Quarterly Report
Q4 2021


I am pleased to report continued strong growth for Pexip in 2021. For Q4, I am particularly satisfied with the profitability development of the company, with an EBITDA margin of 4%, which is ahead of schedule in our investment plan. We also had a reduction in yearon-year churn which is now back below 10%, and I am happy to report that we landed some significant new customers. We experienced growth across all our core business pillars, however, the video infrastructure area was negatively impacted by the limited use of offices and delays in roll-out of new video rooms. This is due to the renewed Covid-19 restrictions, as well as delays in our customers' video hardware deliveries due to chip shortages. Moving into 2022, we have redefined our strategy to focus specifically on the three main business areas where Pexip has clear competitive differentiators – video infrastructure, critical meetings and video enablement. We feel confident that executing on this renewed focus and capitalizing on the growth investments made in 2020 and 2021 will enable us to deliver on our ambitions to return to positive EBITDA during 2023 and reach USD 300 million in ARR by the end of 2024

In Q4, Pexip Holding ASA ("Pexip" or "The Company") demonstrated solid year-on-year growth despite a continued delay in sales as a result of uncertainty around office openings. Pexip's subscription base measured in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) reached USD 106.4 million in Q4 2021, up from USD 81.9 million in Q4 2020, representing a year-on-year increase of 30%. This was driven by key wins in both the public and private sectors. In November, Pexip announced the acquisition of Skedify. The addition of the Skedify customer engagement platform to the Pexip portfolio enables Pexip to provide an end-to-end solution to meet the needs of customers in key verticals, such as Financial Services, High-Involvement Retail and HR & Recruitment. In December, the Company held its first Capital Markets Day, using this event to outline a renewed strategic direction with a focus on three key business areas - infrastructure, critical meetings, and video enablement - and key product differentiators, including core transcoding, agnostic infrastructure, and as-aplatform technology. The Company was awarded the 2021 Australia Video Conferencing Services in
Healthcare Leadership Award by global research and consulting firm, Frost & Sullivan. Pexip was also recognized as a Growth and Innovation Leader in the Frost & Sullivan Radar for Global Cloud Meetings and Team Collaboration Services.
Pexip delivered solid growth in Q4 2021, with an increase in ARR of 30% year-on-year to USD 106.4 million. Of the 30% year-on-year growth in ARR, 29 percentage points (pp) are from new customers. Net revenue retention rate, reflecting the percent of retained revenue from existing customers, was 101% year-on-year, including churn of 9.7% year-on-year, demonstrating a positive reduction in year-on-year churn to below 10%. Pexip added new ARR (delta ARR) of USD 6.6 million in Q4 2021, compared to USD 9.1 million in Q4 2020, and USD 4.4 million in Q4 2019. ARR from Pexip's self-hosted Software reached USD 58.8 million in Q4 2021, up 20% year-on-year, while ARR from Pexip as-a-Service reached USD 47.6 million, up 45% year-on-year. The acquisition of Skedify, announced on November 8, 2021, accounted for slightly more than USD 0.9 million of the growth in ARR.

In Q4, Pexip was awarded the 2021 Australia Video Conferencing Services in Healthcare Competitive Strategy Leadership by global research and consulting firm, Frost & Sullivan, for enhancing healthcare services for 13 million Australian residents.
The need to provide increased access and continuity of care in a physically distanced world has never been more profound. Security of information, interoperability and ease of use are essential requirements for video conferencing solutions in the healthcare space. Pexip Health allows patients – regardless of the device or platform they use - to join virtual clinics with a single click, delivering healthcare services from the hospital to the home. Healthcare organizations able to launch the virtual telehealth solution from any web browser, thus eliminating the need to invest in costly video conferencing devices. The one-click meeting capability for web browsers allows healthcare providers to improve the accessibility and delivery of healthcare services
to patients, including those residing in hard-toreach locations far away from physical clinics. In addition, the Pexip platform helps patients save on travel time and costs to healthcare facilities. NSW Health, Queensland Health and Telehealth Tasmania are all examples of organizations utilizing Pexip video technologies.
This type of video enablement solution is a key strategic focus for Pexip and is a rapidly growing market.

Øystein Hem, CFO, continued to lead the Company as Interim CEO during Q4 2021. On February 7, 2022, Pexip announced the appointment of Trond K. Johannessen as CEO, following an extensive international search process. He will join Pexip in May 2022. Øystein Hem will continue to lead the Company until Mr. Johannessen assumes the role as CEO and will thereafter continue with Pexip as CFO.
Following the announcement of the Skedify acquisition in November, Pexip has put in place an integration plan to ensure that the Skedify team is fully integrated into Pexip.
Pexip continued to expand its team in Q4 to fulfil its long-term growth ambitions. By the end of Q4, the Company had 535 employees. The employee turnover ratio for full time employees in the period December 2020 to December 2021 has remained stable at 10.5%.
(Figures in brackets = same period prior year or relevant balance sheet date).
Pexip operates with two main product areas. Pexip self-hosted software, which mainly consists of sales from software license sales and related maintenance contracts, and Pexip as-a-Service, which consists of sales from Pexip's public cloud service.
Consolidated revenue was NOK 265.9 million in Q4 2021 (NOK 229.0 million). The increase was driven by growth in revenue from both product areas, but mainly from the self-hosted software due to strong sales in the quarter. Currency exchange differences between NOK, Pexip's reporting currency, and USD, Pexip's main invoicing currency, has had a small negative impact on revenue compared to the same period last year. Europe, Middle-East and Africa (EMEA) was the largest sales theatre, accounting for NOK 153.3 million (NOK 131.2 million) representing 58% of group revenue in Q4 (57%), followed by Americas, accounting for NOK 95.5 million (NOK 72.3 million) representing 36% (32%), and Asia-Pacific (APAC), accounting for NOK 17.1 million (NOK 25.6 million) representing 6% (11%).
Pexip self-hosted software was the largest revenue area in Q4 2021 with NOK 176.7 million (NOK 159.2 million). Revenue from Pexip as-a-Service was NOK 89.2 million in Q4 2021 (NOK 69.9 million).
Cost of sale consists mainly of data center and hosting for the Pexip as-a-Service, network services, commissions and software licenses, and hardware and equipment. Cost of sale amounted to NOK 18.3 million in Q4 2021 (NOK 16.5 million), reflecting a gross margin of 93% (93%). Cost of sale has mainly increased due to a shift towards cloud compute compared to investing in own or renting hardware, which also reduces investments and operating expenses. This is driven by an increase in service robustness and to ensure a better long-term cost structure. Higher revenues and related hosting and network cost
from products requiring cloud compute is also a driver for higher cost of sale, while it reduces investments in own infrastructure. In Q4 we have started to see cost savings effects in line with expectations as the transformation period is coming to an end. Going forward this development is expected to continue, as some of the costs related to the platform modernization are fixed and not volume driven.
Operating expenses consist mainly of salary and personnel expenses and other operating expenses. Salary and personnel expenses amounted to NOK 158.2 million in Q4 2021 (NOK 130.7 million), which is 60% of the quarterly revenue (57%). The increase in the total level of salary and personnel expenses is mainly due to high growth in number of employees over the last twelve months, in line with Pexip's growth strategy. The growth in salary and personnel expenses in Q4 is offset by a reversal of employer tax cost on stock options due to reduction in share price in Q4, in addition to increased capitalization of R&D projects and some accrual effects on commissions. In Q4 2021 the cost related to employee options and related employer tax costs was NOK 1.1 million compared to NOK 2.9 million in Q3 2021 and NOK 1.7 million in Q4 2020, due to the fluctuation in the Pexip share price. Pexip had 537 employees at the end of Q4 2021 (361 at the end of Q4 2020).
Other operating expenses amounted to NOK 79.4 million (NOK 32.3 million), which reflects a level at 30% of revenue (14%). The increase from the same period last year is mainly due to Pexip's growth strategy and increased activity. In Q4 there has also been several spikes in activity related to sales and marketing activities and events, implementation projects by external providers and cost related to Skedify and Kinly portfolio acquisitions. We expect that other operating expenses going forward will be in line with quarter average for 2021 adjusted for normal growth.
Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) amounted to positive NOK 9.9 million in Q4 2021 (positive NOK 49.5 million), reflecting a positive 4% EBITDA margin (positive 22% EBITDA margin). The development in the EBITDA margin is better than expected and we expect to continue our move towards profitability during 2022.
Depreciation and amortization were NOK 20.5 million in Q4 2021 (NOK 14.7 million). There are still some accounting details from the Skedify acquisition to be clarified around allocation between goodwill and technology assets. In line with purchase price allocation accounting standards there is potential for a limited and immaterial effect in increased depreciation in Q4 from this. This has no EBITDA or cash effect and we expect this to be finalized in the annual report.
Net financial income was NOK 0.2 million (net expense of NOK 65.5 million).
Profit before tax was negative NOK 10.4 million for Q4 2021 (negative NOK 30.7 million). Profit after tax was negative NOK 33.1 million (negative NOK 27.5 million).
Consolidated revenue was NOK 805.5 million for FY 2021 (NOK 678.5 million). The increase of 19% was driven by growth in revenue both from Pexip as-a-Service and self-hosted software. Europe, Middle-East and Africa (EMEA) was the largest sales theatre for FY 2021, accounting for NOK 439.1 million (NOK 378.6 million) representing 55% of group revenue in the period (56%), followed by Americas, accounting for NOK 299.9 million (NOK 234.5 million) representing 37% (35%), and Asia-Pacific (APAC), accounting for NOK 66.4 million (NOK 65.5 million) representing 8% (10%).
Cost of sale amounted to NOK 76.9 million for FY 2021 (NOK 42.6 million), reflecting a gross margin of 90% (94%). Cost of sale has mainly increased due to a shift towards cloud compute compared to investing in own or renting hardware, which also reduces operating expenses. This is driven by an increase in service robustness and to ensure a better long-term cost structure. Higher revenues and related hosting and network cost from products requiring cloud compute is also a driver for higher cost of sale. In Q4 we have started to see cost savings effects in line with expectations
as the transformation period is coming to an end. Going forward this development is expected to continue, as some of the costs related to the platform modernization are fixed and not volume driven.
Operating expenses consist mainly of salary and personnel expenses and other operating expenses. Salary and personnel expenses amounted to NOK 634.4 million for FY 2021 (NOK 400.5 million), which is 79% of revenue in the period (59%). The increase is mainly due to high growth in employees over the last twelve months, in line with Pexip's growth strategy.
Other operating expenses amounted to NOK 218.6 million (NOK 180.0 million) for FY 2021, which reflects 27% of revenue (27%). Other operating expenses in the period increased in line with overall activity growth in the business, as well as investments in marketing to raise the awareness of Pexip amongst potential customers.
Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) amounted to negative NOK 124.3 million for FY 2021 (positive NOK 55.6 million), reflecting a negative 15% EBITDA margin (positive 8%). The development in the EBITDA margin is better than expected in the guidance previously given between negative 25-35% for 2021 and 2022.
Depreciation and amortization costs were NOK 73.7 million for FY 2021 (NOK 47.3 million).
Net financial income was NOK 2.8 million (net expense of NOK 110.3 million).
Profit before tax was negative NOK 195.2 for FY 2021 (negative NOK 102.0 million). Profit after tax was negative NOK 157.3 million (negative NOK 89.0 million).
Pexip continues to have a robust balance sheet and is well capitalized to fund the planned growth investments. Total assets amounted to NOK 2,376 million (NOK 2,436 million at the end of Q4 2020), and total equity amounted to NOK 1,908 million (NOK 2,022 million at the end of Q4 2020).
Current assets amounted to NOK 1,067 (NOK 1,321 million at the end of Q4 2020). Trade and other receivables increased to NOK 218 million (NOK 193 million at the end of Q4 2020). Cash and cash equivalents decreased to NOK 804 million (NOK 1,101 million at the end of Q4 2020).
Non-current assets increased to NOK 1,309 million (NOK 1,114 million at the end of Q4 2020). Contract costs increased to NOK 263 million (NOK 211 million at the end of Q4 2020).
Total liabilities were at NOK 467 million (NOK 413 million at the end of Q4 2020). Of this, NOK 6 million are borrowings (NOK 9 million at the end of Q4 2020).
Current liabilities increased to NOK 374 million (NOK 327 million at the end of Q4 2020).
Non-current liabilities increased to NOK 94 million (NOK 87 million at the end of Q4 2020).
Cash flow from operating activities was negative NOK 43.6 million for Q4 2021 (positive NOK 35.6 million for Q4 2020). The negative cash flow reflects the investments the Company is making into strengthening its growth capacity. The change from Q4 2020 is mainly due to timing effects on receivables and payables.
Cash flow from investing activities was negative NOK 44.4 million in Q4 2021 (negative NOK 39.1 million in Q4 2020). The decrease in cash flow from investing activities is related to payment to software development.
Cash flow from financing activities was negative NOK 31.1 million for Q4 2021 (negative NOK 3.1 million for Q4 2020).
In total, Pexip had a negative cash flow of NOK 119.1 million in Q4 2021 (negative NOK 6.6 million in Q4 2020).
On February 7, 2022, Pexip announced the appointment of Trond K. Johannessen as CEO, following an extensive international search process. He will join Pexip in May 2022. Øystein Hem will continue to lead the Company until Mr. Johannessen assumes the role as CEO and will thereafter continue with Pexip as CFO.
Risk management in Pexip is based on the principle that risk evaluation is an integral part of all business activities, and is a part of the annual strategy review. In 2020, Pexip has especially developed its approach to risk assessment and risk mitigation within financial reporting in preparation for the listing, and within information security, where Pexip holds an ISO 27001 certification as an external recognition of its approach.
Pexip has not identified significant additional risk exposures beyond the ones described in the 2020 Annual Report.
Pexip is exposed to a number of risk factors related to: operational and market activities, customer relationships and third parties, laws, regulations and third parties, financial and market, among others. The Risk and Risk Management section in the 2020 Annual Report contains detailed description and mitigating actions.
Covid-19 has created disruption to the global economy, and continues to impact the usage of videoconferencing, usage of office meeting rooms and enterprise buying behavior.
Own operations have pivoted to an all-digital workflow, and most Pexip locations have been in various lockdown situations since the pandemic outbreak in 2020. Moreover, Pexip employees' expertise within videoconferencing and hybrid-working solutions has contributed to a smooth transition for the Pexip workforce to the required changes in ways of working that the pandemic has caused. The pandemic has required extraordinary efforts from the organization to support existing and new customers as demand and usage of videoconferencing spiked. This has enabled many of Pexip's customers to maintain business continuity and deliver vital services in industries such as healthcare, public services and pharmaceuticals.
In the long-term, Pexip believes that the market for enterprise-grade video communication will increase due to the explosive adoption and usage of video communication following Covid-19, and increased awareness of sustainability. Many
enterprises plan to adopt hybrid working models as they return to the office, combining office and remote working, that will provide benefits far beyond the need for social distancing, such as reducing travel and related emissions, enabling work flexibility and increasing productivity. Furthermore, Pexip believes in increased use of video in organizations' workflows with their clients/customers, creating additional new and significant market opportunities. In the short term, renewed Covid-19 restrictions will cause limited use of offices and delays in roll-out of new video rooms. In addition, Pexip's customers have experienced delays in video hardware deliveries due to chip shortages.
To accelerate growth Pexip has invested in increasing the Company's sales and marketing presence as well as R&D capabilities since the IPO. During 2022 Pexip expect ARR growth to again overtake growth in employees and cost. This will support returning to a postive EBITDA during 2023. In the mid-term, the Company expects above 25% EBITDA-rate in 2025 together with revenue growth above 25%. The key enabler for all these initiatives is the robust strengthening of the Pexip team during 2020 and 2021.
In an environment that is adapting to a more decentralized working environment with focus on sustainability, Pexip believes that it is uniquely positioned to address the new technology needs of customers, with our ability to provide a great meeting experience regardless of the device or platform in use. This is reflected in Pexip's longterm ambition to reach an ARR of USD 300 million by 2024.

On November 8, 2021, the Company acquired a 100% equity interest in Skedify NV for total consideration of NOK 29,44 million. The transaction resulted in the Company obtaining control of Skedify.
Pexip acquired Skedify to accelerate the delivery of video-enabled business-to-consumer applications.
The Company accounts for acquisitions of subsidiaries using the acquisition method of accounting, including those acquisitions under common control and having commercial substance. This requires recognition of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value as of the acquisition date. Pexip has engaged an independent valuer to determine the fair values of the assets and liabilities of Skedify as part of the purchase price allocation. Although IFRS 3 (section 45 "measurement period") allows undertaking the fair value measurement within one year from the date of acquisition, the Company engaged itself with an independent valuer to undertake the fair value assessment to include Goodwill purchase price allocation into the 2021 Annual Report.
The fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities and purchase price allocation are expected to be reported as part of the 2021 Annual Report.
Skedify net identifiable assets and liabilities at acquisition are as follows:
| 29.402 |
|---|
| 46.683 |
| -17.281 |
| 22.926 |
| 2.924 |
| 46,722 |
| 23,351 |
| 3,471 |
| 2,619 |
Purchase consideration in the form of cash included 15.64 million cash payments, NOK 5.07 million as debt cancellation to previous shareholders and NOK 2.64 million as a pre-acquisition bridge loan to Skedify. The provisional goodwill of NOK 46.72 million has been recognized for Q4 2021 reporting.
We expect goodwill to include synergies from the transaction, representing the value chain capture through Skedify technology integration, marketing, sales, future customer relationships, and intangibles such as the acquired workforce. Goodwill has been provisionally allocated to Pexip, which is expected to benefit from the synergies of the acquisition. Acquisition and transaction costs were expensed as general expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Income Statement. Skedify contributed revenues of NOK 1.82 million and a net loss of NOK 3.17 million to Pexip for the period from November 8, 2021, to December 31, 2021. If the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2021, management estimates that consolidated Proforma revenue and net loss for the year ended December 31 would have been NOK 9.59 million and 22.4 million, respectively.
The following terms are used by the Group in the definition of APMs in this Report:
EBITDA: Profit/(loss) for the period before net financial items, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization.
Adjusted EBITDA: EBITDA adjusted for IPO-related, non-recurring costs.
EBITDA-margin: EBITDA in percentage of revenue.
Share of recurring revenues: Recurring revenue from own products is defined as revenue from time-limited contracts where the purchase is recurring in nature. Revenue from time-limited software subscriptions and related mandatory maintenance contracts are considered recurring. Revenue from third-party software licenses, perpetual software-licenses and project-based professional services, such as a customer-specific proof-of-concept project or installation projects, are considered non-recurring.
Contracted Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR): Annualized sales from all active subscriptions/contracts and ordered subscriptions with a future start date where the subscription is time-limited and recurring in nature.
This is corresponding to Pexip's order backlog.
Delta Annual Recurring Revenue (DARR): The difference in ARR from one quarter to another
