CEO COMMENTS: POSITIVE MOMENTUM FOR LONG-TERM GROWTH

The second quarter has seen further steps forward on our commercialization journey. Several new and exciting customer projects involving our algorithm products have been launched, with production and revenue expected in the second half of the year and beyond. The investment in the Netherlands is starting to generate revenue and our updated offerings for increased security with BioLive and multi-factor authentication have been well received by both new and existing customers.

We continue to show an operating profit before depreciation (EBITDA) for the third quarter in a row; SEK 3.2 (-1.2) million for the first half of 2024. Net sales were also up year-on-year in the first half of 2024 to SEK 42.3 (37.0) million. Sales costs increased in the second quarter compared to the first, an effect brought about by investments in marketing and sales that impacts EBITDA. We are confident that these well-balanced initiatives will have a positive effect on net sales going forward.

MARKET

It is good to see that the positive momentum Precise Biometrics had in Q1 continued in Q2, in spite of the geopolitical situation. We received clear signals during the quarter that the mobile market has started to grow again, and that interest in biometric IT security solutions is increasing. We see the reasons for this increase as being the global security situation, the rapid development of AI and the fact that biometrics combines user-friendliness and high security in a unique way. It is also positive for us that IT security is a high priority among both companies and government agencies globally, and Precise Biometrics is well positioned and in a much better situation financially now than it has been for a long time. We will continue to execute our strategic plan with the goal of delivering profitable growth.

I am also pleased to see the increased interest in our company on the stock market and that the progress and work done by the team is being recognized.

I am also pleased to see the increased interest in our company on the stock market and that the work done is being recognized.

OUR BUSINESS

Demand for our algorithm products has been good throughout the first half of the year. Especially for more complex sensors and software solutions that meet the increased security requirements of our customers. Our positioning with algorithms for the latest generation of fingerprint sensors based on ultrasound is important in this respect and continues to create good conditions for growth. We have also launched a product for palm recognition, which is a new modality providing an excellent complement to fingerprint and facial recognition. This product is available both as algorithm technology for sensor manufacturers and as an end-customer product integrated into our YOUNiQ system. Examples of applications are payment and door access.

Liveness and fraud detection, where the Precise product BioLive has a unique position on the market, are also more relevant than ever. By detecting fake biometric prints and images and verifying that a biometric print belongs to a living individual, the highest security requirements in the world can be met.

Alongside this, there was full activity within YOUNiQ and the Digital Identity business area during the period, and we feel that the current security situation strengthens our position in both access and visitor systems. We have a strong focus on ensuring higher growth of our Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) and I can see that the activities we are engaging in now that involve more sales efforts and more retail partners will make a big difference going forward.

WHAT DOES THE FUTURE HOLD

There is no doubt that biometrics represents the way ahead for personal identification and authentication in a number of different areas. Several of the exciting new customer projects initiated during the first half of the year are expected to go live in the second half of the year, which should benefit our business and hopefully continue to build on the positive momentum gained in the first two quarters. The fact that

our management team will be strengthened by our new CFO Maria Wester, who will be in post from the end of August, and will contribute new perspectives and highly relevant skills at this stage of the company's development, is also positive.

That being said, demand in the electronics market is cyclical and trend-sensitive. However, as a pure software company, we have the opportunity to quickly adapt to market requirements, and thus further strengthen our position in this situation, as many of our competitors who also build hardware do not have the facility to make the switch as quickly.

Safety and security are important values, especially in this day and age. Precise delivers solutions that help create a safer world hundreds of thousands of times every second, 24 hours a day, all year round, when our world-leading biometric technology makes the individual the key to unlock doors, mobile phones, computers, and cars, or to create secure authentication when making a payment.

I am very proud of the work the whole Precise team is doing to take the company to new heights, and I look forward to the future with confidence in 2024. We are fully focused on creating a profitable growth journey through increased market presence, high-quality products and a more efficient sales and delivery process.

Joakim Nydemark CEO

UPDATE FROM THE BUSINESS AREAS

BIOMETRIC TECHNOLOGIES

Precise is experiencing a positive market situation and continued increased interest in biometric solutions. The company's offerings are well positioned and adapted to the needs of the market, where the main drivers are increased security and a good user experience. Collaboration with important partners continues to be deepened, driving business in the right direction.

Precise generally has a strong position in the market and excels in the more complex premium segments such as

  • fingerprint algorithms for ultrasonic sensors.
  • anti-spoofing and liveness to minimize the risk of fraud.
  • authentication solutions for the automotive industry
  • multi-factor authentication.
  • palm recognition.

Some of the highlights during the quarter:

  • The mobile phone market is growing and demand is increasing for our algorithm products for ultrasonic sensors, anti-tampering and liveness.
  • A new version of BioLive, our anti-tampering and liveness solution, was released. The first generation of the product is live in several products on the market, and the latest generation is now being evaluated by several potential customers.
  • Our offering creates great interest in product verticals such as smart door locks, vehicles, and laptops. New products, including our algorithm products, in both laptops and smart locks, were launched in the second quarter. There is a great deal of activity in the automotive segment and partnerships are progressing according to plan.

STRONGER COMMITMENT TO ULTRASONIC FINGERPRINT SOLUTIONS

Precise expects increased demand for ultrasonic fingerprint algorithms for mobile phones in the coming years. The company is therefore launching a next generation ultrasonic fingerprint solution and placing an elevated technical and commercial focus on the ultrasonic fingerprint sensor segment. This focus aims to further advance Precise Biometrics' strong position in the area and will be funded by redirecting and optimizing existing resources and expertise.

DIGITAL IDENTITY

The desire to use modern technology to improve security, efficiency and customer service, as well as the current security situation, strengthen Precise's position in the fields of both access and visitor systems. After a rather sluggish start to the year, which is normal and according to plan, sales increased during the quarter. We are seeing great interest in our solutions in Sweden, the US and the Netherlands.

Our work on developing stronger partner relationships continued during the quarter and produced results in the form of business secured in all markets. There has also been a major update of our YOUNiQ Visit visitor system.

Some of the highlights during the quarter:

  • New release of YOUNiQ Visit with functions for parcel delivery, new integrations to access system, simplified check-in with "Scan and check-in", etc.
  • Success in international markets with business secured in the Netherlands, with Flowscape and for YOUNiQ Access in the US.
  • New regulations simplify sales of cloud-based solutions to the public sector.

NEW CUSTOMERS

Precise signed many exciting Digital Identity customers during the quarter. Some examples of companies that have signed a new agreement or updated an existing agreement are Altiden, AP Moller Maersk, Cancerfonden (Swedish Cancer Society), Familjebostäder, IT-Total, Kraftstaden, Linköping Municipality, NWT Group, PwC, Samhall, SLF, Speed Group, Teknikföretagen (Association of Swedish Engineering Industries), Foreign Policy Institute, Familjebostäder, Öresundskraft and The Commonwealth Texas.

NEW RELEASES AND ROADMAP

New releases of both YOUNiQ products were launched during the quarter, and there is a clear roadmap going forward, which includes both new functionality and further improved security and compatibility with different security standards.

CUSTOMER OFFERING

In a society where security is becoming increasingly central, Precise Biometrics helps to create increased peace of mind. This is done by developing innovative technological solutions in the field of biometric recognition, where simplicity and a first-class user experience are combined with a very high level of security because "YOU are the key". Instead of using a PIN code, password, key, card, etc. to authenticate yourself, you use your finger, face, or palm.

There are areas of application in both digital and physical access, and the applications can be found in, for example, mobile phones, laptops, smart locks, security keys and vehicles, and in visitor and access systems.

The offering consists of algorithm products, basic technology, which component manufacturers use in their products, and also end-customer products for access and visitor management. The focus of all solutions is to combine high security with a first-class user experience through outstanding technology, based on AI and Deep Learning.

– YOU ARE THE KEY

NET SALES AND OPERATING PROFIT/LOSS

NET SALES FOR THE QUARTER

Net sales during the quarter increased to SEK 20.6 (17.9) million, and net sales were divided between royalty revenues of SEK 8.1 (3.5) million, license fees (including support and maintenance) of SEK 10.4 (12.5) million and other revenues of SEK 2.1 (1.9) million. Royalty revenues were up year-on-year as a consequence of new customer projects and general volume growth in the mobile industry. License fees were down yearon-year, mainly due to changes in the composition of customers and renegotiated license agreements due to the reduced support needs of some customers.

BIOMETRIC TECHNOLOGIES

Net sales for Biometric Technologies totaled SEK 15.1 (12.2) million and are reported under royalties at SEK 8.1 (3.5) million, licenses at SEK 5.7 (7.9) million, and other revenue at SEK 1.3 (0.8) million. The increase in royalty revenues is partly due to Precise being correctly positioned in the area of new sensor technologies such as ultrasound. License fees were down yearon-year mainly due to changes in the composition of customers and renegotiated license agreements due to the reduced support needs of some customers. The gross margin during the quarter was 84.6% (78.7). The increase in gross margin is primarily due to higher sales. Royalty revenues are based on the customers' sales volumes, and increased royalty revenues therefore have a positive impact on margins as they do not entail any extra costs for Precise.

DIGITAL IDENTITY

Net sales for Digital Identity totaled SEK 5.5 (5.6) million and are reported under licenses at SEK 4.7 (4.5) million, and other revenue at SEK 0.8 (1.1) million.

The proportion of recurring revenues (Annual Recurring Revenue, ARR) increased, while revenues of a non-recurring nature decreased. his is part of the company's strategy to allocate a larger proportion of revenue as recurring ARR instead of one-off licenses. The ARR at the end of the quarter was SEK 18.6 (17.8) million.

The gross margin during the quarter was 35.4% (20.5). The higher gross margin is mainly due to a lower proportion of hardware sales, where the margin is lower. Depreciation and amortization in the second quarter totaled SEK 2.9 (2.9) million.

EARNINGS FOR THE QUARTER

The gross margin during the quarter was 71.4% (60.3). The increase is primarily caused by increased sales and a changed product mix, as sales in Biometric Technologies increased and this product segment has higher margins. Total amortization of capitalized development expenses was SEK 4.2 (4.8) million. Amortization of acquired intangible assets totaled SEK 0.6 (0.6) million.

Operating expenses for the quarter increased to SEK 20.4 (17.7) million, primarily due to higher sales costs. The profit/loss at EBITDA level improved to SEK 0.1 (-0.6) million. The improved EBITDA result is primarily attributable to higher net sales.

The operating profit/loss for the quarter totaled SEK -5.7 (-6.9) million. Earnings for the quarter totaled SEK -5.6 (-6.8) million. Total depreciation/amortization totaled SEK 5.8 (6.3) million.

Earnings per share (average number of shares) for the quarter totaled SEK -0.07 (-0.09).

NET SALES FOR THE INTERIM PERIOD

Net sales during the interim period totaled SEK 42.3 (37.0) million. Net sales are reported under royalty revenues at SEK 18.6 (7.6) million, license fees (including support and maintenance) at SEK 20.2 (25.6) million and other revenues at SEK 3.5 (3.8) million. The increase in royalty revenues is largely due to Precise being correctly positioned within new sensor technologies such as ultrasound and the number of units sold in the mobile market in general increasing during the year compared to 2023. License fees were down year-on-year, mainly due to changes in the composition of customers and renegotiated license agreements due to the reduced support needs of some customers.

BIOMETRIC TECHNOLOGIES

The increase in royalty revenues is largely due to Precise being correctly positioned within new sensor technologies such as ultrasound and the number of units sold in the mobile market in general increasing during the year compared to 2023. License fees decreased compared with the same period last year, mainly due to changes in the composition of customers and renegotiated license agreements due to the reduced support needs of some customers. The gross margin during the interim period was 84.9% (80.6).

DIGITAL IDENTITY

Net sales for Digital Identity totaled SEK 10.5 (10.8) million and are reported under licenses at SEK 9.2 (8.8) million and other revenue at SEK 1.3 (1.9) million. The decrease in revenues in Digital Identity is due to the fact that the proportion of Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) increased, while non-recurring revenues decreased. his is part of the company's strategy to allocate a larger proportion of revenue as recurring ARR instead of one-off licenses. Other revenue 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 managed at the retail level.

Consequently, there is no direct link between the ARR figure and future software revenues 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 Algo, and therefore license fees are not followed up using the definition of ARR in this segment.
