CEO’s Statement
Strong margin lifts earnings
Net sales were SEK 248 million in the fourth quarter 2020, down by 4 percent year over year, but up by 20 percent on the third quarter of 2020. Operating profit excluding non-recurring items was SEK 73.1 million, equivalent to an operating margin of 29.5 percent. A high share of software revenue and cost rationalization in the year were contributors to the high margin. Others included lower selling expenses, due to travel restrictions and cancelled trade events. Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital was SEK 80.8 million. Our financial position remains stable, presenting us with opportunities to invest in growth segments.
Our largest product group, Network Solutions, is becoming more significant thanks to deals in telecom and cybersecurity. This product group represented 70 percent of total net sales in the fourth quarter and was positively impacted by new upgrade contracts in North America and Europe, as well as revenues from Aptilo, an acquisition completed on 1 October 2020.
Revenue from the Operating Systems product group was down by 28 percent in the quarter, as our Key Accounts progressively introduce open source products. This product group represented 18 percent of total net sales, a share that can be expected to keep declining.
The sales in software development services, which were 12 percent of total net sales in the quarter, were negatively impacted by the reduced demand that we have seen during the year from US aviation industry customers. Other customer segments in our service business were either stable or growing.
Aptilo exceeding expectations
Aptilo, acquired on 1 October 2020, contributed SEK 21.6 million of sales in the quarter, somewhat above estimates. A high share of recurring revenue and customers with growing capacity needs contributed to this positive result. In the fourth quarter, the Aptilo portfolio won awards for innovation in Internet of Things (IoT) and Smart Cities. We also signed a major contract with an EU authority for secure subscriber management in public Wi-Fi networks. We are delighted about this new deal, which will generate revenues over the next four years, and serve as a key reference for future business.

product portfolios and driving efficiency through our development and delivery processes. A new unit responsible for service provider sales is sharpening our focus on this key customer segment. Aptilo is being integrated as a separate business unit to ensure continuity for our customers and staff, as we simultaneously implement internal synergies and create new sales opportunities. Restructuring costs of SEK 8.7 million in tandem with implementing this new organization were taken in the fourth quarter of 2020.
New partnerships and collaborations
Enea’s sales model builds on a combination of direct and indirect sales. In the quarter, we signed a partnering agreement with US company Matrixx, a technology leader in telecom charging systems. We are both specialists in cloud-native software, and together, can deliver competitive solutions for 4G and 5G systems. Our ambition is for this new partnership to create more sales opportunities to new customers.
Outlook
Our mission is to be a world-leading supplier of software components for telecom and cybersecurity. The market for data management in 5G, virtualization, and advanced cybersecurity is entering an exciting phase, where we can challenge established competitors and win market shares with innovative products and new business models. Overall, our ambition is to increase revenue robustly through the coming years, with an operating margin of over 20 percent, through organic growth in Network Solutions, plus complementary strategic acquisitions that advance our market position. This ambition means us passing yearly net sales of SEK 1.5 billion by 2023.
Corona pandemic impacting the market
The current corona pandemic continues to cause delays to customer projects and investments, which has had a negative impact on our revenue. This applies to minor software upgrades as well as procurement of new systems like 5G. We expect these obstacles to persist as long as the corona pandemic exerts a significant impact on our core markets.
However, due to the corona pandemic, the short and mediumterm uncertainties are substantial. Its consequences will probably cause further delays in customer projects, and other negative effects on our businesses, risking impacting earnings through coming quarters. Despite these uncertainties, our target for 2021 is to create sales growth year over year, and an operating margin of over 20 percent.
A leaner organization, and sharper customer focus
In the fourth quarter, we created a more efficient organization, integrating responsibility for our telecom and enterprise solutions into two new business units. This is easing the integration of our

Revenue
Enea’s revenue in the fourth quarter amounted to SEK 252.3 million (260.8), consisting of Net Sales of SEK 248.0 million (258.0) and Other operating revenue of SEK 4.4 million (2.8). Net sales decreased by 4 percent, currency adjusted an increase by 1 percent.
Some of the acquisitions Enea has executed in recent years have a higher new business share, where individual contracts may be large in absolute terms, and with varying levels of recurring revenues. This means variations between individual quarters can occur.
Enea's offering is divided into three product groups: Network Solutions, Operating System Solutions and Software development services.
Network Solutions
Network Solutions includes products for mobile and fixed telecommunication and enterprise networks. These products are part of solutions for system vendors, and sold directly to network operators. The software enables the analysis, optimization and monetization of data traffic and services for users and connected devices. The segment includes products for the following applications:
-
Policy and access control - authentication of subscribers and traffic management based on subscription terms, i.e. authorization and access to various types of service.
-
Deep packet inspection – identification and classification of data traffic for the optimal use of available resources and enhanced network security.
-
Mobile data traffic management – ensuring high and consistent quality of various types of service based on data traffic, with a specific focus on video traffic.
-
Management of operators’ Wi-Fi services for enterprises and consumers with automatic and secure login based on SIM cards.
-
Cloud data management – large-scale processing of subscriber information, such as subscription terms, contract period and service usage.
-
Network function virtualization – products that enable new ways to build networks, where applications and software become hardware independent.
Network Solutions’ sales amounted to SEK 172.8 million (160.2) and increased by 8 percent in the quarter. The increase is mainly due to the acquisition of Aptilo that contributed with SEK 21.6 million. The organic growth was -5 percent (adjusted for currency an increase by 1 percent). This product group represented 70 percent (62) of total net sales in the quarter, and has growing strategic significance to Enea.
Operating System Solutions
Operating System Solutions (“OS Solutions”) includes software for real-time applications and network function virtualization. The former category is operating systems, i.e. software that enables the installation of applications on different computers

and platforms. Enea’s offering in this segment enables solutions that can be defined as follows:
- Operating systems – products that are often integrated components of systems, where reliability, performance and real-time operation are critical, for example mobile network infrastructure. The tools used for developing applications for Enea’s operating systems are often part of this business.
Sales in Operating System Solutions amounted to SEK 44.6 million (61.8) and were down by 28 percent in the quarter. The decrease is mainly driven by lower sales from key accounts, where sales decreased by 31 percent and was 75 percent (78) of sales for the product group. The decrease is expected and relates to key customers increasing the open source technology in their system solutions. The Operating Systems Solution product group represented 18 percent (24) of net sales in the quarter.
Software development services
Software Development Services (SW Development Services) provides consulting services and expertise for developing integrated systems and other high-end system solutions. Sales in Software development services amounted to SEK 30.5 million (36.1) and decreased by 15 percent in the quarter. The decrease is mainly due to lower sales from customers negatively affected by the corona pandemic. This product group represented 12 percent (14) of total revenue in the quarter.

Costs
Cost of goods and services sold
Cost of goods and services sold are costs that relate directly to delivery of the company’s production licenses, development licenses including support and maintenance, product-related services and software development services. These costs also include expenses associated with any third-party products and direct personnel costs related to the delivery of consulting services. Direct costs related to license sales normally represent less than 10 percent of sales prices, while costs for productrelated and Global Services normally account for 60 to 80 percent of sales prices. Enea also reports amortization of intellectual property rights, including acquired product rights and customer contracts, as well as capitalized product development expenses, as cost of goods and services sold.
In the fourth quarter 2020, Enea’s cost of goods and services sold was SEK 75.9 million (74.5), equivalent to a gross margin of 71.1 percent (72.2). The narrower gross margin relates mainly to an increase in depreciation and amortization and currency effects on working capital. Depreciation and amortization increased by SEK 8.3 million to SEK 24.1 million (15.8), an effect of acquisitions in recent year, and a write-off of SEK 2.2 million. Currency effect on working capital increased by SEK 2.0 million to SEK 4.8 million (2.8). For the full year, cost of goods and services sold amounted to SEK 293.1 million (273.7), equivalent to a gross margin of 69.5 percent (74.2).

Parent company
The parent company’s revenue for January-December amounted to SEK 43.3 million (77.6) and profit/loss before appropriations and tax amounted to SEK -37.7 million (-1.1). The parent company’s net financial income/expense was SEK 1.6 million (-1.3), and cash equivalents were SEK 0 million (1.7) at period end. The parent company’s investments in the quarter were SEK 0 million (0.5). The parent company had 15 (13) employees at the end of the period. The parent company does not conduct its own operations and its risks primarily relate to the operations of subsidiaries.
Employees
At the end of the quarter, the group had 659 (661) employees.
Repurchase of treasury shares
Enea repurchased no shares in the fourth quarter. Enea held 86,688 treasury shares at the end of the period, or 0.4 percent of the total number of shares.
No dividend proposed
Enea´s endeavor is to build a larger and stronger company that delivers growing value for customers, employees and shareholders. Acquisitions that strengthen our market position and long-term earnings ability, as well as continued investments in our product portfolio are key components of these efforts. To facilitate, and be well prepared for this type of acquisition, Enea needs a strong, but also flexible capital structure. On occasion, this may mean that the company is net leveraged. Accordingly, the Board of Directors needs to take the company´s long-term investment requirement and financial position into account when considering dividends. Enea´s long-term dividend policy is to transfer at least 30 percent of profit after tax to shareholders. However, the company´s financial position, cash flow, potential for acquisitions and future prospects can also be considered. Accordingly, with the potential for acquisitions and future prospects that the Board perceives for the coming years, it will not be proposing any dividend for 2020.
Annual General Meeting

Financial assets and liabilities
The group applies IFRS 13. This Standard requires disclosures regarding uncertainty in valuations on the basis of the three levels used for financial instruments.
Level 1: Fair value of financial instruments traded on an active market is based on listed market prices on the reporting date. A market is regarded as active if listed prices from a stock exchange, broker, industry group, pricing service or surveillance agency are readily and regularly available and if these prices represent actual and regularly occurring arm’s length market transactions. The listed market price used for the group’s financial assets is the current purchase price for corporate bonds. These are level 1 instruments.
Level 2: Fair value of financial instruments not traded on an active market (e.g. OTC derivatives are measured with the aid of valuation techniques). The group has currency derivatives, which are used for hedging purposes. Currency hedges are measured at market value by conducting an early allocation of the currency hedge in order to determine what the forward price would be if the maturity were at the reporting date. As of 31 December 2020, the group’s currency hedged amounted to a receivable of SEK 5.2 million, which is the total of level 2.
Level 3: The group does not report any financial instruments at level 3 as of 31 December 2020.
For other financial assets and liabilities, carrying amount is consistent with fair value.

Accounting policies
This Interim Report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, which is consistent with Swedish legislation by applying RFR’s (the Swedish Financial Reporting Board) recommendation RFR 1, Supplementary Accounting Rules for Groups, and RFR 2, Accounting for Legal Entities, for the parent company. The same accounting policies, definitions of key figures and computation methods have been applied as in the most recent annual accounts of the group and the parent company, unless otherwise stated below.
repaid. Aptilo is a leading provider of policy and access control solutions for carrier Wi-Fi and IoT (Internet of Things), headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden.

Financing, risks, long-term ambition & outlook
Financing
Enea has a SEK 70 million overdraft facility, of which SEK 36.2 million had been utilized at the end of the quarter. The terms and conditions of the overdraft facility include covenants regarding net debt/EBITDA, all of which were satisfied as of 31 December 2020.
Enea has three bank loans of SEK 80 million (raised January 2019), SEK 250 million (raised October 2019) and SEK 130 million (raised October 2020). The SEK 80 million loan is to be repaid after 2 years, with a 1-year extension option and the loan of SEK 250 million matures after three years. The SEK 130 million is to be repaid after three years. Interest accrues at Stibor 3M (with a floor) plus a market yield. The agreement stipulates covenants regarding the group’s net debt/EBITDA and EBITDA/financial expenses. These covenants were satisfied as of 31 December 2020. The remaining liability as of 31 December amounted to SEK 393 million.
Material risks and uncertainty factors
Dependency on Key Accounts is decreasing but remains high. These customers represented approximately 20 percent of the group’s revenues in the quarter and the trend for these revenues is declining.
The judicial investigation that has been ongoing in France since 2012, where Qosmos played a role as a witness, has now been closed with a decision to dismiss the case. The investigation covered a project in the Middle East, where Qosmos was one of the subcontractors. Qosmos’ involvement in the project was ended during the autumn of 2011, before the delivery was operational, due to the development of events in the region during that period. The outcome of the investigation is in line with the judgement made by Enea in relation with the acquisition of Qosmos 2016.
Enea is mainly active in cybersecurity and telecommunication, the latter being its largest market. The corona pandemic has a major negative impact on the global economy, which affect some customers’ risk appetites and willingness to invest. For Enea, this may mean some projects being delayed, or not being executed. Meanwhile, the underlying drivers of telecommunication, involving a continued focus on virtualization, 5G and increased network capacity, remain. One effect of the corona pandemic has been traffic volumes in networks increasing, as many students and business employees work from home. This effect is likely to be partly transient, even if more widespread usage of digital tools and remote working do become a permanent change.
Because there were no other significant changes to material risks and uncertainties in the quarter, the reader is referred to the review on pages 20-21 of the most recent Annual Report.
Long-term ambition
Our mission is to be a world-leading supplier of software components for telecommunication and cybersecurity. The market for data management in 5G, virtualization and advanced cybersecurity is entering an exciting phase, where we can challenge established competitors and win market shares with innovative products and new business models. Overall, our ambition is to increase revenue robustly through the coming years, with an operating margin exceeding 20 percent, through organic growth in Network solution, plus complementary strategic acquisitions that advance our market position. This ambition means us passing yearly net sales of SEK 1.5 billion by 2023. The operating margin will vary between quarters, tracking growth. Growth and earnings performance will vary during years and between quarters, primarily due to how individual transactions occur, and the progress of royalty streams.
Enea´s target for the full year 2020 was to achieve an operating margin above 20 percent, which was met with a full year margin of 24 percent, excluding NRI. The corona pandemic´s negative effects on the market affected the sales which decreased by 8 percent compared to previous year.
Outlook for 2021
Due to the corona pandemic, the short and medium-term uncertainties are substantial. Its consequences will probably cause further delays in customer projects, and other negative effects on our businesses, risking impacting earnings through coming quarters. Despite these uncertainties, our target for 2021 is to create sales growth year over year, and an operating margin of over 20 percent.

Enea’s people in many countries are affected by being unable to get to their usual workplaces. Essentially, Enea’s business can operate from people’s homes for a period. Enea has the tools to enable this with state-of-the-art communication solutions. Efficiency remains high but will, to some extent, be affected if restrictions on physical meetings continue. Contact with customers now also mainly takes place via different communication solutions, instead of physical meetings. Since the business has continued without significant interruptions, Enea has not received any major government support.
