Interim Report January–September 2023


INVISIO®

Strong sales and a healthy order book

“The group continued to make progress during the third quarter, recording revenue of more than SEK 300 million – the highest ever for a single quarter. Order intake surpassed SEK 250 million and the order book stood at more than SEK 700 million at September 30. Our previous guidance of strong revenue and profitability in the coming quarters therefore remains unchanged.”

CEO's comments

Strong sales and a healthy order book

The positive trajectory of the first six months of the year continued in Q3. Revenue of more than SEK 300 million was a record for a single quarter. Order intake surpassed SEK 250 million, and at the end of the period the order book stood at more than SEK 700 million.

The investments we have carried out in recent years have enabled us to expand both our offer and our customer base, allowing us to forge a group that is both stronger and more stable. The effects of this are clearly visible in rolling 12-month (R12) revenue, which at just under SEK 1.2 billion has almost doubled since this time last year. Our maturity has also helped reduce some of the volatility we experienced previously. This makes our manufacturing more efficient and enables us to plan more effectively.

Solid profitability

The gross margin exceeded 60 percent both in Q3 and for the nine-month period, which is satisfying.

Operating costs, excluding depreciation and amortization, increased by 33 percent in the year to date. This increase was exacerbated by the depreciation of the Swedish krona during the period. In comparable currencies, operating costs rose by 25 percent. This translates to a currency effect of about SEK 21 million.

The operating margin for the two periods was 16 percent and 20 percent respectively, outperforming our target of more than 15 percent over time.

Our company culture is a success factor

INVISIO has a strong company culture, evidenced by low employee churn and short-term absence rates and remarkably high employee satisfaction as measured by our employee Net Promotor Score. Our annual incentive program for all employees and with ambitious financial targets play a key role in nurturing the INVISIO culture.

The strong order inflow and profitability we have recorded this year led us in Q3 to make an extra provision to the incentive program, over and above the planned amount.

High levels of market activity

Underlying our performance this year is a generally high level of activity in our markets, especially in Europe. It is nevertheless important to emphasize that current sales are largely a result of past modernization and renewal decisions. The impact of increased defense spending, particularly in Europe, is still to come and will be felt further into the future.

Major interest in new products

During Q3 the group attended two of the most important trade fairs in the industry – DSEI in London and AUSA in Washington, DC – which together attract more than 70,000 visitors. These events gave us the opportunity to present two of our newest and most advanced products. Our V60 II ADP control unit, with integrated AI technology, supports audio and data traffic while also optimizing user electricity consumption. Its ability to combine audio and data in a single device has proved to be highly popular. We were also able to demonstrate our new advanced RAW000 Magna™ headset, developed for the most demanding in-vehicle environments. Interest was also strong in this product, which has raised the bar in terms of what users can expect from a modern digital headset.

Moving forward in sustainability

Sustainability is increasingly used as a procurement parameter and this fact, combined with tougher EU regulations, prompted us to launch a major environment, social and governance [ESG] project earlier this year. Q3 saw the completion of the first phase of this initiative.

Delivering high quality and taking care of users and the environment have formed a natural part of our approach from the beginning. We work only with established partners that share our values when it comes to sustainability, working conditions, business ethics and quality. Although our climate and environmental impacts are limited, we are nevertheless committed to continuous improvement. I firmly believe that demand for greater sustainability will give us a competitive advantage and further strengthen our offer.

Strong outlook for demand

As we review the first nine months of 2023, we note that market activity remains high. Defense spending in Europe is at its highest level since the 1990s and we believe it will remain high for a long time to come. For that reason, we expect order intake to remain strong and we reiterate our view that revenue and profitability will remain strong over the course of coming quarters.

Order intake, sales and profit

Q3 2023

Order intake in the third quarter totaled SEK 258.4 million (291.0). At September 30, the order book stood at SEK 717.5 million (615.5), most of which will be delivered in the coming quarters.

Revenue in Q3 rose to SEK 311.6 million (195.1), an increase of 60 percent compared to the same period last year. In comparable currencies, revenue increased by 48 percent.

Gross profit totaled SEK 190.9 million (113.3) and the gross margin was 61.3 percent (58.1). The primary factors affecting the gross margin are the ratio of direct sales to distributor sales, and the product mix during the reporting period.

Operating expenses including depreciation and amortization were SEK 139.7 million (95.8), an increase of 46 percent from the same period last year. Compared to Q2,

Q3 revenue by region (%)

img-4.jpeg

  • North America 58 %
  • Europe incl Sweden 39 %
  • Rest of the world 3 %

See Note 2 for further information.

costs rose by 18 percent. This increase was due first and foremost to an extra provision made to the group's incentive program in response to strong profitability and order inflow during the year. Increased marketing activities, including travel, attendance at trade fairs and a large number of customer visits also played a part.

EBITDA was SEK 66.5 million (29.3), equivalent to a margin of 21.4 percent (15.0). The increase in profitability primarily reflected higher sales and the scalability of the INVISIO business model.

Development costs of SEK 10.1 (4.1) were capitalized during the quarter.

Depreciation in the quarter amounted to SEK 15.3 million (11.9). Depreciation and amortization expenses relating to completed development projects were SEK 6.5 million (5.3). Of the remaining SEK 8.8 million (6.6), SEK 3.4 million (3.2) related to amortization of other intangible assets, SEK 3.1 million (2.0) to amortization of rights of use (leases) and SEK 2.4 million (1.3) to depreciation of property, plant and equipment. See Note 3 for further information.

Operating profit (EBIT) was SEK 51.2 million (17.5) and the operating margin was 16.4 percent (9.0). The average operating margin for the last 20 quarters stands at 14 percent. Net financial income was SEK 3.3 million (1.6). Profit before tax was SEK 54.6 million (19.0) and net profit for the period totaled SEK 40.2 million (13.5). Earnings per share were SEK 0.88 (0.30).

Order intake, sales and profit (ctd.)

January–September 2023

Revenue for the nine months ended September 30 totaled SEK 892.8 million (486.2), an increase of 84 percent compared to the same period last year. In comparable currencies, revenue increased by 73 percent.

Twelve-month rolling (R12) revenue was SEK 1,181.9 million.

Gross profit totaled SEK 548.8 million (283.7) and the gross margin was 61.5 percent (58.4).

Operating expenses including depreciation and amortization were SEK 368.3 million (278.4). This increase was according to plan and will allow INVISIO to capture business opportunities in a busier marketplace.

Operating expenses included depreciation and amortization costs of SEK 43.1 million (35.1).

Development costs of SEK 28.1 million (14.9) were capitalized during the period.

EBITDA was SEK 223.6 million (40.5), equivalent to a margin of 25.0 percent (8.3).

Operating profit totaled SEK 180.5 million (5.4) and the operating margin was 20.2 percent (1.1).

Net financial income of SEK -4.8 million (1.6) was reflective largely of currency effects.

Profit before tax was SEK 175.8 million (7.0) and net profit for the period totaled SEK 127.5 million (1.8).

Earnings per share were SEK 2.80 (0.04).

Cash flow, investments and financial position

Cash flow and investments

Group cash flow in Q3 was SEK -15.6 million (-9.7), with cash from operating activities accounting for SEK 1.8 million (4.1). The decrease in cash from operating activities was due to a strong revenue inflow late in the quarter, leading to higher trade receivables.

The cash flow for the nine months ended September 30 was SEK 80.2 million (-23.6), of which cash flow from operating activities accounted for SEK 167.9 million (15.6).

Inventory value increased to SEK 216.8 million (156.4), reflecting an increase in upcoming deliveries.

INVISIO's capacity for fast delivery gives the group a competitive advantage and is partly a consequence of maintaining a relatively large stock of standard products.

Cash flow from investing activities in the nine months to September 30 was SEK -62.8 million (-21.3). This change was predominantly due to a doubling of capitalized product development costs, which were SEK -28.1 million (-14.9). It also reflected purchases of property, plant and equipment of SEK -33.8 million (-6.3) relating to new leases and the extension of existing leases (IFRS 16).

Cash flow from financing activities was SEK -24.9 million (-17.9). The increase was largely due to loan amortization and the shareholder dividend paid during Q2.

INVISIO®

INVISIO in brief

INVISIO's core business is to develop and market advanced communication systems that help professionals in noisy and mission-critical environments to work more safely and effectively while protecting their hearing.

Personal system and Intercom solution

INVISIO's offer consists of 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 personal equipment users to communicate within their group and with others while on the move.

Products are marketed under the INVISIO and Racal Acoustics brands.

A growing niche market

INVISIO primarily serves customers in the defense, law enforcement and security industries in the US and Europe and selected countries in Asia.

The company estimates the total addressable market for personal equipment and the Intercom system to be worth about SEK 14 billion annually.

Around 85 percent of revenue comes from European and US defense customers. However, we see steadily increasing business opportunities in the law enforcement and security markets as well as in new geographical markets.

Sales primarily through own channels

Sales are driven by head office teams in Copenhagen and by INVISIO sales offices in the US, France, Italy, the UK and Thailand. A global network of partners and resellers also sells the group's products.

Major business transactions are normally via procurement processes. These are often time-consuming due to extensive customer testing and administrative processes.

INVISIO has long-term framework agreements with customers in the US, Canada, UK, Australia, Sweden and Denmark, among others.

Uneven order and revenue flow and variable delivery times

Order intake and sales can fluctuate between quarters and the company's development should therefore be evaluated over a longer timeframe than any single quarter or year.

For INVISIO branded products, deliveries are usually within 2-6 months. For Racal Acoustics solutions, it is not uncommon for an initial

part-delivery to be made within six months and for remaining deliveries to be completed only after 1-3 years, in line with the customer's roll-out plans and vehicle deliveries.

Organization geared to core business

INVISIO focuses on product development and sales, with European contract manufacturers handling most of the production. Outsourcing manufacturing to external partners ensures the flexibility to manage variations in order volume.

High growth with sound profitability

INVISIO is a growth company whose financial targets are average sales growth of 20 percent per year and an operating margin exceeding 15 percent over time.

In the five-year period 2018-2022, average annual sales growth was approximately 16 percent and the average operating margin was around 14 percent.

The share is listed on Nasdaq Stockholm in the Mid Cap segment.
