Quarterly Report • Jul 16, 2019

Q2 and 1st half 2019 Financial report and status

1

We continued to deliver a strong underlying growth and performance in Q2 2019. As Alimerka purchased the cash management systems under rental in Q2 last year, this influenced the revenue and EBITDA figures last year with MNOK 36 and MNOK 21, respectively. Adjusting for this, the underlying revenue growth in Q2 was 19 %, whilst the underlying EBITDA improvement was MNOK 25, whereof the IFRS effect was MNOK 5.7.

Revenue growth in Q2 stems from the business areas Retail Technologies and Cash Security. EBITDA is in addition affected by improved margins as well as effects of previously announced MNOK 30 p.a. cost reduction initiatives. We also see that our rental solutions, both for products and software, are being well received by the market.

StrongPoint is actively pursuing strategic partnerships as a tool to strengthening our business model. In Q2 we announced two new exciting partnerships: Firstly, we announced the partnership with Reflexis, the US-based workforce and taskforce management software tool. The partnership provides StrongPoint the opportunity to sell and install the Reflexis solution to customers in the Nordics and the Baltics. Secondly, we announced a partnership with Optical Phusion (OPI), granting OPI the

rights to sell our current

E-commerce Logistics Suite to customers in North America. We continue to invest in e-commerce,

will continue through 2020. Going forward, we will focus on strengthening our Retail Technology business. Firstly, this means further maintaining and strengthening our relevance in Norway, Sweden and the Baltics. Furthermore, we will invest to increase our presence in Spain and Germany. Finally, we will continue to grow our e-commerce business into a significant part of StrongPoint's business. In this context, we will continue to explore both partnerships and M&A opportunities in the future where benefits and interests are aligned. Beyond that, we will do our outmost to be the best owner and employer for all business under the StrongPoint umbrella.

Strong 2nd quarter performance

The revenue in Q2 2019 show a total increase of 4 %. The underlying growth reached a level of 19 % due to one-off items in Q2 2018. The sale of the Cash Management as a Service contract to Alimerka resulted in an one-off payment of MNOK 36.0 with an EBITDA effect of MNOK 21.3. The increase in the adjusted revenue stems from higher activity in the Retail division and Cash Security. Retail Norway had high activities related to Vensafe and Pricer Electronic Shelf Labels (ESL) in the period. Retail Baltics had both good progress in deliveries of existing products while simultaneously installing new solutions, such as ESL, Click & Collect and Self-Checkout, to existing customers. Cash Security had higher deliveries in France and Belgium compared to last year.

EBITDA for the group was MNOK 22.1 (18.3) in Q2. Adjusted for the Alimerka agreement in 2018, the EBITDA showed a growth of MNOK 25, whereof the IFRS 16 effect was MNOK 5.7. In addition to revenue growth, the MNOK 30 p.a. cost savings program affects the EBITDA positively.

Restructuring of France and Belgium offices to Partner offices, and investing in the E20-project, influenced the EBITDA negatively by a total of MNOK 4 in the quarter.

Delivery of Cash Management through the rental solution in Spain (Easy Access) affected both revenue and EBITDA in the quarter. Financial figures will continue to be influenced by the mix of paid and rental solutions going forward.

Important milestones for go-to-market model

StrongPoint joins forces with Reflexis, the industry leader in real-time store operations and workforce management solutions, to pursue opportunities in the Nordic countries and the Baltics. By partnering with Reflexis in these regions, StrongPoint will expand its product portfolio with best-in-class Real-time Task management and Workforce solutions, which simplify store operations, optimize labor spend, and improve store execution.

A partnership agreement was signed with Optical Phusion, Inc. (OPI), USA to distribute StrongPoint's e-commerce solutions in North America. OPI is a leading enterprise mobility integration provider offering application-based solutions for the retail marketplace.

Based on the success of using the RoadRunners sales consept in Spain, StrongPoint will develop this concept further in the Spanish market as well as in Germany. The first orders through our new Road Runners in Germany were delivered in Q2. We are still early in the process, but can already see increased market activity in the country.

Our Retail sales offices in Belgium and France were converted to partner networks in Q2. This is part of a broader effort to focus on primary markets, and the process of building up an efficient and effective partner network. Russia and Malaysia were converted earlier this year.

Easy Access, which enables customers to rent Cash Management systems through StrongPoint, is rapidly growing in Spain. There was installed more than 70 systems in Q2, three times as many installations compared to Q1.

Norway

Q2 was a strong quarter for Retail Norway with a growth of 51 %. Main drivers were deliveries of Vensafe and Pricer ESL. Vensafe deliveries are related to a replacement project to two of the largest grocery chains and is expected to be finalised during Q4 2019, with a lower installation rate than first half of 2019.

StrongPoint started delivering Pricer electronic shelf labels to Joker in the first part of the year, and the deliveries is expected to be completed by 2020.

The pilot of Click & Collect at Meny is still being evaluated by the customer.

Sweden

The operating revenue had a growth of 13 % compared to last year. Increased volume of Pricer ESL, Vensafe and CashGuard, in addition to some hardware deliveries within e-commerce, are the main drivers to the growth.

During the quarter StrongPoint has delivered the first Click & Collect locker to an ICA store. Coop has signed agreement for pilots on Click & Collect.

StrongPoint is investing in "productification" of the E-commerce Logistics Suite. The project, called E20, will continue through 2020, and is estimated to a total cost of MNOK 5 p.a. in 2019 and 2020. This investment will develop our E-commerce Logistics Suite into a fully fledged SaaS solution enabling a global rollout to a larger extent.

Baltics

The Baltic countries have delivered yet another strong quarter, and are increasing it's relative share of the

Retail Technology revenue. This is the fourth consecutive quarter with year over year growth in revenue. Good underlying operations and several large deliveries, especially within Self-Checkout efficiency solutions, are contributing to the growth. Major retailers such as Rimi, Maxima, Mego and "top!" Group are choosing the efficiency solutions from StrongPoint like Self-Scanning solutions in collaboration with Datema Retail. There are also ongoing pilots for both Click & Collect and E-commerce Logistics Suite.

EMEA/Partners

The revenue in Q2 2018 was impacted by the sale of the Cash Management as a Service contract to Alimerka, which resulted in a one-off payment of MNOK 36.0 with an EBITDA effect of MNOK 21.3. The year-to-date figures are also influenced by monthly service fees provided by Alimerka during first four months in 2018 by MNOK 4.

StrongPoint has received the first order on Click & Collect from a Spanish supermarket chain and a logistics company. Both customers see the benefit of StrongPoints Click & Collect solution and the pilots will be used to evaluate if this solution will be a part of their future delivery concept.

Despite the change in delivery from sold to rental solutions of Cash Management, there was an underlying growth in Spain adjusted for the one-off of Alimerka. The rental agreements imply deferred revenue of MNOK 5.5 compared to if the systems were sold.

To further increase sales, the Group uses agents (RoadRunners) in Spain and Germany. The agents are smaller distributors whose main task is to sell CashGuard in their geographical area.

In Germany, the sale in Q2 has been a little lower than Q2 last year. Rental solutions will also be made available for smaller enterprises in Germany.

Belgium and France have been converted to partner markets, and experienced some temporary revenue decline due to the transformation.

Retail Technology

StrongPoint develops and sells technology solutions that streamline store operations, enable e-commerce, and simplify the shopping experience. The Group delivers proprietary solutions within In-store Productivity, E-commerce, Payment Solutions and Check Out Efficiency, as well as tailor-made retail solutions from leading third-party suppliers, including electronic shelf labels (ESL), POS, ERP, consulting services, scales and wrapping machines.

Retail Technology had an underlying growth of 27 %, adjusted for the Alimerka one-off in Q2 2018. The strong quarter revenue growth was mainly from Norway and the Baltics, but also Sweden had increased revenue compared to last year. Vensafe replacement project, Pricer ESL installation and Self-Checkout Solutions were the main revenue contributors in the quarter.

EBITDA in Q2 2018 was affected by the Alimerka deal with MNOK 21.3, and the underlying EBITDA was MNOK 8. Adjusted EBITDA margin last year was 4.5 %. Positive EBITDA improvement in Q2 2019 mainly comes from a combination of higher revenue and the effects of the MNOK 30 p.a. cost saving programme initiated in 2018, as well as the IFRS 16 effect.

Alimerka decided to purchase the rented CashGuards in Q2 2018, which gave a one-off effect of 36 MNOK on revenue and 21.3 MNOK on EBITDA.

Cash Security

Cash Security offers solutions for Cash In Transit (CIT). The business area focuses on innovative IBNS (Intelligent Banknote Neutralisation System) technology, which protects cash without the need for weapons or costly armored vehicles.

Cash Security had a very good quarter with a growth of 32 %. Increased revenue from France and Belgium are the main reasons of the growth compared to last year.

The significant EBITDA improvement is reflecting production and deliveries without the quality and warrenty problems Cash Security faced last year.

During Q2, Cash Security signed a general agreement for up to 580 CIT cases to Sberbank. Sberbank is the largest bank in Russia with 14 000 branches in 83 regions. The cases are expected to be delivered in second half of 2019. Key account management, deliveries, support and service is handled by StrongPoint's office in Russia.

The Cash Security business will always be affected by few but large orders, which might leads to variations in a year-on-year comparison. A LEAN project has been initiated to better alignment of cost and sales in times with lower delivery rates.

The business area has its own sales and service organization in Sweden, Russia, France, Belgium and Norway, as well as partners in several countries, including Italy, Croatia, Serbia and the UK. The CIT cases have the highest level of security in the market, and regardless of the expertise, time, methods and tools used in a robbery attempt, the contents of the cases will always be permanently stained.

Labels

Labels has leading expertise in the design and production of adhesive labels. The business area is well adapted to today's market situation with efficient work processes, new technology and modern facilities.

Labels

Operating revenue in Q2 2019 decreased by 13 % compared to last year. Majority of the decline is related to NOK/SEK currency exchange. In addition, high price competition are the main causes for the decline in revenue and margin in the quarter. Actions have been initiated to increase revenue and efficiency in production of labels.

StrongPoint has accepted an offer for compen sation from BaneNor of MNOK 55.6 to relocate from its label facility in Norway. The railway construction work is estimated to start 2020/2021, and payment of the compensation fee is estimated to January 2020. The compensation fee and time of payment is subject

to internal confirmation in BaneNor and the finalization of the agreement between the parties.

The business area is among the largest suppliers of adhesive labels in the Swedish and Norwegian markets. Labels uses FSC-certified material from EU/ EEA/UK in its label production to ensure that the paper is produced in a sustainable manner, and that the production meets the regulations for health and safety in the EU. In the autumn 2019, the Label factory in Sweden will be certified according to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. In addition there will be focus on further streamlining and digitalization of production and administrative processes.
