CEO COMMENTS
As we sum up the first half of 2023, I would like to start by emphasizing that Precise Biometrics is now stronger than it has been for a long time, thanks to hard work in all parts of the company and continued support from shareholders through the preferential share issue that we completed in June. We have improved our cash flow, reduced our costs and streamlined work throughout the company. It is also positive that recurring revenues (ARR) during the second quarter increased.
I have now been CEO for just over a year, and it is my task to commercialize the company's unique technology. During the second quarter of the year, we signed several important partnership agreements in both our business areas, Algo and Digital Identity. The fact that we also strengthened our group executive with Joakim Nydemark, who took over as EVP and CCO of Algo in June, also marks a milestone in this commercialization phase. It is now clear that Precise Biometrics is a company that not only delivers world-leading solutions to the mobile phone market, but also has extremely significant potential in other areas.
As many people are aware, this has been a major challenge in the mobile phone market in recent years. The consumer electronics market in general, and mobile phones and laptops in particular, have been characterized by weak demand. This has naturally had an impact on us and has contributed to both net sales and earnings in the second quarter falling compared with the same period last vear. Most current market assessments now indicate that demand for consumer electronics will gradually recover towards the end of 2023 ahead of 2024. We are also seeing signs of this improvement in our dialogs with the various actors in the market.
"We have taken action and now I feel that we are in the desired position to maximize market potential with a solid financial position."
Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period totaled SEK 75.6 (54.6) million, which is a result of the preferential share issue, in which the company received a total of SEK 39.7 million after issue costs, which means that we can now act to invest in growth going forward in this phase of the company's development.
In the Digital Identity business area, we continue to expand our footprint in the market for our access and visitor management systems for premises and buildings. These are systems that create increased security at workplaces and in public buildings, while at the same time reducing administration for end customers. The biggest market for these kinds of solutions is the USA, and we are therefore continuing work on our geographical expansion to the USA. Our partnerships with American access companies Genetec and Flowscape Technologies put us in a strong position, and we are now working to build up sales channels via system integrators.
l am firmly convinced that the investment in the American market, combined with the fact that we want to continue to expand our fingerprint software in Algo into new verticals, gives us the potential to create more diversified revenue flows and higher earnings for Precise Biometrics in the future.
Why? There are many trends that speak in our favor. Unfortunately, many people feel that the world is becoming increasingly insecure. There is war in Europe, and we often read about companies falling victim to digital sabotage and the fact that cyber-crime is spreading. This creates an increased understanding of the need for both digital and physical security solutions. In addition to this general focus on security, there are a number of other factors that affect our operations.
Mobile devices are expected to revert to fingerprint from facial recognition, or to a combination of these two technologies, for identification. It is primarily under-display sensors that are taking market shares, the kind of sensors that Precise primarily supports. Requirements for more secure identification even when laptops are powered up are being driven by Windows Hello, for example, which is expected to increase demand for biometric solutions in the laptop segment in the coming years.
As most people are aware, a great deal is happening in the automotive industry. The process of electrification means that the software in our vehicles is becoming increasingly important. As vehicles also become more autonomous, their passengers will have different needs during the journey. This is one of the driving forces behind the market for fingerprint readers in the automotive industry being expected to double between 2023 and 2024. In the past, these were solutions for convenience, but in the future, for example, it will be important to have convenient payment solutions in vehicles. Identification via fingerprints is expected to be a key issue in that area.
These are just some of the external factors that we believe will have a positive impact on Precise Biometrics' future. In addition, during the quarter I had the opportunity to visit several customers and partners in Asia, and to see that we have strong relationships with them.
To summarize, during the year, the entire company have taken steps to create a good platform from which to grow and commercialize further in order to maximize market potential. We are now in a good shape to focus on the business, winning new orders, creating shareholder value and contributing to satisfied customers and employees.
Patrick Höijer CEO

MARKET DEVELOPMENT
ALGO BUSINESS AREA
Precise has a strong position as a software supplier in the segment for fingerprint sensors for mobile phones, in terms of both optical and ultrasound sensors.

The product offered by Precise in this area is not only integrated in the fingerprint module itself, but in a larger module manufactured by so-called Original Design Manufacturers (ODMs), which are companies that build larger panels that are used to control various functions such as driver settings.
At the end of 2021, Precise entered into licensing agreements to provide fingerprint technology to the automotive industry, and work to commercialize the solution is continuing together with Infineon. There has long been talk of integrating biometrics in vehicles, and even though there are some solutions on the market today, the market is expected to take off in the coming years. The market is still young, but is characterized by higher unit prices and long product life cycles of around 7-10 years.
In 2022, the company continued to strengthen its relationships with partners through a local presence in order to provide better local support and customize solutions for the company's customers in the Asian market. Demand for these types of sensors is expected to continue to increase in the coming years. At the end of 2022 Precise signed an agreement with French company Isorg to deliver a completely new fingerprint technology for use in mobile phones. Within the framework of this, Precise delivers a full software solution including ISP, matches and liveness, which demonstrates the company's competitiveness.
In 2022, Precise signed a partnership agreement with Korean company CanvasBio to develop fingerprint sensors for laptops together with them. Laptops constitute a new, closely related vertical for Precise, and this collaboration enables Precise to continue to capitalize on its algorithms for fingerprint recognition. This collaboration has been further intensified after the quarter with an evaluation license agreement concerning fingerprint sensors for mobile phones.
FUTURE PROSPECTS - ALGO
Sales of mobile phones, which are important for Precise's variable revenues, are expected to recover in 2024, although with some gradual recovery at the end of 2023, from the downturn that occurred during the pandemic and in 2022. In parallel with the recovery in mobile phone deliveries, fingerprint sensors are expected to continue to be the leading biometric technology for mobile phones.
Trends that are positive for Precise Biometrics include the increasing demand for under-display fingerprint sensors (optical and ultrasound), with forecasts that the market for under-display fingerprint sensors will grow to a total value of USD 2.5 billion by 2030, which represents an annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21% between 2019 and 2030. Canalys, 2023; YOLE Intelligence
There is also significant demand from other verticals, such as in the automotive industry. According to Goode Intelligence, the market for fingerprint sensors in cars is expected to total 8 million units by 2023 and 16.5 million units by 2024. The corresponding annual growth rate (CAGR) is 12% from 2018 to 2024. This offers the biometrics industry a new market segment, which is expected to reach USD 1 billion by 2024, according to Allied Market Research, 2018.

DIGITAL IDENTITY BUSINESS AREA
In recent years, Precise has developed the business to meet the demand for biometric solutions that simplify and streamline the identification process. By combining different biometric technologies in order to verify a user's identity, it is possible to create the optimal balance between convenience and security.

Precise currently holds a leading position in the Nordic region in the area of visitor management systems and growing positions in solutions for physical biometric access. There is great international market potential for biometric access to buildings through facial recognition. Precise delivers the YOUNiQ service within this application area. Precise currently has partnerships with several system integrators and YOUNiQ is integrated with several security systems, which constitute important sales channels. In 2022, additional integrations of YOUNiQ were carried out with Swedish and foreign security systems, including Certego in Sweden and Genetec in North America.
Several new installations were also carried out in 2022, including in the USA. Precise continues to work on developing integrated solutions between the company's various product areas to manage customer flows of visits and entry, for example through an integrated solution for visitor management via facial recognition.
ln 2023, Precise joined the Genetec Technology Partner Program to strengthen its presence in the US market with its YOUNiQ Access solution and entered into an agreement with Flowscape Technology for the sale of the company's visitor management system in USA.
FUTURE PROSPECTS - DIGITAL IDENTITY
Global unrest and increased fraud further drive the need for biometric solutions to secure digital and physical access.Biometrics for physical access solutions offers a combination of greater security and convenience, and is being used to an increasing extent all around the world. There are a number of different scenarios in which biometric technology is used, such as fingerprint sensors embedded in smart door locks and facial sensors embedded in access systems. A biometric smart card can also be used.
The market for biometric physical access solutions is expected to grow by USD 3.7 billion up to and including 2026, with an annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8% from 2021–2026, according to Technavion, 2022. Of the estimated global market of USD 3.7 billion, North America is expected to account for 21%, according to FACT MR, 2022. The global market for visitor management systems is expected to grow to USD 2 billion by 2026, representing an annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 16%, according to KBV Research 2020. North America is expected to be the single biggest region.


NET SALES AND OPERATING PROFIT/LOSS
NET SALES FOR THE QUARTER
Net sales during the quarter totaled SEK 17.9 (24.6) million, and net sales were divided between royalty revenues of SEK 3.5 (7.1) million, license fees (including support and maintenance) of SEK 12.5 (15.7) million and other revenues of SEK 1.9 (1.9) million. Comparative figures for licenses and other items for 2022 have been redistributed due to reclassification of EastCoast revenues. The fall in royalty revenues is due to a general temporary downturn in demand in the mobile industry compared with the previous year, combined with high stock levels at mobile manufacturers and their subcontractors. The fall in license fees is mainly attributable to certain changes in the composition of customers and renegotiated license agreements. This is combined with the fact that license fees for the second quarter of 2022 include non-recurring license fees of SEK 0.8 million.
SEGMENT - ALGO
Net sales for Algo totaled SEK 12.2 (19.1) million and are reported under royalties at SEK 3.5 (7.1) million, licenses at SEK 7.9 (10.8) million, and other at SEK 0.8 (1.2) million. Declining demand for mobile phones combined with high stock levels at various levels within the mobile industry resulted in lower royalty levels. License fees decreased compared with the second quarter of 2022, mainly due to changes in the composition of customers and renegotiated license agreements. The gross margin during the quarter totaled 78.7% (87.9).
SEGMENT - DIGITAL IDENTITY
Net sales for Digital Identity totaled SEK 5.6 (5.5) million and are reported under licenses at SEK 4.5 (4.0) million and other at SEK 1.1 (1.5) million. In the Digital Identity segment, 'other' consists largely of hardware. Comparative figures for licenses and other items for 2022 have been redistributed due to reclassification of revenues. The proportion of recurring revenues (Annual Recurring Revenue) increased, while revenues of a one-off nature decreased.
The gross margin during the quarter totaled 20.5% (43.4). The lower gross margin is mainly attributable to increased amortization/ depreciation. There was only minor depreciation of assets related to EastCoast during Q2 2022, and these have now increased because of changed accounting policies. Depreciation and amortization in the second quarter totaled SEK 2.9 (1.7) million.
EARNINGS FOR THE QUARTER
The gross margin during the quarter totaled 60.3% (78.0). This downturn is due to a change in the product mix. The Algo segment has generally had higher margins than is normally the case in the Digital Identity segment, where reduced royalties in Algo in particular have a negative impact on the margin, as this is based directly on the number of products sold by end customers. Total amortization and write-downs of capitalized development expenses was SEK 4.8 (3.5) million, with the increase relating to Digital Identity. Amortization of acquired intangible assets totaled SEK 0.6 (0.3) million.

Operating expenses for the quarter fell to SEK 17.7 (23.3) million due to a strong focus on cost control. The profit/loss at EBITDA level totaled SEK -0.6 (0.9) million. The decline in EBITDA can be explained by lower royalty revenues in Algo. The operating profit/loss for the quarter totaled SEK -6.9 (-4.1) million. Earnings for the quarter totaled SEK -6.8 (-4.3) million. Total depreciation amounted to SEK 6.3 (5.0) million, with the increase in depreciation due primarily to assets related to EastCoast. Earnings per share (average number of shares) for the quarter totaled SEK -0.09 (-0.11).

NET SALES FOR THE INTERIM PERIOD
Net sales during the interim period totaled SEK 37.0 (52.9) million. Net sales were split between royalty revenues of SEK 7.6 (17.3) million, license fees (including support and maintenance) of SEK 25.6 (31.2) million and Other of SEK 3.8 (4.5) million. Comparative figures for licenses and other items for 2022 have been redistributed due to reclassification of EastCoast revenues. Last year's component shortage was replaced by lower demand for mobile phones, which resulted in continued low production volumes in the mobile market, and consequently low royalty revenues. The fall in license fees is mainly attributable to changes in the composition of customers and renegotiated license agreements. This is combined with the fact that license fees for the interim period 2022 include non-recurring license fees of SEK 2.5 million.
SEGMENT - ALGO
Net sales for Algo totaled SEK 26.3 (41.4) million and are reported under royalties at SEK 7.6 (17.3) million, licenses at SEK 16.8 (22.0) million, and other at SEK 1.9 (2.1) million. Last year's component shortage was replaced by declining demand for mobile phones, which has resulted in continued low production volumes in the mobile market. License fees fell due to changes in the composition of customers and renegotiated license agreements. The gross margin during the interim period totaled 80.6% (88.3).
SEGMENT - DIGITAL IDENTITY
Net sales for Digital Identity totaled SEK 10.8 (11.5) million and are reported under licenses at SEK 8.8 (7.7) million and other at SEK 1.9 (3.8) million. Comparative figures for licenses and other items for 2022 have been redistributed due to reclassification of revenues. The decrease in revenues in Digital Identity is due to the fact that the proportion of Annual Recurring Revenue increased, while nonrecurring revenues decreased. Other consists mainly of hardware in the area of Digital Identity, and this has decreased due to the fact that sales of hardware for YOUNiQ are to a greater extent manaqed at the retail level. The gross margin during the interim period totaled 18.8% (37.6). The lower gross margin is due to increased depreciation.
EARNINGS FOR THE INTERIM PERIOD
The gross marqin during the interim period totaled 62.6% (77.3). The decrease is mainly due to a change in the product mix, as the Algo product segment has higher margins than the Digital Identity product segment. Amortization of capitalized development expenses totaled SEK 9.3 (6.8) million and the increase relates to Digital Identity. Amortization of acquired intangible assets totaled SEK 1.2 (0.6) million.
Operating expenses for the interim period fell to SEK 37.0 (45.8) million, due to a strong focus on cost control. The profit/loss at EBITDA level totaled SEK -1.2 (5.0) million. The decline in EBITDA can be explained primarily by lower royalty revenues in Algo.
The operating profit/loss for the interim period totaled SEK -13.8 (-4.9) million. The decline in operating profit/loss is due to lower net sales. Earnings for the interim period totaled SEK -13.7 (-5.5) million. Total depreciation/amortization totaled SEK 12.6 (9.9) million.
