CEO's Statement

Network Solutions—growing with new customers

Sales in the second quarter 2020 were SEK 239 million. Operating profit was SEK 59 million, equivalent to an operating margin of 25 percent. Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital amounted to SEK 87 million.

These numbers are backed by several signs of strength. Despite the corona pandemic causing delays to network projects and investment decisions by some customers, we report increased revenue in the Network Solutions product group. One of the reasons is that our business stands on a stable foundation of recurring revenue from a broad customer base. In addition, contracts with new customers generated extra revenue in the quarter. The two new 5G contracts with leading telecom service providers in North America and Germany were especially important and are expected to generate significant revenue over the coming five-year period, conferring us with a leading position on this market. Growth in Network Solutions is largely compensating for the decline of Operating Systems, where our Key Accounts are continuing their migration to open source-based products.

The strong operating margin in the quarter is due to the combination of a high share of software sales and an efficient cost structure. In the second quarter, we witnessed the full effect of the restructuring and cost saving actions we executed in the first quarter of this year. We will keep adapting our organization to business volumes with the objective of generating healthy margins.

We strengthened our financial position further, and have a higher equity ratio and lower net debt than the previous year, and previous quarters. This creates stability, and the scope to make future investments.

Strategic 5G deals

We've been selected to deliver 5G data management software for two of the world's largest operators, based in North America and Germany. We won these contracts in fierce competition with several major system vendors, thanks to our unique solution for data management in 5G networks. We expect these new 5G contracts to generate substantial revenue over a five-year period as project milestones are achieved and the 5G subscriber base expands. Our new products are compliant with the standalone (5A) 5G standard. A survey in the spring revealed that 37 percent of responding operators plan to launch 5G SA networks over the next two years. Our 5G contracts in North America and Germany will be important references for future business with new customers.

Video traffic setting increased demands on telecom networks

Continuing traffic expansion on mobile networks is persuading many operators to invest in sophisticated video optimization

img-0.jpeg

solutions to enhance user experiences, and tailor traffic to available network capacity. One of our customers is Vodafone Ireland, which thanks to our video optimization technology, has realized clear network performance improvements. Zain Kuwait is another telecom operator that selected our video optimization software platform. In the same region, one Egyptian customer has recently placed an order for a new traffic management solution, which it will start installing in the second-half-year this year. I'm delighted to see our customer base expanding, and we continue to invest to consolidate our market leadership in video optimization.

Traffic intelligence—crucial for cybersecurity

Traffic intelligence is a core technology across a raft of different applications including sophisticated cybersecurity solutions, enabling rapid threat detection and response. We have a broad customer base in this segment, and are continuing to secure new customers, one example being German company Genua, which has selected Enea as a vendor in competition with other specialists in this segment. The business model of this agreement, like most of our contracts, is based on revenue that grows as customers succeed and the usage of our software increases.

Outlook

Our target of an operating margin over 20 percent remains. Uncertainty in the short to medium term has increased because of the corona pandemic. Its after-effects are very likely to continue to delay projects and impact our business negatively in other ways, risking fluctuations in our earnings over forthcoming quarters. We still take 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 maintaining 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. However, overall, we do believe that the consequences of the corona pandemic will have a negative impact on our sales in 2020.

ENEA


Revenue

Enea's revenue in the second quarter amounted to SEK 241.2 million (260.2), consisting of Net Sales of SEK 239.0 million (249.4) and Other operating revenue of SEK 2.2 million (10.8). Last year's Other operating revenue included a R&D grant of SEK 6.1 million. Net sales decreased by 4 percent, currency adjusted a decrease by 5 percent.

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, fixed, and enterprise networks. These products are part of solutions for system vendors, and also sold direct to network operators. The software 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 amounted to SEK 159.5 million (153.2) and increased by 4 percent in the quarter, positively affected by new customer contracts. This product group represented 67 percent (61) 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.

img-1.jpeg
Net sales (SEK m)

Sales in Operating System Solutions amounted to SEK 44.2 million (58.9) and were down by 25 percent in the quarter. The decrease is mainly driven by lower sales from key accounts, where sales decreased by 29 percent and was 74 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 35.3 million (37.3) and decreased by 5 percent in the quarter. The decrease is mainly due to lower sales from customers negatively affected by the corona pandemic. This product group represented 15 percent (15) 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 product-related 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 second quarter 2020, Enea's cost of goods and services sold was SEK 73.5 million (68.4), equivalent to a gross margin of 70.2 percent (76.9). The narrower gross margin relates mainly to an increase in depreciation and amortization, currency effect on working capital and last year's R&D grant. Depreciation and amortization increased by SEK 3.5 million to SEK 17.2 million (13.7), an effect of acquisitions in recent year, and currency effect on working capital by SEK 4.1 million to SEK 5.2 million (1.1). Last year's Other operating revenue included a R&D grant of SEK 6.1 million, which had a positive effect on gross margin. For the period, cost of goods and services sold amounted to SEK 152.7 million (126.8), equivalent to a gross margin of 68.4 percent (76.5).

Operating costs

Operating costs are sales and marketing costs as well as product development costs and administration costs. The operating costs amounted to SEK 108.6 million (119.7) in the quarter and SEK 233.6 million (240.1) in the period. Costs for share-based incentive programs amounted to SEK 6.3 million (2.2) in the second quarter and SEK 8.2 million (7.0) for the period. Restructuring costs amounted to SEK 1.3 million in the quarter and SEK 19.2 million in the period.

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. Sales and marketing costs were SEK 54.3 million (51.1) in the second quarter, or 22.7 percent (20.5) of net sales in the quarter. For the period, sales and marketing costs were SEK 109.6 million (101.7), or 23.8 percent (20.8) of net sales for the period.

Product development costs

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 second quarter 2020 were SEK 60.0 million (65.6), of which product development costs recognized in the Income Statement were SEK 29.1 million (44.5), corresponding to 12.2 percent (17.8) of net sales in the quarter. SEK 132.9 million (122.7) was invested in the period, of which product development costs recognized in the Income Statement were SEK 73.9 million (82.6), corresponding to 16.0 percent (16.9) of net sales. SEK 30.9 million (21.1) of product development costs were capitalized in the second quarter and SEK 50.1 million (40.1) were capitalized in the period.

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 second quarter, administration costs were SEK 25.2 million (24.2), or 10.5 percent (9.7) of net sales for the quarter.

INTERIM REPORT, JANUARY – JUNE 2020


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 30 June 2020, the group's currency hedged amounted to a receivable of SEK 0.6 million, which is the total of level 2.

Level 3: The group does not report any financial instruments at level 3 as of 30 June 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.

Risks, long-term ambition & outlook

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.

Enea has a SEK 70 million overdraft facility, of which SEK 52.3 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 30 June 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 30 June 2020. The remaining liability as of 30 June amounted to SEK 296.5 million.

Effects of the corona pandemic

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 to medium term has increased because of the corona pandemic. Its after-effects are very likely to continue to delay projects and impact our business negatively in other ways, risking fluctuations in our earnings over forthcoming quarters. We still take a positive view of market prospects for software in telecom and enterprise networks. However, overall, we do believe that the consequences of the corona pandemic will have a negative impact on our sales in 2020.
