CEO statement

A great opportunity

As the new CEO of TargetEveryone I will welcome all existing and potential shareholders to a company back on the offensive. After a challenging time, I am now entering a company with a great opportunity to be a real player in an accelerating market. I am both exited and inpatient to use my experience to sign and onboard new customers to our amazing solution SpectrumOne. I have been working with sales for many years and strongly believe that we will succeed in the market going forward. After several cost cuts, we now have a team that is dedicated with clear responsibilities, as we have kept only the people and partners that are vital to our success. This also makes the path to positive cash flow much shorter. I am looking forward to this fall and a fresh start for TargetEveryone!

A great opportunity

I joined TargetEveryone for two reasons – the team and SpectrumOne.

TargetEveryone has been through a very tough process with a lot of cost cuts, restructuring of operations, and termination of loss-making activities with no prospects. The outcome of this process is a much leaner company with only dedicated people left that truly contribute with value-generation to our core business. After evaluating this team, I find this as a key strength that I really believe will secure success going forward.

As a long-term shareholder I have heard much about SpectrumOne, and I admit that I have been disappointed of all the postponements. Thus, it was critical for me, that SpectrumOne was a ready and sustainable product with real opportunity, before I decided to join TargetEveryone. After assessing this carefully, I am now certain that this represent a material and tangible opportunity for us.

Coming out of the restructuring phase, I now see a company back on the offensive. I see a company with a highly skilled team and an amazing product in a high-growth market. All in all, a great opportunity for me, the TEO team, our customers and our shareholders.

Full market attention

In addition to the restructuring process, the biggest challenge to TargetEveryone has been to accelerate the signing of new SpectrumOne customers. The product is new to the market, hence we must find the most efficient way to convince the customers of its excellence. This is TargetEveryone´s ultimate goal going forward.

Both my professional passion and experience is sales and business development. After evaluating the situation, I strongly believe that we quickly can change this. Accordingly, I will put full attention into the sales and go-to market strategy. Considering our short presence in the market, we have managed to build up an impressing pipeline, and I feel sure that we will quickly capitalize on this one, if we approach the customers in the right manner.

I am also happy to see proof of concept through both Nordic and International customers. We have got very satisfying customer testimonial, where Agria Försäkring has had great commercial success with our system so far.

Further cost cuts

TargetEveryone had built up a lot more costs and obligations than the company could carry. Over the last year, this situation has been dramatically changed, and we communicated a 30 % cost cut by the end of spring. By Q2, we have continued this process which now represent an accumulated cost reduction of approximately 45 % compare to the ordinary fixed cost level by the end of last year.

1) Costs before capitalization. Temporary financial expenses and costs related to financing are not included. Baseline is December 2018

This will gradually take effect during the Fall. The last cost cuts have been downsizing of personnel as a result of the removal of some remaining non-core activities that we were committed to. These cuts will have a positive cash flow effect since these activities generated less revenue than costs. Consequently, our burn-rate is significantly lower and our need for new customers are correspondingly reduced to reach positive cash flow. It is TargetEveryone´s fundamental financial goal to reach positive cash flow as fast as possible and the combination of high income potential and low costs makes this goal closer than ever.

Transparency

I believe in an open dialogue and transparent information. I am looking forward to communicate both with customers, partners and investors, and it is my goal to increase the frequency and transparency both through vlogs, newsletters, meetings and presentations. We will be clear about our market goals, and it is my and TargetEveryone´s obligation to keep these promises.

OPERATIONS

CUSTOMERS AND NEW BUSINESSES

The revenue from the second quarter consisted of legacy revenue due to the delay in SpectrumOne. Several customers had been signed, but the revenue from these will not be visible before they are operative in the system. As the first customer started the onboarding in June, the SpectrumOne revenue is expected to grow in the third quarter.

By the end of the quarter, Electrolux was signed for SpectrumOne. This shows that our solutions are attractive to a wide scope of industries, such as retail, cars and insurance.

REVENUE AND EARNINGS

The consolidated income statement for the second quarter of 2019 comprises the parent company TargetEveryone AB and the subsidiaries TargetEveryone Sweden AB, VMSPlay Sweden AB, TargetEveryone AS and Indian TargetEveryone IT Ltd. The 30 % ownership of Cloud Explorers AS is also included in the results.

Second quarter

Net sales for the second quarter of the year amounted to SEK 2.9 (6.1) million, a decrease of SEK 3.2 million or 53 %. The lower net sales are caused by lost revenue from VMSPlay Sweden AB that was discontinued in May 2018 and ceased legacy customers. The gross profit amounted to SEK 1.1 (2.0) million for the consolidated operations, with a gross margin at 38 % (33 %). The gross margin is higher than second quarter last year due to the discontinue of VMSPlay Sweden that generated low gross margin, and removal of low-margin legacy customers.

Operating expenses excluding direct costs and depreciation amounted to SEK 7.8 (5.9) million. This is a reduction from SEK 11.1 in first quarter both affected by reductions in personnel and

operating expenses. The majority of the cost reductions in first quarter took effect in April, but a significant share is included in May and June.

1) Includes extraordinary costs related to financing of approximately SEK 1.9 million in Q1 and SEK 1.4 million in Q2

Further cost reductions were executed during second quarter to an accumulated level of approximately 45 % compare to the beginning of the year when fully effectuated. Depreciation and amortizations amounts to SEK 4.4 (2.2) million including share of earnings from associated companies. This refers to intangible fixed assets that arose after acquisitions of the Norwegian companies TargetEveryone AS and Cloud Explorers AS, and capitalized development costs. The increase compare to last year is because SpectrumOne development costs started to depreciate in January. The running development costs are similar to second quarter last year.

Operating profit (EBIT) for the period amounted to SEK -11.0 (-4.0) million, and the operating margin is negative. Net financial items amounted to SEK -1.3 (-0.01) million and have increased due to the new convertible loan and bridge loan prior to the right issue. Earnings before tax for the period amounted to SEK -12.4 (-4.0) million.

Earnings per share before and after dilution amounted to SEK -0.22 (-0.08).

In total, there has been extraordinary costs related to the financing process at approximately SEK 1.4 million in the second quarter.

First half year

Net sales for the first half year amounted to SEK 6.3 (13.6) million, a decrease of SEK 7.3 million. The gross profit was SEK 2.6 (4.5) million for the consolidated operations, with a gross margin at 41% (33%). Operating expenses excluding direct costs and depreciation amounted to SEK 19.0 (12.5) million. The personnel costs are at approximately the same level, while operating expenses are higher. The majority of this deviation consists of extraordinary costs related to two funding processes and shut-down costs from legacy business. Depreciation amounts to SEK 8.8 (4.6) million including share of earnings from associated companies. This primarily relates to intangible fixed assets arising after acquisitions of the Norwegian companies TargetEveryone AS and Cloud Explorers AS, and capitalized development costs. The depreciations have increase compare to last year because of reduced depreciation period for the intangible assets from TargetEveryone AS, and activated development costs in January. Operating profit (EBIT) for the period amounted to SEK -25.1 (- 10.3) million. Net financial items amounted to SEK -1.9 (-4.0) million. The Group is charged with interest expenses for convertible loans and shortterm loans. Profit before tax for the period amounted to SEK -27.0 (-14.4) million. Earnings per share before and after dilution amounted to SEK -0.47 (-0.31).

CASH FLOW AND FINANCIAL POSITION

Second quarter

Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital amounted to SEK -8.0 (-1.7) million for the second quarter. Changes in working capital have affected cash flow by SEK 2.9 (1.7) million, mainly because of increased account payables. Consequently, cash flow from operating activities after changes in working capital amounted to SEK -5.1 (0.0) million. Investment activities had a cash flow effect of SEK -3.0 (-0.5) million during the period consisting of capitalized development costs from SpectrumOne. Cash flow from financing activities was SEK 9.1 (0.0) million after receiving a bridge loan prior to the right issue, which in total generated a cash flow effect at SEK 1.0 (-0.6) million for the period.

First half year

Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital amounted to SEK - 18.3 (-5.9) million for the first half year. Changes in working capital had a positive impact on cash flow of SEK 6.8 (6.5) million. This is primarily a result of an increase in accounts payables. Cash flow from operating activities after changes in working capital amounted to SEK -11.4 (0.5) million. Investment activities affected cash flow negative during the period with SEK 4.9 (6.1) million due to investments in intangible assets. Financing activities amounted to SEK 13.5 (-2.5) million are explained by issuance of a new convertible loan and bridge loan prior to the right issue in second quarter.
