parent company. All recruitments in Cyviz are controlled and quality checked, and onboarding programs are tailor made to reflect both a local and a Group perspective. Trainings are given in Cyviz' values, vision, and mission as well as key policies such as code of conduct, anti-corruption and relevant IT and data policies.

The health and well-being of Cyviz' employees is paramount to maintaining successful operations and to provide value to both customers and shareholders. The Company reported sick leave of 163 days in 2021, which corresponds to 0,41 % of total working hours. In 2021, no injuries occurred to personnel which then led to absence from work. The Board of Directors considers the working environment in the Company to be satisfactory.

Cyviz performs an annual satisfaction survey to oversee all employees' well-being and provides the opportunity to give feedback to the management. The results in 2021 were good with improved results in most areas compared to previous years. This is especially encouraging given the period of pandemic during 2021.

At the end of 2021, the Group had 26 female and 121 male employees. The corresponding figures for the parent company were 17 and 64 employees, respectively. The Board of Directors consists of one female and three male members. Cyviz has a non-discriminatory, fair and benchmarked wage and benefit structure. Group employees are treated in a nondiscriminatory manner.

Sustainability

Due to the nature of our proposition, offering a platform for seamless remote participation, collaboration and content management we are helping customers reduce carbon footprint and promote virtual engagement as a work form.

The Cyviz product portfolio and solution suite compensates for business travel and increases efficiency and the collaborative experience. Cyviz directly attributes to support the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG's) including SDG 9 Industry, Innovation & Infrastructure and SDG 13 Climate Action.

The scope of Cyviz driven ESG initiatives encompasses all aspects of the business, from procurement through to delivery covering both Cyviz supply chain and external partners.

As part of its downstream actions, Cyviz is consistently monitoring the lifecycle of our products and the solutions we deliver. A circular economy approach to further support the longevity of our solutions and ambition to reduce carbon footprint.

Risk management

The Company is exposed to different types of risk, including risk associated to currency, liquidity, profitability, interest rate, credit, HSE, cybersecurity and supply chain.

As part of our business model Cyviz is trading extensively with international customers across currencies. As a consequence, a significant proportion of the Company's assets and liabilities are nominated in foreign currencies. A strengthening of the NOK versus relevant foreign currencies may have a negative impact on the company's cash flow, results and equity. The Company has implemented a currency strategy to reduce risk with forward contracts hedging a significant part of expected net cash flow in USD 12 months forward.

Liquidity risk is related to whether the Company has sufficient capital to cover current obligations. The Group manages liquidity risk based on next 12 months' budget and quarterly updates to forecasts. The Company's interest-bearing debt consists of a longterm loan from Innovation Norway of NOK 10 million. In addition, the Company has an overdraft facility from DNB Bank ASA of NOK 50 million. There are various conditions attached to the overdraft facility with DNB Bank ASA, including that the value of the assets pledged as collateral for the credit facility must be above certain levels, as well as levels of operating profit and equity ratio. Liquidity risk is related to profitability. As further described in the Outlook section, there are strong underlying indications that the Company is on the path to profitability.

The Company is exposed to changes in interest rates based on interest-bearing debt and floating interest rates, currently the Company has a net cash position.

The Company's customers are mainly larger renowned customers. In addition, Cyviz uses various forms of credit facilities including hedging to reduce risk. Cyviz has not experienced increased losses or material changes in credit risk due to COVID-19.

The invasion of Ukraine by Russia in 2022 has increased the geopolitical risk in the market in general, as well as risks related to business operations, supply chain and cyber-security i. With respect to business priorities and focus from potential partners and customers, Cyviz is monitoring the situation closely. Contingency plans have been developed for different scenarios and The Company has increased monitoring and awareness related to cybersecurity. Cyviz has the health and safety of our people and our partners as a top priority.

Cyviz holds and maintains a Directors and Officers Liability Insurance on behalf of the members of the Board of Directors and Company officers. The insurance includes controlled subsidiaries and is issued by a reputable insurer and the coverage is considered as reasonable. The insurance covers personal legal liabilities including defence and legal costs for directors and officers of Cyviz AS and subsidiaries.

Outlook

In 2022, Cyviz will continue its focus on profitable growth. Growth and profitability are closely linked to economies of scale and the performance with respect to order intake is a strong indication that the investments made through 2021 in growth initiatives are paying off. We expect the increased order reserve to convert to profitable income in the coming quarters with a positive impact on the overall profitability for the Company.

The company expects the demand for Cyviz' solutions to continue growing across all regions and key verticals. A key driver is expected to be the return to a new normal post COVID-19. The increased demand for hybrid work, ease of use and manageability will require investments in multi-purpose digital solutions such as Cyviz. In addition, our customers are becoming increasingly aware of the need of scalability in their IT infrastructure, such as the ability to remotely monitor, manage and maintain solutions core to Cyviz products and solution. Standardized software is a prerequisite for remote upgrade, management and support to fulfill the required expectations with respect to user experience and cyber-security requirements.

Cyviz is perfectly positioned to capitalize on these rapidly growing market trends, with the shift towards cloud and solutions as a service (SaaS). Based on a unique and truly scalable technology platform, a global footprint, as well as a strong organization and culture showing ability to exceed customer expectations, the CEO and Board of Directors are confident that Cyviz is on the path of sustainable profitable growth.

Notes to the financial statements

Note 1 – General accounting policies

Basis for preparation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Norwegian Accounting Act and generally accepted accounting principles in Norway (NGAAP). The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis.

All amounts are presented in thousands of NOK (TNOK), unless otherwise clearly stated.

Group composition

In addition to the parent entity, Cyviz AS, the Group also includes the subsidiaries Cyviz LLC, Cyviz Ltd, Cyviz Pte Ltd and Cyviz Pty Ltd, incorporated in USA, UK, Singapore and Australia, respectively. In addition Cyviz Middle East AS was a separate subsidiary of the Group until it merged with Cyviz AS in 2020. The consolidated financial statements show these units as one single economic entity.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with uniform policies by converting the subsidiaries to the same principles as the parent company.

Classification of items in the statement of financial position

Assets intended for long-term ownership or use are classified as non-current assets. Assets associated with the normal operating cycle are classified as current assets. Receivables are classified as current assets if they fall due within one year. Analogue criteria are applied to liablilites. Non-current liabilities also includes next year's installments.

Foreign currency translation

The functional currency of the parent entity is NOK. For consolidation purposes, the results and financial positions of all the Group's entities that have a functional currency other than NOK are translated using the exchange rates prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Income and expenses are translated using monthly average exchange rates, this being a reasonable approximation for estimating actual rate. Exchange differences arising from this translation are recognized directly in equity.

Statement of cash flows

The cash flow statement is prepared using the indirect method. Interest recieved and paid is presented as cash flows from operating activities. Cash and cash equivalents consist entirely of bank deposits.

Adjustments following Q4 reporting

In connection with the preparation and audit of the annual financial statements, some discrepancies related to incorrectly classified project revenue (assets) have been identified. Consequently Accounts Receivable have been increased by TNOK 3 745 and Contract Liabilities have been increased by TNOK 3 745 compared to the reported annual figures in the Q4 report.

Note 2 – Intangible assets

Significant accounting policies

Expenditures on research and development are recognized as assets to the extent that they are part of projects generating identifiable intangible assets, of which future economic benefits can be attributed. Expenses related to projects not meeting theese criterias are charged to the income statement as they accrue. When there are indications of impairment, an estimate of value in use is calculated. An impairment loss is recognized in the income statement to the extent that carrying amount exceeds the value in use.

Capitalized development costs

The Group has capitalized TNOK 15 236 in connection with the development of its visualization technology in 2021. The work is mainly performed by Cyviz own employees in Sandnes, Norway and in the subsidiary Cyviz Ltd in Edinburgh, Scotland. Cyviz AS has all the commercial rights to the developed products. Annual depreciation is calculated and recognized in the income statement from the time when the products are fully developed and ready for commercial use.

Note 3 – Property, plant & equipment

Significant accounting policies

Property, plant & equipment are recognized in the statement of financial position at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The cost price of such assets is the purchase price including expenses directly attributable to the purchase of the asset. Expenditures incurred after the asset has been put into use, such as ongoing daily maintenance, are recognized as expenses in the period in which they were incurred, except for expenditures expected to generate future economic benefits that are recognized as a part of the asset. Leases for premises are treated as operating leases, with lease payments recognized as expense as they occur.

Note 4 – Government grants

Significant accounting policies

The group receives government grants in relation to its research and development activities. When such grants are received to carry out certain activities or compensate specific expenses, the grant is recognized in the income statement over the same period as the associated costs. Grants that compensate the group for the cost of an asset are deducted from the asset's acquisition cost when it is recognized in the statement of financial position.

SkatteFUNN

SkatteFUNN is granted by the Research Council of Norway and is received as a deduction in tax payable or a cash payment, to the extent there is no tax payable to deduct it from.

Cyviz AS has been granted SkatteFUNN for two projects related to its ongoing development activities. As these projects meet the criterias for recognition as assets, the grant is deducted from the acquisition cost. Refer to note 2 for further information about these development projects.

Note 5 – Receivables

Significant accounting policies

Accounts receivable and other receivables are recognized in the statement of financial position at face value, after deduction of expected loss. Provision for loss on receivables is estimated on the basis of an individual assessment of each receivable.

Note 10 – Provisions and other current liabilities

Significant accounting policies

Provisions and other current liabilities are mainly related to goods or services received, wages to employees or other expenses related to performed activities. Amounts that falls due within the next twelve months are classified as current liabilities and measured at nominal value. Provisions that falls due later than twelve months are classified as non-current and are discounted when the effect of this is considered material.

Non-current provisions

Note 11 – Interest bearing loans

Significant accounting policies

Non-current interest bearing loans are initially measured at face value, less admission costs, and subsequently measured at amortized cost. Differences between face value and carrying amount are amortized linearly over the period of maturity. As long as the Group are complying with the loan terms and the agreed maturity reaches beyond twelve months, interest bearing loans are classified as noncurrent liabilities. Next year's payments are included in non-current liability, and not presented separately. In the event of a breach of the loan terms, that enable the lender to demand immediate repayment, the liability is reclassified to current liabilities.

Overdraft facility

Cyviz has established an overdraft facility with a limit of NOK 50 million. The main lending term is that the drawn amount shall not exceed sum of 60% of accounts receivables, 50% of inventory, and a base of NOK 2.5 million. In addition, the equity ratio shall be minimum 40% measured yearly.

Innovation Norway

For the loan from Innovation Norway, an interest and installment exemption applies until November 2021 and November 2022, respectively. The loan is to be repaid over 7 years, with the first installment in November 2022. The loan carries an annual interest rate, currently at 4,1 %.

Pledged assets

Accounts receivable, fixed assets and inventories are pledged as security for the overdraft facility and the loan from Innovation Norway.

Note 15 – Income tax

Significant accounting policies

The income tax expense in the income statement includes the tax payable for the period and changes in deferred tax. Tax payable and deferred tax is calculated using tax rates and tax legislation that have been enacted at the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax is calculated on all temporary differences between tax base and amount recognized in the statement of financial position. In addition deferred tax is also calculated on tax loss carryforward at the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax assets are only recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be generated against which it can be utilized. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset them.

Basis for recognition of deferred tax asset

Based on an overall assessment of the group's historical earnings and the outlook for future taxable profits, the deferred tax assets were derecognized in 2019. There are no significant factors in 2021 indicating any need to change this assessment at the present time.

Note 17 – Events after the reporting period

The Russia-Ukraine conflict, which remains ongoing at the date of this report, has resulted in a rapidly evolving geo-political situation and introduced a new set of challenges. In order to mitigate the potential impact on the company's operation particularly in respect of potential interruptions of supply chains and cyber risk, Cyviz is monitoring international sanctions and trade control legislation closely and has enforced control mechanisms to manage the elevated security threats imposed to the industry.

The functional currency of the company is NOK, and all amounts are presented in thousands of NOK (TNOK), unless otherwise clearly stated.

Classification of items in the statement of financial position

Assets intended for long-term ownership or use are classified as non-current assets. Assets associated with the normal operating cycle are classified as current assets.

Statement of cash flows

The cash flow statement is prepared using the indirect method. Interest recieved and paid is presented as cash flows from operating activities. Cash and cash equivalents consist entirely of bank deposits.

Note 2 – Intangible assets

Significant accounting policies

Expenditures on research and development are recognized as assets to the extent that they are part of projects generating identifiable intangible assets, of which future economic benefits can be attributed. Expenses related to projects not meeting theese criterias are charged to the income statement as they accrue. When there are indications of impairment, an estimate of value in use is calculated. An impairment loss is recognized in the income statement to the extent that carrying amount exceeds the value in use.

Capitalized development costs

The company has capitalized TNOK 15 236 in connection with the development of its visualization technology in 2021. The work is mainly performed by Cyviz own employees in Sandnes, Norway and in the subsidiary Cyviz Ltd in Edinburgh, Scotland. Cyviz AS has all the commercial rights to the developed products.

Note 3 – Property, plant & equipment

Significant accounting policies

Property, plant & equipment are recognized in the statement of financial position at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The cost price of such assets is the purchase price including expenses directly attributable to the purchase of the asset. Expenditures incurred after the asset has been put into use, such as ongoing daily maintenance, are recognized as expenses in the period in which they were incurred, except for expenditures expected to generate future economic benefits that are recognized as a part of the asset. Leases for premises are treated as operating leases, with lease payments recognized as expense as they occur.

Note 4 – Government grants

Significant accounting policies

The company receives government grants in relation to its research and development activities. When such grants are received to carry out certain activities or compensate specific expenses, the grant is recognized in the income statement over the same period as the associated costs. Grants that compensate the group for the cost of an asset are deducted from the asset's acquisition cost when it is recognized in the statement of financial position.

SkatteFUNN

SkatteFUNN is granted by the Research Council of Norway and is received as a deduction in tax payable or a cash payment, to the extent there is no tax payable to deduct it from.

Cyviz AS has been granted SkatteFUNN for two projects related to its ongoing development activities. As these projects meet the criterias for recognition as assets, the grant is deducted from the acquisition cost. Refer to note 2 for further information about these development projects.

Note 5 – Investments in subsidiaries

Note 16 – Income tax

Significant accounting policies

The income tax expense in the income statement includes the tax payable for the period and changes in deferred tax. Tax payable and deferred tax is calculated using tax rates and tax legislation that have been enacted at the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax is calculated on all temporary differences between tax base and amount recognized in the statement of financial position. In addition deferred tax is also calculated on tax loss carryforward at the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax assets are only recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be generated against which it can be utilized. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset them.

Basis for recognition of deferred tax asset

Based on an overall assessment of the company's historical earnings and the outlook for future taxable profits, the deferred tax assets were derecognized in 2019. There are no significant factors in 2021 indicating any need to change this assessment at the present time.
