"The first half 2022 results were quite good, with revenue up 7.7% from the same period last year. It is our assessment that demand fell somewhat at the beginning of the summer due to market conditions, but now, in late summer, it seems to have recovered. The first half operating earnings are satisfactory, with EBITDA improving by more than 7.6% from the first half of last year. It is also pleasing to see Tempo's good results following the acquisition of ALM and Roadmunk, as the company continues to deliver good revenue growth despite a degree of uncertainty in the global markets.
There continues to be good demand for products and solutions in End-User Equipment, with sales increasing by 10.4% in the first half of the year. Product flow has been somewhat irregular since the war in Ukraine and Covid and therefore a considerable portion of our revenue will shift to the second half of the year; we are currently seeing a similar turnover increase in the first weeks of the third quarter as we experienced at the beginning of the year. The unit is performing well, with EBITDA up more than 15% over

last year. The outlook is overall quite good, the product flow seems to be getting more normal and the tourism industry is experiencing a considerable uptick in business.
Origo's Service Solutions unit has been in a transformation phase over the last 12-18 months, with changes to the product and service offering delivering improved results as well as creating several good opportunities for growth. The first half delivered a 3% increase in revenue and a 138% improvement in EBITDA profitability. Priorities have been better defined and a stronger framework has been created around service delivery, combined with better utilization of the opportunities presented by the transformation needs of our customers. Today, customers are much more aware of the importance of IT security and the demands on service providers are ever increasing. Origo intends to be the first choice when it comes to secure operations, and with that in mind we will ensure that our message to the market serves that objective.
In addition to these changes to the core operations of Service Solutions, we have invested in three growth companies related to digital infrastructure:
Software sales continue to grow with revenue up 2.1% in the first half of the year. However, as in End-User Equipment, we noticed a slight decrease in demand at the start of summer. This can probably be attributed to increased summer holidays following Covid. Nevertheless, own software subscription revenue grew more than other software revenue in both quarters of the first half of the year, and there was particularly strong revenue growth in core areas such as HR solutions, quality management systems, banking solutions and financial solutions. During this period, we concluded contracts with large organizations such as Digital Iceland, KPMG, Öryggismiðstöðin, the Icelandic Meteorological Office, the Icelandic Welfare Office and the Town of Hafnarfjörður.
Applicon is in a similar position as last year. Revenue declined slightly due to one-time license sales last year, but the operating results are similar due to higher consulting revenue. Applicon has traditionally generated most of its revenue from license sales and consultancy within the banking sector. In recent years, the company has increased its focus on financial leasing companies and treasury management in general industries. The project status for the second half of the year is quite good. Applicon is also currently working on the development of two software products with the aim of changing its revenue composition for the future. Investment in new products was about ISK 20 million higher compared to first half of 2021.

Tempo performed well in the first half of the year, delivering 25% revenue growth and total revenue of USD 46 million. The company's adjusted EBITDA amounted to 28% over the same period. The company's revenue figures now reflect last year's acquisition of ALM Works and Roadmunk; over the past months, the company has been focused on the consolidation of the three businesses along with the restructuring of Roadmunk's operations. The marketing, sales, operations and finance teams of the three companies are now working together, and the next phase is achieving the same for their product and software teams. The year has been somewhat affected by the market uncertainty created by the war in Ukraine and the company has had to put considerable energy and effort into relocating ALM's Russia operations, causing some delays. This has resulted in more caution in the company's operations. However, the company continues to see a good trend in subscription income and its profitability targets are being met. The company continues to focus on increasing revenue with special emphasis on cross-selling between units and further strengthening of relationships with partners.
The outlook for our operations is good despite some signs of a slowdown in the IT market at the beginning of summer. We are in the implementation phase of the strategy we developed last year and have the building blocks for success, which will further strengthen the Company going forward - for the benefit of our customers, employees and shareholders. In the short term, we are exploring the opportunities created by the transformation of our Managed Services and Infrastructure division: To achieve increased productization so that we can more easily maintain the quality of our services, lower prices, create a stronger framework for business software development, as well as making use of our strength in the enduser equipment market. In the long term, we are working according to clear future goals and will continue to develop our staff and technical environment to deliver products that improve life. The Company is operationally sound and is well placed to adjust to any adverse changes to the current favourable IT environment."
