Letter from the CEO

I am pleased to report continued solid development for SmartCraft in the third quarter and in the fi rst nine months of 2021. We have continued to deliver on our strategy of organic growth and acquisitions.

As a specialized Software-as-a-Service player within construction we continue to see great demand for our services. We have identifi ed a market opportunity of NOK 10.5 billion in the Nordics only. The construction industry is among the largest industries in the world, but also among the least productive. SmartCraft's mission is to help construction companies improve their productivity, making SaaS solutions and mobile applications available for the industry and enabling digitalization at a low cost.

We exited the third quarter with an annual recurring revenue (ARR) of NOK 260 million, 50 percent higher than last year. This was the result of organic growth of 16 percent and the successful acquisitions of Congrid in December 2020, Homerun in May 2021 and Kvalitetskontroll in July 2021. Reported revenue continued to grow driven by the same factors, and I am

pleased to see that recurring revenue had an organic year-on-year growth of 17 percent, as we continue our strategy to transition to SaaS based solutions.

Total revenue year to date was NOK 195 million. In Q3 we saw a revenue growth of 49% to NOK 72 million, of which organic growth was 14% compared to last year. 96% of the revenue was defi ned as recurring.

"We exited the third quarter with annual recurring revenue (ARR) of NOK 260 million, 50 percent higher than last year"

SmartCraft's strategy is to grow rapidly while maintaining high profi tability and strong cash conversion. In the third quarter our EBITDA margin, adjusted for costs related to the IPO and acquisitions, was 37 percent. This was lower than in the third quarter of 2020, which to a large extent is a result of the acquired companies having lower margins than SmartCraft as a whole. Before the margin dilution from the three acquired companies, our EBITDA margin was 43 percent. We do see material synergies in the portfolio, and hence expect that the margin in the acquired businesses will develop in the direction of the group average over time.

With a leading position in the Nordic SaaS construction market, SmartCraft is set to continue the growth path both in the near and medium term. We continue to develop and intensify our sales and marketing activities. Close coordination and cross-sales of our portfolio is expected to give positive eff ects going forward. It is worth highlighting

that the Covid-19 reopening has proven to be slightly negative in the short term, as new customers are less available for the very effi cient digital sales, whereas the physical sales venues are yet to get up to speed.

In parallel, we continue to pursue our M&A strategy, searching for companies that can expand our product portfolio, geographical footprint or have strong strategic fi t in other ways. Currently, we are in continuous dialogue with companies in both existing and new geographies.

Our medium term targets of annual organic revenue growth of 15-20 percent and growing EBITDA margins due to scalability of the business stay fi rm.

The successful IPO on Oslo Børs in June 2021, important

"Our medium term targets of annual organic revenue growth of 15-20 percent and growing EBITDA margins due to scalability of the business stay fi rm"

acquisitions and continued strengthening of our organization and product base means that we have all the tools to achieve our ambitions – and continue to simplify business for construction companies.

About SmartCraft ASA

SmartCraft is a leading provider of mission-critical software to the construction industry. The Group enables construction companies to increase their productivity, reduce the administrative burden and make it easier to comply with the ever-evolving landscape of applicable laws and regulations aff ecting the construction industry. SmartCraft's vision is to become the leading provider of specialized digital solutions for construction companies in the Northwestern part of Europe.

SmartCraft provides its software solutions as a service ("SaaS"). The SaaS off erings are module-based and include comprehensive off erings of software solutions to (i) optimize project budgeting by enhancing sales and minimizing costs, (ii) enhance project execution by minimizing budget deviations and (iii) minimize project risk through full documentation and insight. SmartCraft's solutions are provided through six strong brands targeting various markets:

  • Cordel: One of the market leaders within the Heating, Water and Sanitation market, also strongly positioned within the electrician market in Norway;
  • Bygglet: One of the market leaders within the Small and Medium-sized Enterprises ("SME") general construction segment in Sweden;
  • EL-VIS: One of the market leaders within the electrician market in Sweden;
  • Congrid: One of the market leaders within the general construction market in Finland;
  • HomeRun: Finnish company with a project communication and management platform for housing projects, with great potential for cross sell on the Group customer bases and
  • Kvalitetskontroll (acquired in July): One of the market leaders in Norway of quality assurance, environment and health and safety (EHS) SaaS solution to SME companies in the construction industry.

We have a strong focus on cross group sales and sales in new regions in the Nordics. We believe the best decisions will be found by the people closest to the customers and together we have initiated many good cross group growth initiatives in the Group.

The SaaS solutions off ered by the Group are provided on a subscription basis. In general, after a 12 months nonterminable initial term, the customers' subscription turns evergreen where the subscription may be terminated by giving three months prior written notice. At the end of September 2021, the Group had more than 11 000 customers and 115 000 users utilizing its software solutions.

Operational Development

SmartCraft continued the growth in Q3, improving the recurring revenue share to 96% (93% in Q3 2020) and the ARR to NOK 260 million (+50% YoY). Average Revenue per Customer (ARPC) is NOK 27 903 in Q3 2021. This represents an increase of 22% compared to Q3 2020. The growth is driven by new customers and upsales as well as the eff ects of the recent acquisitions.

In Q3 2021, SmartCraft's ARR grew NOK 34 million (15 %) compared to the end of Q2 2021, largely driven by the acquisition of Kvalitetskontroll in July 2021.

12 months churn rate was 6.2% in Q3, slightly higher than the level in Q3 2020, but slightly lower than the 6.3% churn rate in the fi rst half of 2021.

During the pandemic we shifted our marketing to digital events and meetings. Since the ease of Covid-19 restrictions in the Nordics in Q3, we are happy to see that physical events and meetings are now back in the calendar, giving us an opportunity for more face-to-face interactions with potential customers. The physical activities are gradually increasing, and these will come in addition to the digital events and seminars that we have established during the pandemic. At the same time, as the markets have opened it has been slightly more challenging to arrange meetings with construction companies, as they fi nally can move more freely. We believe this reverse Covid-19 eff ect will normalize after the initial rush is over and we are in more normal conditions.

SmartCraft has continued to pursue its M&A strategy, and Kvalitetskontroll, which was acquired in July, has a great team and well-established quality assurance and environment, health & safety solutions in Norway. We see great opportunities for cross sales and cooperation across the group establishing SmartCraft as an industry leader in this area. Kvalitetskontroll is the third acquisition the last 10 months. The others were Congrid (December 2020), a solution for quality assurance and safety at building sites, and HomeRun (May 2021), providing digital tools for construction project communication, documentation, and project management.

Product and technology development

We have a strong focus on cross group sales and sales in new regions in the Nordics. We believe the best decisions will be found by the people closest to the customers. Hence, we are happy to see that Cordel and Kvalitetskontroll will integrate the solutions and that Bygglet and EL-VIS will extend their cooperation and integration.

Our new quality assurance solution for Cordel customers has reached 1000 users since the launch this spring. Going forward we will explore synergies between Cordel and Kvalitetskontroll in this area.

The focused eff orts to strengthen SmartCraft's position towards electricians continue, and the planned expansion to Finland goes according to plan. El-VIS has fi nalized the solution for the international market and has started sales activities in Finland. We aim to tune the marketing and sales activities to learn and scale as we improve.

HomeRun and Congrid have already moved into the same offi ce in Helsinki and will co-locate in Stockholm together with the Bygglet branch. They will extend the integration between the systems and have already started cross selling and doing joint sales- and marketing activities.

The Congrid BIM viewer that was launched in Q2 has received good feedback, and we have taken a step in the right direction to help our customers with BIM. The market is still immature, and the exact needs of the industry is evolving, but we want to position ourselves for growth in BIM.

SmartCraft is present in three geographical markets, and the revenue distribution is shown below. The acquisition of Kvalitetskontroll in June 2021 contributed to the growth in Norway, whereas the presence in Finland is a consequence of the acquisitions of Congrid in December 2020 and Homerun in May 2021.

Finland 9.9 - 25.7 - 2.4
Total revenues 72.2 48.5 195.3 140.8 195.9

SmartCraft recognizes Specialized contractors and General contractors as the operating units that form natural reporting segments.

  • Specialized contractors include the customers which provide specialized services within the construction industry, e.g. electricians, plumbers, etc.
  • General contractors include the customers in the construction industry providing services not defi ned as specialized services.

The three solutions acquired in 2020 and 2021 all fall into the General contractors segment.

The Specialized contractors segment consists of our most established brands with a long history, a strong market position in their areas and high EBITDA margins. These solutions still have a share of customers with the solutions deployed on-premise. We are continuously moving these customers to a SaaS environment, which over time will enable higher revenue growth.

Great teams consist of great people. SmartCraft will report on ESG in 2022 to show that we care about the environment, society and the people in our company, and how these factors drive business value. We have lately taken some steps in the right direction regarding gender equality:

  • 43% of the Board of Directors are women
  • 10 out of 32 Nordic management team members are women (31%)

After a string of acquisitions, we have entered a phase where we strengthen our eff orts when it comes to improving systems and procedures in order to work as one collaborative team, fi nding the best cross sales and upsales opportunities as well as the pockets of revenue opportunities.

SmartCrafts consolidated revenues were NOK 72.2 million in Q3 2021 and NOK 195.3 million year to date. This was a growth of 48.7% and 38.7% respectively compared to the same period last year. The revenue growth was driven by the acquisitions of Congrid (December 2020), HomeRun (May 2021) and Kvalitetskontroll (July 2021), and the continued focus on the Group's SaaS solutions.

Although the Group's ARR has no seasonality, July and August are holiday months in our core markets, which aff ects new sales. Compared to Q3 2020 the markets have eased the Covid-19 restrictions. We experienced that it has been slightly more challenging to arrange meetings with construction companies, as they fi nally could move more freely. This has aff ected new sales and non-recurring revenue. We believe this reverse Covid-19 eff ect will normalize after the initial rush is over and we are in more normal conditions.

SmartCraft has a strategy to operate all customers on common SaaS environments. Hence, non-recurring revenue is decreasing as the migration progresses. The Group's currency adjusted organic revenue growth was 14.4% in Q3 2021 and 15.6% year to date. See table for growth splits.

Currency adjusted organic growth Q3'21 YTD 30.9.2021
Fixed price subscriptions (ARR) 16.0% 16.7%
Transaction priced add-on subscriptions 21.1% 25.4%
Total recurring revenue 16.5% 17.5%
Non-recurring revenue -19.4% -9.8%
Total revenue 14.4% 15.6%

The reported EBITDA in Q3 2021 was NOK 22.8 million. The EBITDA in Q3 2021 was aff ected by costs related to the recent IPO and the acquisition of Kvalitetskontroll AS in July this year. Adjusted for these one-time costs the adjusted EBITDA was NOK 26.5 million. The adjusted EBITDA margin for Q3 2021 was 36.7%, which is lower than for the same period last year when the adjusted EBITDA margin was 44.3%. Since Q3 2020 SmartCraft has acquired Congrid, HomeRun and Kvalitetskontroll. These solutions have a considerably lower EBITDA margin than the rest of SmartCraft. Adjusted EBITDA margin without the three recent add-ons is 42.7% in Q3 2021 and 45.8% year to date September 2021 compared to 41.2% year to date September 2020. We expect that over time we will be able to increase EBITDA margin in the recent acquired solutions.

Depreciations and amortizations were NOK 5.5 million in Q3 2021 compared to NOK 4.2 million in Q3 2020. The increase is a result of the Group's continuous R&D activities and acquisitions.

Operating profi t was NOK 17.3 million in Q3 2021 compared to NOK 16.6 million in Q3 2020. The increase was off set by costs related to the IPO and acquisitions, and a higher cost base in the acquired companies.

Net fi nancial income was NOK 0.5 million in Q3 2021 compared to NOK -3.3 million in Q3 2020, as fi nancial expenses were reduced due to lower net interest bearing debt.

Cash fl ow

Cash fl ow from operating activities was NOK 10.4 million in Q3 2021 and NOK 67.8 million year to date, driven by changes in net working capital. These changes are a result of up-front payment from customers and public duties payable.

Cash fl ow from investing activities was NOK -49.7 million in Q3 2021 and NOK -89.3 million year to date, driven by net payments for acquisitions. Capitalized R&D was NOK 3.4 million in Q3 2021 compared to NOK 2.8 million in Q3 2020. The corresponding fi gures were NOK 11.9 million year to date September 2021 and NOK 8.9 million year to date September 2020.

Net cash fl ow from fi nancing activities was NOK 47.4 million in Q3 2021 and NOK 93.2 million year to date, driven by the net proceeds from the equity capital increase in connection with the listing on Oslo Børs, off set by repayment of loan facilities and redemption of preference shares.

Financial position

A greenshoe option was issued in connection with the IPO in June 2021 and the following stabilization period. The option was partially exercised in July raising equity capital of NOK 68 million. SmartCraft is well capitalized to deliver on the stated growth ambitions and M&A strategy. The acquisition of Kvalitetskontroll was completed by payment in cash and shares.

Total assets amounted to NOK 866.6 million (NOK 690.9 million at the end of 2020), of which cash and cash equivalents amounted to NOK 145.3 million (NOK 79.9 million at the end of 2020). Non-current assets amounted to NOK 691.7 million (NOK 590.3 million at the end of 2020) which primarily consist of goodwill and intangible assets from the Group's R&D and acquisitions.

Total liabilities amounted to NOK 164.1 million (NOK 366.9 million at the end of 2020). The decrease is related to the repayment of loan facilities (NOK 234.5 million), off set mainly by the increase in deferred revenue.

Events after the reporting date

SmartCraft has focus on cross-sales of solutions and cross border expansion of existing solutions in the Nordics. On October 26th SmartCraft announced the deal with JSB Construction AB, one of Sweden's largest private housebuilders, showing the potential to expand Congrid outside Finland. The Group continues to focus on investigating and executing on cross sales and expansion with both established and recently acquired solutions.

Share information

At the end of Q3 2021 SmartCraft ASA had 171.5 million shares. Average number of common shares the fi rst nine months of 2021 was 150.5 million shares. Including the preference shares the average number of total shares the fi rst nine months of 2021 was 347.5 million shares. The preference shares were redeemed June 23, 2021.

Risk factors

Risk factors are described in the information document prepared in connection with the listing on Oslo Børs, published June 24, 2021.

Outlook

We stay very positive on the future outlook and our long-term growth prospects are excellent. Being a specialized provider of SaaS solutions to the construction industry, we are delighted to observe that there is a great demand in the construction industry for digital solutions to automize processes which make sure that companies and their workers optimize their productivity. SmartCraft is already a market leader in the Nordics where we estimate the market potential to be around NOK 10.5 billion. This market is expected to grow in double digits annually. We expect to capture our share of this through organic growth and further acquisitions. Additionally, we have an ambition to take a leading role in Northwestern Europe delivering software to SME construction companies.

As stated in connection with the IPO in June 2021, SmartCraft targets 15-20% organic growth in the medium-term, and any acquisitions will come on top of that. We expect adjusted EBITDA margin in the medium-term to increase due to scalability of the business. Impact from acquired companies last 12 months and additional costs as a listed company are short-term considerations to the adjusted EBITDA margin.
