Interim report January - June 2021
Launch of new technology platform. A gradually more active market.
We can note that our markets, as vaccinations are rolled out, slowly but surely are starting to return to normal. As far as INVISIO is concerned, this is clearly apparent in that more and more customers and partners can receive visits and implement testing of our equipment. This trend is strongest in the USA and can now be seen in several markets in Europe, where increased travel possibilities and gradual opening up facilitate marketing and selling.
The trend is reflected in the order intake, which was SEK 167.3 million (107.3) in the quarter. We note that the trend towards more but smaller orders continues, which ultimately give the revenue side more stability and slightly less dependence on the really large orders.
Sales in the quarter were SEK 154.3 million (123.6). Sales of products under the Racal Acoustics brand contributed just over SEK 30 million in the quarter.
At the close of the period the order book amounted to SEK 191.7 million (99.9). It is worth repeating 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.
The gross margin was 58.0 per cent (64.6). The lower level, compared with the corresponding quarter in the previous year, is mainly due to the product and sales mix, which can vary over time.
Operating profit in the quarter is mainly impacted by increased depreciation /amortization, which is a consequence of the acquisition of Racal Acoustics and the fact that several newly developed products have recently been launched. All in all, depreciation/amortization amounts to SEK 11.4 million, which is SEK 9.1 million higher than the corresponding quarter in the previous year. Consequently, the EBITDA margin was 16.6 per cent (21.7) and the operating margin was 9.2 per cent (19.8) for the second quarter.
New technology platform future-proofs the offer
One of the most significant events of the quarter was the launch of the new technology platform, the INVISIO V-Series Gen II. It constitutes the next generation tactical communication solution - and in combination with our headsets it sets a new standard for audio performance, communication and hearing protection.
It is not an update of an earlier platform, the INVISIO V-Series Gen II is built entirely from scratch. All in all, this means a paradigm shift from hardware to software with AI technology (artificial intelligence).
The platform's main strength is that it enables a considerably greater degree of flexibility when developing customized solutions and updating. We have taken a major step forward as regards applying new technology.

The solution includes a number of in-house developed and advanced algorithms, as well as AI, which helps the users hear what they want to hear and filter out unimportant sounds and noise. Apart from improving communication and thus contributing to increased safety, the new functions also help to reduce noise-induced tiredness among users.
AI in the new technology platform helps users to hear what they want to hear and filter out unimportant noise.
The new platform is a clear example of how we use technical innovation to continually drive development forward in our industry. With the new technology platform in place we are increasing our lead over our competitors.
Market activity is gradually increasing
In all our focus areas in defense and security we now see increasing activity levels and a growing number of orders.
The single largest order was for SEK 40 million at the beginning of May, received from an existing customer in the US Department of Defense. The order refers to an advanced communication and hearing protection system and delivery will be in the second and third quarters.
Interest in our new Intercom system continues to be great and in the second quarter INVISIO received several new pilot orders from both military and law enforcement customers. The system is currently used by several customers in live environments, which is significant both for continued marketing and continuing development of the system.
The focus on the law enforcement and security market area is continuing. The reinforcement of the sales organization and increased number of distribution partners in the USA and Europe is yielding results. The activity level has been particularly high on the American market.
In the second quarter the Swedish Police Authority also extended its two framework agreements from 2019 for another year. The extension refers to continued deliveries of communication equipment with active hearing protection. The agreements do not guarantee any volumes, but call-off is as needed.
Good prospects of a continued successful growth journey
Increasingly attractive market conditions along with a broadened and strengthened offer mean that INVISIO has good prospects of continuing good development.

Sales and profit
Second quarter 2021
In the second quarter INVISIO has experienced that the negative effects of COVID-19 are starting to decrease. However, the company considers that there is a continued, though limited, delay in order intake.
Sales in the second quarter amounted to SEK 154.3 million (123.6), which means an increase of 25 per cent compared with the corresponding period in the previous year. In comparable currencies sales increased by 35 per cent. Sales of the Racal Acoustics product line contributed just over SEK 30 million in the second quarter.
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 167.3 million (107.3). The order book amounted to SEK 191.7 million (99.9) 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 in laboratories and among end users. This means that the order intake and sales for individual quarters may vary and also have an effect on the full year figures.
Gross profit was SEK 89.6 million (79.9) and the gross margin was 58.0 per cent (64.6). The main reasons for the somewhat lower margin are product mix and share of direct sales to end customers.
EBITDA was SEK 25.6 million (26.8), which resulted in a margin of 16.6 per cent (21.7). The rolling twelve-month EBITDA margin was 19.3 per cent (25.1).
Operating expenses - including depreciation/amortization were SEK 75.4 million (55.4). The increase refers to a larger organization including Racal Acoustics, increased activities in line with the growth strategy and substantially increased depreciation/amortization.
Depreciation/amortization in the quarter amounted to SEK 11.4 million (2.3). The higher level is mainly due to the company starting depreciation/amortization on several completed development projects. This depreciation/amortization amounted during the period to SEK 4.7 million, compared with SEK 0.7 million in the corresponding period in 2020. Of the remaining SEK 6.7 million (1.6), SEK 3.1 million (-) refers to amortization of other intangible assets (customer relations, technology and trademark) arising in connection with the acquisition of Racal Acoustics. Amortization of rights of use assets (leases) of SEK 2.1 million (1.1). is also included, as well as depreciation of property, plant and equipment of SEK 1.5 million (0.5). For further information, please see Note 3 on page 14 of this report.
The operating profit / EBIT was SEK 14.2 million (24.4) for the second quarter of 2021, resulting in a margin of 9.2 per cent (19.8).

INVISIO AB | Interim Report January – June 2021 | 8
Interim report January - June 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 Racial 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 80 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, 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.
