Strong growth and clarity around Ovzon 3

During the second quarter of 2022, we have further advanced Ovzon's position with our unique and world-leading SATCOM-as-a-Service offering. We see clear signs that our current customers are extending contracts and the use of our services. In addition, an increasing number of potential customers are attracted by our premium service offering and the new applications we can add. We have been in active dialogues with European, American, and international civil and defense organizations since the war in Ukraine started. There is clearly an increased need for high performing and resilient mobile satellite communications for all types of critical missions. We are convinced that this will lead to strategic business. It is however important to note that despite this increased need, sales cycles and lead times are still relatively long. We do have the endurance needed and we are deeply engaged with the most progressive and relevant organizations. Our ability to quickly establish high-performing and secure communication in environments with geopolitical and security concerns where the regular infrastructure is deficient or non-existent is more important than ever before.

With the increased interest and need as a starting point, we believe that it is a clear advantage that we have high performing satellite capacity available that we previously invested in from Intelsat. This means that we immediately are able to deliver Ovzon SATCOM-as-a-Service to current and new customers. However, this does not mean that our potential to grow and take more orders is limited only to our own available satellite capacity. We have the ability to purchase additional external capacity with fast delivery in case of increased order intake. This, until our own satellite Ovzon 3 is launched and operational, which will of course increase our capacity considerably. In addition, Ovzon 3 will increase the value of our unique service offerings, as we can then offer additional flexibility, resiliency, data speed, and mobility to our existing and future customers.

Increased clarity around the launch of Ovzon 3

The details and clarity around the launch of Ovzon 3 have increased significantly in recent months. The critical key components that were previously delayed are now delivered to our production partner Maxar as well as our own developed On-Board-Processor, which is now integrated, and under testing on the satellite. This industry-unique communication platform will make the satellite's capabilities exceptional from many perspectives, but above all,around guaranteed and secure connectivity in all kinds of conditions. Ovzon 3 is now entering the final stages of integration and assembly with active final tests, including the so-called Thermal Vacuum Test. Given that all tests perform well, and that all logistics and coordination is achieved the launch of Ovzon 3 will take place sometime during the period December 2022 to February 2023. We have received this launch slot from our partner Arianespace as part of their total launch plan. The launch of Ovzon 3 will take place at Arianespace's spaceport in Kourou, French Guinea. After launch, it will take another four months approximately before the satellite is in an operational position and can be used for customer deliveries.

Due to the delay in the launch of Ovzon 3, the pre-capacity commitment of MUSD 56.2 from Intelsat General Communications (IGC) has been, in accordance with the agreement, reduced by 5 percent in the third quarter and will most likely be adjusted down by another 10 percent in the fourth quarter to then amount to MUSD 47.8. Considering our solid relationship and collaboration with Intelsat and IGC and the increased demand for our services, it is our assessment that this will not have any impact on future revenues for Ovzon 3.

Good position for the second half of the year

In conclusion, our focus continues to be to drive profitable growth in our core offering, Ovzon SATCOMas-a-Service. We also continue to deliver on last year's clearly increased order intake. Our recently extended agreements with key customers, as well as the new deals we are working feverishly on, show that there are many needs our solutions can fill in a number of geographic markets. It also shows that our go to market method based on close and active customer dialogue, a deep understanding of the customer's environment and operational needs, coupled with well-functioning partnerships, can make initial test installations and smaller orders grow into large contracts.

In addition, there is a tangible appetite for investment and activity in the satellite industry right now, which benefits the entire industry and thus puts the spotlight on companies like Ovzon. Our advanced and reliable technology, our products and premium services, in combination with our ability to deliver quickly means that we have a simple and progressive business model at the absolute forefront. The generally growing macroeconomic uncertainty of the last six months has not affected us or our industry significantly so far. We see that the escalation of security and geopolitical concerns in Europe have instead increased the demand for surveillance, security, and critical communication where traditional communication channels and infrastructure cannot be used or are not available. There is also an ongoing consolidation in the satellite industry, which creates room for Ovzon to focus even more on winning new customers and thus continue to grow. Our previous assessment was that sales for 2022 will be higher than for 2021. That assessment has become more certain, and we now assess that sales will be significantly higher in 2022. Through higher capacity utilization, our profitability conditions have also improved.

I would also like to take the opportunity to thank Ovzon's CFO and my colleague Johan Brandt for his contributions to the company, as he at the end of September will leave his position. The recruitment of a new CFO is in progress. The company is growing and developing rapidly, and we continue to strengthen Ovzon's organization. We work close with the market, and our employees and partners do a fantastic work. We have an exciting fall ahead of us.

Revenue and order intake

Revenue for the second quarter increased to TSEK 77,928 (33,216), which corresponds to a growth of 135% (96% after adjustment for currency movements). Revenue for the first six months amounted to TSEK 177,815 (70,346), which corresponds to a growth of 153% (112% after adjustment for currency movements).

The increased revenue compared to last year is driven by the new orders signed with US DOD, UK MoD and the Italian Fire and Rescue Services during 2021. Together with the company's SATCOM-as-a-Service, the revenue also includes sold satellite terminals of TSEK 38,593 (-) that were delivered during the first quarter 2022. The revenue was also positively affected by the higher average exchange rate for USD, which during the first six months was SEK 9.59 (8.40).

The order intake regarding SATCOM services (excluding terminals) for the period amounted to MUSD 2.1 (3.3) and for the quarter MUSD 2.1 (2.9). The order book for undelivered SATCOM services (excluding terminals) at the end of the period amounted to MUSD 16.5 (10.4) (excluding sold capacity of Ovzon 3).

Operating profit

Operating profit for the second quarter amounted to TSEK -8,810 (-30,910). Operating profit for the first six months amounted to TSEK -26,318 (-61,568). Operating profit has been affected positively by the new contracts (mentioned above), as well as the big number of delivered terminals during the first quarter.

The capacity utilization improved from April 1, 2022, when OHO-13 (IS-37) began to be delivered to the Italian Fire and Rescue Services. However, the operating profit is still affected by unused contracted satellite capacity. One of the steerable antennas on IS-39 was unsold during the first six months and the steerable antennas on IS-37 was unsold during the first quarter. In total, these steerable antennas have affected the operating profit by TSEK -24,320 (-28,509). The unsold capacity has to a large extent been used for tests and customer demonstrations of the company's satellite service.

During the first six months previous year, the company received government grants in the US linked to Covid-19 of TSEK 1,789. The operating profit is further affected by listing costs of TSEK 2,282 for the company's move to Nasdaq Stockholm during the spring of 2021.

The capacity agreement with Intelsat regarding capacity on IS-39 and IS-37 extends over a total of 48 months from November 1, 2020.

Profit/loss after financial items

Net financial items for the second quarter amounted to TSEK 24,966 (-7,638) with a profit after financial items of TSEK 16,155 (-38,548). Net financial items for the first six months amounted to TSEK 31,221 (11,758) with a profit after financial items of TSEK 4,903 (-49,810). The company's net financial items primarily include currency effects on the part of the company's liquidity and group balances that are held in US dollars.

Profit/loss after tax

Profit after tax for the second quarter amounted to TSEK 16,263 (-38,538). Profit after tax for the first six months amounted to TSEK 4,483 (-49,792).

Cash flow

Cash flow from operating activities for the second quarter amounted to TSEK 507 (-51,221) and for the first six months to TSEK -81,575 (-70,301).

Cash flow from investing activities for the quarter amounted to TSEK -51,434 (-61,513) and for the first six months to TSEK -64,920 (-136,835). The investments were mainly attributable to the development of new terminals as well as the company's first own satellite Ovzon 3, a project estimated to be completed during 2022 (see also Note 8).

Cash flow from financing activities for the second quarter amounted to TSEK 102,860 (330,766) and for the first six months to TSEK 102,860 (330,766). During the second quarter, the company subordered MUSD 35 of existing loan facilities and thus strengthened its liquidity. During the second quarter, the company paid loan expenses totalling TSEK 14,249 (9,224). For the first six months the loan expenses amounted to TSEK 23,785 (9,224). Of the loan expenses, interest paid comprises TSEK 9,574 for the second quarter and TSEK 18,010 for the first six months. These have been capitalized and reported as part of the investment activities in the cash flow statements (included in the year's accrued costs and advances paid).

Notes

Note 1: Basis of preparation and accounting policies for the Group

Ovzon applies the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU, the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and the Swedish Financial Reporting Board RFR 1, Supplementary Accounting Rules for Groups. The Group's financial reports are prepared in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and RFR 2, Accounting for Legal Entities. The interim report for the period January – June 2022 was prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Reporting and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Disclosures in accordance with IAS 34 are provided in notes as well as elsewhere in the interim report. The same accounting principles and calculation methods are applied as in the latest Annual Report. New or revised IFRS and interpretations with application from 2022 are not considered to have any significant impact on Ovzon's financial reports.

Note 2: Business segment reporting

The regular internal reporting of results to the CEO and that meets the criteria to constitute a segment takes place for the Group as a whole. The total Group is therefore reported as the company's only segment. In other respects, information is provided for the Group as a whole regarding the breakdown of income from various products and services and geographical areas respectively, see note 5.

Note 3: Fair value of financial instrument

The Group has no derivative instruments or other financial instruments measured at fair value. The fair value of long-term and current interest-bearing liabilities is not considered to deviate materially from their carrying amount. For financial instruments measured at amortised cost (accounts receivable, other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, trade payables and other interest-free liabilities), their fair value is considered equal to their carrying amount.

Note 4: Leasing

According to IFRS 16 (Leasing agreements), an asset (relating to a right of use) and a financial liability (relating to an obligation to pay leasing fees) must be reported in the balance sheet. The lessee shall divide the cost of the leased asset into depreciation and interest payments.

The company's agreement with Intelsat regarding capacity on IS-39 and IS-37 amounts to MUSD 39.4 and runs over 4 years, starting November 1, 2020. Since the capacity leased on the antennas does not correspond to substantially the entire capacity of the antennas, the capacity parts leased are not identified assets and therefore the agreements are not deemed to meet the definition of a leasing agreement in accordance with IFRS 16.
