"In the first quarter of the year we noted a slow but sure increase of the activity level in the market, particularly in the USA. The positive picture is confirmed by the order intake, especially later in the quarter. Integration with Racal Acoustics is proceeding according to plan and in line with the concept: One company with two strong brands."
Lars Højgård Hansen, CEO
IMPORTANT EVENTS DURING THE QUARTER
- The acquisition of Racal Acoustics was completed.
- One more American elite force chose INVISIO and submitted a first order. The order value was less than SEK 20 million but is of strategic significance.
- INVISIO's management team was expanded to include James Ewing, Managing Director of Racal Acoustics.
- The Board of Directors proposes a dividend of SEK 0.70 per share (0.85).

Interim report January - March 2021
Increased activity in the market
The acquisition of Racal Acoustics was completed at the end of January and the work of integration is proceeding according to plan. There is great enthusiasm, and a mutual, high ambition to make the most of the opportunities created by the acquisition. We have already merged the two sales organizations and are now building on the concept: One company with two strong brands.
Racal Acoustics will constitute the center of excellence for products and solutions adapted for use in environments characterized by constant high noise levels. To fully benefit from the expertise existing in Racal Acoustics, the Managing Director James Ewing has joined the Management team.
Increased activity in the market
At the beginning of the year, and particularly in the later part of the quarter, we noted a slow but sure increase in activity in the market, particularly in the USA. As the world returns to a more normal state, we expect that more and more organizations in defense and law enforcement will continue the modernization of communication equipment we have seen in recent years.
The positive picture is confirmed by the order intake, which was SEK 137 million (90) in the quarter. Sales during the quarter amounted to almost SEK 144 million (117), where products under the Racal Acoustics brand have contributed more than SEK 20 million for the two months they have been part of INVISIO.
The order book was strong at the close of the period and amounted to just over SEK 191 million (125). It is worth noting that Racal Acoustics' deliveries may lie further in the future. It is not unusual for a first part-delivery to be within 6 months and the following deliveries within 12-18 months, in accordance with the customers' roll-out plans. For products under the INVISIO brand deliveries are usually within 2-6 months.
The gross margin during the quarter was slightly lower than the average for the full year 2020. The main reason for this is the product mix, but the sales mix also has some influence. Racal Acoustics has a greater proportion of sales via partners than INVISIO.
Full focus on product development and sales.
To best utilize the business opportunities created through the launch of the Intercom system, establishment in the law enforcement and security area and the acquisition of Racal Acoustics, the forward-looking investments in the form of organizational development continued during the quarter.
Our Intercom system is meeting great and growing interest, which has led to a need for further resources in both sales and product development. The augmented organization together with consolidation of Racal Acoustics has meant a slight increase in operating expenses. However, in my opinion we now have an organization that is well-adapted to the current level of activity and in 2021 we will slow down the rate of new recruitment.

Lars Højgård Hansen, CEO

INVISIO's organization is well-equipped, and the rate of new recruitment will decrease slightly in 2021.

INVISIO AB | Interim Report January – March 2021 | 2
Interim report January - March 2021
Our financial performance is impacted by increased depreciation/amortization. This is mainly due to several newly developed products now having been launched, which means we are starting to depreciate development costs. In addition, the acquisition of Racal Acoustics contributes to increased depreciation. All in all, depreciation/amortization amounts to SEK 10.7 million, which is about SEK 8.3 million higher than the corresponding quarter in the previous year.
Important focus areas in 2021
During the rest of the year much effort will go into the continued integration of Racal Acoustics and increasing sales of products under both brands. As regards our Intercom system, we will intensify market penetration further. Our confidence in the opportunities is strengthened by the knowledge that the system is already used in live operations.
As regards our geographical expansion, we will continue to address selected countries in Asia, the Middle East and South America, where we received important initial orders before the start of the pandemic.
Trade exhibitions during the spring are still suspended, but our assessment is that the exhibitions planned for the autumn will take place. This will give us the opportunity to show our new products in a public environment.
Continued roll-out of vaccines and a gradual return to more normal conditions will mean a continual rise in activity level among our customers and a continuation of the global modernization trend for communication equipment and hearing protection. There is therefore every reason to take a positive view of INVISIO's continued development.
Lars Højgård Hansen, CEO
One company - one sales force - representing two strong and market-leading brands.

Interim report January - March 2021
Sales and profit
First quarter 2021
Sales in the first quarter amounted to SEK 143.7 million (116.8), which means an increase of 23 per cent compared with the corresponding period in the previous year.
Sales of the Racal Acoustics product line in February and March contribute just over SEK 20 million.
In comparable currencies sales increased by 26 per cent. Sales on international markets are mainly in USD, EUR and GBP. INVISIO hedges large orders to offset currency fluctuations in the short term.
The order intake in the quarter was SEK 137.3 million (90.3). The order book amounted to SEK 191.5 million (124.9) at the close of the quarter.
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 82.7 million (67.2) and the gross margin was 57.5 per cent (57.5).
Operating expenses excluding depreciation/amortization were SEK 59.2 million (50.4), which gives an EBITDA of SEK 23.5 million (16.8). The EBITDA margin was 16.3 per cent (14.4).
Depreciation/amortization in the quarter amounted to SEK 10.7 million (2.4). The higher level is mainly due to the company having begun depreciation of a number of completed development projects. This depreciation during the period amounted to SEK 4.5 million, compared with SEK 1.0 million in the corresponding period in 2020. The remaining SEK 6.3 million (1.4) includes amortization of other intangible assets (customer relations, technologies and trademarks) arising in connection with the acquisition of Racal Acoustics valued at SEK 2,0 million (-), amortization of rights of use (leases) under IFRS 16, SEK 3.1 million (1.0) and depreciation of property, plant and equipment of SEK 1,2 million (0.4). For further information, please see Note 3 on page 13 of this report.
Operating expenses including depreciation/amortization were SEK 69.9 million (52.8).
The operating profit / EBIT was SEK 12.8 million (14.4) for the first quarter of 2021, resulting in a margin of 8.9 per cent (12.3).
During the quarter development costs of SEK 4.3 million (6.0) were capitalized.
Net financial income was SEK -2.1 million (-0.5).
Profit before tax amounted to SEK 10.7 million (13.9) and profit for the period was SEK 6.7 million (9.4). Earnings per share were SEK 0.15 (0.21).

INVISIO AB | Interim Report January - March 2021 | 7
Interim report January - March 2021
INVISIO in brief
The core of INVISIO's business is to develop and market, on the basis of good customer understanding and innovative capacity, advanced communication systems that help professionals in noisy and mission critical environments to work more safely and effectively while protecting their hearing.
The personal system and Intercom solution
INVISIO's offer consists of both personal communication systems for use in the field and in vehicles, and an Intercom system for use in various forms of transport. The personal equipment reduces high noise levels and enables disruption-free communication in noisy and mission critical environments. The Intercom system makes it possible for users of the personal equipment to communicate within the group and with others while on the move. The products are marketed under the INVISIO and Racal Acoustics brands.
A structurally growing niche market
INVISIO mainly addresses customers in the military and defense as well as law enforcement and security in the USA, Europe and 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 14 billion.
At present more than 90 per cent of revenue comes from European and American defense customers. However, the company sees steadily increasing business opportunities in the law enforcement and security market as well as new geographical markets.
Sales primarily through own channels
Sales are from the headquarters in Copenhagen and via our own sales offices in the USA, France, Italy and the United Kingdom. Sales are also via a global network of partners and resellers. Major business transactions are normally via procurements, which often take a long time due to extensive administrative processes and customer tests. INVISIO has long-term framework agreements with defense and law enforcement authorities in the USA, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, Sweden and Denmark.
Uneven order flow and sales
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.
An organizational structure focused on core business
INVISIO focuses on development, marketing and sales, while selected contract manufacturers are responsible for manufacturing the products. Outsourcing manufacture to external partners ensures the flexibility to be able to manage variations in order volumes.
High growth with sound profitability
INVISIO is a distinct growth company with the financial targets of an average sales increase of 20 per cent per year and an operating margin that exceeds 15 per cent. In the five-year period 2016-2020 average sales have grown annually by just over 18 per cent and the average operating margin has been just over 22 per cent.
The share is listed on Nasdaq Stockholm and is in the Mid Cap segment.
INVISIO AB | Interim Report January - March 2021 | 8
