Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 13.5 (-12.6) million.
Net sales increased 2.8 percent to SEK 223.7 (217.7) million (-3 percent in local currencies).
MSAB is a world leader in mobile forensics technology with the aim of extracting and analysing data from confiscated mobile devices, mainly from mobile phones. The Company has its own sales offices and sales representatives in Europe, North America, South America, China, Australia, Singapore, Japan and Russia, and together with a number of distributors, covers most of the world. The proprietary products have become a de facto standard in the field and are used for securing evidence in more than 100 countries. These products are complemented by a wide range of training courses with the possibility of becoming certified in a forensically sound methodology. Customers are primarily law enforcement agencies, such as police, military and customs. MSAB is listed on NASDAQ Stockholm under the ticker symbol: MSAB B.
The third quarter profit after tax amounted to SEK 19.1 million, a 30 percent improvement over the same period last year. This result is based on sales of SEK 93.3 million – the second highest quarterly turnover in the Company's 35-year history.
We have streamlined our ways of working and our sales and marketing efforts, the effects of which I can see in this strong third quarter. MSAB has a gross margin of more than 91 percent. With such a high gross margin, it becomes even more important to focus on growth. An increase in growth automatically means an increase in both profit and the profit margin.
At the beginning of 2018, MSAB began working consciously on strengthening the organisation at a faster pace than we had previously done. The reason we took this decision is simple. We saw that some parts of the organisation needed shoring up to ensure we stay in business. In addition, we saw two major growth areas: decentralised data extraction; and fast, precise analysis of the recovered data. Our solutions are now more efficient and powerful than ever within both recovery and analysis of mobile phones.
Through our decentralised solutions, we offer non-experts the possibility to extract and secure evidence on seized mobile phones in a forensically sound manner. Our success with our Frontline solutions continues. Although this latest quarter has temporarily seen fewer Frontline sales than last year, it remains one of the Company's largest future growth areas. MSAB has installed more Frontline solutions globally than any other company. Every customer, where there is a limited number of experts working on data extraction from mobiles, is experiencing long backlogs in data extraction – unacceptably long backlogs. Frontline is the solution.
We have mapped all major cities worldwide and only a small fraction of these has implemented some form of decentralised solution for securing digital evidence. It is our firm belief that we can help the police become far more efficient in their law enforcement efforts through implementation of Frontline solutions.
Once the content has been extracted from a suspect's mobile phone, it is important to quickly and precisely locate relevant information. Mobile phones contain so much data that it is virtually impossible to find evidence within a reasonable time span by manually searching for relevant information.
XAMN – our analysis tool – has been refined to become the most technically advanced, tactical analysis tool on the market. In just a few minutes and with only three button presses, the police can find exactly what they are looking for amongst millions of artefacts. No other tool available today is as fast and precise as XAMN.
As mobile phones become more and more secure, it has become increasingly difficult to unlock them. Part of our strengthening efforts have been directed successfully to increased support for even the most complex phones on the market. Our goal is to be best in the world at gaining access to the content of all mobile phones present on the market.
We continue to invest in our organisation and our product offering, while at the same expanding our sales and marketing efforts in existing markets and particularly in new regions where we see potential. Synonymous for all our investments is that they are entirely focussed on maximising the great potential we see in those markets where we are active.
I am proud to be MSAB's Chief Executive Officer, because the work we do contributes to the creation of a safer society. With our tools, our customers can become even more efficient in their efforts to prevent crime.
Stockholm, October 2019
Joel Bollö Chief Executive Officer
EMEA & Latin America – the region is experiencing growth compared with last year. This is a clear sign of strength, since a single French order contributed greatly to sales last year, with compensation this year coming from growth in Germany, the Benelux and parts of eastern Europe.
North America – turnover for the region remains essentially the same as for last year, but at a significantly higher level than for the first half year due to federal purchasing occurring to a large extent during the third quarter.
Asia and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) – growth is strong, especially in southeast Asia, but clearly weaker in China. The region as a whole grew somewhat compared with last year.
During the quarter, an updated version of XRY was launched, including support for iOS 13. Furthermore, XRY 8.1 is the fastest version ever, recovering data up to 25 times faster than ever before. There is now support for extraction of data from approximately 28,000 mobile devices.
Sales of training this year is growing somewhat and corresponds to growth in sales of other products. For the period, sales of training represents 8 (8) percent of the total.



Consolidated net sales increased during the quarter 4.4 percent to SEK 93.3 (89.4) million and for the period by 2.8 percent to SEK 223.7 (217.7) million. In local currencies, consolidated net sales decreased 1 percent for the quarter and 3 percent for the period. For comments on revenue, refer to the section Comments on operations and the associated graphs above.
Expenses for goods for resale for the quarter amounted to SEK 9.2 (11.0) million and for the period to SEK 19.2 (26.2) million. Other external expenses for the quarter including depreciation amounted to SEK 19.0 (18.0) million and for the period were SEK 62.9 (51.8) million. Personnel expenses for the quarter were SEK 45.2 (40.3) million and for the period SEK 138.9 (115.7). The increase in expenses, both for the quarter and the period, are primarily attributable to personnel-related investments in products and markets to promote further growth.
EBIT for the quarter amounted to SEK 19.9 (20.1) million, corresponding to an EBIT margin of 21.3 (22.5) percent. For the period, EBIT amounted to SEK 2.7 (24.0) million, corresponding to an EBIT margin of 1.2 (11.0) percent. Net financial income/expense amounted to SEK -0.4 (-0.6) million for the quarter and SEK 2.3 (2.9) million for the period. Profit after tax for the quarter amounted to SEK 19.1 (14.7) million and for the period was SEK 3.8 (20.4) million.

The equity/assets ratio at the end of the period was 40.3 (55.2) percent. Cash flow from operating activities for the quarter amounted to SEK 13.5 (-12.6) million and SEK 7.3 (-23.7) million for the period. Investments for the period amounted to SEK 1.3 (1.1) million and were essentially ITrelated. During the period, dividends were paid out to shareholders totalling SEK 40.6 (40.4) million. Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period stood at SEK 58.0 (70.5) million.
Both consolidated sales and profit tend to fluctuate between quarters, primarily due to our customers' purchasing patterns and single, larger orders. This is illustrated in the diagram below where the substantial variation between individual quarters is clearly visible for sales. Given the Company's relatively fixed expense base, the result is a corresponding variation in profit. When trends are viewed across periods of one year, a more even and stable pattern emerges. However, even when viewed over a one-year period, growth has occurred in waves where, for example, growth in 2015 was strong but more modest in 2016, and then grew significantly again in 2017.
The number of employees in the Group at the end of the period was 192 (165). The average number of employees was 185 (149).

MSAB is not dependent on the seasons in the sense that is normally meant by the term seasonal effects. However, the majority of the Company's customers have a purchasing pattern that follows their budget period. Budget periods differ between countries, but most common in MSAB's largest markets is that they follow the calendar year or end on 30 September. Historically, this has been reflected in sales in such a way that the second half of the year is stronger than the first.
Through its operations, the Group is exposed to risks and uncertainty factors. Information on risks and uncertainties other than currency exposure due to foreign subsidiaries and the fact that most invoicing in Sweden is denominated in foreign currencies can be found in more detail in the 2018 Annual Report. The Annual Report is available on the Company's website.
This report has been prepared for the Group in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, and for the Parent Company in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's recommendation RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities. Information as per IAS 34 is provided in notes as well as in other places throughout this interim report. The accounting principles adopted for the Group and the Parent Company are consistent, unless stated below, with the accounting principles used to prepare the most recent annual report. For short-term financial assets and liabilities, the reported value is a reasonable estimate of fair value. IFRS 16 Leases shall apply from 1 January, 2019. The Company has inventoried all contracts falling within the scope of the new standard, including operational leases already in effect. The analysis showed that in all material respects it is the Group's leases for office premises that are affected by the new standard. The Company has selected the transitional method called the modified retrospective approach. This means that the Company reports an asset relating to future rights of use amounting to SEK 32.3 million as of 30 September, 2019. The value is determined by discounting the future contractual payments with interest from the Company's marginal loans. The corresponding liability for future payments for rights of use amounts to SEK 30.8 million. The transition to IFRS 16 has no material impact on the Company's EBIT or net profit/loss. However, the new standard means that previously reported rental expense is recognised as depreciation and partly as interest expense,
compared with previous years when rental expense as a whole was reported under other external expenses. The Company reports the key figure equity/assets ratio, which is affected by the new standard.
The AGM will be held in Stockholm on 13 May, 2020. Shareholders who wish to have an issue addressed at the AGM must submit a written proposal by 6 February to guarantee the matter's inclusion in the Notice of the AGM.
The Nomination Committee consists of Chairman Erik Hermansson (Humle Kapitalförvaltning AB), and committee members Henrik Tjernberg and Leo Gillholm. The Nomination Committee is tasked with proposing candidates for AGM Chairman, Board members, Chairman of the Board and Auditors, as well as Board and Auditor remuneration and proposals for Nomination Committee procedures.
The Parent Company's net sales for the period amounted to SEK 152.4 (159.0) million. EBIT for the period amounted to SEK -1.7 (19.6) million. Investments during the period amounted to SEK 1.3 (1.0) million and were essentially IT-related. The number of employees in the Parent Company was 142 (123) at the end of the period. Risks and uncertainty factors are the same for the Parent Company as for the Group.
There were no related party transactions during the period other than settlement of internal transactions between the Parent Company and its subsidiaries.

We have conducted a review of the interim report for Micro Systemation AB (publ) for the period from 1 January, 2019 to 30 September, 2019. The Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410 Review of interim Financial Information performed by MSAB's chosen independent auditor. A review consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review has a different focus and is substantially narrower in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA) and other generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Thus, conclusions based on a review do not give the same level of assurance as conclusions based on an audit.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report has not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and for the Parent Company in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act.
