We started off 2021 by presenting a new strategic direction in which growth where at the top of the agenda. When we now sum up the year, we do it with pride.
In line with our growth strategy, we place great focus on increasing our recurring revenues. Thus, ACV (Annual Contract Value, i.e. the net of won and lost contracts for recurring income) is our most important growth figure. For the fourth quarter, ACV amounts to SEK 11 million (9) and for the full year ACV amounts to SEK 37 million (22), i.e. an increase of 66% compared to the previous year.
At the end of the year, ARR (Annual Recurring Revenue) totals SEK 304 million, which is an increase of 17%, largely driven by increased SaaS business, which increased by 55% to SEK 85 million.
We can thus state that we are successfully executing our growth strategy.
In light of this, the Board proposes an increase in the dividend to SEK 0.70 (SEK 0.66) per share.
Within business area Private, we show growth of 18%. We have more than doubled our ACV regarding SaaS from SEK 11 to 24 million.
We continue to drive a rapid transition to SaaS. Through our collaborations with Microsoft and Temenos, we see a clear growth journey for sales of our product Lasernet. We were recently named Solution Provider of the Year 2021 by Temenos and we see great potential in further strengthening our collaboration in the future.
The cloud-based ERP system Microsoft Dynamics 365 grew by 45% in the second quarter of Microsoft's fiscal year 20221 . Temenos grew its SaaS business by 30% in the third quarter of 2021 with the largest ACV contribution coming from Europe and the US.2
The growth strategy is based on penetrating more and more of Microsoft's and Temenos' business and offering Lasernet and Autoform DM as SaaS. In the Dynamics market, this is done through a globally certified partner network and for Temenos through a strengthened partner relationship.
In line with our strategy, we will continue to invest in additional capacity and expertise to leverage the international growth potential we see in Microsoft Dynamics and Temenos. The increased costs continue to put pressure on earnings for 2021 and will continue to do so in 2022. The scalability of the business model with a high proportion of SaaS revenues will thereafter gradually lead to ever better margins.
Within business area Private, we show growth of 18%. We have more than doubled our ACV regarding SaaS from SEK 11 to 24 million.
We see a strong development in Denmark in terms of recurring revenues and profitability. We have strengthened our position as market leader in Grants Management and we are noticing ever better market conditions in Case and Document Management, where we are seeing more and more authorities entering into procurement.
In Sweden, the transition from a business model to becoming a comprehensive supplier, which we are already in Denmark, has been more challenging than we initially anticipated. We end the year with a strong fourth quarter where 47 won deals give an ACV of just over SEK 3 million. Through the acquisition of Alkemit AB at the beginning of the year, we create even better opportunities for a successful 2022.

There are good conditions for both Private and Public to grow both organically and through acquisitions. As part of a strategic review, a more active acquisition agenda has been adopted and the growth strategies for Formpipe's business in Private and Public have been more clearly differentiated.
In light of this assessment that Private and Public will grow in different ways, work is underway to investigate whether the business areas will continue to be jointly owned or whether other value-creating measures should be implemented.
The company has therefore hired an external advisor to analyze various possibilities to further accelerate these alternatives.
In conclusion, I would like to extend a warm thank you to our employees for extraordinary efforts during a year in which we successfully implemented major changes under difficult conditions. I look forward to another year where we continue to grow in all areas and create even greater value for our customers, partners and shareholders.

Data and information become more and more important for the financial development: it is the foundation for many new products and services, which leads to productivity and resource efficiency gains in all sectors of the economy. Being able to take advantage of the possibilities of digitalization has become one of the most important issues of our time. The benefits of being able to collect, process and present data are extensive.
Formpipe's products are used to create, store, distribute, automate, relocate, archive and manage information, data and metadata regarding e.g. scanned documents, e-mail, reports, records, business documents or information from other source systems. The goal is to be able to refine and analyze content from one or more sources, to thereby provide the right insights by the right people receiving relevant information when they need it. It is in the Content Services (previously Enterprise Content Management) market that Formpipe has grown to become a market leader in the public sector and a strong challenger in the private sector where we digitalize and streamline customer communication in sectors such as retail, finance and manufacturing.
The growth in the market is fuelled in large part by the organizational and corporate-wide need to streamline operations and meet legal requirements and regulations. To be able to get the value out of the collective amount of information at companies and organizations, applications and services are needed – in order to securely – collaborate, search, analyze, process and distribute data and content. Growth drivers tend to gain strength as the amount of data and information increases.
Gartner's forecast for the global market is an average annual growth (CAGR) of 10 percent in 2020-2024. The Content Services market is estimated to be USD3 11 billion in system revenue.
An important part of the change of the Content Services market is also that the development is moving increasingly towards cloud-based solutions, where the customers pay for what is used and where costs for development, operations, maintenance, upgrade and support are included in the running agreement. The transition to SaaS is taking place very quickly now and Gartner estimates that the SaaS revenues will reach up to 60 per cent of the total sales of software in 20244 .
This development is well in line with Formpipe's reality where growing numbers of the Company's customers choose to shift to Formpipe's cloud services for the standard products and with the Company's development of service modules that can process information both from Formpipe's existing systems and other systems.
The global ERP software market is estimated to reach USD 50 billion in 20245 . As cloud solutions are becoming increasingly accepted due to their scalability, reliability and flexibility, many ERP customers are changing their views on their internal IT architecture. This shift, where customers see the benefits of moving to the cloud, opens up new opportunities for Formpipe. Lasernet is an add-on to ERP systems and enables business documents to be delivered in exactly the format and layout desired. Lasernet continues its strong growth internationally, a positive development that is primarily a result of Formpipe's close collaboration with Microsoft and their offering in the cloud (Azure) regarding Microsoft Dynamics. Lasernet is a natural add-on to Dynamics and improves the customer experience through efficient document management.
Through the acquisition of EFS in 2020, Formpipe has further strengthened its position in this area as EFS product Autoform DM together with Lasernet is a valuable add-on to business systems from Temenos, a well-established and increasingly strong system supplier to the financial sector.
Formpipe is strategically well aligned with Temenos' growth areas within SaaS-transformation and expansion on the North American market. Formpipe's products are sold and implemented as customers buy and implement Temenos' systems.

important component for meeting the growing welfare needs and at the same time increasing the service to the citizens.

The new strategy captures opportunities to deliver on a number of markets with the self-developed and successful product Lasernet. Investments in growth will primarily take place through capacity building with focus on the USA and Europe. The build-up phase provides a not insignificant short-term negative margin impact before reaching the goals.
Financial targets:
Formpipe and Danish Landbrugsstyrelsen (Board of Agriculture) have agreed to sign an agreement on further development of the solution that Formpipe for several years has developed on behalf of Landbrugsstyrelsen.

The Group's segments are divided according to which customer groups they target. The segments are divided into SE Public, DK Public, Private and Other and reflect the Group's internal reporting and follow-up of Group management.
The SE Public and DK Public segments find their customers in Sweden's and Denmark's public sectors. Segment Private collects the Group's offers that are aimed at customers outside the public sector and are not bound to any particular geographic market. Segment Other includes the Group's older products that are not included in any of the other segments and the Group's overhead costs.
In the Group's follow-up on the segments, the intercompany invoicing (revenues and costs) is presented as a net because of the substantial invoicing within the segments related to royalties to IP owning entities. The line Intercompany net includes de intercompany revenues and costs netted out to reflect a more accurate view of the segments. The Group has adjusted the segment overview for financial year 2020.
