Management Report

The Group's unaudited consolidated net turnover in the third quarter (Q3) of the financial year 2021/2022 was EUR 8.6 million, which is an increase of 46% compared to the third quarter of the financial year 2020/2021.

The turnover in North and Latin Americas was 49% or EUR 4.2 million. Compared to the turnover in the same quarter of the previous financial year, the turnover increased by 9%.

The turnover in Europe and CIS countries amounts to 37% or EUR 3.2 million, which is 82% more than in the 3rd quarter of the previous financial year. The turnover of the AMEA (Asia, Middle East, Africa) region grew 4 times compared to the corresponding quarter of the previous financial year and accounts for 14% or EUR 1.2 million.

In the third quarter of this financial year, SAF Tehnika took part in trade shows and continued its marketing activities on digital platforms. In total, the company participated in 6 exhibitions and conferences of various scale, the largest of which were held in the USA, including WISPAmerica (telecommunications), IWCE 2022 (critical communications) and Midwest Poultry Federation Convention (chicken farming).

In the third quarter, special emphasis was placed on raising awareness and competitiveness of the Aranet brand in global markets. A brand strategy and a new visual identity have been developed, along with a brand story in a video format and a new Aranet.com website that provides a much more transparent and clear view of Aranet products and solutions offered. The indoor air quality sensor of the Aranet product line, Aranet4, is still showing growth, and demand exceeds earlier forecasts.

In turn, successful cooperation with several partners was established in the verticals of microwave radio communication and measuring devices. A trilateral cooperation agreement was concluded with GeoLinks, the largest holder of the licensed spectrum of 29-31 GHz in the USA, and Double Radius for the production and supply of microwave radios in the corresponding range, which will provide additional opportunities for their implementation in the USA. In the measuring product line, the European-funded Spectrum Compact drone project was completed, helping to build SAF Tehnika's image as a technological innovator. Product development will continue in the fourth quarter to improve the drone project both technically and commercially.

Comparative charts of Q3 sales volumes by regions:

In the reporting quarter, the Group's products were sold in 62 countries.

The Group's unaudited consolidated turnover for the 9-month period of the financial year 2021/2022 was EUR 25.57 million, which is 48% more than the amount of revenue in the previous financial year.

During the 9-month period, revenues in North and Latin Americas represented 52% of the total Group's turnover and amounted to EUR 13.27 million, thus showing an increase of 14% compared to 9 months of the previous financial year. Revenue from the European and CIS countries represented 37% of the total turnover, having increased 2.1 times against 9 months of the previous year and amounted to EUR 9.38 million. Revenue from the AMEA (Asia, Middle East, Africa) region increased 2 times or EUR 1.5 million, thus making 11% of the Group's total turnover.

Comparative charts of 9-month sales volumes by regions:

The Group's expenditures did not exceed the planned volumes and were generally higher than in the same period a year earlier, which is due to the increase in the number of employees, investment in sales promotion in existing and new market segments. The Group continues to invest in the development of new products and modification of existing products.

The Group completed the third quarter of the financial year 2021/2022 with a profit of EUR 1.65 million (unaudited). The result of the 3rd quarter of the previous year was a profit of EUR 967 thousand.

The unaudited consolidated result for the 9-month period of the financial year 2021/2022 is profit of EUR 5.14 million. The Group's profit for 9 months of the previous financial year 2020/2021 was EUR 2.11 million.

The Group's net cash flow for the 9-month period of the financial year is negative – EUR 3 million. In December 2021, dividends were paid in the amount of EUR 0.67 (sixty-seven cents) per share, or total EUR 1.99 million. The Group's net cash balance was EUR 4.6 million. In the third quarter of the financial year 2021/2022, EUR 201 thousand were invested in acquisition of fixed assets.

Market Overview

There has been no rapid change in the microwave radio market over the last quarter. We believe that significant changes in the microwave radio market are not expected in the near term, but, in the longer term, there may be certain customer segments that could reconsider investment volumes in network construction. Some national telecommunications infrastructure development projects in Europe have been postponed in the context of an increase in energy costs. SAF regularly works with all clients to identify and minimize risks in a timely manner, as well as works with IoT segment solutions in order to continue the development and diversify SAF Tehnika's product offering. The Group does not have significant customers and suppliers in the region involved in military operations (Russia, Ukraine or Belarus), so there is no direct impact on the volume of orders.

There is still an increase in demand for radio links that provide increased data transfer rates.

Guidelines

SAF Tehnika is a company with long-accumulated experience and knowledge in the development and production of microwave links. After the pandemic, the group continues to follow the epidemiological rules in the home country, ensuring compliance with the relevant norms. During the third quarter, the manufacturing facility of SAF Tehnika operated in its normal mode, the company manufactured and shipped its products worldwide. At the manufacturing facility, the work is organized in such a way as to reduce physical proximity (by working remotely or rearranging workplaces), paying special attention to ventilation and air quality.

Since the outbreak of hostilities in Ukraine by Russia, the direct impact on the Group's activities is relatively limited, but the uncertainty of the business environment has increased. The Group carefully assesses possible cost growth forecasts and potential risks. The Group's operations are affected by the global shortage of various electronic components. Supply chains could be expected to experience more and more difficulties - alternative transport options could increase the time and cost of delivery. As in times of global pandemic, the company regularly reviews procurement volumes and deadlines, and continues to accumulate inventory in order to be able to fulfil most of the orders within normal lead times. This applies to all SAF product families – microwave links, Spectrum Compact and Aranet.

The Group continues to study market demand and problematic issues in order to be able to offer the necessary product modifications both on a daily basis and in the context of changing global circumstances. Investment in product development continues.

The goal of the company is to stabilize the turnover level, which ensures a positive net result in the long run. The Board of SAF Tehnika remains cautious and refrains from providing specific sales and performance forecasts.

As of March 31, 2022, the Group had 238 employees (222 employees as of March 31, 2021).
