Strong end to the year, now we'll take the next step.

We end 2023 with a strong fourth quarter, with a growth of 7% to SEK 136 million (128) and significantly improved profitability of SEK 17.3 million (5.7). All business areas have contributed to the positive development. We have gradually increased our profitability to an EBIT of SEK 49 million (16) for the full year corresponding to an EBIT margin of 9% (3%). This is also reflected in the strong cash flow for the year. Based on this positive development, the Board of Directors proposes to resume dividends.

For the full year, we increased sales to SEK 525 million (485), a growth of 8%. ARR increased by 10% yearover-year to SEK 405 million (369), while ACV amounts to SEK 39 million (49). In terms of ACV, we have higher ambitions and have increased activity in a number of business contracts made, both in ERP and Banking, but unfortunately, we have had a larger customer churn than normal during the year. This has been particularly evident in the Private business area, where these are newly established banks that have had difficulties obtaining increased financing during the current macroeconomic climate. During the fourth quarter, we won five new banking deals, the largest of which generated SEK 1 million in ACV, and we secured 23 Dynamics deals spread across the globe.

In the public sector, we won important frame agreements in Sweden with Knivsta Municipality and Sundbyberg Waste&Water during the fourth quarter. The Danish Fisheries Agency has demonstrated increased confidence in us, by selecting yet another of our products. After having had two active agreements with the Danish Agriculture Agency well into the third quarter, we have now fully switched to the new agreement. The new agreement will result in lower profitability in the coming quarters, but we see great opportunities to develop the business over time. We have been successful with many contract extensions in the public sector in Denmark during the year, which has contributed to a higher ARR. These, together with good cost control and a smaller proportion of subconsultants in both Sweden and Denmark, have helped to strengthen profitability.

I intend to lead Formpipe into the next phase of profitable growth. During the third quarter, I spent my time getting to know my colleagues, our products and customers. During the fourth quarter, I evaluated my insights with my team. We decided on a number of measures that we need to implement in order to realize our business potential, accelerate our growth and strengthen our market position.

We are forming one Public Sector business area, freeing up resources for development

As of 1 January 2024, our two business areas for the Danish and Swedish public sectors will merge. There are many advantages to a merger. The business logic is the same across national borders. In addition to size and synergies, the merger creates clarity and focus.

We will prioritize our product portfolio and focus our resources and investments on development to create the most attractive offering to the public sector with its high demands on efficiency, regulatory compliance and data sovereignty. We get synergies in a common organization and thus free up resources for customer dialogue, innovation and development. It will benefit our customers and their needs. More than 330 customers use our products to support decisionmaking and efficient, secure digitization in the public sector. We will use our large customer base to further develop our offerings by applying new technologies in, for example, AI and cybersecurity.

Formpipe is a recognized public sector player in Denmark and Sweden. The merger further strengthens our market position. We can be a clearer voice and more proactive in digitalisation. In addition, the larger business area enables scalability in competence and efficiency to application related projects.

Comment from the Group´s CEO

Sharper customer journey and business model for the Private Sector business area

In the Private Sector business area, we have started a project to improve the product platform's structure, distribution and integration into relevant ERP systems. We will expand our partner-based presence, primarily in Microsoft Dynamics and the banking and finance ecosystem. Our offering is strong, which was confirmed when we once again were awarded the Temenos Solution Partner award for the year 2023.

We will increase the value of our business model and will review our business and customer journey to ensure that our services are easy to find, consume and use. With more than 2000 customers using Lasernet daily, we are well on our way. We focus on Dynamics and Banking and Finance but closely follow market demand in new areas such as new geographies or vertical ecosystems, where our platform can be applied.

Now we'll take the next step

I would like to thank all colleagues, customers and partners for great cooperation in 2023. We have had a good year, with strong efforts and great business successes in both the private and public sectors. With the changes we are now implementing, we are laying the foundation to take the next step and realize our full potential. We will simplify, focus and improve. There is work to be done, more colleagues to recruit, more customers to meet and I look forward to the future with confidence.

Magnus Svenningson, CEO Formpipe

The record date for the dividend will be communicated in connection with the notice to the Annual General Meeting.

As the basis for its proposal for the appropriation of profits, the board, in accordance with chapter 17 § 3 subsect 2- 3 of the Swedish Companies Act, has assessed the parent company's and the group's need to strengthen the balance sheet, its liquidity and financial position otherwise, and the ability to meet its obligations in the long-term.

Content Services

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 USD1 11 billion in system revenue.

Transition to Software as a Service

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 percent of the total sales of software in 20242 .

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.

Business areas

Private sector

In the private sector, the business revolves around the product Lasernet. Through a certified partner network, Formpipe addresses the global market for ERP and banking systems. The most common purchase of Lasernet and Formpipe's complementary offering Autoform DM takes place when implementing, or upgrading to, Microsoft Dynamics 365 in industries such as manufacturing, retail and utilities and Temenos Transact and Infinity in banking and finance. The partner network thus primarily consists of implementation partners of these systems and constitutes a sales and delivery channel for Formpipe's offering.

The growth of Formpipe's business in the private sector is based on being included in more and more of Microsoft's and Temenos' business and offering Lasernet and Autoform DM as SaaS. In the Dynamics market, this is done via a globally certified partner network and with Temenos through a strengthened partner relationship.

Public sector

Hundreds of authorities, municipalities, universities and state- and municipally owned companies today build their public administration around Formpipe's products. Based on Formpipe's market share for its platforms in Denmark and Sweden, the business is growing mainly through additional sales of add-ons to these, which are primarily co-created in customer projects. Customers' needs revolve around the requirements for a more efficient, innovative and data-driven business.

The focus for these add-ons is on business processes linked to record keeping, such as archiveproof and secure digital signatures or an application for collaboration on meeting documents for municipal politicians. In the Swedish public sector, Formpipe has a stable customer base in municipalities, regions and authorities.

In the Swedish public sector, up to SEK 45 billion is invested in IT every year.

The Swedish government's ambition is for state authorities, municipalities and regions to be the best in the world at using the opportunities of digitalisation to create an efficient public sector - a simpler everyday life for private individuals and companies, more jobs and increased welfare. Digital solutions and automation are an important component for meeting the growing welfare needs and at the same time increasing the service to the citizens.

Formpipe is also a leading supplier of digital government software in the Danish public sector. Digital solutions and automation create opportunities to meet the growing welfare needs and at the same time increase the service to the citizens.

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 1-20 and the interim report on pages 1-9 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.

Sales analysis by quarter

Segment summary

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.
