Quarterly Report • Jul 19, 2024

Growing order intake and increasing share of subscription agreements

Planned strategic investments yield results in both business units, with continued growth and a strong order backlog at the end of the period. The growth has also strengthened the Group's cash flow. The sawmill industry is showing confidence in RemaSawco's solutions with increased order intake as recognition of this. In the Motion Analysis business unit, the transition of the business model is accelerating, towards an increasing share of subscription agreements. This ensures a more stable revenue flow and performance going forward.

Growth in both of the Group's business units continued in the second quarter, with order intake rising by 82 percent. The growth is partly due to a normalization in the sawmill market as well as general growth in both business areas during the quarter. During the first half of the year, order intake increased by 80 percent to MSEK 93.4 (51.9). Net sales are in line with the previous year and EBITDA amounted to MSEK 8.5 (7.1). At the same time, cash flow was strengthened.

I am pleased to note that the Motion Analysis business unit is rapidly undergoing the planned and previously communicated business model transformation towards an increased share of subscription agreements and support services. During a transition period, an increased share of subscription agreements will result in lower revenues as these are distributed over the entire agreement period. It will also temporarily decrease the operating profit. However, in the long term, the transition to subscription services is desirable, as it guarantees increasing revenues. The higher the pace of the transition, the faster we will achieve the desired outcome.

The RemaSawco business unit continued to experience favorable order intake in the second quarter, while the delivered product mix resulted in a significantly higher EBITDA margin.

Sawmill market stabilizes

In recent quarters, we have seen several positive signs in the sawmill industry, including an increased willingness to close contracts. We assess that the market continues to face challenges, but in the longer term the forest industry plays an important role in the green transition and the need for modernization will increase.

RemaSawco invests to be positioned as the preferred partner, delivering the most advanced and value-creating equipment so that our customers can be profitable. Therefore, during

A WORD FROM THE CEO Johan Friberg, CEO and President

the quarter, the business unit launched a new timber sorting product. The product combines the company's extensive experience in optimization early in the sawmill process with new technology and modern analysis tools. This takes sawmill production to new levels of business management, efficiency and profitability.

Motion Analysis accelerates transition to subscription agreements

Motion Analysis continues to reap success in its market segments. In the first half of the year, order intake increased by 47 percent compared to the same period last year. The transition to subscription sales kicked into high gear in the second quarter, and around 70 percent of the quarter's order intake consisted of subscription and support services. These are recognized as revenue monthly over the agreed contract period, resulting in a decrease in net sales and EBITDA during a transition period. The period's EBITDA was also burdened by continued expansion of the sales organization. Cash flow is maintained as agreements are invoiced in advance. From now on, we will keep separate accounts for the order backlog for subscription and support services within the business unit. I believe that this metric, together with the order intake, illustrates both short- and long-term development of the business unit. At mid-year, the order backlog for subscription and support services amounted to MSEK 14.3 (8.7), an increase of 65 percent compared to the same period last year.

Continued investments

The development in the first half of the year encourages us to continue on our current path, with investments in the product portfolio, the business model, and organizational improvements. The market rewards us for the investments we make, and a rising order intake gives us proof of a job well done and is a carrot to continue on our current path.

THE GROUP'S DEVELOPMENT IN THE SECOND QUARTER

Order intake, net sales, and profit

Order intake amounted to MSEK 37.3 (20.5). Order backlog as of June 30, 2024, amounted to MSEK 83.4 (52.5).

Net sales amounted to MSEK 44.3 (44.7). Capitalized development expenditure amounted to MSEK 4.1 (2.1) and relates to both business units.

Gross margin amounted to 67 (70) percent.

EBITDA amounted to MSEK 4.1 (4.8). Other external costs decreased, which mainly is attributable to an increase in capitalized external consultancy costs related to the RemaSawco business unit's product development. An increased share of subscription agreements will, during a transition period, result in lower operating profit for the Motion Analysis business unit, which delivers high-margin services. An expansion of our own operations in North America increased personnel costs slightly.

Depreciation/amortization amounted to MSEK -4.6 (-4.5), and net financial items amounted to MSEK 0.0 (-0.4).

Result after taxes amounted to MSEK -0.3 (0.1).

Financial position, investments, and cash flow

The Group's investments in non-current assets during the quarter amounted to MSEK 7.4 (2.2) of which MSEK 4.1 (2.1) was related to capitalized development projects. Capitalization of development projects takes place in both business units.

The operational cash flow during the quarter amounted to MSEK 5.5 (-9.0). Solidity as of June 30, 2024, amounted to 59 (65) percent. Net indebtedness amounted to 0.1 (0.1) times.

Available cash and cash equivalents including the undrawn part of the overdraft facilities amounted to MSEK 26.0 (19.0) as of June 30, 2024.

THE GROUP'S DEVELOPMENT DURING THE INTERIM PERIOD

Order intake amounted to MSEK 93.4 (51.9). Order backlog as of June 30, 2024, amounted to MSEK 83.4 (52.5).

Net sales amounted to MSEK 83.4 (52.2). Capitalized development expenditure amounted to MSEK 7.3 (3.8) and relates to both business units.

Gross margin amounted to 68 (70) percent.

EBITDA amounted to MSEK 8.5 (7.1). Other external costs decreased, which mainly is attributable to an increase in capitalized external consultancy costs related to the RemaSawco business unit's product development. Personnel costs increased as a result of the expansion of our own operations in North America.

Depreciation/amortization amounted to MSEK -8.9 (-11.4). The difference relates mainly to a write-down in the first quarter of 2023 in connection with the termination of a lease contract for office and production premises in Finland.

Net financial items amounted to MSEK -0.3 (-1.9). Most of the difference arises from a one-off item in the first quarter of 2023 related to a write-down of a receivable.

Result after taxes amounted to MSEK -0.4 (-5.9).

ROLLING 12-MONTH ORDER INTAKE, REVENUE AND EBITDA

The Group's rolling 12-month EBITDA margin during the second quarter amounted to approximately 10 percent. The Group's long-term EBITDA target of delivering a stable 15 percent EBITDA margin requires growth in net sales. The pace of the ongoing change in the Motion Analysis business unit, to a higher proportion of subscription and support agreements, may also affect how quickly the long-term goal is achieved. The changed business model will eventually translate into growth in both net sales and EBITDA results.

BUSINESS UNIT: REMASAWCO

RemaSawco provides solutions to optimize production in the sawmill industry. The product portfolio includes proprietary software that, with the help of laser, 3D scanning, X-ray, and automation, measures and analyzes timber and boards throughout the sawmill process to maximize value exchange, minimize waste, and thus increase customer profitability.

Performance during the period

Order intake continued to increase in the second quarter compared to the previous year, and we can see a doubling in order intake in the first half of the year. Capitalized development expenditure is increasing as a consequence of intensive work related to the development of new products and concepts. Net sales increased slightly and EBITDA increased to MSEK 7.4 (3.0). The improved result is partly explained by the delivered product mix with a higher share of license sales, which means a higher EBITDA margin, and partly by lower costs for external consultants. The market continues to be characterized by higher timber prices and low timber availability, which negatively affects our customers' profitability.

Product development

As part of our basic development, the business unit has implemented improvements on all product lines. The business unit's focus on further developing the timber sorting product and creating a new service concept has continued with high intensity. RemaSawco places great emphasis on developing the range of products in timber sorting. This will be the focal point of the RemaSawco ecosystem in the future. RemaSawco launched a new solution for timber sorting to the market during the quarter.

BUSINESS UNIT: MOTION ANALYSIS

Motion Analysis Systems offers its customers software for the analysis of high-speed film, a niche where the Company is the world leader. The software is sold under the product names TEMA and TrackEyeⓇ.

Performance during the period

The business unit has intensified its efforts to shift the business model to subscription sales. Furthermore, the business unit has strengthened its organization in North America to enable a higher proportion of in-house direct sales. Market conditions have been favorable, and order intake during the first half of the year increased by almost 50 percent compared to the same period last year. In case of sales of subscription and support agreements, the revenue is distributed over the entire agreement period, where the agreement period may vary. This will lead to a temporary decrease in net sales and operating profit EBITDA, while the business model ensures increasing revenues and results in the longer term. The period's EBITDA has also been negatively affected by increased costs for expansion of the sales organization.

Due to the effects of the change in business model, management has decided to keep separate accounts for the order backlog of subscription and support agreements for the business unit. We assess that this metric, together with the order intake, shows the development both in the short and longer term. The part of the business unit's total order backlog that relates to subscription and support services has grown by 65 percent compared with the same period last year to MSEK 14.3 (8.7).

Product development

The business unit remains focused on delivering the first commercial release of the new platform by the end of 2024. The business unit has started implementing machine learning algorithms in its software to effectively adapt to new requirements and improve the performance of its products.
