CEO's comments
I am pleased with the strong increase in sales: +74 percent in comparison with the first quarter of 2023 (73-percent increase in constant currency terms). The significant sales increase was predominantly attributable to a bounce-back in our mobile business, as anticipated. PC also contributed to the healthy revenue growth, while sales in Payment and Access came in weaker this quarter.
I am also happy that we made significant progress in terms of reducing our excess inventory, with a positive effect on our cash position, which grew by 20 percent, to SEK 252 M, since the end of Q1. However, we are still facing intense price competition within Mobile, since our inventory levels and those of other sensor suppliers remain too high. We anticipate a return to more normal levels during the fourth quarter, but it could take even longer before the entire industry achieves balance. We do note that the number of suppliers participating in largescale procurement processes has recently declined, which could be a sign of increased consolidation in the industry, which would be beneficial for us. I am pleased with the fact that we defended our market share in Mobile during the quarter.
Lower sales in the Payment and Access areas in the second quarter also impacted negatively on our gross margin. Revenue development in both Access and Payment tends to be more uneven and can fluctuate in the short term, since these industries are fragmented and more immature regarding the use of biometric solutions. Having said this, our view of the longer-term trend in demand in these areas remains positive. During the quarter, we announced that we had received our largest order to date from an Access customer outside Asia, for more than USD 1 M. This demonstrates the positive trend that we see in this market, particularly outside Asia.
We recently announced the establishment of a new organizational unit – New Business – under the leadership of Thomas Rex, Executive Vice President New Business. This unit is charged with developing new business and driving revenue growth, with a particular focus on the following four areas: New Partners, add-on acquisitions, Automotive, and Monetizing intellectual property rights (IPR). We are very excited about the work that Thomas drives, as we see significant new application areas and monetization opportunities for the company and we look forward to talking more about these initiatives in the near future.
Finally, on July 16, we announced that we have secured new financing amounting to at least SEK 340 M with an option to increase up to SEK 430 M, and that we have decided on an early redemption of the company's outstanding bond loan of SEK 300 M. This significantly improves the company's financial position, improving our ability to execute on our growth plans.
Ted Hansson, interim President and CEO

"We continued to reduce our inventory at a more rapid pace, with a positive effect on cash flow."

Revenues and operating result, second quarter of 2023
Revenues
The Group's revenues for the second quarter amounted to SEK 203.3 M (228.1), corresponding to a decrease of 11 percent compared with the second quarter of 2022 (decrease of 16 percent in constant currency terms). Compared with the preceding quarter, sales increased by 74 percent, driven by increased sales in the Asia operating segment (formerly Mobile & PC). At the same time, sales declined within the Rest of World segment (formerly Payment & Access). Our view of the demand trend going forward in this segment remains positive, but revenue development within the Access and Payment product groups tends to be more uneven and sensitive to economic fluctuations, since these industries are more immature when it comes to the use of biometric solutions. During the second quarter, we continued to reduce our inventory at a more rapid pace, with a positive effect on cash flow. Inventory amounted to SEK 203 M at the end of the second quarter, compared with SEK 274 at the end of the first quarter. Our order stock continued to develop well and the value at the end of June was higher than a quarter ago.

Revenues and gross margin, rolling 12 months
Trend in operating profit
Gross profit for the second quarter was SEK 26.6 M (70.9) and the gross margin was 13.1 percent (31.1). The gross margin was negatively impacted by particularly strong price pressure within Mobile due to continued destocking measures, at the same time as sales in Payment & Access, where selling prices are significantly higher, performed more weakly this quarter. The operating result for the second quarter was a negative SEK 75.7 M (neg: 12.2). Operating expenses amounted to SEK 102.3 M (83.1).
Development costs of SEK 12.5 M (23.4) were capitalized during the quarter, corresponding to 32.7 percent of total development costs, compared with 41.3 percent for the corresponding


quarter of 2022. Other operating income/expenses decreased to negative SEK 1.0 M (pos: 21.7) and pertain to exchange-rate fluctuations attributable to operating working capital.
EBITDA for the quarter amounted to a negative SEK 57.7 M (pos: 6.5), and comprised the operating result of negative SEK 75.7 M plus depreciation/amortization of SEK 18.0 M in the quarter.
Operating segments
Fingerprints reports results for the Asia operating segment (formerly Mobile & PC), the Rest of World operating segment (formerly Payment & Access) and as of this quarter, New Business. This unit was established for the purpose of accelerating the diversification of Fingerprints' revenues, with a particular focus on four areas: the automotive industry, new partners, M&A, and the monetization of intellectual property rights.
See the table on page 15. An operating segment is a part of the Group that conducts activities from which it can generate revenue, incur costs and for which independent financial information is available. Each segment has a manager who is responsible for the day-to-day operations and who regularly reports the results for the segment to the CEO. Sales are organized into the four product groups: Mobile, PC, Payment and Access. The Asia operating segment (formerly Mobile & PC) includes revenue from the Mobile and PC product groups, as well as the part of the Access product group attributable to Asia. In the Rest of World operating segment (formerly Payment & Access), revenue is included from the Payment product group and the part of the Access product group attributable to the geographic areas outside Asia. The company believes that this renaming of the operating segments, combined with expanded reporting of sales per product group (see below), increases transparency.
Product groups
With effect from the interim report for the first quarter, sales are also reported based on the four product groups: Mobile, PC, Payment and Access. Refer to the table on page 16.
Financial income and expenses
Financial income amounted to SEK 1.3 M (8.7). This item pertains to interest income on bank balances. The figure for the preceding year pertains to the effect of unrealized exchange-rate gains on bank balances.

Financial expenses amounted to negative SEK 10.2 M (neg: 6.3). Expenses for the quarter pertained primarily to interest on the bond loan and the effects of unrealized exchange rate losses on bank balances.
Earnings and earnings per share for the reporting period
The result for the second quarter of 2023 was a negative SEK 76.2 M (neg: 9.5). Earnings per share for the second quarter were a negative SEK 0.18 (neg: 0.03).
Cash flow and balance sheet, second quarter of 2023
Cash flow
Cash flow from operating activities was SEK 52.4 M (neg: 28.3). The positive cash flow was mainly attributable to lower tied-up working capital due primarily to a reduction in the company's inventory levels during the quarter.
Cash flow from investing activities amounted to a negative SEK 11.9 M (neg: 20.1), of which capitalized development expenditure accounted for SEK 12.5 M (19.4).
Cash flow from financing activities was negative SEK 3.2 million (neg: 3.7) and pertained to leasing fees on leased premises.
Exchange-rate fluctuations had an impact of SEK 4.2 M (9.8) on cash and cash equivalents during the quarter.
Liquidity and shareholders' equity
At June 30, 2023, the Group's disposable cash and cash equivalents totaled SEK 252.4 M (212.8), and the Group's net debt amounted to SEK 60.4 M on the same date (96.5). Interestbearing liabilities comprise the bond issued in December 2021 of SEK 300 M (300) and lease liabilities pertaining to office premises of SEK 17.6 M (16.8), recognized in accordance with IFRS 16.
The company has senior secured bonds in an amount of SEK 300 M, with a three-year tenor and at a floating rate of interest of Stibor 3 months +9 percent per year. In the balance sheet, the loan has an effective value of SEK 295.2 M.
At period-end, consolidated shareholders' equity amounted to SEK 746.6 M (1,082.9) and the equity/assets ratio for the Group to 56.7 percent (62.7). Other comprehensive income in the second quarter amounted to negative SEK 45.5 M (60.6), and included the remeasurement of shareholders' equity in foreign currencies, the majority of which is attributable to USD.
Investments, fixed assets and depreciation/amortization
Investments in intangible fixed assets during the quarter amounted to an expense of SEK 12.5 M (expense: 19.6). Investments in tangible fixed assets for the quarter amounted to an expense of SEK 0.1 M (expense: 0.5). Depreciation/amortization according to plan for the quarter totaled SEK 18.0 M (18.6). Financial fixed assets pertain to deferred tax of SEK 152.0 M (64.3).

Cash and cash equivalents and cash flow from operating activities, SEK M
Comments on the period January-June 2023
The Group's revenue for the period January–June 2023 totaled SEK 320.3 M (528.3), corresponding to a decrease of 39 percent compared with the year-earlier period. The period was characterized by intense price competition and lower volumes compared with the preceding year. The demand for smartphones and computers was subdued, while inventory levels for us and our competitors remained too high, which led to strong price pressure during the period. Order bookings were very weak at the beginning of the year, but have successively improved.
Gross profit for the period January–June 2023 was SEK 46.9 M (132.1) and the gross margin was 14.7 percent (25.0). The reduced sales volumes, combined with increased price competition within the Mobile product segment, had a negative impact on profitability.
Cash flow from operating activities for the period was SEK 10.1 M (neg: 118.6). The positive cash flow was mainly attributable to the reduction of inventory, as well as reduction of current receivables and an increase in current liabilities.
At June 30, 2023, the Group's disposable cash and cash equivalents totaled SEK 252.4 M, compared to SEK 212.8 M in the second quarter of 2022. At June 30, 2023, the Group's net debt totaled SEK 60.4 M, compared to SEK 43.2 M in the second quarter of 2022.
Other events during the second quarter of 2023
Business Development
During the quarter, Fingerprints became the first biometrics company to be accepted as a member of the World Economic Forum's (WEF) New Champions Community. The company will use its membership for such purposes as sharing knowledge of how biometric technology can be used to create intuitive solutions that make authentication more convenient and more secure.
During the quarter, Fingerprints announced that the company had received its largest order to date from an Access customer outside Asia of more than USD 1 M. This order demonstrates the positive trend that the company sees in this market, particularly outside Asia.
During the quarter, we continued to grow rapidly in PCs, despite continued dampened global demand for computers. Fingerprints has long had a leading position on the market for fingerprint sensors in Chromebooks, while four of the world's six largest PC manufacturers already integrate our technology into their products. Compared with the preceding quarter, sales increased by 63 percent in PCs, and by 56 percent in relation to the year-earlier period. Our assessment is that we will continue to increase our market share, while the share of new computer models equipped with fingerprint sensors continues to rise. We foresee continued favorable growth potential and we continue to strengthen our market offering, not least through the development of our own microcontroller unit (MCU). We continued to make positive progress within the framework of this project during the second quarter and will shortly be able to offer our customers a complete biometric system, comprising a fingerprint sensor and an MCU. This entails that we will be able to deliver better overall system performance while optimizing costs and strengthening our control of the supply chain.
To date, Fingerprints' sensors have been used in more than 700 mobile phone models. The 700th product, Xiaomi Redmi K60, is the first telephone to integrate Fingerprints' recently launched optical underdisplay sensor. The recently launched Google Pixel Fold is also included on the list. We now have a high level of activity in the under-display area, and are conducting several different projects together with our largest customers. Our entry into the under-display segment signifies a significant expansion of our addressable market and our goal is to capture a considerable share, while we shall also remain one of the world-leading players in capacitive sensors.
As previously communicated, Fingerprints has delivered more than a million T-Shape sensor modules for biometric payment cards to date. This reflects the strength in our collaboration with customers and partners throughout the value chain and means that we are well-positioned ahead of future launches of biometric cards. Our view of the long-term potential in biometric payment cards remains positive. At the same time, we observe a slowdown in the pace of commercial launches. As a result of this, we will reallocate development resources and investments for the time being to areas in which we see better growth opportunities in the short and medium term, not least to PCs.
Significant events during the second quarter of 2023
No significant events were reported during the quarter.
Significant events after the end of the period
On July 3, 2023, Fingerprints announced that Adam Philpott was appointed as new President and CEO. He will assume his new role on September 1, 2023, and will also remain a Board member of Fingerprint Cards AB after assuming his position as President and CEO.




On July 16, 2023, Fingerprints disclosed that the Board has decided on an early redemption of the company's outstanding bond loan of MSEK 300 through a new financing amounting to at least MSEK 340 with an option to increase up to MSEK 430. As a result of the challenging market in which the Company has operated since Covid-19, the outstanding bond loan has limited the Company's financial flexibility and opportunity to invest fully in the growth segments. As the Company now proactively chooses to carry out an early redemption of the outstanding bond loan, the bond loan's restrictive covenants no longer apply. This will enable an increased investment in the growth segments, an improved gross margin and thus also profitability.
Organization and Personnel
The number of employees at June 30, 2023, was 210 (258). In addition to full-time employees, consultants were also engaged during the second quarter, corresponding to 31 FTEs (45), mainly in technology development and sales. Accordingly, including employees and consultants, the company employed a total of 241 (303) FTEs on June 30, 2023. The reduction in personnel is due to the cost reduction program that is underway to adapt the company to the more challenging situation.
Share capital trend
The total number of shares in the company amounts to 424,492,719 (of which 7,875,000 A shares and 416,617,719 B shares).
The total number of votes in the company amounts to 495,367,719 (of which 78,750,000 pertain to A shares and 416,617,719 pertain to B shares).
The company had 3,800,000 B shares in treasury at the end of the period. The share capital amounts to SEK 18,483,477.
