Interim Report, January – March 2020

A stable quarter without major new deals

January – March 2020

  • Total revenue amounted to SEK 226.8 (240.9) million, equivalent to a 6 percent decrease. Last year's revenue included SEK 20 million related to a settlement with a key customer.
  • Operating profit amounted to SEK 22.6 (62.2) million, corresponding to an operating margin of 10.2 (25.9) percent. Operating profit excluding non-recurring items, related to restructuring done, amounted to SEK 40.5 (65.7) million, equivalent to an operating margin of 18.3 (27.4) percent.
  • Earnings per share amounted to SEK 0.80 (2.14).

Significant events after period end

  • In April 2020, Enea announced a multi-year 5G deal worth USD 15-20 million with a leading North American operator.

  • The consequences of the coronavirus pandemic have caused delays to a few customer projects. Internal business has continued without any major disruptions, through digital channels and remote working. We see a risk of continued interruptions to customer projects and delayed investment decisions during the current pandemic, even if the market for telecommunication will most probably be less affected than the economy generally.

CEO's Statement

A stable quarter without major new deals

Enea's net sales in the first quarter were SEK 221.7 million, and operating profit before non-recurring items was SEK 40.5 million, equivalent to an operating margin of 18.3 percent. Most of Enea's business is stable, thanks to a high share of recurring revenues from software, which is critical to customers' continued operation of telecom and enterprise networks worldwide. However, the corona pandemic has caused some delays to individual projects and investment decisions. We anticipate that similar disruptions may occur as long as the pandemic is affecting our core markets.

Enea's cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital was SEK 43.9 million. The combination of strong cash flows and good liquidity, as well as low indebtedness (net debt/EBITDA = 0.58) mean we have good potential to cope with a period of greater uncertainty on the market.

Telecommunication – more important than ever

The consequences of the corona pandemic for people, businesses and countries remains hard to assess. However, we can humbly conclude that telecommunication is playing a more important role than ever in society. Many people are working from home using sophisticated communication and remote collaboration tools. Students have found new ways to study over the Internet. Video streaming and gaming services have seen increased use now that people are spending more time at home. Overall, this has created new traffic patterns and a sharp increase in traffic volumes, of up to 50 percent in some countries. Even if part of this increase will be lost when the corona pandemic is over, there is reason to expect that progress towards greater digitalization and communication will accelerate.

For Enea, these higher traffic volumes mean more usage of our software, and that some solutions like video optimization will be even more important to our customers for managing all the traffic in their networks. We have already received enquiries to increase capacity on some markets. In the short term, operators will focus on maintaining stable networks with minimal manual intervention. But in the longer term, it will only be possible to satisfy the need for capacity and new functionality with more frequency spectrum for mobile communication. That's why we think the rollout of 5G will continue, and we have decided to continue investments in 5G and cybersecurity.

Strategic 5G and data management contract

The strategic 5G contract that was signed in April with a leading North American operator is a very positive event. What's often referred to as the 'Network data layer' is an important part of the operator's core networks, and Enea's cloud software will be the backbone of all data storage that many other vendors' network functions integrate with. This contract enables revenues of USD 15-20 million over the next five years, as this customer rolls out 5G networks and its subscriber base expands. The contract has been signed in direct relationship between Enea and the operator - not

via any of our partners. It will be an important reference when other customers select suppliers over the coming years.

Effective adaptation of our company

With distributed and cloud-based IT tools for development and communication, we've succeeded in adapting the company to the prevailing situation, including those countries where we have major development centers. We are continuing to support customers remotely, developing and testing new products compliant with new market demands and standards.

In the quarter, we concluded the planned downsizing of staff in Sweden and Germany, a process generating non-recurring costs of SEK 18 million, somewhat above our previous estimates. This change gives us a more effective structure with fewer development centers and lower costs. We'll keep adapting our organization to business conditions, for example in our US service operation, where we anticipate lower demand for development consultants for the rest of the year.

Outlook

Our target of an operating margin over 20 percent remains. Uncertainty in the short and medium term has increased because of the corona pandemic. It's very likely that its after-effects will delay projects and otherwise have a negative impact on our business, which risks causing variations in earnings in forthcoming quarters. However, we still have a positive view of market prospects for software in telecom and enterprise networks. We see potential for our new solutions in virtualization, cybersecurity and 5G, which is why we are continuing our investments in product development and innovation for long-term organic growth. In addition, we are continuing our search for potential acquisitions that can strengthen our market position and long-term earnings capacity. Overall, we think that the consequences of the corona pandemic will have a negative impact on our sales in 2020.

ENEA


Revenue

Enea's revenue in the first quarter amounted to SEK 226.8 (240.9) million, consisting of Net Sales of SEK 221.7 million (240.1) and Other operating revenue of SEK 5.0 million (0.7). Net sales decreased by 8 percent, currency adjusted a decrease by 10 percent. Last year included a revenue of SEK 20 million related to a settlement with a key customer, as well as a few large deals.

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 Global Services.

Network Solutions

Network Solutions includes mobile and fixed telecom products, and enterprise networks. These products are part of solutions for system vendors, and also sold direct to network operators. Their functionality enables data traffic to be analyzed, optimized and monetized. 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.
  • Subscriber 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 increased by 4 percent in the quarter, positively affected by the Policy and Access control business that was acquired 1st of March 2019. This product group represented 61 (55) percent 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

Net sales (SEK m)

infrastructure. The tools used for developing applications for Enea's operating systems are often part of this business.

Sales in Operating System Solutions were down by 34 percent in the quarter. The decrease is mainly driven by lower sales from key accounts, where sales decreased by 41 percent and was 78 percent (88) of sales for the product group. Last year included revenue of SEK 20 million regarding a settlement from one of the key customers. The decrease for the product group, excluding the settlement, was 9 percent for the quarter. The decrease is due to key customers increasing the open source technology in their offering. The Operating Systems Solution product group represented 22 percent (31) 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 increased by 7 percent in the quarter. This product group represented 17 (15) percent of total revenue in the quarter.

Net sales per region and market segment

Enea reports sales by region: EMEA, the Americas and Asia. Enea has sales offices in Sweden, Germany, the UK, France, Austria, Romania, the US, China, Japan and India.

EMEA

The EMEA region includes sales of both software and services. Sale of software mainly consists of the key customers Ericsson and Nokia and telecom operators. Sale of services includes cybersecurity, telecom- and consumer industry. Sale takes place from offices in Sweden, Germany, Romania, France and the US.

Net sales in EMEA increased by 10 percent in the quarter year over year, driven of the acquired policy- and access control business (acquired 1st of March 2019).

Americas

The Americas region includes software and services sales. Software sales are mainly towards customers within the telecom industry, such as AT&T and Cisco. Service sales are to customers in several sectors including the aerospace industry.

Net sales decreased by 22 percent in the quarter year over year. The decrease is mainly due to the fact that first quarter 2019 included a couple of large orders, unlike 2020.

Asia

The Asia region includes customers such as Fujitsu and Hytera, and is basically managed from offices in China, Japan and Singapore.

Net sales decreased by 40 percent year over year in the quarter due to that no large orders were signed 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 Global Services. These costs also include expenses associated with any third-party products and direct personnel costs related to the delivery of consulting services.

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 first quarter 2020, Enea's cost of goods and services sold was SEK 79.2 (58.4) million, equivalent to a gross margin of 66.6 (76.0) percent. Costs increased mainly due to the acquired policy and access control business. The narrower gross margin relates mainly to a SEK 5.8 million increase in depreciation and amortization to SEK 16.6 (10.8) million, an effect of acquisitions in recent years, and restructuring costs of SEK 5.2 million. Gross margin excluding restructuring costs was 68.9 percent.

Operating costs

Operating costs are sales and marketing costs as well as product development costs and administration costs. The operating costs amounted to SEK 125.0 (120.3) million. Adjusted for MSEK 12.7 restructuring costs, the operating costs decreased by 4 percent from MSEK 116.8 (excluding non-recurring items) to MSEK 112.4 million, despite the fact that costs for the acquired policy and access control now includes a full quarter, compared to 2019. Costs for share-based incentive programs amounted to SEK 2.0 (4.7) million.

Sales and marketing costs

Sales and marketing costs include fixed and performance-related salary for the company's sales staff and costs associated with the company's marketing activities, such as participation at trade fairs, seminars, advertising and the Internet.

Product development costs consist of direct and indirect costs associated with management, development and testing of the company's software products, such as personnel costs and costs for development tools and IT environments. A proportion of the company's costs for new software product development is capitalized in the Balance Sheet, and is normally amortized over 36-60 months.

Total R&D investments in the first quarter 2020 were SEK 73.0 (57.1) million, of which product development costs recognized in the Income Statement were SEK 44.8 (38.1) million, corresponding to 20.2 (15.9) percent of revenue in the quarter. SEK 28.2 (19.0) million of product development costs were capitalized in the first quarter and restructuring costs amounted to SEK 10.4 million.

Administration costs

Administration costs comprise costs of management, the Board of Directors and Accounting function, including internal and external legal expenses and audit fees. In the first quarter, administration costs were SEK 25.0 (31.6) million, or 11.3 (13.2) percent of revenue for the quarter.

Other

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 March 2020, the group's currency hedged amounted to a liability of SEK 7.4 million, which is the total of level 2.

Level 3: The group does not report any financial instruments at level 3 as of 31 March 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.

INTERIM REPORT, JANUARY – MARCH 2020


Risks, long-term ambition & outlook

Material risks and uncertainty factors

Dependency on Key Accounts is decreasing, but remains high. These customers represented approximately 28 percent of the group's revenues in the quarter and the trend for these revenues is declining.

Enea has a SEK 70 million overdraft facility, of which SEK 19.9 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 March 2020.

Enea has two bank loans of SEK 80 million (raised January 2019) and SEK 250 million (raised October 2019). 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. 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 March 2020. The remaining liability as of 31 March amounted to SEK 330 million.

Effects of Covid-19

Enea is mainly active in cybersecurity and telecommunication, the latter being its largest market. The corona pandemic will probably have a major negative impact on the global economy, which may 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.

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.

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

Enea's ambition is to be a global software company with a strong and leading position in the markets we address, with annual revenue growth, high profitability and good cash flows. Organic growth will be the base of operations and Enea will work continuously to develop, streamline and optimize these operations. Strategic and complementary acquisitions will be screened regularly. Enea's goal is to maintain an operating margin of over 20 percent annually. 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.

Outlook for 2020

Our target of an operating margin over 20 percent remains. Uncertainty in the short and medium term has increased because of the corona pandemic. It is very likely that its after-effects will delay projects and otherwise have a negative impact on our business, which risks causing variations in earnings in forthcoming quarters. However, we still have a positive view of market prospects for software in telecom and enterprise networks. Overall, we think that the consequences of the corona pandemic will have a negative impact on our sales in 2020.
