CEO's comments
As expected and communicated earlier, sales in the second quarter were negatively impacted by continued insufficient access to production capacity among the major semiconductor manufacturers. The geopolitical situation has led to increased domestic demand for silicon chips from Chinese smartphone manufacturers, which means that there is a production capacity deficit. At the same time, demand for our sensors remained healthy, despite declining deliveries of smartphones in China during May and June. The proportion of mobile phones with fingerprint sensors has continued to increase. In the mid-price segment, nearly all models sold have a fingerprint sensor and the penetration rate in the low-price segment continues to develop positively.
The gross margin was a percentage point lower than in the corresponding period in 2019, primarily due to higher purchase prices, and the earnings level is not satisfactory. At the same time, it is gratifying that cash flow from operating activities was strong during the quarter. We have continuously improved our inventory management and generally improved working capital.
We expect that the outbreak of the coronavirus will dampen the demand for smartphones for the remainder of the year. Consumers are waiting ever longer to replace their devices and, accordingly, the replacement cycle for mobile phones is expected to be of record-breaking length this year. This means that the global smartphone market could shrink by 10–20 percent in 2020.
At the same time, there has been a clear upswing in contactless payments in the wake of the pandemic because consumers want to avoid touching surfaces in public environments as far as possible. This could lead to an acceleration in the roll-out of biometric payment cards, since the increased security offered by fingerprint authentication makes it possible to eliminate payment caps that currently apply to contactless card payments. Accordingly, the banks can offer their customers a secure and easy way of paying, regardless of the amount. Already prior to the outbreak of the pandemic, we saw increased activity in the market and in June, the French bank BNP Paribas announced its plans to launch a biometric payment card in the autumn of 2020, using technology from Fingerprints. Several other banks are preparing commercial launches. This means that biometrics is now seriously on its way to making its debut in another global mass market and Fingerprints' complete hard and software solution for biometric authentication in the payment area gives us a very strong starting point. This is illustrated by our technology being used in all 21 of the market tests announced to date of contactless biometric payment cards and in the world's first commercial launch. We have well-established cooperation with the leading players along the value chain, with card manufacturers and their subcontractors, manufacturers of secure chips, payment systems and card issuers. We are continuing to strengthen our position and develop our strategic partnerships, for example, through the recently announced partnership with STMicroelectronics to develop an advanced system solution for biometric payment cards.
The pandemic has also led to a strong increase in remote working, which can often involve increased IT security risks. By combining security, flexibility and convenience, biometric solutions can facilitate secure access to devices and data, regardless of where an employee is located. The growth opportunities are positive throughout the Access area and we continued to expand our portfolio for biometric access control during the quarter.

EBITDA for the quarter totaled SEK 6.7 M (44.0).

Financial income and expenses
Net financial items amounted to an expense of SEK 21.6 M (expense: 3.9). The item pertains primarily to the effect of unrealized changes in exchange rates on currency accounts.
Earnings and earnings per share for the reporting period

Cash flow and balance sheet
Cash flow
Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 81.3 M (179.6).

Cash flow from financing activities amounted to a negative SEK 88.8 M (-), mainly attributable to the buyback of shares amounting to SEK 83.6 M during the second quarter.

Exchange-rate fluctuations had a negative impact of SEK 21.4 M (neg: 3.5) on cash and cash equivalents during the quarter. Most of the company's cash holdings are consist of USD and the exchange-rate fluctuations are largely a result of a weakening of USD in relation to SEK during the quarter.

Other events during the second quarter of 2020
Business Development
During the second quarter of 2020, several mobile devices featuring Fingerprints' sensors were
launched, including the Moto G8 Power, LG K41S and LG K61 with FPC1520, and Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro and Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro Max with FPC1540. In addition to this, a smart door lock from Kaadas and a Chromebook from HP were launched with sensors from Fingerprints. It was also announced during the quarter that Fingerprints' iris recognition technology is being used in an access control system that CMITech has implemented at a South Korean hospital.
To meet the demand in the growing market for biometric access control, Fingerprints expanded its product portfolio intended for physical and logical access control during the quarter. To enable maximum flexibility in product design, the new FPC1025 sensor

Fingerprints' iris recognition technology is used in an access control system that CMITech implemented at a South Korean hospital.
version is smaller than the other models in the series and is optimized for devices in which millimeters count.
At the beginning of July 2020, it was announced that Fingerprints and STMicroelectronics had entered a partnership to develop an advanced biometric payment card system solution, Biometric System-on-Card (BSoC).
Significant events during the second quarter of 2020
On May 27, 2020, it was announced that the Board of Directors, based on the authorization by the Annual General Meeting held on May 26, 2020, had decided to acquire own shares. The reason for the repurchase of shares is, among other things, to adapt and improve the

company's capital structure by reducing the capital, thereby creating additional shareholder value. For more information, see below under "Share capital trend."
Organization and Personnel
The number of employees at June 30, 2020, was 235 (209).

Accordingly, including employees and consultants, the company had a total of 269 (253) staff on June 30, 2020.
Share capital trend
The number of shares amounts to 313,967,675, of which 6,000,000 are Class A shares and 307,967,675 are Class B shares. The total number of votes is 367,967,675. On May 27, 2020, it was announced that the Board of Directors, based on the authorization by the Annual General Meeting held on May 26, 2020, had decided to acquire own shares.
