CEO's comments

The coronavirus outbreak has had far-reaching consequences, not least for all of those affected by the disease. It is of the utmost importance for Fingerprints to protect the health and wellbeing of its employees, customers and partners, and to thereby contribute to reduced spread of infection. Accordingly, we have adapted our work procedures and operations have proceeded well. It is gratifying that the equity/assets ratio for the Group improved to 83 percent.

At the same time, there is no doubt that the world is currently experiencing enormous social, economic and political strain. Of course, Fingerprints is also affected, but we are working hard to mitigate the effectsto the greatest possible extent. I am proud of our staff members, who are doing their utmost to ensure that we continue to create value for our customers and partners in this difficult situation.

Revenues in the first quarter of 2020 were negatively affected by supply chain challenges in Asia, mainly in the form of capacity constraints among subcontractors and restrictions to goods transportation as a result of the coronavirus outbreak. We expect the effects of inadequate access to production capacity among the major semiconductor manufacturers to persist moving forward. However, the situation has improved somewhat as the restrictions due to the coronavirus outbreak have been successively lifted in Asia.

At the same time, we assess that the economic slowdown in the world, with rising unemployment and falling demand for consumer products, will negatively impact our revenues. However, the situation is difficult to assess, which is reflected in the broad range of forecasts that have been published. External industry analysts currently estimate that the global smartphone market could shrink by as much as 10–20 percent in 2020.

While we are working to manage the short-term challenges facing the operations, our long-term strategic priorities stand firm. Our R&D organization has been able to maintain full focus on the development projects and we have continued to strengthen our position in the market, both in Mobile and in Payments & Access. Our market share in capacitive sensors for mobile phones has increased since the corresponding quarter last year. Severalsmartphones were introduced in the market during the quarter featuring our recently launched sensors, including the Realme X50 with FPC1540 and the Moto G Power with FPC1520. We are also strengthening our Payments & Access offering through, for example, the launch of a further development of our biometric software platform for payments, which can now also be used in a number of different Access applications, i.e. biometric access control. We have also launched two touch fingerprint sensors specifically adapted for the Access segment: FPC1020 and FPC1024. We recently entered a global license agreement with FEITIAN for Fingerprints' biometric software platform, combined with a volume agreement for sensors. The agreement applies to biometric cards and various types of access devices. The demand for practical, secure and reliable biometric solutions is increasing and we are very pleased with this partnership with FEITIAN, which indicates that our superior biometric sensors and software are continuing to gain ground in payments and access control. Despite the challenges in the world, which affect everyone, we operate in a uniquely interesting industry. There are fantastic opportunities to develop the use of biometrics in the world, and Fingerprints has a very strong starting point.

Christian Fredrikson, President and CEO

"We have adapted our work procedures and operations have been able to proceed in a good way."

Revenues and operating profit

Revenues

Consolidated revenues for the first quarter totaled SEK 310.0 M (342.9), down 10 percent yearon-year. Revenues were negatively affected by challenges associated with our supply chain in Asia due to the coronavirus outbreak, mainly in the form of capacity limitations among subcontractors and restrictions to goods transportation.

Trend in operating profit

Gross profit for the first quarter was SEK 73.9 M (78.7) and the gross margin was 24 percent (23). Operating margin was negative 6 percent (neg: 1).

Operating expenses amounted to SEK 91.6 M (80.6). Development costs of SEK 17.0 M (21.4) were capitalized during the quarter, which corresponds to 31 percent of total development costs, compared with 47 percent for the corresponding period of 2019.

EBITDA for the quarter totaled SEK 11.6 M (35.8).

Financial income and expenses

Net financial items amounted to SEK 24.2 M (1.1). 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

Net loss for the first quarter of 2020 amounted to SEK 3.5 M (loss: 3.5). Earnings per share for the first quarter were negative SEK 0.01 (neg: 0.01).

Cash flow and balance sheet

Cash flow

Cash flow from operating activities was a negative SEK 37.8 M (neg: 161.1) The trend in the first quarter is for negative cash flow, since disbursements are made for accumulated liabilities related to the preceding year, which are usually settled during the first quarter of the following year.

Cash flow from investing activities for the first quarter amounted to a negative SEK 26.0 M (neg: 43.3), of which capitalized development expenditure accounted for a negative SEK 17.0 M (neg: 21.4).

Cash flow from financing activities amounted to a negative SEK 39.7 M (-). Financing activities in the first quarter pertained to the amortization of lease liabilities in accordance with IFRS 16 recognition of leased premises of SEK 4.9 M (-). During the first quarter of 2020, shares were bought back for SEK 35,1 M.

Exchange-rate fluctuations had an impact of SEK 24.9 M (1.5) on cash and cash equivalents during the quarter. Most of the company's cash holdings consist of USD and the exchange-rate fluctuations are largely a result of a strengthening of USD in relation to SEK.

Liquidity and shareholders' equity

As of March 31, 2020, the Group's disposable cash and cash equivalents totaled SEK 485.3 M (337.6). Consolidated net cash holdings at the end of the first quarter amounted to SEK 460.0 M (299.4). Interest-bearing liabilities consist of lease liabilities for office premises amounting to SEK 25.3 M (38.2), reported according to IFRS 16 starting in 2019.

At period-end, consolidated shareholders' equity amounted to SEK 1,839.6 M (1,807.3) and the equity/assets ratio for the Group was 83 percent (82).

Investments, fixed assets and depreciation/amortization

Investments in intangible fixed assets during the quarter amounted to an expense of SEK 25.7 M (expense: 22.4). Investments in tangible fixed assets for the quarter amounted to an expense of SEK 0.3 M (expense: 0.2). Depreciation/amortization according to plan for the quarter totaled SEK 29.3 M (37.8).

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.
