Cash flow from operations is in line with expectations at mNOK -9.5 for the quarter.
The development is in line with management expectations and guidance, and we see increased demand for our software in multiple verticals.
Highlights from Q3 2021:
• Signed three new license agreements with current smartphone customers Xia-omi, Honor, and Black Shark

• Launched with the world’s second-largest smartphone company, Xiaomi
• Announced collaboration with Maxime Integrated, Inc. to deliver lower-power sensing features
“In Q3, demand for our AI Virtual Smart Sensor Platform™ continued to strengthen as new and current customers chose to integrate and expand the use of our technology in their mass-volume product portfolios. Elliptic Labs signed several substantial new license agreements with current smartphone customers, as well as a solid enterprise license agreement with one of the top-three global PC manufacturers. We see accelerated interest in our unique platform solution to replace hardware sensor due inherent benefits of our core value proposition,” said CEO Laila Danielsen. “We have continued to hire globally to capitalize on market demand, and we are confident we will continue to execute our customer contracts successfully. We maintain close collaborations with our partner ecosystem, building our pipeline, signing more Proof-of-concept projects for technology qualification and having a strong focus on converting these into license agreements. We have a unique technology platform and are well-positioned for growth.”
We re-confirm our 2021 expectations, which are based on the robust demand for our AI software platform particularly across the smartphone and PC markets. We are excited about the opportunities ahead and confident in our long-term strategy as we continue to execute and scale with current and new customers.
