"In the second quarter of 2020 INVISIO developed well and in accordance with the adopted strategy, which means continued focus on product and organizational development in R&D, sales and marketing. The focus includes intensified penetration of the law enforcement and security market. During the quarter, the company also won several smaller orders for the Intercom system and received initial orders for the personal system in new markets in Asia. The impact on operations of Covid-19 is limited to cancelled or postponed trade exhibitions and some delay in global supply chains and administrative processes among customers."

Intensified focus on the law enforcement and security market
In the second quarter of 2020 INVISIO developed well and in accordance with the adopted strategy, which means continued focus on product and organizational development in R&D, sales and marketing. The focus includes intensified penetration of the law enforcement and security market.
During the quarter, several smaller orders for the Intercom system were received and in new markets in Asia, the company won initial orders for the personal system.
Revenue in the first half year amounted to SEK 240.4 million (204.1), an increase of almost 18 per cent compared with the corresponding period in the previous year. Revenue in the quarter amounted to SEK 123.6 million (137.2), which is 10 percent lower than the same period last year. We see this difference as a natural variation and a consequence of the fact that large and intermittent contracts are typical for our market.
As INVISIO's customer base increases, so does the company's order intake, which does not prompt publication via press releases. In the second quarter the total order intake was SEK 107.3 million (178.9). The total for the corresponding period in the previous year was dominated by a single large order of SEK 111 million. At the close of the period the order book amounted to SEK 99.9 million (90.1).
The gross margin for the second quarter was 64.6 per cent (63.5). The operating profit for the quarter was SEK 24.4 million (38.8) and the operating margin was 19.8 per cent (28.2).
Limited impact of Coronavirus in the first six months
All INVISIO's essential functions and activities are continuing largely as usual. The company is closely monitoring the Covid-19 outbreak and following all rules and recommendations issued by relevant authorities.
The impact on customers' purchasing is assessed to be limited. As a result, the company is maintaining a high delivery readiness, which gives us a significant competitive advantage. The impact is limited to cancelled or deferred trade exhibitions and some delays in global supply chains and in customers' administrative processes. Production at INVISIO's contract manufacturers, which are primarily based in Europe, continues according to plan.
Intensified focus on the law enforcement and security area
In light of the success achieved by INVISIO in the law enforcement and security market in 2019, the company has intensified its global market penetration of this target group. The focus includes a strengthening of the sales organization and an increase in the number of distribution partners in the USA and Europe targeting law enforcement and security.

INVISIO AB | Interim Report January - June 2020 |2
Interim report January – June 2020
We see two trends in particular that drive demand for INVISIO’s solutions. The strongest trend is the increasing need for modern communication equipment that makes it possible for the police to work effectively and safely in noisy and mission-critical environments. The second trend is a rising awareness of the high costs that hearing loss gives rise to and the personal suffering it means for those affected.
The attractive market conditions, described in “INVISIO in brief” in this report, together with breakthroughs both in North America and in several European markets in 2019, mean that we feel great confidence in focusing on the law enforcement and security market.
Marketing of the Intercom system is going according to plan
Despite Covid-19 and travel restrictions, marketing of the Intercom system is largely going according to plan. During the second quarter, marketing mainly focused on existing customers, which resulted in several smaller orders from special forces in Europe.
We expect further orders towards the end of the year, after the field tests that are now underway at a number of customers have been completed and evaluated.
We are convinced that the Intercom system has good long-term prospects of contributing significantly to the company’s continued growth.
Continued sound growth in new markets
INVISIO continues to grow in existing markets, at the same time as we are addressing selected countries in Asia, the Middle East, and South America. The main focus is on the countries where the major radio suppliers operate.
In the second quarter we received several initial small orders from customers in new countries in Asia, which we estimate may lead to larger orders in the long term.
We see the same pattern here as in our established markets, where orders from military and police special forces pave the way for more business with other parts of the respective organization.
Market demand for advanced communication solutions
Attractive market conditions along with an increasingly powerful sales organization, a broadened offer and intensified penetration of new user groups mean that INVISIO has good prospects of a continued successful growth journey.

Interim report January – June 2020
INVISIO in brief
INVISIO develops and sells advanced communication systems with hearing protection that enable professionals in noisy and mission-critical environments to communicate and work effectively. The systems give operational advantages and increased security for the users, such as military, law enforcement and security personnel. Protection against hearing loss helps to reduce individual suffering and costs to society.
Innovative product development
Product development is based on a good understanding of the users' work environment and their specific needs. By combining different technologies and skills in acoustics, electronics, mechanics and software, INVISIO creates innovative and user-friendly solutions. Manufacturing is done mainly by contract manufacturers in Europe.
The offer – the personal system and the Intercom system
INVISIO's personal communication system consists of a headset and control unit that connect to external units such as a radio, computer, mobile phone, mine detector or INVISIO's Intercom system.
INVISIO's Intercom system was developed for portable use or mounting in vehicles, boats and helicopters. The system can be used together with INVISIO's personal communication system and is intended to make the communication simpler and more effective for users, regardless of their mode of transport.
Growing niche market
INVISIO mainly addresses customers in the military and defense sectors and law enforcement and security sectors in the USA and Europe, as well as selected countries in Asia. The company estimates that the annual value of the total addressable market for personal equipment and the Intercom system amounts to about SEK 13 billion.
At present more than 90 per cent of INVISIO's revenues come from European and American defense customers, but the company sees an increasing interest from the law enforcement and security market and new geographical markets. Customer needs in the two professional categories are similar and INVISIO's offer is in principle identical for each category.
Market for the personal system
Military and defense market for the personal system
Industry statistics show that globally there are about 50 million soldiers, of which 20 million are deemed to be active. The largest number of soldiers is in countries in Asia, but the majority of the region's defense forces do not yet invest in advanced communication and hearing protection systems. INVISIO's primary target group consists of technologically mature countries in Europe and the USA with higher awareness of hearing protection issues, whose soldiers have access to advanced radio communication during operations. About two million potential users are serving in these countries' defense forces.

INVISIO's personal system reduces harmful noise while amplifying weak sounds and retaining the user's ability to perceive sound direction.
Users retain situational awareness and can act according to what is going on around them.
The annual value of INVISIO's total addressable market is about SEK 13 billion.
INVISIO AB | Interim Report January – June 2020 | 4
Interim report January – June 2020
The value of the global market for INVISIO's personal system in the military and defense area is estimated to be about SEK 20 billion. As a rule, our customers carry out procurements at four-year intervals, which means that the average annual addressable market is worth about SEK 5 billion.
There are currently about 200,000 users of INVISIO's personal system, which means an estimated market penetration of about 10 per cent. Consequently, the outlook for continued growth in the addressable market is good.
The law enforcement and security market for the personal system
For some years INVISIO has had several customers in police specialist units in the USA and Europe. In the past two years INVISIO has intensified the work of marketing its offer to broader categories within police authorities.
In the current phase INVISIO is focusing its marketing on the law enforcement and security markets in the USA and Europe and selected countries in Asia, where there are a total of about 2.7 million police officers. Of these, 700,000 – 900,000 are estimated to be INVISIO's primary target group.
The value of the law enforcement and security market for INVISIO's personal system in these markets is estimated to be about SEK 9 billion. The company estimates that its customers carry out procurements at intervals of five to seven years, which means that the annual addressable market for INVISIO's system is worth about SEK 1.5 billion.
Market for the Intercom system
With the Intercom -system INVISIO is broadening its offer with a unique communication solution to use together with the personal equipment in vehicles, boats and helicopters for military or law enforcement purposes. The Intercom system can be carried by an individual soldier as a portable solution or be mounted in a vehicle or other means of transport.
Market for the portable Intercom system
In a first phase INVISIO intends to focus on the portable offer and direct it towards current users of the personal system. The company estimates that the addressable market could be 25,000 – 40,000 systems.
The company estimates that its customers will carry out procurements at intervals of five to seven years, which means that the annual addressable market for INVISIO's portable Intercom system is worth about SEK 0.5 billion.
Market for the mounted Intercom system
In a second phase INVISIO intends to address the customers' existing fleets of vehicles, as well as vehicle manufacturers and companies that equip them. The company estimates that there are about 650,000 vehicles relevant to INVISIO's offer. The estimated life of the system is about ten years, which gives an annual addressable market of about SEK 6.5 billion.
The annual addressable market for the personal system directed at the defense market is worth SEK 5 billion.
The annual addressable market for the personal system directed at the law enforcement and security market is worth SEK 1.5 billion.
The annual addressable market for the portable Intercom system is worth SEK 0.5 billion.
The annual addressable market for the mounted Intercom system is worth SEK 6.5 billion.
INVISIO AB | Interim Report January – June 2020 |5
Interim report January – June 2020
Competition
INVISIO’s personal system competes with a handful of suppliers. There are for example manufacturers of hearing protection equipment and manufacturers of helmets that offer an integrated communication solution and hearing protection in the form of cups.
INVISIO’s system with patented cable technology offers unique system integration and functionality. The offer is further enhanced by the new solution for internal communication in vehicles, boats and helicopters.
INVISIO considers that the company has an advantage in relation to its competitors as regards innovative capacity, well-established relations with its customers and an understanding of their needs.
Sales
Sales are made from the headquarters in Copenhagen and via our own sales offices in the USA, France and Italy, as well as via a global network of partners and resellers. The business is normally conducted via procurements. The Group has long-term framework agreements with defense and law enforcement authorities in the USA, the UK, Canada, Australia and Denmark, among others.
Uneven order flow and sales
INVISIO’s market is characterized by large procurements at irregular intervals. The sales processes are often long, due to extensive administrative processes and customer tests, both in laboratories and among end users. Both order intake and sales can fluctuate substantially between quarters and the company’s development should therefore be evaluated in a longer time perspective than an individual quarter or year.
Financial targets and strategies
The company’s financial target is to increase sales by an average of 20 per cent per year and have an operating margin of at least 15 per cent. In the last five-year period average sales have grown annually by just over 20 per cent and the average operating margin has been just over 23 per cent.
To achieve the financial targets INVISIO uses the following strategies:
- In addition to winning new procurements, increase market share in existing markets by increasing sales in the framework of contracts already signed.
- Broaden the product portfolio through innovative and customer-oriented development
- Address new user groups with similar needs for communication in mission-critical environments as well as hearing protection needs.
- Geographical expansion to emerging markets with long-term potential, including Asia and parts of the Middle East and South America.
- Sustainable and cost-effective operations focusing on both internal operations and external manufacture of the products.

Hearing and communication equipment are important components of critical operations and have been subject to modernization for a number of years, mainly in the defense forces but also in police services.

Hearing loss is a common problem for employees of the armed forces. Soldiers in war-torn areas are particularly affected.
Statistics show that the problems cost the American defense forces billions every year (USD).

Sales and profit
Second quarter 2020
In the second quarter INVISIO has experienced few negative effects of Covid-19. Impact on operations in a shorter perspective is limited but delays in order intake and deliveries cannot of course be ruled out if the pandemic is prolonged. INVISIO holds a stable security inventory for both components and finished products.
Sales in the period April - June 2020 were SEK 123.6 million (137.2), a decrease of 10 per cent in comparison with the same corresponding period in the previous year. In comparable currencies sales decreased by 10 per cent.
Rolling twelve-month sales amounted to SEK 550.2 million (380.6) at the close of the quarter, which means an increase of almost 45 per cent compared with the corresponding period in the previous year.
Sales on international markets are mainly in USD, EUR and GBP. INVISIO hedges large orders to offset currency fluctuations in the short term.
At the close of the period the order book amounted to SEK 99.9 million (90.1). The rolling twelve-month order book amounted to SEK 112.9 million (69.2), which means an increase of 63 per cent compared with the corresponding period in the previous year. INVISIO's market is characterized by large procurements at irregular intervals. Lead times are often long due to extensive processes with customer tests both in laboratories and among end users. This means that the order intake and sales for individual quarters may vary and have an effect on the full year figures.
Gross profit was SEK 79.9 million (87.2) and the gross margin was 64.6 per cent (63.5). Gross margin may vary between the quarters depending on the product mix and the share of direct sales to end-customers.
Operating expenses for the quarter were SEK 55.4 million (48.4). The increase refers to a larger organization and increased activities in accordance with INVISIO's growth strategy.
During the quarter development costs of SEK 5.1 million (8.8) were capitalized. Operating expenses include depreciation of capitalized development costs of SEK 0.7 million (1.1). Depreciation will increase upon completion of products according to the growth strategy.
Operating profit and operating margin for the quarter were SEK 24.4 million (38.8) and 19.8 per cent (28.2).
Net financial income was SEK -0.5 million (-1.3).
Profit before tax amounted to SEK 24.0 million (37.5) and profit for the period was SEK 18.1 million (28.5). Earnings per share were SEK 0.41 (0.65).

Note 3. Taxes

| Liabilities attributable to capitalized development costs in Denmark | -21.0 | - |
| Receivables attributable to other temporary differences in Denmark | 0.3 | - |
| Closing balance | -15.0 | - |
Deferred tax assets referring to tax loss carry forwards are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax losses and unused tax credits can be utilized. An individual assessment is made of each company with reference to historical performance and possibilities of utilizing the loss carry-forwards. Danish legislation limits the yearly utilization of loss carry-forwards, which means that the Danish subsidiary will pay tax for 2020.
The Group's total loss carry-forwards as at June 30, 2020 were SEK 145.8 million (217.1), of which SEK 26.5 million (106.5) are capitalized. The remaining unutilized loss carry-forwards amounted to SEK 119.3 million (110.6) and refer to other companies and cannot be capitalized at present. All loss carry-forwards have an unlimited life.
Note 4. Leases
The Group applies IFRS 16 Leases, which means that assets and liabilities referring to leases are recognized on the balance sheet. The majority of the Group's leases consist of lease contracts for premises. The Group has decided to exclude short-term leases (lease period less than 12 months and low-value leases (up to USD 5,000), which have been expensed directly. On this and the next page a presentation is given of the effect of IFRS 16 on the consolidated income statement, cash flow and selected key figures.
