CEO comments
Positive EBITDA and operating cash flow for the full year in a challenging external environment
We round off a challenging 2025 with a positive EBITDA for the full year and a stable foundation for the next growth phase. The year has been characterized by geopolitical uncertainty, negative currency impact and caution in customers' investment decisions. In addition to this, deferred production at a major customer had a significant impact on revenue in the fourth quarter. But these are not lost projects, rather production volumes that have been postponed until the first half of 2026.
There is stability in our core business, with a competitive and relevant offering, good cost control, and focused execution. Moreover, significant progress has been made both technically and commercially, even though the year did not turn out to be the growth year we planned for.
Under the prevailing geopolitical conditions, delivering a positive full-year EBITDA, even if with small margins, confirms both the competitiveness of our offering and the strength of our business model. Net sales and earnings are not yet at the levels we want them to be, but at the same time I can confirm that we have implemented important strategic and operational changes, and achieved an incredible amount during the year. We are well-equipped for 2026.
During the year, including the fourth quarter, we continued to win new projects and strengthen our position in several strategically important areas such as mobile phones, national ID programs, visitor management systems, and physical access. At the same time, uncertainty in the world at large affected the timing of business decisions. In the mobile segment, delays at our customers' customers – mobile phone manufacturers – meant that production, which traditionally takes place during the strong, important fourth quarter, was postponed until after the end of the year. This had a negative impact on royalty revenues during the quarter. It is, however, important to emphasize that these are not lost projects or customers, but production volumes that have been postponed until the first half of 2026.
In addition to uncertainty in the world at large, currency movements had a negative impact on the figures. The US dollar weakened sharply during the year, affecting both revenue and profitability.
The market
The market continues to be characterized by caution, influenced by geopolitics, threats of tariffs, and a weak investment climate in multiple sectors. At the same time, we see that the demand for secure, user-friendly, and AI-powered biometric solutions, as well as access and visitor management systems, continues to increase. Precise is in a strong position in premium segments such as ultrasound-based biometrics for mobile phones and anti-spoofing solutions for National ID, where competition is more rational and price pressure lower.
Business and offering
One important milestone during the quarter was the launch of our fifth generation of biometric matcher, BioMatch Vizo. With double-digit performance improvements from what was already a market-leading level, we are further distancing ourselves from our competitors. The new architecture enables higher security, better user experience and supports the new, smaller ultrasonic sensors in mobile phones in the midsegment, while enhancing the performance of our anti-spoof solutions. Vizo is an important growth engine going forward.
We are also seeing the continuation of a positive trend in national ID programs, where interest in anti-spoofing and liveness solutions is increasing in line with stricter security requirements globally. Collaborations with scanner vendors such as SecuGen, the collaboration with MOSIP, and solutions certified for Aadhaar create good conditions for future revenue.
Interest in biometrics in the field of physical access continues to increase – both as a primary authentication method and as a part of multi-factor solutions. During the quarter, we reached the concept phase for a new architecture that combines multi-factor authentication (MFA) and palm recognition with access logic and mobile identities. The solution has been presented to a selection of potential partners, with very positive feedback.
In the field of visitor management systems, the transition to cloud-based solutions continues. The proportion of cloud customers for Precise Visit increased by more than 50% during the year. Although migration to the cloud has had a shortterm impact on ARR through some churn, it strengthens long
{6}------------------------------------------------
term value creation through longer customer relationships, lower operating costs, higher customer satisfaction, and better scalability. Interest in both Precise Visit and Precise Access remains strong, and we see a clear trend towards contactless and identity-based access solutions.
At the same time, it is clear that certain markets, not least the automotive industry, are still faced with a challenging situation.
The future
Precise is well-positioned with a relevant product portfolio, long-term partnerships and a stable foundation for its business, which creates extremely good conditions for the years ahead. New generations of ultrasonic sensors are expected to reach the market and meet the demands of mid-end segment mobile phones, creating opportunities for significant growth in volume. This, combined with our other offerings, new markets, and our position in AI-based biometric software, creates a strong platform for continued expansion.
I look forward with great confidence and enthusiasm to 2026, a year in which we will continue to focus on growth and a positive cash flow.
I would like to conclude by extending my sincere thanks to our customers and partners for excellent collaboration during a challenging year – and to our incredibly competent employees for their enormous engagement and professionalism. Together we are making the world simpler and safer.
Joakim Nydemark CEO
My top three:
- Positive EBITDA for the full year despite challenging market conditions
- Strong position and a solid core business
- New customers and projects create good prospects for 2026

Update from the business areas
Biometric Technologies
Given the global security situation, the rapid development in AI and Precise's strong offering, there is a high level of interest in the company's biometric solutions. At the same time, the quarter was characterized by a cautious business climate among both new and existing customers.
The whole of 2025 was characterized by geopolitical uncertainty and restraint in the market, especially in the mobile phone sector that is important for the company, but also in other areas. This uncertainty resulted in several mobile projects being delayed during the year. In the fourth quarter, we also saw several hardware partners choose to postpone production from the traditionally strong fourth quarter to the first half of 2026. This has had a direct, negative impact on Precise's royalty revenues for the fourth quarter. The delays relate to many suppliers, but the single biggest impact comes from delays at one of our largest customers. According to the customer, these are not lost volumes, but production that has been postponed until the first half of 2026.
The market continues to be characterized by competition and some price pressure, while Precise's solutions, primarily in ultrasound-based biometrics and anti-spoofing, are well positioned with high levels of performance and security. Price pressure is lower in these premium segments. Another positive feature is the progress made in national ID programs, physical access, palm recognition and other areas – although revenues from these areas are expected primarily in 2026 and beyond.
We continue to see great market potential and relevance in Precise's offering for 2026 and beyond.
Some of the highlights of the quarter:
-
- National ID programs Interest remains high, progress is being made, business dialogs are ongoing, and contracts have been signed. One example is the discussions with MOSIP, which currently lacks anti-spoofing in its architecture, but sees a clear benefit in this. Precise is contributing its expertise and activities include participation as an exhibitor and speaker at MOSIP Connect in February 2026. Collaborations with scanner and sensor partners, such as SecuGen, are also progressing well.
-
- Fifth generation biometric matchers During the quarter, the company launched and delivered a new generation of biometric matcher, BioMatch Vizo, showing double-digit performance improvements from what was already a market-leading level. In addition to increased security and improved user experience, the new architecture supports smaller ultrasonic sensors for the volume-driving mid-range segment of mobile phones, while strengthening the performance of the Precise anti-spoof solution.
-
- Data collection and synthetic data generation Demand continues to increase as the need for high-quality data accelerates, driven by the development of AI and increased demands for robust biometric systems.
-
- Physical access and palm recognition The company has continued the development of the contactless palm recognition modality, and further strengthened its collaboration with hardware suppliers in this area. A new architecture has been developed that offers multi-factor authentication (MFA) via palm recognition combined with mobile identities. The product is in the concept phase and has been presented to a selection of partners, producing a very positive response. The platform is planned to become available in the first half of 2026.
Cornerstones for growth in Biometric Technologies
- Biometric authentication with ultrasonic sensors in mobile phones
- Anti-spoofing for National ID programs
- Palm recognition for physical access

{8}------------------------------------------------
Digital Identity
During the year, Precise signed a large number of new customer agreements with large industrial groups as well as municipalities and smaller companies. The company's Digital Identity offering is highly relevant, and through new partnerships and broader and clearer product packaging, the conditions have been strengthened for new recurring revenue streams and accelerating revenue per customer. At the same time, the pace of business continues to be affected by external environmental factors that are delaying customers' investment decisions.
The migration of Precise Visit customers to the company's cloud-based solution went amazingly well during the quarter and the whole year, which strengthens the business going forward, but has had a short-term negative impact on ARR due to some older on-premise customers terminating their agreements, and the fact that migrations do not initially add new revenue. This is a natural part of the transition, where older installations are being phased out in favor of a more scalable and profitable business model. New sales of cloudbased solutions performed well during the year, and the share of cloud customers for Precise Visit increased by 50% in 2025.
Even if a cloud customer does not initially generate higher revenue (ARR) than on-premise agreements, the long-term customer value is higher. The cloud business is characterized by lower operating costs, higher customer satisfaction, longer customer life cycles and better opportunities for upsell, which strengthens both margins and predictability over time.
For Precise Access, the bankruptcy of one major customer earlier in the year continued to have a negative impact on ARR. However, the company sees a growing interest in biometric physical access going forward, driven by increased security requirements, the need for better user experiences and a clear trend towards contactless and identity-based access management solutions. We are also seeing increased interest from both new and existing customers in high-security environments, such as laboratories, critical infrastructure, defense, and security-related operations, and environments with strict demands on the protection of individuals, information, and assets.
Some of the highlights of the quarter:
- New customer within Precise Access Age Back Co has implemented Precise Access for its gym facility in Stockholm, providing a clear example of how biometric access can be combined with a premium user experience.
- Partnership The collaboration with Avigilon (Motorola Solutions) has developed positively, and there is a joint plan for marketing and business activities for 2026.
- Rebranding completed The rebranding to Precise Visit by EastCoast and Precise Access respectively has now been implemented in full, creating increased clarity in the offering and a more uniform brand platform.
- Framework agreements During the period, several new framework agreements were signed for Precise Visit, creating good conditions for future roll-outs and recurring revenue.
- Product development Several new features and improvements have been launched in Precise Visit, including Event Visit, improved iPad configuration in enterprise environments, Scan & Check-in for multi-tenant customers, extended language support, improved guest network management, and a number of general performance and usability improvements. Improvements have also been made in functionality in Precise Access. In addition, integration support has been further strengthened through an extended integration with ARX to enable the use of a PIN to connect the solution to Precise Visit.
- New customers and migrations During the period, new agreements were signed or migration contracts were entered into with, among others, Age Back Co, Aqua d'Or Mineral Water, ASSA Abloy HQ Stockholm, Dustin, Everaxis, City of Gothenburg, City of Sundbyberg, UFAB (via Uanet), and Unaro Nordic, and other organizations.

{10}------------------------------------------------
Net sales and operating profit/loss
Net sales for the quarter
Net sales during the quarter totaled SEK 17.0 (21.8) million, divided between royalty revenues of SEK 6.2 (11.5) million, license fees (including support and maintenance) of SEK 9.7 (9.4) million and other revenue of SEK 1.2 (0.9) million. Royalty revenues during the quarter were affected by lower volumes from our customers, reflecting variations in the production of mobile devices. A weaker USD also contributed to lower revenue during the period.
Biometric Technologies
Net sales for Biometric Technologies totaled SEK 11.2 (16.2) million, divided between royalty revenues of SEK 6.2 (11.5) million, licenses fees of SEK 5.0 (4.6) million, and other revenue of SEK 0.1 (0.1) million. Royalty revenues were lower during the quarter, due to lower customer volumes and a weaker USD. As the biometric algorithm business is affected by customers' production levels, which may vary between quarters, the trend should be assessed over time rather than on the basis of individual quarters. The gross margin during the quarter totaled 79.0% (83.1). The change in the gross margin is explained by lower net sales during the quarter.
Digital Identity
Net sales for Digital Identity totaled SEK 5.8 (5.6) million and are reported under licenses at SEK 4.7 (4.8) million, and other revenue at SEK 1.1 (0.8) million.
The proportion of annual recurring revenue (ARR) was SEK 18.9 (19.0) million at the end of the quarter. One consequence of the company's strategy to increase the proportion of recurring revenue (ARR) and gradually replace older products is that there has been some churn.
A customer agreement concluded in the second quarter, corresponding to approximately SEK 0.8 million in ARR, is still affecting the comparison. The ARR level is otherwise stable, with positive new sales.
The gross margin during the quarter totaled 51.1% (41.2). The improved gross margin is due to reduced amortization, which in turn is an effect of lower capitalization of development expenses in previous periods.
Earnings for the quarter
The gross margin during the quarter totaled 69.5% (72.4). The increase is mainly due to reduced amortization. Amortization of capitalized development expenses totaled SEK 3.3 (3.9) million. Amortization of acquired intangible assets totaled SEK 0.6 (0.6) million.
Operating expenses during the quarter totaled SEK 18.5 million (17.8). The increase in operating expenses is mainly due to exchange rate effects related to the remeasurement of operating monetary balance sheet items. Excluding this impact, expenses decreased by approximately SEK 0.8 million compared with the previous year.
The profit/loss at EBITDA level totaled SEK -1.9 (3.4) million, which is primarily due to lower net sales and negative exchange rate effects on revenue.
The operating profit/loss (EBIT) for the quarter totaled SEK -6.7 (-2.1) million. Earnings for the quarter totaled SEK -6.4 (-1.3) million. Total depreciation and amortization amounted to SEK 4.7 (5.5) million.
Earnings per share (average number of shares) for the quarter totaled SEK –0.08 (–0.02).


{11}------------------------------------------------
Net sales for the full-year period
Net sales during the full-year period totaled SEK 77.8 (86.9) million, divided between royalty revenues at SEK 33.0 (41.1) million, license fees (including support and maintenance) at SEK 39.1 (40.6) million and other revenue at SEK 5.7 (5.2) million. Royalty revenues decreased mainly as a consequence of one of the largest customers in the mobile market choosing to move planned Q4 volumes to 2026, due to market uncertainty in 2025. Variations in the production of mobile devices during the year are not unusual, but this shift was unusually large. A weaker USD also had a negative impact on revenue. License fees were down primarily due to changes in customer mix and the reduced support needs of some customers.
Biometric Technologies
Net sales for Biometric Technologies totaled SEK 56.4 (65.4) million and are reported under royalties at SEK 33.0 (41.1) million, licenses at SEK 20.6 (22.0) million, and other revenue at SEK 2.8 (2.4) million. Royalty revenues were lower than the previous year, mainly as a consequence of one of the largest customers moving planned Q4 production to Q1 2026. A weaker USD also had a negative impact. License fees were down year-on-year mainly as a consequence of changes in the composition of customers and renegotiated license agreements linked to the reduced support needs of some customers. The gross margin during the full-year period totaled 82.4% (83.7).
Digital Identity
Net sales for Digital Identity totaled SEK 21.4 (21.4) million and are reported under licenses at SEK 18.5 (18.6) million, and other revenue at SEK 2.9 (2.8) million. The ARR at the end of the fullyear period was SEK 18.9 (19.0) million. One consequence of the company's strategy to increase the proportion of annual recurring revenue (ARR) and gradually migrate older products is that some churn also occurred during the full-year period. The impact of a customer agreement that was terminated during the first half of the year is still affecting comparison. The ARR level is largely unchanged compared with the previous year, while new sales developed positively and the share of cloud customers increased significantly during the year. The gross margin during the full-year period totaled 47.7% (38.7).
Earnings for the full-year period
The gross margin during the full-year period totaled 72.8% (72.6). The improved gross margin is due to reduced amortization, which in turn is an effect of lower capitalization of development expenses in previous periods. Total amortization of capitalized development expenses was SEK 14.2 (16.5) million. Amortization of acquired intangible assets totaled SEK 2.4 (2.4) million.
Operating expenses for the full-year period increased to SEK 76.7 million (72.5), and excluding currency effects expenses were at the same level as in the previous year.
The profit/loss at EBITDA level fell to SEK 0.2 (13.4) million. The decrease is explained by lower net sales due to variations in customers' production cycles and a weaker USD, as well as higher operating expenses attributable to exchange rate effects related to the remeasurement of operating monetary items. The operating profit/loss for the full-year period totaled SEK – 20.1 (–9.4) million. Earnings for the full-year period totaled SEK -19.9 (-8.4) million. Total depreciation and amortization amounted to SEK 20.2 (22.8) million. Earnings per share (average number of shares) for the full-year period totaled SEK -0.25 (-0.11).
Net financial items and tax
Net financial items for the quarter totaled SEK 0.3 (0.7) million and the tax expense totaled SEK 0.1 (0.1) million. Net financial items for the full-year period totaled SEK -0.2 (0.6) million and the tax expense totaled SEK 0.3 (0.4) million.
Net financial items are attributable to exchange rate differences in cash and cash equivalents, interest income, interest on lease liability in accordance with IFRS 16, as well as interest expense on the deferred fixed purchase price related to the acquisition of EastCoast.
Cash flow and investments
The cash flow from operating activities during the quarter totaled SEK -3.2 (5.8) million, of which SEK -1.5 (1.5) million is attributable to changes in working capital. Cash flow during the quarter was negatively impacted by a major customer payment of approximately SEK 4.5 million relating to December, which was instead received in early January. The Group invested SEK 0.2 (0.1) million in property, plant and equipment during the quarter. Total cash flow for the quarter was SEK -12.8 (-4.1) million. During the quarter, a repayment of SEK 6.0 million (6.2), including interest, was made on the loan relating to the acquisition of EastCoast.
Cash flow for the full-year period from operating activities totaled SEK 1.9 (10.1) million, primarily attributable to a positive change in working capital of SEK 2.1 (-4.1) million. The Group invested SEK 1.3 (0.4) million during the full-year period in property, plant and equipment. Total cash flow for the full-year period was SEK –18.9 (–10.0) million.
{12}------------------------------------------------
Capitalization and amortization of development work
Development expenses of SEK 2.9 (2.9) million were capitalized during the quarter, and amortization of capitalized development expenses in respect of Digital Identity and Biometric Technologies totaled SEK 3.3 (3.9) million. Development expenses of SEK 11.7 (11.0) million were capitalized during the full-year period, and amortization of capitalized development expenses totaled SEK 14.2 (16.5) million.
Right of use assets
No new rental agreements were added during the quarter, but the full-year period saw an extension of rental agreements in Lund and indexation of rent in Lund and Stockholm, which resulted in an increase in lease liabilities of SEK 3.6 (7.6) million. Right of use assets totaled SEK 10.3 (9.1) million at the end of the period.
Financial position and liquidity
Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period totaled SEK 18.4 (37.7) million. Total equity at the end of the period was SEK 131.0 (151.2) million, and equity per share was SEK 1.67 (1.93).

The parent company
The parent company's net sales for the quarter totaled SEK 12.7 (17.8) million and the operating profit/loss for the quarter totaled SEK -6.5 (-2.6) million and was charged with amortization of goodwill totaling SEK 0.6 (0.6) million. Net sales for the full-year period totaled SEK 60.8 million (70.0). The operating profit/loss totaled SEK –20.3 (–11.2) million and was affected by amortization of goodwill totaling SEK 2.4 (2.5) million. Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the full-year period totaled SEK 9.7 (25.5) million, and equity SEK 118.8 (139.0) million.

Note 4 – Financial instruments
The fair value in respect of financial assets and liabilities corresponds in all material respects with the carrying amount in the balance sheet.
Interest-bearing liabilities
On November 30, 2022, a supplementary agreement was signed that changed the terms and conditions for the remaining liability of SEK 55,000 thousand for the acquisition of EastCoast Solutions AB (see Note 6). SEK 30,000 thousand was paid on December 1, 2022, SEK 10,000 thousand on November 30, 2023, SEK 5,000 thousand on November 30, 2024, and SEK 5,000 thousand on November 30, 2025. SEK 5,000 thousand will be paid on November 30, 2026. Interest will be added to the amount of SEK 5,000 thousand that falls due on November 30, 2026. Interest for the period December 1, 2023 to November 30, 2024 was paid on November 30, 2024 and interest for the period December 1, 2024 to November 30, 2025 was paid on November 30, 2025. The interest, of 3 months STIBOR + 8%, will be added from November 30, 2023 until the amounts have been paid. The liability is recognized as an interest-bearing liability as of December 31, 2025.
The liability has been calculated at current value at the original effective interest rate of 1.8% and is recognized as other current liability (SEK 5,403 thousand).
Note 5 – LTI program
The Annual General Meeting 2022 resolved, in accordance with the Board's proposal, to establish a long-term share bonus program (LTI 2022/2028) for all employees at Precise Biometrics. In order to facilitate the implementation of LTI 2022/2028 and to ensure the delivery of shares to the participants, and to cover the company's costs for social security contributions, the meeting also decided to amend the Articles of Association in the form of the introduction of new Class C shares, authorization for the Board of Directors to issue Class C shares, authorization for the Board of Directors to buy back Class C shares, and approval of the transfer of shares to participants in LTI 2022/2028. The implementation of Class C shares took place in Q4 2022. As of June 30, 2025, Precise Biometrics held 1,085,000 Class C shares.
The Annual General Meeting 2025 resolved, in accordance with the Board's proposal, to establish a new long-term incentive plan (LTIP 2025/2028) for senior executives and other current and future employees within the Group by issuing a maximum of 1,200,000 stock options, which means that the company's share capital may increase by a maximum of SEK 360,000. All stock options have been issued free of charge to the wholly-owned subsidiary, Precise Biometrics Services AB, for onward transfer at market value to current employees who have been offered the opportunity to participate and to future employees within the Group.
As of June 30, 2025, approximately 450,000 stock options had been transferred to participants. The stock options have a term of three years and can be exercised for the subscription of shares during the period from August 1, 2028 to September 30, 2028. The conditions for continued holding and the right to exercise the options are regulated in separate transfer agreements, and may be affected by, for example, the termination of employment. Each stock option entitles the holder to subscribe to one new share in the company at a redemption price of SEK 5.63 per share. As the options have been acquired at market value, there is no accounting cost for the company in accordance with IFRS 2.
Note 6 – Business combinations
As of November 30, 2021, the Group acquired 100% of the shares in EastCoast Solutions AB and Besökssystem Sverige AB.
The purchase price totaled SEK 86,203 thousand, of which SEK 24,466 thousand was paid as of December 31, 2021, partly via a cash payment of SEK 18,000 thousand and partly via the issuing of new shares totaling SEK 6,466 thousand. An additional SEK 8,268 thousand was paid in cash in January 2022.
On November 30, 2022, a supplementary agreement was signed that changed the terms and conditions for the remaining liability of SEK 55,000 thousand for the acquisition. See Note 4 for details of the new terms and conditions.
During the full-year period 2025, the Group's cash and cash equivalents were affected by SEK 6,022 thousand in respect of partial payment of liability plus interest.

Financial glossary
Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR)
ARR is defined as repeat revenue at the end of the quarter for Digital Identity, converted to a 12-month period. Consequently, there is no direct link between the ARR figure and future software revenue for Digital Identity. The ARR metric is used for contractual recurring revenues for the Digital Identity segment, as Digital Identity has a large customer base based on SaaS revenues. There are a small number of large customers in Biometric Technologies, and therefore license fees are not followed up using the definition of ARR in this segment.

Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA)

This measure makes it possible to make comparisons with other companies, regardless of whether the operation is based on acquisitions or through organic growth.
Equity
Equity at the end of the period. Equity is the difference between the Group's assets and liabilities, which corresponds to the Group's equity that has been contributed by shareholders and the Group's accumulated profit.
Equity per share
Equity on the balance sheet date divided by the number of shares on the balance sheet date. A measure of the value of equity per share, which is used when valuing the share in relation to the share price.
Average equity
The average equity was calculated as equity for the last four quarters divided by four.

Earnings per share before dilution
Profit/loss for the period divided by average number of shares.
Return on equity
Profit/loss after tax divided by average equity. This key indicator shows the business's return on shareholders' capital invested and is thus a measure of how profitable the Group is. Investors can compare this measure with the current bank interest rate or return from alternative investments. The measure can also be used to compare profitability between companies in the same industry.
Working capital
Current assets less current liabilities. This measure shows the capital a company needs to finance operating activities.
Operating expenses
Operating expenses excluding cost of goods sold. Operating expenses are expenses that do not belong directly to a particular product or product group. Common operating expenses include, for example, wages and other personnel expenses, as well as rental of premises.
Operating margin
