INTERIM REPORT JANUARY - JUNE 2024

COMMENTS FROM THE CEO

Record cash flow

In the second quarter we again delivered robust financial results with year-on-year improvements in both gross margin and EBITDA margin. Cash flow reached an all-time-high level and organic gross profit grew by low single-digits.

Net sales were flat year-on-year at SEK 7,041 million. Our gross margin improved to 34 percent, which resulted in an organic gross profit increase of 2 percent. Growth is still lower than our longer-term aspirations, but I expect these low single-digit growth rates to remain until our growth acceleration plan delivers results or customers again start to increase their investments in customer experience and digital communications.

Our growth acceleration plan is progressing as planned with initiatives around go to market transformation, product integration, and operational excellence. We are also identifying efficiencies and reducing unnecessary overlaps. Unfortunately, this has meant that a number of colleagues were made redundant during the quarter, which has allowed us to reallocate our spend towards growth initiatives without impacting our overall profitability. Both EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA have improved year-on-year as well as sequentially.

Cash flow reached a record level this quarter with operating cash flow at SEK 1,049 million. This is a very high level even when excluding around SEK 240 million of early payments that we received in the quarter from some of our larger customers. Cash conversion, which we measure on a rolling 12-month basis, is now at 72 percent. This is well above our target range of 40-50 percent and has helped reduce Net debt/EBITDA to 1.7x, down from 2.0x in the first quarter.

Our operational performance varies considerably by region. APAC continued to develop well in the quarter; EMEA saw decline and the Americas region developed closer to the group's average. Within APAC, India performed well and contributed significantly. The increased network costs that we highlighted in the first quarter affected our North American voice business also in Q2, but I am pleased to report good progress in our negotiations with our vendors which reduces the risk of future cost increases. We are also reducing our reliance on legacy connectivity through service virtualization.

Our product mix varies greatly by region but overall, a generally slow market for SMS resulted in low year-on-year gross profit growth for our API Platform. A strong comparison quarter reduced the year-on-year growth rate within Applications as some marketing campaign activities that benefited us in 2023 did not make a corresponding contribution this year.

There is tremendous opportunity for businesses to improve how they service their customers and leverage cloud-based, digital communications to deliver a better customer experience. The rate of adoption depends partly on technology but also on the digital maturity of businesses and their willingness to invest and innovate. So far this year, we have experienced our market as quite stable and we do not expect any rapid changes in the near term.

img-0.jpeg

However, we are enthusiastic about the recent developments in mobile messaging and the prospects for new, more advanced use cases as Apple adds support for RCS in the next version of iOS.

Rich Communications Services (RCS) leverages the same apps now used for SMS but adds a number of valuable new features. Businesses can send messages using branded and verified sender IDs, include high-quality pictures and video, and leverage read receipts for vastly improved analytics. There is support for advanced two-way conversations, action buttons, and suggested replies. This functionality is already turned on by default on new Android phones, and the beta version of iOS 18 supports RCS for both personal and business use.

Another important aspect of RCS is the role of the mobile operators. Mobile operators determine the pricing, terms and conditions that apply for a sender to reach a mobile subscriber on its network – just as things work today with SMS messaging. This allows us to leverage our relationships and agreements with more than 600 operators, all over the world, to extend our strong position in SMS messaging to the emerging market for RCS Business Messaging. Our recognized leadership in CPaaS, which Gartner recently reconfirmed, also positions us as a natural partner for any business customer who wants to explore the opportunities of RCS.

We are now in an intense phase of rapid transformation where we are sharpening our focus, identifying efficiencies, and more actively reallocating our capital towards the areas where we see the highest potential. Although growth remains lower than our long-term aspirations, we are proud to deliver solid profitability and record cash flow. We are strengthening our business and investing in our future.

INTERIM REPORT JANUARY – JUNE 2024

April – June 2024

Sinch implemented a new operating model and organization effective 1 January 2024. The financial statements reflect this change with the three regions Americas, EMEA and APAC as the new operating segments. A complementary view covering the three product categories, Applications, API Platform and Network Connectivity, is also presented.

Net sales

Consolidated net sales in Q2 increased marginally to SEK 7,041m (7,021) compared to the corresponding quarter in 2023.

Organic net sales in local currency decreased by 1 percent compared to Q2 2023. Foreign exchange movements contributed 1 percent, or SEK 63m. All business is classified as organic.

Organic net sales increased in APAC but decreased in Americas and EMEA. Net sales rose in the Applications and Network Connectivity product categories and fell in API Platform. See Note 9.

Gross profit

The gross margin was 34 percent (33) for the quarter.

Consolidated gross profit increased in Q2 by 3 percent to SEK 2,386m (2,322), compared to Q2 2023. The increase is due primarily to the higher gross margin generated by the changed product mix.

The currency tailwind was 1 percent for the quarter, corresponding to SEK 25m. Organic gross profit growth was 2 percent compared to the same quarter last year.

Organic gross profit increased in APAC and decreased in Americas and EMEA.

The Applications and API Platform product categories generated a positive contribution to gross profit. Although gross profit for Network Connectivity declined compared to Q2 2023, it improved compared to Q1 2024.

Operating expenses (Opex)

Operating expenses, defined as the difference between gross profit and EBITDA, decreased by 1 percent to SEK 1,594m (1,606) compared to the same period in 2023. The majority of the cost base is attributable to direct and indirect employee benefits expenses. Compared to the same period last year, the cost base increased due to inflation, salary revisions and restructuring costs, which were offset by workforce reductions, operational foreign exchange gains/losses and reduced costs of share-based incentive programs during the period.

Adjusted operating expenses, defined as the difference between gross profit and Adjusted EBITDA, increased by 4 percent to SEK 1,519m (1,457) compared to the same period in 2023 but were unchanged compared to Q1 2024. Foreign exchange movements contributed 1 percent growth in Q2 compared to the same period last year.

The integration process evolved in 2024 from the platform integrations of previous years to the creation of a common IT infrastructure that makes it possible to execute the growth acceleration plan. Consequent upon that change, internal work previously classified as integration is no longer reported as integration. This means that reported integration costs now consist primarily of external consultancy expenses. See Note 2 for further disclosures.

See Note 11 and the definitions on page 30 for more information about operating expenses distributed by function.

EBITDA

EBITDA increased by 11 percent to SEK 792m (715). Foreign exchange movements contributed 2 percent, or SEK 11m.

The consolidated EBITDA margin was 11 percent (10).

In total, Adjusted EBITDA was SEK 75m (149) higher than EBITDA for the quarter. The adjustments include restructuring costs of SEK -55m (-28), integration costs of SEK -39m (-47) and operational foreign exchange gains/losses of SEK 34m (-41). See the quarterly summary and Note 2 for more information.

Consequently, Adjusted EBITDA was SEK 867m (865). Foreign exchange movements contributed 1 percent, or SEK 11m.

The Adjusted EBITDA margin was 12 percent (12).

The Group has a financial target to achieve growth of Adjusted EBITDA per share of 20 percent on an annual basis. Adjusted EBITDA per share was SEK 1.02 (1.03) for the quarter and SEK 4.25 (4.22) for the rolling twelve months, corresponding to an increase of 1 percent R12M. Adjusted EBITDA/gross profit was 36 percent (37) in Q2.

EBIT

EBIT amounted to SEK 170m (92).

Acquisition-related amortization, which does not affect cash flow, reduced EBIT by SEK -492m (-506). The amortization refers mainly to straight-line amortization of acquired customer relationships and acquired software.

Adjusted EBIT (EBIT excluding EBITDA adjustments and amortization of acquisition-related assets) amounted to SEK 738m (747). See the quarterly summary and Note 2 for specifications.

Growth acceleration plan

Harmonizing the company's IT environment to achieve efficiency is a key component of realizing the opportunities created by the new operating model. Sinch estimates the cost of IT initiatives over the next three years at about SEK 350m. Sinch also estimates the company's total integration and restructuring costs at about SEK 300m in 2024. These costs amounted to SEK 94m in Q2, including restructuring costs of SEK 55m.

These measures are expected to produce gross savings of about SEK 300m on a run-rate basis by the end of the year. These savings mitigate cost increases relating to merit and inflation, and are reinvested in new initiatives to drive organic growth. Progress is according to plan, and in the quarter these measures resulted in gross savings of SEK 58 million, corresponding to SEK 232 million on an annual run-rate basis.

EBIT

EBIT amounted to SEK 321m (179).

Significant events

  • Sinch was recognized as a 2024 Gartner Magic Quadrant Leader for CPaaS.
  • Sinch published a new report on customer engagement showing how businesses can more effectively meet their customers' expectations and enhance the digital customer experience.

Net sales

Net sales were SEK 4,460m (4,389), corresponding to an increase of 2 percent compared to Q2 2023. The corresponding organic growth was 1 percent. All business during the quarter is classified as organic.

Gross profit

The gross margin was 33 percent (33).

Gross profit amounted to SEK 1,490m (1,469), corresponding to an increase of 1 percent compared to Q2 2023. The corresponding organic growth was 0 percent.

Applications and API Platform made a positive contribution to gross profit growth, while Network Connectivity was a negative contributor. The growth rate in Applications slowed compared to Q1 when several marketing-related promotional campaigns made a strong contribution in the comparison quarter. Gross profit within API Platform was in line with Q1 but the growth rate was lower than in 2023. Specifically, the growth rate was weak in SMS, although this was partly offset by higher growth in email and number verification products.

The regulation of charges for American toll-free numbers (the 8YY Reform) specifically reduced gross profit in Network Connectivity by SEK $\sim 38\mathrm{m}$ in Q2, corresponding to 3 percentage points. The adverse impact of the 8YY Reform on growth will reduce in Q3 and disappear completely from the fourth quarter.

In Q1, rising network costs had a significant negative impact on gross profit in Network Connectivity. Commercial negotiations with multiple North American telecom operators has reduced the risk of future increases.

INTERIM REPORT JANUARY – JUNE 2024

Note 1. Accounting policies

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and the applicable provisions of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Disclosures in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting are provided in notes and elsewhere in the interim report. The interim report for the parent company has been prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act, which is in accordance with RFR 2 Accounting of Legal Entities. The accounting policies and estimation methods are unchanged from those applied in the 2023 Annual Report. The financial statements are presented in SEKm unless otherwise specified. Amounts and calculations presented in the tables are rounded off and may not precisely match the figures presented in the financial statements and notes.

The new or amended IFRS standards applicable for 2024 have had no material impact on Sinch's financial statements. Risks and uncertainties relevant to Sinch are described in the 2023 Annual Report.

Pillar 2 legislation on top-up taxes on large multinational groups is effective from 1 January 2024. Sinch does not believe that there will be any material impact on the results of the Group's operations for the annual reporting period ending 31 December 2024 in any of the jurisdictions in which Sinch currently operates.

Receivables and accrued revenues

Accounts receivable (both billed and unbilled) have an unconditional right to payment. Revenues based on an unconditional right to payment must be reported as unbilled receivables if the amounts have not been billed as of the reporting date, while revenues that have been billed are shown as billed receivables on the balance sheet. Most customers are billed monthly in arrears (after services are rendered) and the unbilled receivables are converted to billed receivables a few days after the close of books.

Contract assets referring to accrued revenue have a conditional right to payment, which means, for example, that Sinch must first satisfy a final contractual obligation before an unconditional right to payment is established.

Related-party transactions

There have been no significant changes in the relationships and transactions with related parties compared to that disclosed in the 2023 Annual Report.

Note 2. Operating profit

EBITDA and EBIT adjustments are intended to clarify performance in underlying operations. The adjustments include acquisition costs, integration costs, operational foreign exchange gains/losses, restructuring costs, costs of share-based incentive programs and non-recurring adjustments.

The costs of incentive programs are clarified and divided into payroll costs and social insurance costs, where payroll costs are, in accordance with IFRS 2, an estimated cost that does not affect cash flow and social insurance costs fluctuate with Sinch's price per share. Excluding these costs from Adjusted EBITDA ensures that short-term changes in the share price do not impede analysis of the underlying business and makes it easier to relate Adjusted EBITDA to Sinch's cash flow.

Sinch's financial target is defined as growth in Adjusted EBITDA per share. The future cost of Sinch's incentive programs to existing shareholders is reflected there as dilution, through an increased number of shares. By applying the new definition of Adjusted EBITDA, we ensure that the cost to shareholders in Sinch is not counted twice. Sinch's definition of Adjusted EBITDA also becomes more directly comparable with other listed competitors.

Note 3. Pledged assets and contingent liabilities

Pledged assets and contingent liabilities amounted to SEK 239m (195). Pledged assets and contingent liabilities amounted to SEK 221m at 31 December 2023.

Note 4. Incentive programs

Within the framework of the LTI 2024 incentive program adopted by the AGM on 16 May 2024, 532,451 warrants and 6,409,559 employee stock options have been granted to senior executives and key employees of Sinch. The maximum number of instruments in LTI 2024 is 17,100,000.

Within the framework of the LTI 2023 incentive program adopted by the AGM on 17 May 2023, 355,000 employee stock options have been granted to senior executives and key employees of Sinch. The maximum number of instruments in LTI 2023 is 8,385,000.

During the second quarter, 19,011 options from LTI 2019 were exercised, each carrying 10 shares, and 192,168 options from LTI 2022 were exercised, each carrying 1 share. The exercise prices were SEK 17.41 per share for LTI 2019 and SEK 14.654 per share for LTI 2022. Sinch gained SEK 6m in equity through the exercise of warrants.

Total costs for the incentive programs recognized on the income statement amount to SEK -14m (-55) for the period of January to June. Payroll costs for vested employee stock options are included in profit or loss in the amount of SEK -23m (-58) with a corresponding increase in equity and social insurance costs, improving profit by SEK 9m (2), with a corresponding reduction of provisions in the balance sheet.

The potential dilutive effect, calculated based on the exercise price of the options in relation to the average share price during the period, is 0.4 percent (0.7) upon exercise of all warrants and employee stock options in all programs. See Note 9 of the 2023 Annual Report for further disclosures regarding the Group's incentive programs LTI 2019, LTI 2020, LTI II 2020, LTI 2021, LTI II 2021, LTI 2022 and LTI 2023.

INTERIM REPORT JANUARY - JUNE 2024

Definitions

Regions

Effective 1 January 2024, the new Sinch operating model and operating segments are based on three geographical regions: Americas, EMEA and APAC. The regions represent the domiciles of our customers.

Product categories

Sinch discloses supplementary financial information across three product categories.

Applications

This product category targets business users and consists of software applications for customer engagement, supporting use cases across marketing, operations and customer care.

API Platform

Products within this category target developers and product managers. APIs allow businesses to trigger mobile messaging, voice calling, and emails from their own internal or third-party IT systems.

Network Connectivity

Network Connectivity products target telecom operators and wholesale voice buyers. The portfolio primarily includes voice and messaging interconnect services, operator software and services.

Financial measurements defined under IFRS:

Earnings per share, basic and diluted

Net profit for the period attributable to owners of the parent divided by the volume-weighted average number of shares outstanding in the period before/after dilution.

Financial measures not defined under IFRS:

The company presents certain financial measurements that are not defined under IFRS. The company believes that these measurements provide useful supplemental information to investors and the company's management for reasons including that they enable evaluation of the company's performance. Because not all companies calculate financial measurements in the same way, these are not always comparable to measurements used by other companies. These financial measurements should therefore not be considered a substitute for measurements defined under IFRS. Please refer to investors.sinch.com for a reconciliation of these financial measurements and organic growth.

Gross profit

Net sales less the cost of services sold.

A large share of Sinch's cost of services sold consists of traffic fees paid to mobile operators. Operator traffic fees differ significantly from one country to the next. Consequently, changes in traffic patterns and the volume mix can have high impact on net sales and the gross margin even though there is no effect on gross profit in absolute numbers.

Gross margin

Gross profit in relation to net sales.

Interim report Q3, Jan–Sep 2024

6 November

Capital Markets Day

Sinch will hold a Capital Markets Day on 20 November 2024. Interested parties will be able to attend in person in Stockholm or via webcast. Further information will be published well in advance of the event.

Risk assessment

Sinch is, like all businesses, exposed to various types of risks in its operations. Growth in combination with rapid and continuous changes in the business environment have made it necessary for management to increase focus on risks and risk management. Sinch has created an Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) process to identify and control risks, and to ensure that required controls and procedures are established to safeguard the assets and interests of the company. Sinch has defined five types of risks under this framework: Strategic, Operational, Legal & Compliance, Financial and External. More information about risks and risk management is provided in the 2023 Annual Report.

Outlook

The impacts of geopolitical uncertainty and changes in the macroeconomic environment, specifically inflation, interest rates and demand, are expected to persist in 2024. In spite of significant macroeconomic change during the past couple of years, Sinch has remained an industry leader with good underlying profitability and robust cash flows. Sinch launched a growth acceleration plan in 2023 and a new operating model was implemented effective 1 January 2024. The Group's exposure to Ukraine and Russia is limited to less than 1 percent of annualized gross profit. Although Sinch does not publish forecasts, the company recognizes that the effects of the prevailing macroeconomic situation will persist.
