Comments from the Groups CEO

The positive trend with higher proportions of our new sales being Software as a Service (cloud) has been strengthened even further during the fourth quarter. As previous stated, this is completely in line with our strategy and to our benefits in the longer term.

During the year, we have increased our ARR (Annual recurring revenue) from SaaS to SEK 27 million from SEK 15 million, which is more than the double from the previous year's end. The recurring revenue now amounts to 50 % of our total revenue. During 2017 we have closed 110 new SaaS contracts compared to the 25 new contracts during 2016.

In the short-term, the transition to SaaS sales is negatively affecting both revenue as well as margins. As a reference, the revenues for 2017 would have been approximately SEK 23 million higher would these SaaS deals been sold as traditional licenses. We still show an EBITDA result in line with previous year and an operating profit that is 27 % better than previous year. The depreciations are on a lower level than previous year mainly due to the non-tangible assets from the acquisition of Traen A/S now are fully depreciated.

SaaS: Annual recurring revenue (ARR), SEKm 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 2014 2015 2016 2017

The positive trend is a result of improvements in all business segments. Measures in areas where we have had challenges have yielded results. We can see the biggest impact of the cloud services transition in the Danish operations, where most of the new license sales 2017 were as cloud services. In the Life Science segment, we have adjusted the cost base and make a fourth quarter with a positive result.

Lasernet, which is our product for input- and output management of business documents, has had a very strong development during the year. Our partnership with Microsoft is becoming increasingly closer and Lasernet as a product is now available in Microsoft AppSource, and is therefore available for download for all Microsoft's customers globally. The fact that Microsoft has approved and backs our product is also a quality stamp that creates security and safety in the choice of us as a supplier.

As usual, the business provides a strong cash flow and the Board of Directors hereby proposes an increased dividend to SEK 0.50 per share.

In summary, we make a satisfactory finish of the year that we in the future will see as the start of a paradigm shift from traditional license sales to SaaS sales. When the proportion SaaS sales to traditional license sales stabilizes, the growth of recurring revenue will provide an even clearer margin improvement on our profit.

Market

Enterprise content management (ECM) is used to create, store, distribute, discover, archive and manage digital content (such as scanned documents, email, reports, medical images and office documents), and ultimately analyze usage to enable organizations to deliver relevant content to users where and when they need it. It is in the ECM market that Formpipe has emerged as the market leader in the public sector, as a challenger in e.g. life sciences and legal as well as cross-industry for parts of the product range.

Growth in the ECM market is fueled in large part by the organizational and corporate wide need to streamline operations and meet legal requirements and regulations. Making business value from the information requires applications and services to search, analyze, process and distribute data and content. Growth drivers continually gain strength as the sheer amount of data and information increases and ECM remains a highly prioritized investment area. Gartner's forecast on ECM software revenue is a Compound Annual Growth Rate of 10.6%, 2015-2020. The ECM market is large and fragmented, with a total addressable market (systems revenue) of 7 billion dollars in 2017 (Source: Gartner, Enterprise Software Markets, Worldwide, 2013-2020, 4Q16 update).

A CHANGING MARKET

The ECM market is changing from the centralized, backend, command and control of unstructured content to integrated, purpose-built, cloud based solutions that prioritizes content usability, processing and analyzing content from one or several sources, to get business insights and business value. Control, file synchronization and sharing will be a standard capability of ECM offerings.

This change is well in line with the Formpipe's strategy, as more and more of the company's customers choose to switch to cloud solutions for the standard products, as well as with the company development of applications and modules with the ability to process information from both Formpipe's existing systems or from other systems.

The development for ECM software is towards cloud based solutions and Gartner predicts that at least 50% of the leading ECM software providers will have rearchitected their offerings to cloud based platform by the end of 2018. But even if the trend is towards the cloud, the license revenues from on-premise will play an important role for years to come.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The group's financial reports are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in the way in which they have been adopted by the European Union, the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, RFR 1 Additional Accounting Regulations for Groups issued by the Swedish Financial Reporting Board and in accordance with the regulations that the Stockholm Stock Exchange stipulates for companies listed on Nasdaq Stockholm. Preparing financial reports in accordance with IFRS requires that the company management makes accounting evaluations and estimates and makes assumptions that affect the application of the accounting policies and the reported values of assets, liabilities, income and costs. The actual result can differ from these estimates and evaluations. This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The interim report covers pages 1-14 and the interim report on pages 1-7 is thus an integral part of this financial report. The most important accounting policies according to IFRS, which constitute the accounting standard for the preparation of this interim report, are stated in the company's most recently published annual report

The financial reports of the parent company have been pre-pared in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities issued by the Swedish Financial Reporting Board. The same accounting policies and methods of calculation have been applied in the interim report and in the most recent annual report.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS TO BE APPLIED FROM JANUARY 1, 2018

The following new accounting standards have been published but are not mandatory for 2017 and have not been early adopted by Formpipe.

IFRS 9 Financial instruments

IFRS 9 addresses the classification, valuation and reporting of financial assets and liabilities and introduces new rules for hedge accounting. IFRS 9 replaces those parts of IAS 39 regulating the classification and valuation of financial instruments and also introduces a new writedown model. The full version of IFRS 9 was issued in July 2014 and is applicable for fiscal years commencing January 1, 2018 or later. The standard is adopted by the EU. Formpipe has evaluated the effects of IFRS 9 and estimates that the standard has no significant impact on the Group's valuation or classification of financial instruments.

IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers

IFRS 15 addresses the principles of revenue recognition and replaces IAS 18 and IAS 11. The standard was adopted by the EU on September 22, 2016, and is applicable for fiscal years commencing January 1, 2018 or later. The principles on which IFRS 15 is based upon will provide users of financial reports with more useful information about the Group's revenues. This is done through more extensive disclosure requirements, and the focus on when revenues may be recognized in time is moved from when the control of the good or service is transferred over to the customer instead of focusing on when the risk is transferred.

Formpipe's work to evaluate the impact of IFRS 15 implementation has been based on the standards fivestep model. The model is applied to all contracts with customers to determine the amount and timing of the revenue recognition, and to determine when the control over the good or service has been transferred to the customer. After the evaluation, the Group has assessed that IFRS 15 does not have a material impact on the Group's historical income statement as the Group's contracts has been divided into four revenue groups where revenue has been recognized in accordance with the principals of IFRS 15.

  • Licenses Revenue at a specific time
  • Software as a Service Revenue over time
  • Support and maintenance Revenue over time
  • Delivery Revenue in connection with execution

The effect Formpipe notice, after the evaluation work and which might affect the Group's income statement, is primarily future contracts with customers. Formpipe believes that customers will increasingly seek another billing model in relation to the contract and the actual transfer of control. In case of such deviations, revenue recognition will need to be adjusted from the billing model to comply with IFRS 15 principles. It will also make new demands on the Group's contract management.

The introduction of IFRS 15 will also entail new and more comprehensive disclosure requirements for the Group in respect of the revenue recognition.
