CEO COMMENTS

The spread of Covid-19 has affected people and companies all over the world, and Precise's operational work has been put to the test during the quarter. It has been challenging, but at the same time very instructive, and altogether Precise has managed to successfully fend off the pandemic so far. The most important event so far in 2020 occurred after the end of the quarter, when we extended the agreement with sensor manufacturer Egis Technology regarding our identification software for mobile devices. This means that we now have approximately MSEK 60 in revenue for 2020 secured from a large and important partner with most of the major OEM manufacturers in their customer portfolio. The revenues from Egis are divided into license revenues, royalties and support and maintenance fees, which is important for a broad spread of current revenues.

Net sales for the first quarter amounted to SEK 23.1 million, an increase of 90 percent compared with the same period in the previous year. More pleasing news is that results have improved considerably, with a positive EBIT result of SEK 0.1 million, an increase of SEK 8 million compared with the corresponding period in the previous year. We are completely debt-free with cash and cash equivalents of SEK 78.4 million, which is a strength, not least in times like these. Through continued investments in all business areas, we are broaden our offering in order to be able to reduce our dependency on revenue from the mobile side (which remains volatile) in the future and therefore able to stand even more stable. We continue to take important steps on our journey towards growth and becoming a profitable company that creates value for our customers, end users and shareholders.

In the Digital Identity business area, we have accelerated our commercial activities, mainly regarding access applications. We have started a number of exciting pilot projects with players such as Friskis & Svettis in Lund, and we have also received our first commercial order from Exeger, a very innovative technology company. By installing our identification software, their employees and visitors can now gain access to the company's premises in a much simpler and more secure way than before. We have also initiated proof-of-concepts with some hospitals, where we installed our product for access in different medicine cabinets for easier and more secure handling and control of medicines and medicinal products. It is a very exciting project where we can be involved in digitizing and streamlining healthcare, which also shows the wide range of application areas our access product has.

Something we really take with us from the current pandemic in relation to our business is the importance of contactlessness, whether it is payments, access or other applications, where biometrics can best be used as a way of verifying the user's identity. We see that demand is increasing and we are working closely with our partners to remain at the forefront of innovation, user-friendliness and security in order to continue to gain ground in our business areas.

I am happy and proud of how we have performed both financially and operationally so far, where each employee has done their utmost to maintain and strengthen our leading position.

Stefan K Persson, CEO

MARKET AND SALES

Precise develops and sells biometrics solutions for convenient and secure verification of people's digital identity in mobile phones, smart cards and digital platforms. The company offers the following products in each area:

Digital identity

Precise YOUNiQ - Secures digital identity in a simple, secure way

Mobile

Precise BioMatch Mobile - Verifies fingerprints in mobile phones and tablets

Smart cards

Precise BioMatch Card - Verifies fingerprints in smart cards

In addition to the areas listed above, Precise is working on selected projects within various applications.

MARKET DEVELOPMENT

Digital Identity

We increasingly use digital services that require identification of the user. Since the registration process is often complicated and users choose passwords that are too simple, there is growing demand for easier and safer ways of verifying our digital identity. Our increasingly more interconnected world also means that we not only use our digital identity in multiple channels, but also on a number of different devices, which amplifies the need for secure and effective identification.

By combining different biometric technologies to verify our digital identity, we can create the optimum balance between convenience and security. This combined technology can be applied in several different application areas, such as access to facilities, document verification and digital services, within such sectors as finance, games, healthcare and transport. According to an analysis from Goode Intelligence, by the year 2024 we can expect over two billion verifications of digital identity and documents, on an annual basis.

Mobile

Continued demand for user-friendly telephones and tablets with full screens is driving the trend for mobile devices. The next development step is sensors that cover the full screen and can read a fingerprint wherever it is placed on the display. According to an analysis from IHS Market, optical and ultrasonic sensors for phones in the higher price segment will increase. As the average price of these sensors is much higher than for capacitive sensors, they will account for a significant share of the market value for fingerprint sensors. In overall terms, the value of the market for capacitive sensors is falling, as prices are dropping faster than volumes are rising.

Smart Card

Biometrics for identity verification has become an increasingly important tool in the battle against fraud in virtually all payment channels. Payments have become the primary driver of the development of biometrics in the consumer link, and analysts expect biometric cards to be a rapidly growing area in the coming years. Card manufacturers are focusing increasingly on the certification of contactless biometric payment cards, which is a precondition for card issuers to be able to achieve a broad-based market introduction. Sales of contactless biometric payment cards are expected to commence in 2020. In the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, Precise forsee that the transition to biometric contactless payment cards may be accelerated as a result of higher demand for secure identification solutions that do not require physical contact.

NET SALES AND OPERATING PROFIT/LOSS IN THE FIRST QUARTER

Net sales in the quarter increased by 89,9% and totalled 23.1 SEK (12.1) million. Net sales split between royalty revenues SEK 13.0 (2.1) million, license fees SEK 7.0 (6.5) million, support & maintenance SEK 1.5 (2.6) million and Other SEK 1.6 (1.0) million.

Operating expenses for the quarter increased by SEK 3.6 million and totalled SEK 20.1 (16.5) million. The increased costs in R&D was related to increased investments in Digital Identity and Mobile. The higher turnover has led to increased cost for commission and foreign withholding tax. Other income includes positive impact from currency.

The operating profit/loss for the quarter totalled SEK 0.1 (-7.9) million. Improvements of the result is primarily explained by a higher gross profit, SEK 11.6 million, partly offset by higher operating expenses of SEK 3.6 million.

NOTE 4 – OPTION PROGRAMS

At the annual general meeting in 2017, a decision was made to offer an incentive program for the company's employees to the effect that a maximum of five million (5,000,000) stock options could be issued, with each stock option providing entitlement to subscribe to one (1) share in the company. Subscription to the stock options was to take place no later than December 31, 2017. Subscription through the exercising of stock options may take place during the period June 1, 2020 until June 30, 2020. The subscription price for the options was set at SEK 0.06 and the subscription price for the shares at SEK 5.40. At the end of the first half of 2019, 1,230,000 options had been subscribed, corresponding to 25% of the total stock option; this was after options subscribed by employees, including former CEO, had been bought back. Assuming that all stock options are exercised to subscribe to new shares, the number of shares in the company will increase by 1,230,000 shares.

At the annual general meeting 2019, a decision was made to offer an incentive program for the company's CEO and CFO by way of issuing a maximum of 1,300,000 stock options, with each stock option providing entitlement to subscribe to one (1) share in the company. Subscription to the stock options was to take place no later than June 31, 2019, with the board having the right to extend the subscription period. Subscription through the exercising of the subscription warrants may take place during June 1, 2022 until June 30, 2022. The subscription price for the options is set at SEK 0.32 and the subscription price for the shares at SEK 1.65. At the end of the first half of 2019, 1,300,000 options had been subscribed, corresponding to 100% of the total stock option. Assuming that all stock options are exercised to subscribe to new shares, the number of shares in the company will increase by 1,300,000 shares.

Dilution is considered in cases where earnings per share deteriorate. Dilution has not been considered as the average share price during the interim period was below the price of the incentive programs.
