Restructuring shows result, increased efforts in Sye
Revenues and earnings made positive progress, and streamlining initiatives are taking effect. We see considerable potential looking ahead and intend to increase efforts in Sye through a capital contribution.
Sales totaled SEK 129 million in the second quarter, up 7% year-on-year. Operating earnings were SEK 3 million. The positive earnings figure shows that the savings program implemented in the first quarter has yielded results. Operating expenses adjusted for restructuring costs and exchange rate effects decreased by SEK 10 million, or 13% year-on-year. In general, the quarter was good business wise. We signed several promising agreements, including a remote production solution for the FIFA World Cup in France, two deals with NEP and one ScheduALL transaction with the EU Commission. Sales of Nimbra 1060 were very good.
For Sye, we're continuing our important partnership with our Fortune 500-customer according to expectation, i.e. Sye is used for smaller events. As previously communicated, a more extensive launch is not expected until the end of the year at the earliest. We've also signed another agreement with a CDN (Content Distribution Network) provider, which means that Sye now has the support of three CDN providers. The Primetime live quiz app continues to grow, and the concept is being licensed to six countries.
Towards the end of last year, we started the process of modernizing the ScheduALL solution. The new solution was launched in connection with the NAB Show in April, and responses from new and existing customers have been positive. We anticipate a large-scale roll-out and the first deals towards the end of the year.
Over the past 12 months, we've implemented several positive actions: new management, new organization with increased customer focus and clarified operational responsibilities, and an extensive savings program. The savings program, which involved personnel cutbacks in sales, management and administration, has now been completed and we expect the full effect to be reached in the second half-year.
To improve the understanding of the company's results of operations, we've estimated each product area's contribution to operating earnings, based on estimates of common group costs. In the second quarter, Nimbra returned strong positive earnings, while ScheduALL and Sye made a negative contribution in line with expectation. For more information, see our commentary under Earnings below.
During the spring, we carried out a strategic analysis of our three product areas Nimbra, Sye and ScheduALL. We concluded that Nimbra, our core business, is a stable and profitable area that has generated positive earnings and cash flow which have financed development and acquisitions in other areas in recent years. Nimbra is a very strong brand amongst service providers and broadcasters around the world and is known for its leading and high-quality solutions. Nimbra has a very strong customer base, a modern technology platform and a clear product plan. Given the
changes made over the last year in the form of rationalizations and an improved customer intimacy, we're starting from a position of strength and we see a potential for increased growth and improved margins looking ahead.
Sye is our solution for internet-based live streaming. Sye is unique because it combines four key characteristics: high picture quality, low latency, perfect synchronization and massive scalability. This has attracted considerable market interest, and we had a breakthrough in the form of a license agreement with a Fortune 500 customer at the beginning of the year. This, together with the support from so far three CDN providers, confirms the strength of the Sye solution.
The market for live internet-based streaming services expands rapidly and is expected to grow by close to 50% annually over the next few years.
The strategic analysis indicates a strong potential for Sye based on the unique combination of characteristics, the market growth and the support from major global operators.
We assess that Sye has a technology advantage that will create a window in the market in 1-2 years' time, when we'll be able to establish Sye as the industry standard and gain significant market share, with solid profitability in the long term. To do this, we need to approach and onboard major customers to a significantly greater extent than today, which necessitates increased commercial and development resources. We therefore intend to increase our focus on Sye, which will require a capital contribution in the fall. We are currently evaluating the size and potential forms of the capital contribution.
ScheduALL is our software solution for resource optimization, which was acquired in 2015. We appointed a new management in fall 2018, who was given the task of producing a clear plan for ScheduALL's operations. The plan includes modernization of the solution, with a focus on major customers. The new solution was launched at the NAB Show in April and was very well received by new and existing customers. We see interesting opportunities and are therefore evaluating different strategic alternatives for how to optimize the potential in the ScheduALL business.
Overall, the quarter demonstrates that we're on the right track. We foresee considerable potential for all product areas looking ahead.
Solna, July 19, 2019 Henrik Sund, CEO

Revenues by region are defined by the location of the recipient of the product/services. Nimbra revenues are largely driven by events and can therefore vary significantly by region over time. ScheduALL revenues have a significantly higher proportion of repeat sales in the form of support, and therefore vary less by region over time.
The largest changes by region in the second quarter related to Nimbra and a 64% increase for Americas, mainly related to some larger partner deals. Revenues for Rest of World decreased by -29%, mainly related to a major event in the previous period, and for Europe by -3%.

Operating expenses in the second quarter of SEK 71,9 (82,6) million were SEK 10.7 million lower compared to the corresponding period of the previous year. Operating expenses include non-recurring costs relating to staff restructuring of SEK 0.9 (4.1) million. The decrease is explained by lower sales and marketing expenses because of cost saving program and other measures. Sales and marketing expenses were SEK 36.0 (49.7) million, including cost for restructuring of SEK 0.9 (2.8) million. Administration expenses were somewhat lower than for the previous period. Development expenses were SEK 19.9 (16.6) million and increased due to higher R&D expenditure, lower capitalization rate and currency effects Total development expenditure, i.e. before capitalization, increased by some 16%, mainly due to investments in modernization of the ScheduALL solution. Total development expenditure was SEK 40.4 (34.9) million.

compared with using last year's exchange rates. Excluding restructuring cost and currency effects, operating expenses decreased by some 13%, corresponding to SEK 10 million.
Operating earnings were SEK 3.3 (-12.9) million, corresponding to an operating margin of 2.6% (-10.8). Excluding items affecting comparability of SEK –1.0 (-6.3) million, operating earnings were SEK 4.3 (-6.6) million. The higher operating earnings year-on-year were mainly due to increased revenues and lower costs in accordance with the above.
EBITDA was SEK 1.9 (-16.1) million, corresponding to an EBITDA margin of 1.5% (-13.5). EBITDA was affected by SEK 2,.7 million due to the implementation of IFRS16, since office lease as an operating expense is replaced with interest and depreciation. Previous years was not restated at the transition to IFRS 16.
To increase the understanding of the company's underlying performance we have estimated each product area's contribution to operating earnings, based on an estimated allocation of group common cost. Product Area Nimbra contributed some SEK 25 million, corresponding to an operating margin of circa 23%. The contribution from ScheduALL and Sye was SEK -8 million and SEK -14 million respectively. We are considering a change of operational follow-up which going forward may result in our product areas being reported as segments.
In the second quarter, net financial items were positively affected by SEK 0.2 (0.6) million for the revaluation of synthetic options programs due to a lower share price at the end of the quarter. Net financial items amounted to SEK -0.8 (0.7) million.

Operating expenses for the period of SEK 149.2 (147,0) million were SEK 2.2 million higher compared to the corresponding period of the previous year. Operating expenses include restructuring costs of SEK 6.0 (4.7) million, which explains the increase. Sales and marketing expenses were SEK 74.9 (89.7) million, including cost for restructuring of SEK 4.8 (2.8) million. The decrease is primarily a result of efficiency and cost saving measures.
Administration expenses were SEK 34.2 (27.3) million. The increase is primarily a consequence of the reorganization in the fourth quarter 2018, as the cost of product area managers were classed as administration expenses from year end. Development expenses were SEK 40.1 (30.0) million and increased due to higher R&D expenditure and lower capitalization rate. Total development expenditure, i.e. before capitalization, increased by some 14%, mainly due to investments in modernization of the ScheduALL solution. Total development expenditure was SEK 77.8 (68.3) million. In total, operating expenses were affected by SEK 6.0 million in costs for restructuring and by SEK 6.5 million in exchange rate effects when translating foreign subsidiaries, compared with using last year's exchange rates.

EBITDA was SEK -7.4 (-17.1) million, corresponding to an EBITDA margin of -3.15% (-3.5).

The contribution from ScheduALL and Sye was SEK -18 million and SEK - 24 million respectively.
In the first six months, net financial items were positively affected by SEK 0.4 (1.7) million for the revaluation of synthetic options programs due to a lower share price at the end of the quarter. Net financial items amounted to SEK 0.5 (2.2) million.

Second quarter investments were SEK 21.0 (29.4) million, of which SEK 20.5 (18.4) million related to capitalization of development expenditure. Depreciation and amortization in the period totaled SEK 19.2 (13.7) million, of which SEK 14.1 (13.7) million related to amortization of capitalized development expenditure. The increase in other depreciation and amortization is due to the implementation of IFRS 16 and the relocation to new offices in Stockholm and Miami in the second half of 2018, which also explains the high investments in other assets for the previous period.
Investments for the first six months were SEK 38.5 (51.2) million, of which SEK 37.7 (38.1) related to capitalization of development expenditure. Depreciation and amortization in the period totaled SEK 38.9 (31.7) million, of which SEK 28.7 (29.0) million related to amortization of capitalized development expenditure.

Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital in the second quarter was SEK 22.7 (6.1) million. Total cash flow was SEK -12.3 (-15.1) million. The negative cash flow was mainly due to and increase in working capital of SEK 12.1 million for the quarter, primarily due to a decrease in liabilities. Cash flow from operating activities covers investments in development projects.
Cash flow for the six months period was SEK -44.2 (-28.6) million.
Cash and cash equivalents were SEK 48.9 million at the end of the quarter, against SEK 92.9 million as of 31 December 2018.

The decrease in the equity/assets ratio was mainly due to effects of new accounting principles for leases (IFRS 16). Excluding the effects of IFRS 16, the equity/assets ratio was 74.9% at the end of the period.
For more information about share repurchases and share structure, see the section Contributed equity on page 13.
The volatility in net working capital is high and tied up working capital is at a high level relatively to the cash position. To avoid working capital impact on investments during the second half of the year, the company has for prudence reasons after the reporting date signed a SEK 50 million bank credit arrangement on market terms. The target is not to utilize the credit. The credit term is until year end, and it is secured through guarantee (funds on blocked account) by Briban Invest AB, the company's largest shareholder.

This Interim Report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and applicable regulations of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The Interim Report of the parent company complies with chapter 9 of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, Interim Financial Reporting, and RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities.
Disclosures in accordance with IAS 34 are presented in the interim financial statements and the associated notes as well as elsewhere in the interim financial report.
Effective January 1, 2019, Net Insight applies the following new or amended International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS): • IFRS 16 Leases
IFRS 16 Leases will replace IAS 17 Leases and the related interpretations IFRIC 4, SIC-15 and SIC-27. The definition of a lease is amended which impacts the accounting both from a lessee and lessor perspective. The new standard includes more specific guidance on if and when leasing is embedded in a ser-vice contract. The parent company has chosen not to apply IFRS 16 according to exceptions in RFR 2.
The standard requires assets and liabilities arising from all leases, with some exceptions for short agreements and agreements of low value, to be recognized on the balance sheet. This model reflects that, at the start of a lease, the lessee always obtains the right to use an asset for a period of time and has an obligation to pay for that right. The main types of assets leased by the Company are real estate.
The accounting for lessors will be based on the same classification as of an operating or finance lease under IAS 17. This means that if the Company, as a lessor, substantially retains the ownership rights and obligations of the asset, then the lease is classified as an operating lease. On the contrary, the lease is classified as a finance lease if the ownership rights and obligations of the asset are transferred to the lessee. The Company's lease arrangements are normally short in time, related to specific events.
The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. The Company applied the new standard as from January 1, 2019. The Company elected to implement the standard using the modified retrospective method, meaning that the agreements are recalculated as of January 1, 2019, with the cumulative effect being adjusted to the opening retained earnings balance at transition date. Previous years was not restated.
At transition, the Company, as a lessee, recognized lease liabilities for leases previously classified as operating leases. The weighted average incremental borrowing rate applied to lease liabilities recognized in the balance sheet at the transition date was 3.4%. Right-of-use assets were recognized based on the amount equal to the related lease liability. At transition the change of right-of-use assets were an increase of SEK 62 million and for current assets a decrease of SEK -2 million, and for noncurrent lease liabilities an increase of SEK 50 million, current lease liabilities an increase of SEK 9 million and that equity has changed with SEK 0 million.
The income statement is affected because the total expense is typically higher in the earlier years of a lease and lower in later years. Additionally, operating expense is replaced with interest and depreciation, so key metrics like EBITDA are changed. For the periods April-June, 2019, and January-June, 2019, IFRS 16 affected Gross earnings by 0.0 MSEK and 0.0 MSEK, respectively, Operating earnings by 0.1 MSEK and 0.3 MSEK, respectively, Profit/loss before tax by -0.3 and -0.7 MSEK, respectively, and Net income by -0.3 MSEK and -0.5 MSEK, respectively. For EBITA the effect of IFRS 16 was SEK 2.7 million for the period April-June, 2019, and SEK 5.3 million for the period January-June, 2019.
The timing of the cash flows is not impacted. Operating cash flows will are higher as cash payments for the principal portion of the lease liability are classified within financing activities. Only the part of the payments that reflects interest can continue to be presented as operating cash flows.
The Company had no material impact on lessor accounting at transition.
Leasing when the Company is the lessee
The main types of assets leased by the Company are, in the order of materiality, real estate, IT- and office equipment.
The Company recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities arising from all leases in the balance sheet, with some exceptions. This model reflects that, at the start of a lease, the lessee always obtains the right to use an asset for a period of time and has an obligation to pay for that right.
In the assessment of a lease contract the lease components are separated from non-lease components and the lease term is defined considering any extension or termination options.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the incremental borrowing rate.
Lease payments included in the liability are fixed payments, variable payments depending on an index or rate, residual values and penalties for termination of contracts.
The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which equals the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received plus any initial direct costs, and restoration costs.
The Company applies the recognition exemption for short-term leases and leases for which the underlying asset is of low-value recognizing the lease payments for those leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Leasing contracts with the Company as lessor are classified as finance leases when the majority of risks and rewards are transferred to the lessee, and otherwise as operating leases. Under a finance lease, a receivable is recognized at an amount equal to the net investment in the lease and revenue is recognized in accordance with the revenue recognition principles.
Under operating leases the equipment is recorded as property, plant and equipment and revenue as well as depreciation is recognized on a straightline basis over the lease term.
The Company's lease arrangements are normally short in time, related to specific events.
As of January 1, 2019, the CEO no longer follows the business by geographical regions, hence the segment information from January 1, 2019 is presented as one segment. The company are considering a change of operational follow-up which going forward may result in our product areas being reported as segments.
Except for stated above, the same accounting principles and basis of calculation as those used in the latest Annual Report have been applied to the group and parent company. For a description of these accounting principles, please refer to the Annual Report for 2018.
The preparation of the Interim Report requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the company's earnings and position and information presented generally. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The transition to IFRS 16 has led to new estimates and judgements, such as criteria for assessing which agreements meet the definition of a lease agreement, and determining lease periods and discount rates.
Figures in brackets in this report refer to comparison with the corresponding period or date in the previous year, if not stated otherwise. Divergences due to rounding may occur in this report.
The group reported tax of SEK 1.8 (1.8) million for the period January–June, 2019. Reported tax corresponds to an effective tax rate of 22 (22) percent. Profit before tax of SEK –8.1 (-8.2) million includes value changes on synthetic options of SEK 0.4 (1.7) million. The value change on synthetic options is not taxable if an income, or tax deductible if a cost. Hence, the relative share the value change on synthetic options is of profit/loss before tax has a significant effect on the differences in the effective tax rates between periods. The effective tax rate is also affected by the relative effects of foreign tax rates and temporary differences.
Remaining tax loss carry-forwards for group companies amounted to SEK 141.0 million at the end of the period, compared to SEK 145.4 million as of December 31, 2018. Deferred tax assets has been recognized for the tax loss carry-forwards.
During the period December 21–28, the parent company repurchased an additional 470,000 B shares on Nasdaq Stockholm for a total of SEK 1.2 million. Since the company was registered as the owner of these shares in 2019, these are reported as repurchased shares in 2019. During 2019, the parent company acquired another 230,000 of its own class B shares through purchases on Nasdaq Stockholm for SEK 0.6 million. In total, the Company has purchased 700,000 of its own shares and the total amount paid to acquire the shares, net of income tax, was SEK 1.8 million.
At the end of the reporting period, the parent company had a total of 7,175,000 of its own class B shares, at an average cost of SEK 4.44 per share and with a par value of SEK 0.04 per share. The shares are held as own shares. The parent company has the right to reissue these shares at a later date.
All shares issued by the parent company were fully paid.
