Continued strong order intake and a well-filled order book
The strong trend continues. The order intake was just over SEK 400 million, which is a record for an individual quarter. The current trend with high order intake and an order book of almost SEK 800 million, as well as a generally active market, means that we stand by previous statements concerning continued strong sales, order intake and profitability in 2023.
Lars Højgård Hansen, CEO

CEO's comments
Continued strong order intake and a well-filled order book
The strong trend also continued in the second quarter of 2023. The order intake was just over SEK 400 million, which is a record for an individual quarter. Sales were about SEK 270 million and the total order book value at the end of the period was almost SEK 800 million.
For the first half year the order intake was just over SEK 700 million and sales just over SEK 580 million, which is double the figure for the first half year of 2022.
Behind this positive development lies a strong market with high underlying demand for our products and systems – but also consistently implemented strategic initiatives as part of the offer and organization that mean we can now draw the full advantage from the increasingly high activity level.
High delivery capacity
In our close partnership with customers we always endeavor to deliver in line with their needs and wishes. This means that sales in a single quarter not always follow the order intake development. The company's development should therefore be assessed in a longer perspective.
Our higher inventory level at the close of the quarter reflects our readiness to deliver in coming quarters.
R12 sales exceeded SEK 1 billion
In terms of rolling twelve months, for the first time sales exceed SEK 1 billion – a very gratifying milestone in INVISIO's history.
Two orders together worth SEK 220 million
During the quarter INVISIO received two large orders for systems under the Racal Acoustics brand, for use in heavy vehicles.
In early June the US Department of Defense submitted an order worth about SEK 130 million, which is the largest order to date in INVISIO's history. Most of the systems, which include the new RA4000 Magna headset, will be delivered in the current year.
The second order was received earlier in the quarter and was worth about SEK 90 million. It was for the same type of system and the customer is a European NATO country. Here too, most of the deliveries will be made in the current year.
Successful integration of Racal Acoustics
We can note that the acquisition of Racal Acoustics in early 2021 has turned out very well. The work of integration has progressed according to plan.
By combining Racal Acoustics' solid product portfolio with INVISIO's global sales organization we have broadened both the offer and customer base.
In all, this gives us greater potential to strengthen our position in an increasingly intensive vehicle market. We see this not least in the USA, one of the single largest and most important markets for us.
The acquisition was partly financed through a loan, which was redeemed in the second quarter. INVISIO is thereby again debt-free.
Demand will continue to be strong for a long time to come
Defense spending in Europe is now at its highest level since the 1990s and it is our firm conviction that it will continue to be high for a long time to come. Behind this is of course the war in Ukraine and generally increased geopolitical uncertainty.
Continued positive expectations for 2023
The forward-looking investments in combination with a strong order book and a generally active market, mean that we stand by previous statements concerning continued strong sales, order intake and profitability in 2023.

Order intake, sales and profit
Second quarter 2023
The order intake in the quarter amounted to SEK 402.0 million (157.7). The order book at the end of the quarter contained orders to the value of SEK 790.3 million (481.7), most of which are to be delivered this year.
Revenue in the quarter amounted to SEK 269.8 million (153.7), which is an increase of 76 per cent compared with the corresponding period in the previous year. In comparable currencies sales increased by 63 per cent.
Gross profit was SEK 163.3 million (88.4) and the gross margin was 60.5 per cent (57.5). The most important factors for the gross margin are the proportion of direct sales versus sales via distribution partners and the product mix during the reporting period.
Operating expenses including depreciation/amortization amounted to SEK 117.9 million (96.7) in the quarter, which is an increase of 22.0 per cent compared with the corresponding period in the previous year.
Revenue by geographical area during the quarter (%)

Europe incl Sweden 47 %
North America 30 %
Rest of the world 23 %
For more information, please see Note 2.
The cost increase compared with the previous quarter was 6.5 per cent. This is in line with the plan and the trend in recent quarters. The increase in operating expenses derives mainly from forward-looking investments in the offer and organization.
EBITDA was SEK 60.5 million (3.4), which resulted in a margin of 22.4 per cent (2.2). 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 9.4 million (5.7) were capitalized.
Depreciation/amortization in the quarter amounted to SEK 15.1 million (11.6). Depreciation on completed development projects amounted to SEK 6.1 million (5.0). Of the remaining SEK 9.0 million (6.6), SEK 3.3 million (3.3) refers to amortization of other intangible assets. Amortization of rights of use (leases) of SEK 3.7 million (2.1) is also included, as well as depreciation of property, plant and equipment of SEK 2.0 million (1.2). For more information, please see Note 3.
The operating profit (EBIT) was SEK 45.4 million (-8.3). The operating margin was 16.8 per cent (-5.4)
Net financial income was SEK -7.9 million (0.3). The main reason for the negative net financial income is the weakened Swedish krona and stronger sterling against the dollar.
Profit/loss before tax amounted to SEK 37.6 million (-8.0) and profit/loss for the period was SEK 27.3 million (-7.3).
Earnings per share were SEK 0.60 (-0.16).

Order intake, sales and profit (cont.)
First half year 2023
Sales for the first half of 2023 were SEK 581.2 million (291.1). That is an increase of 100 per cent compared to the corresponding quarter in the previous year. In comparable currencies sales increased by 89 per cent.
For the first time rolling twelve month sales (R12) exceeded SEK 1 billion.
Gross profit was SEK 357.9 million (170.4) and the gross margin was 61.6 per cent (58.5).
Operating expenses including depreciation for the first half of 2023 were SEK 228.6 million (182.5). The increase is according to plan and enables INVISIO to take advantage of the business opportunities in a more active market.
During the period development costs of SEK 18 million (10.8) were capitalized.
Operating expenses include depreciation of SEK 27.8 million (23.3).
EBITDA was SEK 157.1 million (11.2), which resulted in a margin of 27.0 per cent (3.8).
Operating profit for the period was SEK 129.3 million (-12.1) and the operating margin was 22.2 per cent (-4.2).
Net financial income was SEK -8.1 million (0.1), which mainly derives from exchange rate changes.
Profit/loss before tax amounted to SEK 121.2 million (-12.0) and profit/loss for the period was SEK 87.3 million (-11.7).
Earnings per share were SEK 1.92 (-0.26).
Cash flow, investments and financial position
Cash flow and investments
The Group's cash flow for the first half of 2023 was SEK 95.8 million (-13.8), of which cash flow from operating activities was SEK 166.2 million (11.5). The stronger cash flow level, compared with the corresponding period in the previous year, is mainly due to increased sales.
The inventory value amounted to SEK 196.7 million (141.6) at the close of the period. The increase in inventories is mainly due to impending deliveries.
Cash flow from investing activities in the first half year amounted to SEK -48.5 million (-12.8). Acquisition of property, plant and equipment, which amounted to SEK -29.7 million (-2.0), including new and existing rental agreements (IFRS 16), which were extended.
Cash flow from financing activities was SEK -21.8 million (-12.5). The decrease can be mainly attributed to amortization of the acquisition loan, but also to dividend in the second quarter.
Cash and cash equivalents and financial position
INVISIO is again debt-free, after redeeming the acquisition loan during the quarter. The Group's cash and cash equivalents at the close of the quarter amounted to SEK 232.3 million (125.5).
Equity on the same date amounted to SEK 672.0 million (432.9), which gave an equity/assets ratio of 71 per cent (63).

The first step in INVISIO's strategy in a new market is normally to establish a customer relationship with the special forces in defense and law enforcement. Their very high standards for equipment make them an important reference when addressing broader and larger user categories.
Other information

Net sales for the parent company for the first half year amounted to SEK 0.0 million (0.0). The operating profit was SEK -6.6 million (-6.7). Net financial income amounted to SEK 49.9 million (-1.4), of which dividend from subsidiaries was SEK 52.5 million.
At the close of the period the Parent Company's cash and bank balances amounted to SEK 43.2 million (42.2). Equity amounted to SEK 356.5 million (244.2), which gave an equity/assets ratio of 99 per cent (70). The number of employees of the parent company was 1 person (1).

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 customer tests and administrative processes and.
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 solutions under Racal Acoustics 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.”
Users
- Safer work environment
- Increased operational capacity
- Prevents lifelong hearing loss and related problems
