CEO comment

The first quarter of 2022 was characterized by strong commercial performance with order intake reaching a new all-time-high for any quarter with NOK 120.7 million. This proves that the investments we made during 2021 to strengthen both commercial and operational capabilities now are paying off.

Still, the ongoing invasion of Ukraine and the energy crisis in Europe stands out as dark clouds during this quarter. Even though Cyviz has no direct or indirect business in Russia, we monitor the situation closely and our thoughts are with all who is suffering from this brutal and meaningless war.

With order intake at accelerating growth in six consecutive quarters, Cyviz is now at NOK 435m looking from a rolling 12-months perspective with coherent increasing backlog. As we have rightsized our operating expenses with applicable capabilities during the last 12 months, this has a short-term negative effect on EBITDA, but in line with previously communicated expectations.

We are still confident that 2022 will be the year we deliver a positive EBITDA result, and on that journey I am happy to see that our customer portfolio keeps increasing in diversity. That applies to both customer verticals and geography with the new contracts with GlaxoSmithKline in the APAC region as one of the highlights for the quarter. Our footprint within the government and defense-vertical is also expanding, and this quarter we signed several multi-million dollar deals to deliver high-end solutions for command and control rooms, crisis rooms and training centers.

During the quarter, we also entered into two new partnership agreements: Worksphere to accelerate our ability to scale our services in the Benelux region, and with global service provider DMS to expand our offerings towards Fortune 500-accounts across all our regions. Our partnership organization was established during 2021 and played an important role in the success we experienced with key accounts Microsoft and Accenture. With two new partnership logos this quarter, we strongly believe in the commercial growth to continue through 2022.

Revenue and gross profit

Cyviz reports revenues of NOK 69.5m in Q1, a growth of 22.1% compared to same quarter last year. The first quarter is a seasonal slow quarter compared to the rest of the year, but still this is the highest revenue Cyviz has reported in any Q1.

Looking at revenues from a rolling 12-months perspective, we are at NOK 335m after Q1 which is a year-over-year growth of 54% or NOK 117m.

The North American region continues to be our strongest region with regards to revenues and accounted for NOK 45.8m (66%) of the Group's revenues in Q1. The lion share of the underlying performance derived from the government and defense-segment, with a large ongoing project for installation of command & control room solutions for an undisclosed client, as well as the corporate segment driven by key customers KPMG, Microsoft and Accenture.

Gross profit was NOK 29.4m for the quarter corresponding to a 42.4% gross margin, negatively impacted by a one-off write-down of inventories of NOK 1.4m. This is a growth of NOK 4.5m compared to Q1 2021. On a rolling 12-months basis, Cyviz has a gross profit of NOK 147m after Q1 which is a growth of 47% (NOK 46.8m) compared to last year.

Order intake and order backlog

Order intake ended at NOK 120.7m in Q1, up from NOK 88m last year representing a growth of 37.2%. This is the highest order intake ever seen in a single quarter in Cyviz' history and is the fifth consecutive quarter in a row above USD 10m.

The strong performance was driven by customers within the corporate segment which made up 60% of the total bookings. We also continued expanding our footprint within the government and defensevertical and signed deal for a total worth of NOK 34m during the quarter.

Looking at order intake from a rolling 12 months-perspective, the Group is at NOK 435m after Q1 which is a year-over-year growth of 83%, or NOK 197m. Cyviz has a book-to-bill ratio of 1.74 in Q1 with a total backlog of 219.6m. The order backlog has increased with NOK 49.3m compared to last quarter, and with NOK 104.8m compared to Q1 2021.

EBITDA

EBITDA for the first quarter ended at -NOK 18.3m. This is down NOK 10.7m compared to same quarter last year, in line with our expectations and follows as a consequence of the ramp-up made in commercial, operational and corporate resources during last year.

As our operating expenses now are slightly below last quarter (NOK 47.7m versus NOK 48.3m in Q4 2021), we are confident that the growth initiatives made during 2021 have enabled us with the right capacity and capabilities to turn the increasing order backlog into profitable growth during 2022.

Cash flow

Cyviz had an operating cash flow of -NOK 16.4m in the quarter compared to -NOK 17.4m in the same quarter in 2021. Key changes compared to 2021 is higher loss before tax, but with a reduction in net working capital in Q1 2022 while we had an increase of NOK 9.4m last year.

During the first quarter of 2021, we reduced net working capital with NOK 2.6m driven by accounts receivables maintaining at the same level as in Q4 while a slight increase in inventories was mitigated by a positive change in accounts payables.

Investments in fixed assets was NOK 7.8m for the quarter with the lion share stemming from R&D and implementation of a new ERP system.

Financial position

Cyviz' total equity at the end of Q1 was NOK 98.5m, corresponding to an equity ratio of 48.9% (64.6%).

Interest bearing debt amounted to NOK 10m at the end of Q1 which has been the same amount since Q2 2020. This is a loan provided by Innovation Norway and is to be repaid over 7 years with the first installment starting in November 2022.

Cyviz' cash position was NOK 24.3m as of 31 March 2022. In addition, the company has a NOK 50m credit facility available for working capital financing.

Outlook

There has been a significant increase in people returning to work through Q1, and it seems to accelerate into Q2. This proactively forces companies and organizations to reimagine their workspaces to deliver on the requirements from their returning employees. We see a clear indication that enterprise application providers like Microsoft with their Teams Room Front Row version are providing a more superior experience for customers on platforms and solutions like ours.

Cyviz is seeing a clear trend that strategic customers like Microsoft and Accenture now starting to become both key customers as well as strategic partners taking Cyviz solutions out to a broader range of customers. This is a trend we have seen coming to life during last part of 2021, and we do expect to see more strategic customers coming into our partner portfolio going forward.

The 12-month rolling run-rate of order intake is continuing to grow substantially and we do expect that to continue through the year and into 2023. In combination with a large growth in

qualified and weighted pipeline during second half of 2021, with accelerating speed in 2022 ignited by our internal sales organization as well as our increased partner eco system, gives good confidence around consistent growth in orderintake and revenue going forward. Our pipeline has also become more diversified during the last 6 months across both geographies and verticals which indicates that the market demand is increasing across all 4 geographies we operate in.

The fear and uncertainty that is coming out of the terrible war in Ukraine has to some extent worked as a wakeup call for a lot of large companies around the world when it comes to the need of providing secure, reliable control rooms and cyber security centers.

Cyviz has during 2021 invested in people across sales, R&D and operations to build a platform for growth with sufficient operational capacity to secure the expected growth in delivery entering into second quarter and beyond. We do not expect to see the same increase in resources going forward as we aim to scale further through a larger and broader partnership model. The effect of the employee ramp-up in 2021 are funneling the accelerated growth we have in both orderintake and pipeline. The increase in order-intake and limited additional cost related to new hires will move the company in a direction of consistent positive development of the EBITDA.

Over time, Cyviz will continue to focus on expanding our footprint with large global fortune 1000 customers as well as regional and local customers across the world. We will continue to invest in the right sales talents to delight more customers with our standardized multipurpose collaboration solution while we are getting ready to launch our Easy Server platform in the cloud to provide customers our solutions as a service.

We are better positioned than ever to deliver on our ambition of being the best company in our industry for customers, partners, employees, and shareholders.

With increased scale and operational excellence, we reiterate the targets of annual revenue growth of 30% and an EBITDA–margin of 15-20% in medium–term perspective.
