INVISIO®
Best quarter in the company's history with strong order intake, sales and profit
INVISIO starts 2023 strong, reporting the best quarter in the company's history. Both order intake and revenue are at a higher level than before. This also means stronger gross and operating margins. The forward-looking investments, a substantial order book and an increasingly active market mean that we predict continued positive growth for the year.
Lars Højgård Hansen, CEO

Important events during the quarter
- INVISIO was awarded a contract with a European non-NATO country's army and received a first order. The value of the order amounts to approximately SEK 40 million and refers to INVISIO's advanced and AI-driven system for communication and hearing protection. Large parts of the country's special forces are already customers.
- The company received its largest Intercom order to date. The customer is a European NATO country and the order value is about SEK 40 million. The customer has previously placed several orders for the system, to a combined value in excess of SEK 100 million.
- The Racal Acoustics brand received a breakthrough order in the North American market for the new RA4000 Magna™ headset. The order value is SEK 42 million.

CEO's comments
Best quarter in the company's history with strong order intake, sales and operating profit
INVISIO starts 2023 strong. Both order intake and revenue were in excess of SEK 300 million for the quarter. The product mix has had a positive impact on the gross margin, while suppliers' announced price increases have not yet fully taken effect, in part due to earlier inventory build-up. Furthermore, the operating margin was strengthened through increased sales.
It is also worth noting that the aggregate order intake, rolling 12 months, exceeded SEK 1 billion for the third quarter in a row.
This reflects an increasingly active market. The geopolitical instability has meant a substantially increased focus on defense and security, which impacts priorities and budgets for many countries – and will probably continue to do so for a long time to come.
This development is also a direct consequence of INVISIO having advanced its positions in a number of areas in the past three years. We have virtually doubled resources in R6D and sales, moved from hardware focus to software-based solutions using AI. In addition we have worked actively to both broaden and deepen the product portfolio. We have added the Intercom system and Racal Acoustics solutions for vehicle environments to the personal system for users in the field. The company's focus also includes more customer groups in the form of law enforcement and security.
All in all, these changes mean that INVISIO today is a considerably stronger company than it was just a few years ago. This, combined with
our scalable business model, means that we have good prospects of meeting the business opportunities offered by an increasingly active market.
Another army contract
During the quarter a framework agreement was signed with a European non-NATO country. At the same time a first order was received worth approximately SEK 40 million. The order was for INVISIO's advanced and AI-driven system for communication and hearing protection, developed specifically for use in extremely challenging environments.
The contract is significant, as it probably marks the start of a customer relationship that will last for several years. Our assessment is that there are good prospects of further orders in the future.
INVISIO already supplies large parts of the country's special forces. The fact that the regular army and special forces use the same equipment enables seamless interaction, increased collaboration opportunities and other tactical advantages, which give users uniform and ultramodern functionality.
Breakthrough for Racal Acoustics in the USA
In February a first major American order for Racal Acoustics' new headset, the RA4000 Magna™, was received. The order means a breakthrough for the brand in the North American market.
As previously communicated, Racal Acoustics' position has been strengthened through the decision of one of the major actors to discontinue their competing product line.
Several orders for the Intercom system
Early in the year INVISIO received another major follow-up order for the Intercom system. The customer is a European NATO country that has previously placed several orders for the system. The combined value of the orders is more than SEK 100 million.
The orders are clear confirmation that the solution meets the high requirements of a NATO country for a modern communication system.
Positive expectations for 2023
The extensive forward-looking investments carried out in recent years, combined with a substantial order book and a generally strong market, means that we predict continued strong sales, order intake and profitability in 2023.

Order intake, sales and profit
First quarter 2023
The order intake in the quarter amounted to SEK 315.2 million (396.8). The order book at the close of the quarter included orders to the value of SEK 626.7 million (481.7).
Revenue in the quarter amounted to SEK 311.3 million (137.4), which is an increase of 127 per cent compared with the corresponding period in the previous year. In comparable currencies sales increased by 119 per cent.
Gross profit was SEK 194.6 million (82.1) and the gross margin was 62.5 per cent (59.7). Strengthened gross profit was affected by the product mix but has not yet been fully impacted by the suppliers' announced price adjustments.
Operating expenses in the quarter were SEK 110.7 million (85.9). The costs are virtually on a level with the previous quarter but represent an increase of 29 per cent compared with the corresponding quarter in the previous year. The increase is mainly attributable to forward-looking investments in accordance with the growth strategy in the form of more employees in R&D and sales.
EBITDA was SEK 96.5 million (7.8), which resulted in a margin of 31.0 per cent (5.7).
The earnings growth is mainly explained by increased sales and demonstrates the scalability of INVISIO's business model.
During the quarter development costs of SEK 8.6 million (5.0) were capitalized. The increase is due to a continued high activity level in product development.
Depreciation/amortization in the quarter amounted to SEK 12.7 million (11.6). Depreciation on completed development projects amounted to SEK 6.0 million (5.1). Of the remaining SEK 6.7 million (6.5), SEK 3.2 million (3.3) refers to amortization of other intangible assets. Amortization of rights of use (leases) of SEK 2.0 million (1.8) is also included, as well as depreciation of property, plant and equipment of SEK 1.5 million (1.4). See Note 3 for further information.
The operating profit (EBIT) was SEK 83.9 million (-3.8). The operating margin was 26.9 per cent (-2.8). Increased sales have had a strong positive impact on earnings.
Net financial income was SEK -0.2 million (-0.2). Profit/loss before tax amounted to SEK 83.6 million (-4.0) and profit/loss for the period was SEK 60.0 million (-4.3).
Earnings per share were SEK 1.33 (-0.10).

The Group's cash flow for the quarter was SEK 61.9 million (-12.8), of which cash flow from operating activities was SEK 80.2 million (3.3). The higher cash flow level, compared with the corresponding period in the previous year is mainly due to stronger sales.

Capitalized development costs were SEK -8.6 million (-5.0) and net investments in property, plant and equipment amounted to SEK -9.8 million (-1.4), which are mainly attributable to additional rights of use in leases.

INTERIM REPORT JANUARY-MARCH 2023
INVISIO®
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 defense as well as law enforcement and security, in the USA and 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 about 85 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 own sales offices in the USA, France, Italy, the United Kingdom and Thailand. Sales are also via a global network of partners and resellers.
Major business transactions are normally via procurements, which are often time-consuming due to extensive administrative processes and customer tests.
INVISIO has long-term framework agreements with customers in the USA, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, Sweden and Denmark, among others.
Uneven order flow and sales and varying delivery times
Order intake and sales can fluctuate between quarters and the company's development should therefore be evaluated in a longer time perspective than an individual quarter or year.
For products under the INVISIO brand deliveries are usually within 2-6 months, while for Racal Acoustics solutions it is not unusual for an initial part-delivery to be made within six months and the remaining deliveries to be made only after 1-3 years, in line with the customers' roll-out plans and vehicle deliveries.
An organizational structure focused on core business
INVISIO focuses on development and sales, while European contract manufacturers are responsible for most of the manufacturing. Outsourcing this 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 whose financial targets are an average sales growth of 20 per cent per year and an operating margin that exceeds 15 per cent over time.
In the five-year period 2018-2022 average annual sales growth was approximately 16 per cent and the average operating margin was approximately 14 per cent.
The share is listed on Nasdaq Stockholm and is in the Mid Cap segment.

> "By enabling safe communication and hearing protection in critical situations INVISIO creates value for both individuals and society as a whole."

- Safer work environment
- Increased operational capacity
- Prevents lifelong hearing loss and related problems
