CEO COMMENTS
It has been a strong first quarter for Precise. Within Digital Identity, we have continued to complete installations, which further drives revenues from our SaaS model. We have also signed a number of new agreements for both YOUNiQ and EastCoast products, contributing to future recurring revenues. The Algo business performed well in a quarter that was still impacted by component shortages as well as slightly reduced global sales of mobile phones. Through new phone projects with existing commercial partners, we counteracted the negative effects and saw strong growth in Algo during the quarter. In total Precise grew revenues by 39% to SEK 28.3 (20.3) million, with EBITDA of SEK 4.0 (0.0) million.
Within Digital Identity, we have continued to install new projects and paved the way for the future. We carried out installations for Sodexo's head office in Stockholm and for Algeco in Skellefteå and Kiruna, with the latter also including our product for control of electricity and heating, and it is expected to become operational during the second quarter. We have also entered into agreements for future installations for two of Algeco's offices in Sweden. We also continued to expand our network of dealers and installers, with Certego and Granitor Electro as new partners. EastCoast's sales also developed positively with new customers during the quarter, after a slightly cautious start due to the Covid restrictions that characterized the first part of the quarter. All in all, revenues within Digital Identity totaled SEK 6.0 (0.5) million during the first quarter, which illustrates the strong growth in our SaaS business. All new agreements and installations will make a positive contribution to our recurring revenues within Digital Identity.
In March, we demonstrated the first integrated product of YOUNiQ's and EastCoast's respective solutions. The integration enables for visitors to check in and register with EastCoast's visitor management system using their face and QR code. We are now conducting dialogs with a number of customers, which we expect to be converted into agreements during the second quarter of 2022. During the quarter, we also embarked on more focused work on the Norwegian market, where we are already seeing an increasing level of interest among potential customers and partners.
Within Algo, the component shortage had worsened since the corresponding period last year. Furthermore, the mobile market experienced a slight downturn during the quarter, partly as a result of Covid restrictions in Asia and general macroeconomic uncertainty. Despite these challenges, Algo grew revenues by 12.3% to SEK 22.3 (19.8) million. The component shortage impact on our royalty revenues was largely compensated for by new phone projects with Qualcomm and Egis, and royalty revenues ended up just below the level for the corresponding period last year. Our broadening of the product segment to the automotive industry continued to have a positive effect on license fees within Algo – a result of our two customers in the automotive industry, announced at the end of 2021. Our work with them are proceeding according to plan and we expect these projects to start being rolled out in the first cars by the fall 2022. We are also continuing to work on developing the partnership with Infineon to deliver Precise BioMatch to projects in the automotive industry.
We have begun 2022 in a strong manner in both our product segments. We continue to grow with stable, recurring revenues in Digital Identity. We are also continuing our expansion within Algo, with a continued focus on new projects with established partners in the mobile segment. Algo has shown growth despite a negative impact from component shortages and macroeconomic factors, which paves the way for accelerated growth when market conditions improve. We continue to work in accordance with our strategic agenda, in which we focus on working with strategic partners, focused targeting of new geographies and broadening into new verticals. At the same time, we remain open to new acquisitions. To better reflect and follow up on our business, we have introduced segment reporting, in which Algo and Digital Identity have been our two product segments since January 2022.
Precise is well equipped for continued growth and it is with pleasure that I will be handing over the baton to Patrick Höijer as the new CEO of Precise at the beginning of June. I look forward to working with him and my colleagues in the management team to continue driving Precise towards an exciting future in which You are the key!
Fredrik Sjöholm, Interim CEO and VP Sales

MARKET AND SALES
Precise is a global supplier of identification software, access solutions and visitor management and offers products for the convenient, secure authentication of people's identity. The company offers the following products in two product segments: Digital Identity and Algo.
| Digital Identity | Algo | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Precise YOUNiQ – Secures digital identity in a simple, secure way |
Precise BioMatch | ||
| Mobile - Verifies fingerprints in mobile devices | |||
| EastCoast Solutions – Safe and efficient visitor | Card - Verifies fingerprints in smart cards | ||
| management systems | Car – Verifies fingerprints in cars |
MARKET DEVELOPMENT
Segment – Digital Identity
We increasingly use digital services that require user identification. As the registration process is often complicated and the security of passwords, PINs and similar traditional solutions has limitations, the demand for more convenient and secure ways to ensure convenient access and visitor management solutions is increasing. The increasingly connected world we live in also means that we not only use our digital identity in several different channels, but also on a variety of devices, which further increases the need for a digitalized offering for temporary and permanent visitors.
One area of application with solid market potential is biometric access to buildings and premises, where growth is being driven by trends such as security, sustainability, technological development and regulation. Precise has identified a number of segments where there is high demand for secure, convenient access solutions. These include apartment buildings, commercial properties, construction sites, gyms, industrial sites and public sector activities. The market for this solution is currently in its infancy, but the potential is expected to increase as awareness of the technology increases.
Segment – Algo
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 continue to increase. As the average price of these sensors is higher than for capacitive sensors, they will account for a significant share of the market value for fingerprint sensors. Many of Precise's customers are in this segment. Biometrics for identity verification has become an increasingly important tool in the battle against fraud in virtually all payment channels. Payments have become the main driving force for the development of biometrics at consumer level. Card manufacturers are focusing increasingly on the certification and cost-optimization of contactless biometric payment cards, which is a precondition for card issuers to be able to achieve a broad launch on the market.
At the end of 2021, Precise entered into two licensing agreements to provide fingerprint technology to the automotive industry. There has long been talk of integrating biometrics in vehicles, and although there are some solutions on the market today, it is only recently that higher product volumes have started to emerge. The market is still young, but is characterized by higher unit prices and long product life cycles of around 7–10 years.

NET SALES AND OPERATING PROFIT/LOSS IN THE QUARTER
Net sales for the quarter increased to SEK 28.3 (20.3) million. Net sales were split between royalty revenues of SEK 10.2 (10.9) million, license fees (including support and maintenance) of SEK 15.5 (8.8) million and Other of SEK 2.6 (0.7) million. Royalty revenues have only decreased marginally, which is positive in view of the fact that our customers continue to suffer from component shortages, resulting in lower production volumes. The increase in license fees compared with Q1 2021 is primarily due to the acquisition of EastCoast, which was completed on November 30, 2021, but also due to our two new customers in the automotive industry, as well as an increase in customers in the mobile industry.
The gross margin during the quarter totaled 76.7% (77.4). The decline is due primarily to the fact that the margin for hardware sales relating to Digital Identity installations is not as good as the margin for software. Amortization of capitalized development expenses increased to SEK 3.3 (3.0) million, relating primarily to Digital Identity, which includes EastCoast. Amortization of acquired intangible assets totaled SEK 0.3 (0.2) million.

Operating expenses for the quarter increased to SEK 22.5 (19.5) million, primarily due to the addition of expenses for EastCoast.
The operating profit/loss for the quarter totaled SEK –0.8 (–3.8) million. The slightly higher operating loss is explained by the higher net sales, but is lowered slightly due to the higher operating expenses. Earnings for the quarter totaled SEK –1.2 (–3.5) million. Total depreciation/amortization totaled SEK 4.8 (3.8) million. The profit/loss at EBITDA level totaled SEK 4.0 (0.0) million. Earnings per share (average number of shares) for the quarter totaled SEK 0.00 (–0.01).
Segment – Digital Identity
Net sales for Digital Identity totaled SEK 6.0 (0.5) million and are reported under licenses at SEK 4.3 (0.1) million and Other at SEK 1.7 (0.4) million. The increase in revenues in Digital Identity is partly due to EastCoast, which contributed sales of SEK 4.0 million during the quarter, as well as sales of hardware related to Digital Identity installations. We continuously work with strengthening our SaaS model and we have ARR (annual recurring revenue) of the order of SEK 13 million. The gross margin during the quarter totaled 32.4%. The gross margin in Digital Identity is poorer than in the Algo segment, as a large proportion of sales consist of hardware.

Segment – Algo
Net sales for Algo totaled SEK 22.3 (19.8) million and are reported under royalties at SEK 10.2 (10.9) million, licenses at SEK 11.2 (8.6) million and Other at SEK 0.9 (0.3) million. Royalty revenues have only decreased marginally. The increase in license fees compared with Q1 2021 is due to two new customers in the automotive industry and an increase in customers in the mobile industry. The gross margin during the quarter totaled 88.7%.

NET FINANCIAL ITEMS AND TAX
Precise has no interest-bearing liabilities apart from lease liabilities and the discounted deferred fixed purchase price relating to the acquisition of EastCoast. Net financial items are attributable to exchange rate differences in cash and cash equivalents, and also interest on the lease liability in accordance with IFRS 16, as well as interest expense on the deferred fixed purchase price related to the acquisition of EastCoast. Net financial items for the quarter totaled SEK –0.4 (0.4) million and the tax expense totaled SEK –0.1 (0.0) million.
CASH FLOW AND INVESTMENTS
The cash flow for the quarter from current operations totaled SEK 7.1 (–0.7) million, of which SEK 3.4 (–1.0) million is attributable to changes in working capital. The Group invested SEK 0.1 (0.3) million in property, plant and equipment during the quarter. Total cash flow for the period was SEK –6.3 (–5.9) million.
CAPITALIZATION AND AMORTIZATION OF DEVELOPMENT WORK
Development expenses of SEK 4.8 (4.6) million were capitalized during the quarter, and amortization of capitalized development expenses in respect of Digital Identity and Algo totaled SEK 3.3 (3.0) million.
FINANCIAL POSITION AND LIQUIDITY
Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period totaled SEK 57.8 (70.4) million.
Total equity at the end of the period totaled SEK 126.8 (110.7) million, and equity per share was SEK 0.32 (0.31).



THE PARENT COMPANY
The parent company's net sales for the interim period totaled SEK 23.8 (20.1) million. The operating profit/loss totaled SEK –1.6 (–4.5) million and was affected by amortization of goodwill totaling SEK 0.6 (0.6) million.
Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the interim period totaled SEK 43.8 (67.6) million, and equity SEK 114.9 (99.5) million.
ORGANIZATION AND STAFF
The organization consists of the head office in Lund, Sweden, and offices in Stockholm, Sweden, Potsdam, USA, and Shanghai, China. At the end of the interim period, the Group had a workforce of 57 (48) people, including on-site consultants and employees of EastCoast. The number of employees was 30 (23), of which 22 (16) were located in Sweden. Precise works in an agile way together with several partners, creating a fast-moving, scalable organization. The employee number does not include partners.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
The Annual General Meeting will be held on May 19, 2022 in Lund. Information concerning the Annual General Meeting can be found on the website www.precisebiometrics.com
The board proposes that no dividends be distributed for the fiscal year 2021.
RISK FACTORS
The Group and parent company's business risks and risk management as well as the management of financial risks are described in detail in the Annual Report for 2021, which was issued in March 2022. There have been no incidents of significant importance since then that would affect or change these descriptions of the Group or parent company's risks and how they are managed. The component shortage identified in the mobile industry may have a continued impact on net sales, as the royalty revenues in Algo are based on customers' sales volumes. Regarding the war in Ukraine, the company has no customers or suppliers in Ukraine or Russia, but may feel the effects of the prevailing economic situation and increased costs that affect both Precise and the company's customers and suppliers. The mobile market experienced a cautious downturn during the quarter, partly as a result of Covid restrictions in Asia and general macroeconomic uncertainty.

NOTE 3 – SEGMENT REPORTING
Precise Biometrics' operations are divided into two segments as of 2022: Digital Identity and Algo. The segments have arisen as a result of the acquisition of EastCoast at the end of 2021, as the importance of separate follow-up on the segments has increased. As segment reporting is new from 2022, there are no comparative figures from previous years.

FINANCIAL GLOSSARY
NET SALES GROWTH
Percentage change compared with the corresponding period in the previous year. A measure of whether a company's net sales are increasing.
GROSS MARGIN
Gross profit/loss divided by net sales. Indicates the proportion of sales that is left over to cover wages, other operating expenses, interest and profit.
OPERATING PROFIT/LOSS
Profit/loss before financial net and tax. A measure of a company's profit before interest and taxes, i.e., the difference between operating income and operating expenses.
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.
EBITDA
Profit/loss before financial items and depreciation. This key figure shows the group's profit/loss before depreciation/amortization of capitalized assets. This measure makes it possible to make comparisons with other companies, regardless of whether the operation is based on acquisitions or through organic growth.
OPERATING MARGIN
Operating profit/loss divided by net sales. Defines what proportion of each Swedish krona of sales is left over to cover interest, taxes and any possible profit.
CASH FLOW
Cash flow from operating activities after changes in working capital. The operating cash flow indicates whether a company can generate a sufficiently positive cash flow to maintain and expand its operation, or whether it needs external financing.
WORKING CAPITAL
Current assets less current liabilities. This measure shows the capital a company needs to finance operating activities.
CAPITAL EMPLOYED
Total assets less non-interest-bearing liabilities and provisions. This measure shows how much capital is used in operations and is thus one component of measuring the return from operations.
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 for the year.
AVERAGE EQUITY
The average equity was calculated as equity for the last four quarters divided by four.

LIQUIDITY RATIO
Current assets excluding inventories divided by current liabilities. This key indicator shows the group's ability to pay in the short term.
EQUITY/ASSETS RATIO
Equity divided by assets on the balance sheet date. This key indicator shows what proportion of assets is funded by equity. This measure can be of interest when assessing the group's ability to pay in the long term.
RETURN ON EQUITY
Profit/loss after tax divided by average equity. This key figure shows the operation'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.
EARNINGS PER SHARE BEFORE DILUTION
Profit/loss for the period divided by average number of shares.
EARNINGS PER SHARE AFTER DILUTION
Profit/loss for the period divided by weighted average number of shares.
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.
