CEO's comments

Results reflect continued transformation of our business

Q4 2024 marked a pivotal quarter in executing our Transformation Plan, as we continued our shift from commoditized, low-margin segments to profitable growth areas. Our strategic realignment is delivering strong results, with core product group revenue (excluding Mobile and PC) increasing by 11.6% year-on-year despite the company navigating significant change. Similarly, gross margin, excluding non-cash depreciation of previously capitalized R&D expenses, saw significant improvement to 49.8% from 17.9% in Q4 2023 and 38.7% in Q3 2024. These results underscore the effectiveness of our strategic realignment and provide a strong foundation for future profitability.

Cost optimization and financial resilience

We continue to streamline our operations to enhance financial flexibility, having reduced our headcount to 71 core roles by the end of December, down 34% since the end of Q3 2024 and down 62% from a year ago, ensuring a leaner, more agile organization. Our cost optimization efforts are not just about cutting expenses—they are about strategic investments that position us for sustainable growth. Our successful rights issue in February further solidifies our financial foundation, enabling us to accelerate investments in high-growth areas.

Strategic Focus on High-Growth Markets: Digital Identity & Cybersecurity

"Our strategic realignment is delivering strong results"

The rapid evolution of AI presents both opportunities and threats in cybersecurity. AI-driven attacks, deepfakes and synthetic identities are increasing, making biometrics a critical defense mechanism to replace outdated password-based security. Fingerprints is strategically positioned to address these challenges, and we aim to be at the forefront of Zero Trust security, ensuring continuous authentication and securing enterprises, financial transactions, and systems access.

Our vision, "You are the key to everything", underpins our long-term strategy to replace passwords with biometric-based authentication, improving security and user experience while reducing fraud risks.

Accelerating Growth through Strategic Partnerships & Innovation

Recent milestones demonstrating progress in executing our strategy include new strategic partnerships and product innovations that reinforce our expansion into secure digital identity and authentication:

  • Anonybit Partnership: We are advancing enterprise authentication by integrating Fingerprints' biometric technology with Anonybit's decentralized identity platform. This partnership enables passwordless authentication, prevents account takeovers, and strengthens Zero Trust security frameworks.
  • Smart Eye Collaboration: Our licensing agreement with Smart Eye expands our biometric portfolio to include facial recognition, eye tracking, and AI.

  • Infineon Partnership: Infineon's SECORA™ Pay Bio, featuring Fingerprints' biometric technology, achieved full Visa certification, and Infineon has placed a volume order for our sensors.
  • Future Electronics Agreement: Expanding our global reach and accelerating the adoption of FPC AllKey, our next-generation authentication solution designed to eliminate outdated PINs and passwords.

Driving Future Growth with a Clear Strategic Vision

Looking ahead, we are focused on our Smartcard (Payment) and Access solutions, including iris recognition technology, to drive sustained growth. Completing our Mobile and PC exit strategy will optimize costs and improve profitability. We will continue expanding our digital identity solutions, reinforcing our leadership in secure authentication.

With a debt-free balance sheet, a more optimized cost structure, and a robust portfolio of biometric solutions, Fingerprints is positioned for long-term profitable growth and market leadership.

We are committed to delivering value to our shareholders by leveraging our market leadership in secure authentication and driving sustainable, profitable growth. While we are still executing our Transformation Plan, the positive momentum shows encouraging progress. I am confident in our ability to capture new opportunities and lead the industry in secure digital identity solutions.

Adam Philpott, President and CEO

Revenues and operating result, fourth quarter of 2024

Revenues

Group revenues for the fourth quarter of 2024 amounted to SEK 41.6 M (200.3), corresponding to a decrease of 79 percent compared with the fourth quarter of 2023 (decrease of 80 percent in constant currency terms). The revenue decrease reflects the winddown of the commoditized, low-margin Mobile and PC product groups, and our focus on profitable growth areas. Revenue in our core product groups outside of Mobile and PC increased by 11.6 percent year-on-year, driven by higher sales in Payment. While revenue in our Access product group was more or less flat compared to the corresponding quarter in 2023, the positive momentum we have seen this year continued, with revenue growing by 33 percent compared to Q3 2024. The positive trend in Access is mainly driven by an increased demand for biometric authentication for logical access control, especially in FIDO-certified products.

Trend in operating profit

Gross profit for the fourth quarter was SEK 6.4 M (19.1) and the gross margin was 15.3 percent (9.5). SEK 16.8 M in planned depreciation was recorded in the quarter, whereof SEK 14.3 M is included in cost of goods sold, thus impacting negatively on the gross margin (although not on cash flow). Gross margin excluding this effect was 49.8 percent in Q4 2024 (17.9 percent in Q4 2023).

Expensed development costs amounted to SEK 28.1 M (41.5). Development costs of SEK 1.4 M (4.4) were capitalized during the quarter, corresponding to 5.1 percent of total development costs, compared with 10.7 percent for the corresponding quarter of 2023.

The operating result for the fourth quarter was a negative SEK 65.0 M (neg: 105.2). Operating expenses amounted to SEK 71.3 M (124.2), including a SEK 7.8 million write-down of capitalized R&D projects in the PC area. Costs related to restructuring measures amounted to SEK 11.3 million, with the majority attributable to personnel expenses in China. Other operating income/expenses amounted to a positive SEK 6.2 M (pos: 7.5).

The cost optimization program is progressing according to plan, with a target to reach an annualized OPEX run rate amounting to SEK 70 M or lower by the end of Q2 2025.

Product groups

Revenue is reported by Product Group: Mobile, PC, Payment and Access (refer to the table on page 17). Fingerprints has implemented a new functional organization and governance model to support its Biometric Platform Strategy. The two primary pillars of this organization are Product and Sales, with support from Finance, HR and other operational functions. This change means that the company from January 1, 2024 no longer manages the business in separate operating segments, and no longer reports results for the previous operating segments Asia, Rest of World and New Business.

Effects of the wind-down of the Mobile product group

Fingerprints is in the final stages of the wind-down of its loss-making operations in the Mobile product group in order to safeguard the company's financial health and future viability. During the January-December 2024 period, the wind-down process has had the following financial effects:

  • An inventory write-down amounting to SEK 54.7 M and a SEK 7.1 M impairment of capitalized R&D.
  • As a result of the exclusive partnership agreement with Egis Technology in the Mobile area, Fingerprints has thus far received SEK 15 M in cash payments. While these payments are not material, the agreement with Egis entails future opportunities for Fingerprints to generate additional cash payments and royalties for development work.
  • SEK 28.6 M in costs related to restructuring measures.
  • Revenue positively impacted by a reversal of accrued marketing incentives to customers in the Mobile area, amounting to SEK 24.7 M.

Financial income and expenses

Financial income amounted to SEK 1.0 M (0.9). This item pertains to interest income on bank balances.

Financial expenses amounted to negative SEK 3.9 M (neg: 7.7). Expenses for the quarter pertained primarily to interest and other finance expenses on the bridge loan, previous year coming from interest on Bond loan.

Earnings and earnings per share for the reporting period

The result for the fourth quarter of 2024 was a negative SEK 66.9 M (neg: 119.7). Earnings per share for the fourth quarter were a negative SEK 0.02 (neg: 0.09). As the subscription price was below the market price, a fund element has been identified, which means that the comparison figures have been recalculated.

Cash flow and balance sheet, fourth quarter of 2024

Cash flow

Cash flow from operating activities for the fourth quarter was negative SEK 45.6 M (neg: 60.4). Adjustments for non-cash items, amounting to SEK 33.8 M, mainly pertain to write-downs and depreciation.

Cash flow from investing activities for the same period amounted to a negative SEK 1.2 M (neg: 4.4), of which capitalized development expenditure accounted for SEK 1.4 M (4.4).

Cash flow from financing activities was SEK 8.1 M (neg: 17.1). Cash payments related to transaction costs for the rights issue, amounting to SEK 4.0 M in Q4 2024, affected cash flow from financing activities negatively, while the receipt of a partial tranche of the bridge loan had a SEK 13.6 M positive effect. Leasing fees on leased premises amounted to a negative SEK 1.4 M (neg: 1.8).

Exchange-rate fluctuations had SEK 1.8 M (neg: 6.1) impact on cash and cash equivalents during the quarter.

Inventory amounted to SEK 48.0 M at the end of the fourth quarter, compared to SEK 133.5 M at the end of the fourth quarter 2023 and SEK 48.2 M at the end of the third quarter 2024.

Liquidity and shareholders' equity

As at December 31, 2024, the Group's disposable cash and cash equivalents totaled SEK 12.1 M compared with SEK 109.9 M at December 31, 2023, and the Group's net debt amounted to SEK 8.3 M on December 31, 2024, compared with a net debt amounting to SEK 5.0 M at December 31, 2023. Lease liabilities pertaining to office premises amounted to SEK 6.8 M on December 31, 2024, compared with SEK 12.8 M as at December 31, 2023, recognized in accordance with IFRS 16.

At period-end, consolidated shareholders' equity amounted to SEK 276.6 M (691.6) and the equity/assets ratio for the Group to 65.1 percent (63.8). Total comprehensive income in the fourth quarter amounted to a negative SEK 37.6 M (neg: 167.7) and included the remeasurement of shareholders' equity in foreign currencies.

Investments, fixed assets and depreciation/amortization

Investments in intangible fixed assets during the quarter amounted to an expense of SEK 1.2 M (expense: 4.4). Investments in tangible fixed assets for the quarter amounted to an expense of SEK 0.0 M (expense: 0.0). Depreciation/amortization according to plan for the quarter totaled SEK 16.8 M (20.3).

Write-downs amounting to SEK 7.8 M were recorded in the quarter. This write-down of capitalized R&D projects in the PC area is a consequence of the phase-out of older legacy projects that do not meet the required return on invested capital (ROIC). By reallocating resources to more promising initiatives, Fingerprints is streamlining its R&D portfolio to focus on innovations that align with long-term profitable growth.

Financial fixed assets pertain to deferred tax of SEK 56.4 M (173.2).

Comments on the period January – December 2024

The Group's revenue for the period January–December 2024 totaled SEK 403.2 M (705.4), corresponding to a decrease of 43 percent compared with 2023. The period was characterized by intense price competition in the Mobile product group. We focused on implementing a phase-out of our loss-making operations in the Mobile product group to safeguard our company's financial health and future viability. The on-going wind-down of the PC product group also impacted negatively on revenue.

Gross profit for the period January-December 2024 was SEK 45.6 M (89.6) and the gross margin was 11.3 percent (12.7). Gross profit in the period January-December 2024 was negatively impacted by SEK 81.4 M in planned non-cash depreciation of previously capitalized R&D expenses. Gross margin excluding this effect was 31.5% (20.8% in the corresponding

period 2023). The reduced sales volumes, combined with increased price competition within the Mobile product segment, had a negative impact on profitability in 2024.

Financial expenses during the period pertained primarily to interest and other finance expenses on the convertible loan, issued in 2023 to an entity managed by Heights Capital Management, Inc. ("HCM"). In the corresponding period in 2023, financial expenses pertained primarily to interest on the bond loan which was fully repaid in 2023.

Cash flow from operating activities for the period was negative SEK 207.6 M (neg: 88.3). In June, the company carried out a partially guaranteed rights issue. The company's proceeds from the rights issue, net of transaction costs, amounted to SEK 215.8 M. In December 2024, the company received SEK 13.6 M in a partial disbursement of a SEK 40 M bridge loan.

Significant events during the fourth quarter of 2024

On December 17, 2024, a convening notice to the extraordinary general meeting on January 17 was distributed by press release.

On December 17, 2024, it was announced that The Board of Directors of Fingerprint Cards AB ("Fingerprints" or the "Company") had resolved on a partially guaranteed issue of units consisting of new shares of series B ("B-shares") and warrants entitling for subscription of Bshares ("Warrants") (together "Units") of up to approximately SEK 160 million with preferential rights for its existing shareholders, subject to subsequent approval from an extraordinary general meeting in the Company to be held on 17 January 2025 (the "Rights Issue"). The Rights Issue was subject to subscription undertakings and guarantee commitments in a total amount of up to SEK 115 million. To cover the Company's liquidity needs during the period up until the completion of the Rights Issue, a consortium of external investors provided the Company with a short-term loan of SEK 40 million (the "Bridge Loan").

Other events during the fourth quarter of 2024

Business Development

On December 19, 2024, it was announced that Fingerprints and Anonybit have entered into a strategic partnership to deliver the next generation of enterprise authentication solutions. The partnership aims at introducing a first-of-its-kind end-to-end multimodal biometric identity offering to the enterprise market.

On November 6, 2024, Future Electronics and Fingerprint Cards announced that they have entered into a global distribution agreement which will see Future Electronics delivering Fingerprints' biometric solutions across Future Electronics' network in the Americas, EMEA, and Asia-Pacific.

On October 1, Fingerprints announced its 4th generation iris recognition software platform, offering a significant leap in convenience and affordability. This groundbreaking solution redefines iris recognition with a "just glance" approach, supporting large field-of-view and

long-distance operation on cost-effective off the shelf hardware—without compromising the inherent security of eye-based biometrics, boasting one-in-a-million accuracy.

Significant events after the end of the period

As disclosed in this interim report on page 9, Caroline Krüger will leave Fingerprints as there will no longer be a separate lead for Human Resources. This change is in line with our commitment to keeping costs under control. To further enhance operational alignment, Fredrik Ramberg, our Chief Product Officer, will report to our Chief Strategy and Technology Officer, David Eastaugh.

In February 2025, Fingerprints carried out a partially guaranteed issue of units consisting of new B-shares and warrants entitling for subscription of B-shares with preferential rights for existing shareholders (the "Rights Issue"). The subscription price was set to SEK 0.48 per Unit and shareholders in Fingerprints received one (1) unit right per each existing share (irrespective of class) held on the record date, of which eleven (11) such unit rights entitled to subscribe for one (1) Unit in the Rights Issue. Each Unit consists of forty-eight (48) B-shares and eight (8) Warrants, each of which entitles to subscription of one (1) new B-share in the Company. 199,824,120 Units, corresponding to approximately 60.0 percent of the Units offered in the Rights Issue, were subscribed for with support of unit rights. In addition, applications to subscribe for 39,908,976 Units without the support of unit rights were received, corresponding to approximately 12.0 percent of the Units offered in the Rights Issue. A total of 239,733,096 Units were thus subscribed for in the Rights Issue, which corresponds to approximately 72.0 percent of the Units offered in the Rights Issue and total issue proceeds of approximately SEK 115.1 million before deduction for transaction costs, entailing that no guarantee commitments will be utilized. In total 239,733,096 Units were issued in the Rights Issue. This entails that 11,507,188,608 new B-shares and 1,917,864,768 Warrants entitling to subscribe for a corresponding number of B-shares were issued.

The Rights Issue has resulted in changes in the number of B-shares and votes in Fingerprints as follows. Prior to the Rights Issue, the total number of shares in the Company amounted to 3,668,187,158 (of which 7,875,000 A-shares and 3,660,312,158 B-shares). The total number of votes in the Company amounted to 3,739,062,158 (of which 78,750,000 pertained to the Ashares and 3,660,312,158 pertained to the B-shares). In connection with the Rights Issue, the number of B-shares in the Company increased by 11,507,188,608 and the number of votes by 11,507,188,608. Following the Rights Issue, and as of 28 February 2025, the total number of shares in the Company amounts to 15,175,375,766 (of which 7,875,000 A-shares and 15,167,500,766 B-shares). The total number of votes in the Company amounts to 15,246,250,766 (of which 78,750,000 pertain to the A-shares and 15,167,500,766 pertain to the B-shares).

On January 17, 2025, Fingerprints published the bulletin from the extraordinary general meeting held on January 17, 2025. The EGM resolved on, among other things, subsequent approval of the Board of Directors' decision on an issue of units with preferential rights for existing shareholders (the "Rights Issue") and certain technical measures to facilitate the Rights Issue.

On January 15, 2025, Fingerprints announced certain preliminary financial information as of 31 December 2024. The reason for this announcement was that the Company planned to publish

a prospectus on 23 January 2025 in which Fingerprints intended to include certain preliminary figures related to the fourth quarter 2024.

On January 6, 2025, Fingerprints announced that it has entered into an agreement to license its iris recognition technology to the Swedish company Smart Eye, listed on Nasdaq First North, for a total consideration of up to SEK 50 million, entering a strategic partnership to enhance security and user experience in Automotive and Enterprise.

Organization and Personnel

The number of employees as at December 31, 2024, was 53 (159). In addition to employees, consultants were also engaged during the fourth quarter, corresponding to 18 people (26), mainly in technology development and sales. Accordingly, including employees and consultants, the company employed a total of 71 (185) people on December 31, 2024.

Fingerprints' cost optimization and operational efficiency efforts extend across all levels of the organization, including executive management. Caroline Krüger, our Chief Human Resources Officer, will be leaving the company at the end of April as there will no longer be a separate lead for Human Resources, and to further enhance operational alignment, Fredrik Ramberg, our Chief Product Officer, will now report to David Eastaugh, Chief Strategy and Technology Officer.

Accounting policies

These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

Critical estimates and judgments

With its Audit Committee, management has discussed the progress, selection and disclosure of the Group's critical accounting policies and estimates, as well as the application of these principles and estimates.

Definitions

Most of these key figures are Alternative Performance Measures according to ESMA's definition. How these key figures are used is described below, as is how they are calculated. The alternative performance measures are used to provide a more comprehensive description of how the operational activities are developing, such as gross margin, gross profit, operating margin, EBITDA and revenue increase, while other alternative performance measures focus on the owner perspective, such as return on equity, and cases where certain balance-sheet items or cash flow items are placed in relation to the number of shares. In addition, the equity/assets ratio is provided to describe the financial position and long-term financial sustainability.

Number of shares outstanding at
period end
Number of shares in the Parent Company less bought back shares held in
treasury.
Return on equity Profit for the period in relation to average equity during the period. Average
equity is defined as shareholders' equity at the start of the period plus
shareholders' equity at the end of the period divided by two.

profit before interest rates, taxes, depreciation/amortization and impairment
losses.
