CEO's statement

Strong sales growth in eventful quarter

Sales grew by a solid 25 percent in the second quarter compared to a weak comparative period in 2017. We're now starting to see the results of the initiatives we've implemented over the past year, which is positive. By entering the value chain at an earlier stage, we're addressing more operators and generating a broader and deeper business dialogue.

First order for Nimbra 1060 The annual NAB trade fair in Las Vegas always makes the second quarter an eventful period for Net Insight. The fair is an important networking event for us and for the sector as a whole. As previously announced, we launched Nimbra 1060 at the fair, the next generation platform for media transport. The product received a very positive reception by customers, partners and industry experts, and it was awarded "Best of Show by TV Technology."

Nimbra 1060 is generating considerable market interest, and we won our first order for a European sporting league in the quarter. Sales growth in the quarter was mainly derived from more new Nimbra deals for major live sporting events. For example, we won an order for a new IP based media network for a multi-sports event in South East Asia, and for a national media network in Europe for video assistant referee network, so called VAR. We're extremely competitive when it comes to deals with a high degree of complexity and superior demands on quality, and win a significant proportion of the bids we're involved in. In order to increase the number of smaller deals we're involved in, we need to develop a more attractive offering and new revenue models that will make the Nimbra portfolio more accessible. One example is two rental deals during the period, where the customer rents our solution, i.e. without requiring any major capital investments.

In the quarter, we also launched Sye Streaming Service, which means that customers use Sye as a service in a cloud-based solution without the need for proprietary technical infrastructure. The service is mainly aimed at smaller customers and makes it easier to get started with broadcasting live events such as sporting events, news, games and auctions. We already have some customers in Sweden and the US. We've partnered with CDNetworks, a world-leading provider of live streaming, whereby Sye streaming solutions will be delivered to customers globally. These partnerships and collaborations are important to strengthening our OTT position and reach larger customers and a broader market, thus generating revenues.

Sales in the second quarter totaled SEK 120 million. Operating earnings for the quarter improved by SEK 9 million year-on-year, amounting to SEK -13 million. Earnings were charged with non-recurring costs of SEK -7 million. Our continued initiatives relating to Sye affected operating earnings by SEK -13 million. Underlying operating earnings for core products was SEK 4 million.

The global media sector continues to change rapidly. One example of the high level of activity is a trend towards relatively new media operators adding exclusive live content to their offering, such as Amazon, which has acquired exclusive rights to broadcast select Premier League matches in the UK. Our assessment is that the global media technology market will continue to change. With our customer base and strong product portfolio, we'll remain very competitive in both IP and traditional broadcasting technology.

Net Insight is also experiencing a high level of activity as we're moving in to new state-of-the-art offices in Stockholm and the US during the summer. The change will make us more efficient and provide a more accurate representation of our brand.

While we've presented a strong quarter revenue wise, improvements still need to be made and challenges remain. Net Insight has a high level of competency and highly skilled employees, a strong customer base and a competitive product portfolio, which makes us well equipped in a world that continues to change.

Stockholm July 20, 2018 Henrik Sund, interim CEO

REVENUES

April – June

Net sales in the second quarter of 2018 were SEK 119.6 (95.7) million, up 25.0% on the corresponding quarter in the previous year. With regard to the comparative figures, it's important to bear in mind that the second quarter 2017 was relatively weak. In comparable currencies, the increase was 21.5% as a result of a weaker SEK against the USD and EUR.

In Western Europe net sales were SEK 53.8 (39.9) million, up 35.0% year-on-year. The increase was mainly attributable to increased activity from existing customers.

Net sales in Americas were SEK 31.6 (27.9) million, up 13.3%. Here too, the increase was mainly attributable to increased activity by existing customers.

Net sales in Rest of World were SEK 34.1 (27.9) million, up 23.3%. Here, it's worth drawing attention to the previously announced Nimbra deals for a multi-sports event in Asia and VAR (video assistant referee network).

Net sales from hardware were SEK 41.7 (32.7) million, and net sales from software licenses totaled SEK 34.8 (21.8) million. The increase in hardware sales is mainly due to Western Europe and Rest of World. Net sales of support and services amounted to SEK 43.0 (41.2) million.

January – June

Net sales in the first six months of the year were SEK 230.0 (206.1) million, corresponding to an increase of 11.6%. In comparable currencies, net sales increased by 11.2%.

In Western Europe net sales were SEK 102.0 (87.9), up 16.1%.

Net sales in Americas were SEK 68.5 (61.7) million, up 11.0%.

Net sales in Rest of World were SEK 59.5 (56.5) m in the first half-year, corresponding to an increase of 5.3%.

EARNINGS

April – June

Gross profit was SEK 70.8 (55.9) million, up significantly on the second quarter of 2017, mainly due to increased sales but also as a result of a slightly higher gross margin of 59.2% (58.4). Gross profit included amortization of capitalized development expenditure of SEK –13.7 (-15.7) million. Gross margin excluding amortization of capitalized development expenditure was 70.7% (74.8), due to a changed product mix.

Operating expenses in the second quarter were SEK 82.6 (76.3) million, up SEK 6.3 million year-on-year. This was due to increased sales resources and increased resources allocated to the commercialization of Sye. Total development expenditures have gradually decreased, amounting to SEK 34.9 (38.9) million.

Operating earnings were SEK –12.9 (-21.6) million, equating to an operating margin of –10.8% (-22.6). The change is mainly attributable to increased sales, but also a lower gross margin and increased operating expenses.

Operating earnings for the second quarter were charged with SEK 7 (-) million in non-recurring costs. SEK 5 million of these related to staff terminations, including compensation to outgoing CEO, and SEK 2 million relate to provision for remaining lease for the current head office after the move.

EBITDA was SEK –16.1 (-15.9) million, corresponding to an EBITDA margin of–13.5% (-16.6). Activities in development, sales and marketing of the company's live OTT solution Sye affected

operating earnings and EBITDA by SEK -12.7 (-15.8) million and SEK –18.8 (-14.1) million respectively. In the second quarter, net financial items were positively affected by SEK 0.6 (2.3) 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 0.7 (1.9) million.

Profit before tax was SEK –12.2 (-19.8) million, and net income for the period was SEK –9.4 (-13.1) million, corresponding to a net margin of –7.8 (-13.7).

January – June

Gross profit was SEK 136.7 (121.7) for the first half-year. The increase was mainly due to the higher net sales. Gross margin was 59.4% (59.0). Gross profit included amortization of capitalized development expenses of SEK –29.0 (-29.6) million. The higher gross margin was due to amortization of capitalized development expenses comprising a lower relative share of net sales, which was partly offset by lower margins in the second quarter. Gross margin excluding amortization of capitalized development expenses was down on the previous year, and amounted to 72.0% (73.4).

Operating expenses in the second half-year were SEK –147.0 (-135.8) million. Sales and marketing expenses increased by SEK –15.7 million to SEK 89.7 (74.0) million, mainly driven by the increased resources working on sales and marketing. Development expenses totaled SEK –30.0 (-36.0) million. Total development expenditures were SEK 68.3 (78.4) million. The decrease is due to lower development expenditures, mainly in connection with the launch of Nimbra 1060. The company will retain its high rate of investments in order to ensure future competitiveness.

Operating earnings for the first half-year were SEK –10.5 (-14.9) million, corresponding to an operating margin of -4.5% (-7.2). The loss is mainly due to the initiatives in Live OTT, but also the non-recurring costs outlined above.

Net financial items were SEK 2.2 (7.2) million, of which SEK 1.7 (8.4) million is attributable to the revaluation of synthetic options.

Profit before tax was SEK –8.2 (-7.7) million, and net income for the period was SEK –6.4 (-2.0) million, corresponding to a net margin of -2.8% (-1.0). For more information, see the section on Tax on page 13.

INVESTMENTS

Second quarter investments were SEK 29.4 (18.1) million, of which SEK 18.4 (16.3) million related to capitalization of development expenditure.

CASH FLOW AND FINANCIAL POSITION

Cashflow from operating activities in the second quarter was SEK 14.4 ( –11.2) million. Total cashflow for the period was SEK -15.1 (-28.5) million.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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, 2018, Net Insight applies the following new or amended International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS):

  • IFRS 9 Financial Instrument
  • IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments addresses the classification, measurement, recognition, impairment and de-recognition of financial instruments as well as hedge accounting. The effect from applying IFRS 9 does not have any material impact on the group's or parent company's results or financial position and there was no opening balance adjustment in 2018.

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts replaces IAS 18 and IAS 11 and establishes a new mindset for revenue recognition. The new standard is based on the principle that revenue is recognized when control of a good or service transfers to a customer, i.e. under IFRS 15 there is a focus on the 'transfer of control' instead of 'transfer of risks and rewards' under current standards. Net Insight adopted IFRS 15 with full retrospective application. The impact on the group's earnings and financial position for the period January – June, 2017, are presented in the restated income statements and balance sheets below. The net reduction of at January 1, 2017 was SEK -1.7 million. Applying IFRS 15 also includes extended disclosure requirements, hence the table Disaggregation of revenue on page 9.

Effective January 1, 2018, Net Insight presents exchange gains and losses from operating receivables and liabilities in the Income Statement as Other operating income and expenses. Exchange gains and losses from Cash and cash equivalents are, as before, presented as Net financial items. For a description of previous accounting principles, please refer to the note 1.4B in the Annual Report for 2017. The impact on the group's earnings for the for the period January – June, 2017, are presented in the restated income statements below.

The Company adjusted in the last quarter of 2017 its calculation method for capitalized development expenditure in certain development projects. The adjustments have been applied retroactively. The impact on the group's earnings for the period for the period January – June, 2017, are presented in the restated income statements below.

TAX

The group reported tax of SEK 1.8 (5.7) million for the period January – June, 2018. Reported tax corresponds to an effective tax rate of 22 (74) percent. Profit before tax of SEK -8.2 (-7.7) million includes value changes on synthetic options of SEK 1.7 (8.4) 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

SHARE-BASED INCENTIVE PROGRAMS

During the second quarter of 2018, after decisions at the AGM, Net Insight introduced a synthetic option program, where the participants acquired the synthetic options at market price. The program addresses employees in Sweden. The terms and the accounting policies for the program corresponds to the years-2015 & 2017 program, see pages 61–62 of the

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 71.2 million at the end of the period, compared to SEK 55.8 million as of December 31, 2017. Deferred tax assets has been recognized for the tax loss carry-forwards and the new tax rates in Sweden from January 2019 have been taken into account in the valuation.

Annual Report for 2017. The calculation of the fair value on the grant date was based on the conditions stated in the table below.

During the second quarter of 2018, the 2015 program was settled.

Synthetic options, the calculation of the fair value on the grant date
was based on the following conditions: Sweden
Averaged volume-weighted price paid for the Net Insight B shares, SEK 4.36
Strike price, SEK 5.20
Assuemed volatility 1 36%
Term 3 years
Risk-free interest -0.39%
Adjusment of fair value due to CAP, SEK -0.02
Fair value, SEK 0.76
Number of options issued, thousands 1,575

1) The assumed volatility was based on future forecasts based on the historical volatility of Net Insight B shares and other public shares, which are considered comparable with Net Insight.
