General information

Joint Stock Company "HansaMatrix" (hereinafter – the Parent Company) is a leading Baltic electronic system products developer and manufacturer, listed on the Nasdaq Baltic's main list, together with its following 100% subsidiaries:

(hereinafter – HansaMatrix or the Group or the Company), actively operate in industrial systems, data network infrastructure, the Internet of Things, medical and several other high added value B2B (business-to-business) market sectors. HansaMatrix advances knowledge-based business, product development competencies, engineering teams and an innovation platform for future business development. The Group has 23-years of experience in electronics manufacturing and its business mission is to develop global technology products and to assist its customers be competitive on global markets.

Business environment

The demand for industrial products as well as for data transmission network products and is stable and growing, which ensures high availability of manufacturing orders. In short-term increasing inflation and energy costs, tightening central bank monetary policies of the leading world economies, as well as rising borrowing costs have increased the risk of decreasing demand for consumer and potentially also industrial products, however this risk has not yet materialized in relation to the Group.

The shortage of semiconductor production capacity continues to play a key role in hampering business development, which still determines extended delivery times for most semiconductor components used in the production of electronic systems. According to Deloitte's 2022 semiconductor industry research, the global semiconductor shortage is expected to continue until the first half of 2022, anticipating an improvement in the situation in the second half of 2022, but some components will have long delivery deadlines, with this situation prolonged and continuing into 2023 (https://bit.ly/3HSlbxJ).

Russian-Ukrainian conflict (the Conflict) might worsen the semiconductor deficit as well as contribute to supply chain challenges by longer delivery terms and increase in component prices, prolonging and/or making the supply of electronic components from Asia to Europe more expensive, with transport companies using alternative means of delivery of components, ship or aircraft transport, instead of rail transport through the territory of Russia. In addition, neon gas, which is needed to power lasers in semiconductor manufacturing and palladium metal used in later stages of chip production, are the two main raw materials whose supply volumes on the global market may be limited as a result of the Conflict. Industry analysts estimate that about 25-50% of the world's semiconductor quality level neon gas comes from Russia and Ukraine, while about 30% of the world's palladium metal comes from Russia.

Comparing Q3 2022 to Q2 2022 the Group has not experienced worsening of semiconductor deficit and, at the same time, has not seen any significant improvements in electronic component availability.

According to Gartner, worldwide semiconductor revenue totaled \$595 billion in 2021, increasing 26.3% from 2020. As indicated by Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) worldwide sales of semiconductors totaled \$152.5 billion during the second quarter of 2022, increasing 13.3% over the second quarter of 2021 and 0.5% more than the first quarter of 2022. The growth in semiconductor industry revenues have slowed so far in 2022, compared to the growth in 2021, potentially signaling better electronic component availability in the coming quarters of 2022 and 2023.

In order to reduce the shortage of components, HansaMatrix diversifies its supplier base, applies an alternative component management approach, cooperates with component brokers and more timely purchases of production components for binding customer orders.

In Q3 2022 an upward trend in inflation continued, which is facilitated, among other things, by the significant rise and volatility in the prices of energy resources (electricity and natural gas) in Europe, as well as by the increasing trend of the average wage in Latvia. Considering that Russia and Ukraine and Belarus are countries rich in both energy resources, raw materials and also food resources, under the influence of the Conflict and under the influence of Western sanctions against Russia and Belarus, a trend in resource price increases and volatility could be expected to continue further in 2022.

EU and world is in post-emergency COVID-19 pandemic phase, nevertheless fresh COVID-19 surges could be likely as the virus is expected to continue mutating, thus having a potential to still remain a significant public health burden worldwide. Although milder forms of viruses are now common, they still can have an impact on the business environment with employee availability and supply chain problems. The situation can change rapidly, so an active monitoring and rapid response approach is crucial for the successful management of the business environment and supply chain disruptions.

In long-term, the Group's management expects a new business trend in economic processes as technologies increasingly enter the economic processes (more data bandwidth, more robotics and automation, more remote work, greater EU independence in manufacturing), recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic and global semiconductor deficit, and preparing for higher market demand and faster business growth thereafter.

Finance results brief summary

During the third quarter (Q3 further in document) of 2022 the Group reported historically highest revenue from contracts with customers (hereinafter – revenue, turnover or sales) in amount of 7.586 million EUR, representing increase by 44% in comparison to the same period of 2021. The 2022 Q3 sales results showed 16% sales volume increase in comparison with previous quarter – 2022 Q2.

During the 9 months ("9m" further in the document) of 2022 the Group reported sales volume increase by 18% compared to the same period of 2021 and revenue reached historically highest 9 months volume of 20.171 million EUR.

The growth of revenue was supported by strong demand in key sectors that coupled with active sales process and the global semiconductor deficit has resulted in significant order book volume as at the end of Q3 2022, amounting to 19.2 million EUR, as a result of slightly improving component availability decreasing by 12% compared to the respective figure as at the end of Q2 2022.

During 2022 Q3 the Group reported quarterly EBITDA result of 0.430 million EUR and operated with net loss result of 0.562 million EUR. The reported EBITDA result shows 54% decrease in comparison with Q3 2021 and remained unchanged compared to previous quarter of 2022 Q2. In Q3 2022 the Group reported net loss 0.562 million EUR as compared to the net profit of 0.295 million EUR in Q3 2021 and net loss of 0.686 million EUR in Q2 2022. Quarterly results represent EBITDA margin of 5.67%.

During the 9m period of 2022 the Group reported EBITDA result of 1.668 million EUR and net loss result of 1.293 million EUR. The reported EBITDA result shows 50% decrease in comparison with 2021 9m. In 9 months of 2022, the Company operated with a net loss of 1.293 million EUR as compared to the net profit of 0.014 million EUR in 9m 2021. In 9 months of 2022, the Company operated with 8.3% EBITDA margin.

Q3 and 9m 2022 EBITDA profitability decrease compared to Q3 2021 and 9m 2021 is explained by changes in the product mix of manufactured products, where higher-added value products proportion decreased, which was influenced by the global semiconductor deficit.

Net profit of the Group in Q3 2022 is negatively influenced by several non-cash related items, the most significant including loss from investments in associates in amount of 0.296 million EUR, USD/EUR exchange rate fluctuations 0.187 million EUR, EIB loan fair value change provisions in amount of 0.083 million EUR and interest expense related to leases in amount of 0.044 million EUR.

The non-cash items negatively influencing net profit of the Company in 9m 2022 include loss from investments in associates 1.081 million EUR, EIB loan fair value change provisions – 0.257 million EUR, USD/EUR exchange rate fluctuations – 0.276 million EUR and interest expense related to leases – 0.128 million EUR.

For better inter-period profitability comparisons, the Company calculates normalized net profit, which in Q3 2022 amounted to negative 0.029 million EUR compared to Q3 2021 0.332 million EUR 9m 2022 normalized net profit amounted to 0.002 million EUR.

In 9m 2022 (including Q3 2022) the Group carried out revaluation of fair value of warrants issued in relation to European Investment Bank (EIB) financing contract, decreasing warrant balance sheet value by 0.498 million EUR (0.083 million EUR in Q3 2022), due to decreasing average weighted price of HansaMatrix stock in 9m 2022 (in Q3 2022), which by the same amount improved net profit in 9m 2022 (in Q3 2022).

TTM – trailing twelve-month period sales (period starting on October 1, 2021 and ending with September 30, 2022) at 2022 Q3 reached historically highest volume of 25.009 million EUR, increasing by 10% compared to TTM sales for the period ended at 2021 Q3 and increasing by 10% compared to TTM sales for the period ended at 2022 Q2. EBITDA result for the TTM 12-month period reported to be 2.078 million EUR, a decrease of 50% in comparison with 12-month period ended at 2021 Q3 and 19% decrease compared to TTM sales for the period ended at 2022 Q2. The TTM period resulted in a net loss of -3.259 million EUR, whereas normalized net profit in this period amounted to - 0.308 million EUR. In the end of Q3 2022 averaged EBITDA margin for TTM period of 8.31% was reported.

Key Growth and Financial Ratios

In Q3 2022 revenue of the Group increased by 44% but EBITDA decreased by 53%, compared to Q3 2021. Q3 2022 EBITDA profitability deterioration compared to Q2 2022 is explained by the product mix of manufactured products changes, where higher-added value products proportion decreased, which is influenced by the global electronic component deficit.

Key Growth and Financial Ratios

In 9m 2022 revenue increased by 18%, but EBITDA decreased by 50% on year-over-year basis. EBITDA decrease is explained by comparably smaller proportion of high-added value products in manufactured product mix influenced by the component deficit, while the revenue increase is explained by growing demand in industrial and data networks sectors in 9m 2022 as compared to 9m 2021. As at the end of 9m 2022 the liquidity of the Company has remained practically the same, compared to liquidity as at the end of 9m 2021.

Exposure to risks and uncertainties

Impact of COVID-19

Despite recent year COVID – 19 developments, most of European leading Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS) companies experience growth. Nevertheless, the electronics industry is facing significant component deficit explained by the growth in upstream demand in data networks, automotive, medicine and IoT business sectors. The existing global component manufacturing capacity was not sufficient for development of new technologies and the demand driven by COVID-19 pandemic global outbreak.

EU is in a post-emergency COVID-19 pandemic phase, nevertheless fresh COVID-19 surges could be likely as the virus is expected to continue mutating, thus having a potential to still remain a significant public health burden worldwide. COVID-19 pandemic may still have a negative impact on the Group performance in the short term in the following areas: customer demand weakening, personnel safety issues and supply chain disruptions.

All business units of the Group, including Pārogre and Ventspils manufacturing plants, metal parts and optics product unit in Mārupe and head office in Mārupe are fully operational. HansaMatrix ensures safe working conditions to workers present at all plants and offices of the Company and ensures remote work from home for employees where it is possible and effective. All requirements of self-isolation and quarantine stipulated by law are supported and enforced when necessary.

In response to the emergency situation HansaMatrix has introduced internal code of emergency aimed to ensure safeguarding and maintaining good health of the employees in the Group. New internal regulations and business practices have been introduced and are being regularly followed up and improved.

COVID-19 situation is impacting some of the risks to which the Group is exposed

Market risk. The Group manages market risk according to its business development strategy, which foresees the development of a highly automated and technologically developed manufacturing process, operating in diversified market sectors with a growth tendency. Continued efforts are made for attracting new clients. In Q3 2022, the top 5 clients on the Parent Company accounted for 65% of the total revenue, the remaining 35% were generated by 34 clients. Most of the top clients of the Company have been working with AS HansaMatrix as their manufacturer for at least 10 years.

COVID-19 impact on the sectors where the Group operates is different and balances out – in data networks and medical sectors the demand is increasing, however the demand was decreasing or stagnating for products in other sectors, e.g. not first necessity electronic products, products related to aviation and tourism industries.

Credit risk. The Group and the Parent Company are exposed to credit risk through its trade receivables. The Parent Company has introduced various procedures to mitigate the risk of unrecoverable debts. Most trade credits are insured using non-recourse factoring. As at September 30 2022, 47% of all trade receivables outstanding were insured. Clients, whose trade credits for any reason are not or cannot be insured, are subject to shortened payment schedules, advance payments, credit limits and other risk hedging conditions. The credit history of customers is also assessed on an ongoing basis and credit limits and terms are changed on an individual basis as applicable.

HansaMatrix continues to work closely with customers to better identify and understand the potential impact the COVID-19 situation may have on the manufacturing order book. Customers, located in the affected countries, are continuing the operations and are taking the virus spread and contraction precautionary measures.

The manufacturing order volume can be influenced by potential decisions by businesses to postpone investments and by consumers to decrease expenditures and also by international travel restrictions preventing customers from promptly accepting the executed orders, which potentially can be mitigated by online solutions.

Exposure to risks and uncertainties

Impact of COVID-19

Liquidity and cash flow risk. Liquidity is affected by inventories and the volume of work in progress, the amount of trade credits granted to clients, number of prepayments received, suppliers' terms of payment and the working capital available to the Group and the Parent Company. Liquidity strains can also influence the ability to carry out loan and lease payments. To mitigate liquidity risk, the Parent Company employs financial and operational management procedures. The level of inventories is monitored on a regular basis, orders and deliveries from suppliers are rescheduled, as are the sequence and volume of planned manufacturing in order to speed up the inventory turnover. Working capital is also monitored regularly which leads to planning of the availability of credit resources and financing instruments and the amount and repayment schedules thereof.

COVID-19 situation has slowed inventory turnover for some of the Group Clients due to demand decrease and also in some cases due to supply chain disruptions. The electronic component supply chain disruptions due to coronavirus are expected to impact HansaMatrix manufacturing order execution, potentially shifting fulfillment times, and could increase component sourcing costs.

To mitigate COVID-19 impact on liquidity, in addition to the regular procedures, the Group on ongoing basis closely monitors and utilizes the available government support for liquidity. Nevertheless, at the end of 2021 the Group successfully extended for 1 year the necessary working capital financing agreements with SEB banka in amount of EUR 4.56 million.

Impact of the Russia-Ukraine Conflict

Taking into account the recent Russia-Ukraine conflict (Conflict) and its impact on the economic and business environment situation in the Baltics and the world, HansaMatrix has assessed the Group's current business situation, the risks caused by the Conflict and its possible impact on HansaMatrix's business.

As of today, all HansaMatrix business units are operating at the available capacity. HansaMatrix has worked closely with customers to better identify and understand the potential impact of Conflict on production order volumes. The Company has no customers in Russia, Ukraine or Belarus, and HansaMatrix customers also do not have significant revenue exposure to the markets directly involved in the Conflict. HansaMatrix has a diversified supplier base and the Company has no suppliers in Russia, Ukraine or Belarus. The Company has contacted and discussed the Conflict and related risks with key suppliers and logistics partners.

Russia, Ukraine and Belarus are countries rich in raw materials, including oil, natural gas, metals and cereals, whose supply disruptions as a result of international sanctions and the Conflict are likely to lead to an increase in energy, raw materials and food prices, contributing to inflation in Europe in 2022 and 2023. The Company's expenses related to energy and utilities are relatively small in the total cost structure, accounting for about 2.5% of revenue in 2021. However, the Company particularly monitors the trends of energy prices and general inflation, evaluating financial results and budget fulfillment every month, if necessary, adjustments of production service prices to maintain the profitability level are coordinated with customers and made in a timely manner.

Supply chain and liquidity risks

Neon gas, which is needed to power lasers in semiconductor manufacturing and palladium metal used in later stages of chip production, are the two main raw materials whose supply volumes on the global market may be limited as a result of the Conflict. Industry analysts estimate that about 25-50% of the world's semiconductor quality level neon gas comes from Russia and Ukraine, while about 30% of the world's palladium metal comes from Russia.

The growing demand and supply chain disruptions following the COVID-19 pandemic have led to a global semiconductor shortage that has been going on for 1.5 years, which has initially helped to overcome the additional supply chain problems caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine, as many chip manufacturers have significantly improved supply chain risk management and accumulated the materials needed for production for 3-12 months ahead (https://cnb.cx/3K1IqGV).

Exposure to risks and uncertainties

Impact of the Russia-Ukraine Conflict

Supply chain and liquidity risks

In the longer term, and assuming that the Conflict between Russia and Ukraine will not be resolved and minimized in the coming months, the above-mentioned shortage of raw materials may lead to a rise in semiconductor prices and further increase the chip deficit.

In addition, supply chains could be expected to be further hampered, as transport companies are unlikely to be able to continue using rail in Russia, supplying semiconductors from Asia to Europe via Russia. Alternative transport options include ships and aircraft, which could increase delivery time (ships) and transport costs (aircraft).

It would be expected that the disruption of the supply chain of electronic components caused by the Conflict between Russia and Ukraine will affect the fulfillment of HansaMatrix production orders, possibly change execution times and increase the cost of purchasing components, as well as may increase inventory balances.

In order to mitigate the impact of the shortage of components, HansaMatrix diversifies the supplier base, applies the alternative component application approach, cooperates with brokers and makes timely purchases of components for the execution of customers' orders. Liquidity risk mitigation measures include weekly cash flow management and liquidity planning on a monthly basis for the next 12 months, which allows for timely decisions to improve liquidity.

Risk of wage inflation

Increasing inflation is expected to contribute to higher wage inflation in 2022 and 2023. The Company's expenses related to employee remuneration are significant in the overall cost structure, accounting for approximately 39.1% of revenue in 2021. The Company carefully monitors the trends of wage inflation, evaluates financial results and budget implementation on a monthly basis, so that, if necessary, adjustments to the prices of production services are coordinated with customers and made in a timely manner to maintain the level of profitability.

Risk of declining purchasing ability

Higher inflation, which limits economic growth, can lead to a long-term decline in demand and investments. The volume of production orders may be influenced by potential decisions by companies to defer investments and consumer decisions to reduce spending. Since the beginning of the Conflict, the Company has not received any negative indications of a decrease in customer orders in the near future. To mitigate this risk, HansaMatrix's sales team is constantly and actively looking for new customers, with a strategic focus on the Nordic countries.

Risk of attracting new investments

Increased uncertainty in the business environment can potentially affect investor sentiment in Europe and lead to the postponement of investment decisions. HansaMatrix associate Lightspace Technologies is currently focusing on attracting investments in North America.

Impact on the Company's business activities

HansaMatrix remains confident in the Company's long-term prospects and growth strategy. The Company believes that the direct impact of the Russia-Ukraine conflict on the Company is relatively limited in the short term, however, the uncertainty of the business environment has increased significantly and the scale of the Conflict's impact on the Company could change, especially in relation to future challenges related to supply chain risks and costs increase, that could potentially negatively affect business volume in the coming quarters of 2022.

HansaMatrix has assessed the key assumptions for the determination of fair value made for the Consolidated and Parent Company's financial statements and has concluded that at the date of this report the fair values of the Group's assets and liabilities have not been materially affected by the circumstances surrounding the Conflict. Nevertheless, the value of the liability of the European Investment Bank (EIB) convertible guarantee securities could change in future as the Company uses the weighted average share price of HansaMatrix for the last relevant quarter as one of the exit variables to determine the fair value of these liabilities.

In an adverse scenario, if the Conflict continues for a long time and on a substantially large scale, the impact on the Company could be more significant as a result of the risks described above.

Other significant events in Q3 2022

On July 4, 2022 HansaMatrix announced that Baiba Anda Rubesa has been approved as the Chairwoman of the Supervisory Board of HansaMatrix, while Anders Lennart Borg will perform the duties of the Deputy Chairman of the Supervisory Board.

On August 1, 2022, HansaMatrix published a new website, thus completing the refresh of visual identity.

On August 15, 2022, HansaMatrix informed, that it has concluded a manufacturing contract and received a frame order in the amount of EUR 3 million for the production and delivery of aquaculture systems to a new customer in the Nordic countries in the industrial market sector. The volume of planned deliveries will reach EUR 5 million in three years, starting from the 3rd quarter of 2022.

Significant events after the reporting period

On October 17, 2022 HansaMatrix associated company Lightspace Technologies (the Company) informs that it has delivered exceptional results and completed the project NGEAR 3D: "Next Generation Enhanced Augmented Reality 3D Glasses for medical education, pre-procedural planning, intra-procedural visualization, and patient rehabilitation". It is Horizon 2020 (SME Instrument) project during which company have received 2.25 M EUR EU grant funding. It is already been notified that the Company has released and started small series production of its multi focal Augmented Reality headset iG1050 specifically developed for use in Operating Room by operating surgeons. Company has already delivered its products to its partners – healthcare AR application developers. Among its initial customers there are two global Med techs with large market shares. During Q3 the Company managed to attract additional bridge funding of 0.6 M EUR from local business angel's network. Investments will continue to fund Lightspace product manufacturing and deliveries. Investor names, in accordance with the terms of the agreement, will not be disclosed. The Management of Lightspace continues company development towards becoming listed entity. Further information about the listing process will be disclosed in accordance with the requirements of applicable law.

As at the end of Q3 2022 the Group has reviewed the key assumptions of the fair value measurement, carried out for the Group's annual consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2021, of the depicted above assets and liabilities and concluded that the carrying amounts of these assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2022 are reasonable approximations of the fair values, except that in 9m 2022 the Group carried out revaluation of fair value of warrants issued in relation to European Investment Bank (EIB) financing contract, decreasing warrant balance sheet value by 0.498 million EUR, due to decreasing average weighted price of HansaMatrix stock in 9m 2022, which by the same amount improved net profit in 9m 2022.
