INTERIM REPORT FOR

Q2 2017/18 (the period 01.01.2018 - 31.03.2018)

GROWTH DESPITE UNFAVOURABLE US DOLLAR DEVELOPMENT

The Board of Directors of RTX A/S has today considered and approved the Group's interim report for the second quarter of 2017/18 (covering the period 01.01.2018 – 31.03.2018)

SUMMARY OF THE SECOND QUARTER OF 2017/18 FOR THE RTX GROUP

  • Net revenue increased in Q2 by 26.9% to DKK 106.8 million corresponding to an increase in revenue of DKK 22.7 million compared to Q2 of 2016/17. The increase in revenue in Q2 of 2017/18 is anchored in both business units, but is to some extent counterbalanced by the unfavourable development in the US dollar exchange rate, and corrected for this effect the increase was 41.9%.
  • Revenue apportioned across RTX's business units as follows:
  • Business Communications achieved an increase in revenue of DKK 19.1 million to DKK 68.8 million corresponding to a growth of 38.3% compared to Q2 of 2016/17 (corrected for exchange rate effect the growth was 58.7%).
  • Design Services increased revenue by DKK 3.6 million to DKK 38.0 million corresponding to a revenue growth of 10.4% compared to Q2 of 2016/17 (corrected for exchange rate effect the increase was 19.0%).
  • Gross profit increased by 38.5% to DKK 64.8 million in Q2 of 2017/18 compared to the same period last year. Due to the revenue mix the gross margin increased by 5.1% points to 60.7% from 55.6% in Q2 of 2016/17.
  • In Q2 of 2017/18, capacity costs increased by 8.8% driven by increased staff to meet the higher level of activity in both business units and continued investments in own financed development projects. The increased number of own financed development projects has resulted in capitalization of DKK 6.3 million in Q2 of 2017/18 compared to DKK 4.8 million in the same period last year.
  • Operating profit (EBIT) increased to DKK 19.6 million compared to DKK 4.7 million in the same period last year. The growth in operating profit (EBIT) must be seen in the light of the disruptions in the supply chain last year.
  • Cash flows from operating activities amounted to DKK 20.4 million in Q2 of 2017/18 compared to DKK 26.5 million in Q2 of 2016/17.

SUMMARY OF THE FIRST SIX MONTHS OF 2017/18 FOR THE RTX GROUP

  • In the first six months of 2017/18 RTX realized a growth in revenue by 6.3% to DKK 207.7 million corresponding to an increase in revenue of DKK 12.3 million compared to the same period last year. Corrected for exchange rate effects the growth in revenue corresponds to 16.3%.
  • Revenue apportioned across RTX's business units as follows:
  • Business Communications saw an increase in revenue of DKK 8.1 million to DKK 134.6 million corresponding to a growth of 6.3% compared to Q2 YTD 2016/17 (corrected for exchange rate effect the growth was 18.3%).
  • Design Services increased revenue by DKK 4.2 million to DKK 73.1 million corresponding to a revenue growth of 6.2% compared to Q2 YTD 2016/17 (corrected for exchange rate effect the increase was 12.9%).
  • Gross profit increased by 14.0% to DKK 121.8 million corresponding to a growth of DKK 14.9 million compared to the same period last year. Due to the revenue mix the gross margin increased by 4.0% points to 58.7% from 54.7% in the same period last year.
  • In 2017/18, capacity costs have increased by 5.7% driven by increased staff to meet the higher level of activity in both business units and continued investments in own financed development projects. The increased number of own financed development projects has resulted in capitalization of DKK 9.7 million in 2017/18 compared to DKK 6.5 million in the same period last year.
  • Operating profit (EBIT) increased to DKK 31.7 million compared to DKK 19.7 million in the same period last year. The growth in operating profit (EBIT) must be seen in the light of the disruptions in the supply chain in Q2 last year.
  • Cash flows from operating activities in the first six months of 2017/18 amounted to DKK 39.4 million compared to DKK 18.0 million in 2016/17.

OUTLOOK FOR 2017/18

• Combined with the continued investment in a broader product portfolio and technology platform, Management maintains the expectations for revenue between DKK 460-490 million, EBITDA between DKK 72-87 million and Operating Profit (EBIT) between DKK 58-73 million, where especially EBIT must be seen in the light of an increased investment level supporting the newly defined strategic directions of RTX.

Management report

Comments on developments for the second quarter of the 2017/18 financial year

WITH REFERENCE TO THE GROUP'S FINANCIAL FIGURES FOR THE SECOND QUARTER OF 2017/18

In Q2 of 2017/18, the Group realized revenue of DKK 106.8 million equivalent to an increase of 26.9% compared to DKK 84.1 million in the same period last year. Adjusted for exchange rate effects, revenue increased by 41.9% compared to last year.

Business Communications realized revenue of DKK 68.8 million in Q2, which was an increase of 38.3% or DKK 19.1 million from DKK 49.7 million in the same period last year. Corrected for exchange rate effects the increase was 58.7%. Revenue in Q2 of 2016/17 was negatively affected by changes in the Business Communications supply chain, which postponed revenue from Q2 to Q3 in 2016/17. The investment in RTX's own business headset program has generated the first sales in Q2 of 2017/18 and continued interest from customers is expected to increase sales in the months to come. Additional own financed investments in a handset program has resulted in a contract with a major new international customer.

Design Services realized growth of 10.4% in revenue to DKK 38.0 million in Q2 compared to DKK 34.4 million in the same period of 2016/17. Adjusted for exchange rate effects the growth was 19.0%. The continued activity growth in Design Services is based on an increasing demand for

customized modules and highly specialized engineering services. The development of own financed gaming platforms progresses as planned and with positive attention from potential customers.

The development in revenue resulted in an increase of gross profit to DKK 64.8 million from DKK 46.8 million in Q2 of 2016/17 equivalent to an increase of 38.5%. The gross margin was improved by 5.1% points to 60.7% compared to 55.6% in the same period last year due to a positive development in the product mix.

Capacity costs increased during the period in consequence of an increased level of activity in both business units and amounted to DKK 49.7 million in Q2 of 2017/18 compared to DKK 45.7 million in the same period last year. The higher level of activity is driven by a higher demand for customer financed development projects resulting in additionally 15 employees in Q2 of 2017/18 compared to Q2 of 2016/17.

As an effect of the increase in investments in own financed development projects, the capitalized amount was DKK 6.3 million in Q2 of 2017/18 and in line with the expectations.

Depreciations rose according to plan to DKK 1.8 million in Q2 of 2017/18 from DKK 1.2 million in Q2 of 2016/17 primarily due to higher investments in operation equipment and own financed development projects.

Operating profit (EBIT) amounted to DKK 19.6 million compared to DKK 4.7 million in the same period last year. This development is mainly due to the higher activity in Q2 2017/18, which is partly counterbalanced by an unfavorable US dollar exchange rate.

Net financial income resulted in a cost of DKK 1.3 million compared to a cost of DKK 0.2 million in the same period last year. The primary reason for the development is the exchange rate fluctuations.

Profit before tax for Q2 of 2017/18 amounted to DKK 18.3 million compared to DKK 4.5 million in the same period last year.

Profit after tax amounted to DKK 14.3 million in Q2 of 2017/18 compared to DKK 3.2 million for the same period last year.

As announced in the beginning of Q2, the company concluded the share repurchase program authorized by the Annual General Meeting. The share buyback and pay out of dividends had a negative impact on equity. The equity ratio amounted to 80.3% at the end of Q2 compared to 84.1% last year.

The Group's balance sheet total was DKK 335.3 million at the end of the second quarter compared to DKK 306.3 million in the same period last year corresponding to an increase of DKK 29.0 million. The increase is mainly attributed to our strategic decision to develop own projects.

The Group realized a positive cash flow from operations in Q2 of 2017/18 of DKK 17.9 million compared to DKK 26.8 million in Q2 of 2016/17. Last year's cash flow from operations was positively affected by an unusual reduction in working capital due to the activity drop in Q2 of 2016/17.

Shareholder focused initiatives adopted by the Annual General Meeting affected the Group's total cash flow negatively by DKK 18.8 million in Q2 of 2017/18 compared to a negative effect in Q2 of 2016/17 of DKK 33.7 million. The development is due to the decision not to initiate a new share repurchase program in Q2 of 2017/18.

The Group's total cash funds and current securities less bank debt totaled DKK 138.8 million at the end of Q2, i.e. a decrease of DKK 20.2 million compared to the same period last year. The reduction is primarily due to the shareholder focused activities and investments in own financed development projects.

OUTLOOK FOR THE 2017/18 FINANCIAL YEAR

The company maintains the expectations for revenue to be in the range of DKK 460-490 million, EBITDA in the range of DKK 72-87 million and EBIT in the range of DKK 58-73 million for the financial year 2017/18.

1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The interim report is presented in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, and further Danish disclosure requirements for interim reporting for listed companies. An interim report has not been prepared for the Parent.

The accounting policies applied in this interim report are consistent with those applied in the Company's annual report for 2016/17 which was presented in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU and additional Danish disclosure requirements for annual reports of listed companies. We refer to the annual report for 2016/17 for a more detailed description of the accounting policies.

The applied accounting policy is unchanged compared to the annual report for 2016/17. New or amended standards and interpretations becoming effective for the financial year 2017/18 have no material impact on the interim report.

2 ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

The preparation of interim reports requires management to make financial estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policy and recognised assets, obligations, income and expenses. Actual results might be different from these estimates.

The material estimates that management make when applying the accounting principles of the Group and the material uncertainty connected with these estimates and assumptions are unchanged in the preparation of the interim report compared to the preparation of the annual report as per 30 September 2017.
