Comments from the CEO

We continue to experience strong growth, despite significantly tougher comparative figures, with all product and user groups on the rise. At the same time, we are making good progress toward our long-term EBIT margin target. In September, we completed the acquisition of the German company Rehadapt, as planned. We continue to invest in skills, systems and tools to ensure continued growth and profitability, while increasing the scalability of the business.

Sales growth continues to be well above our long-term target at 28% for the quarter, denominated in local currency. In the US, Medicare increased its reimbursement level for our products by more than 9 percent, which will gradually affect revenue in 2023. Approximately 7 percentage points of these price adjustments have materialized thus far and as previously stated, we expect to see the full impact by the end of the year. We continue to see a trend where growth is fastest in markets that have direct sales.

The acquisition of Rehadapt, our longstanding German supplier partner, closed on September 1. Rehadapt provides a natural complement to our offering on mounting solutions for communication aids, while also strengthening our position in Germany. About 30% of Rehadapt's sales relate to sales to Tobii Dynavox. Through this deal, we are pleased to welcome about 50 new team members, mainly in Germany.

Our growth is affected by an array of factors. While we have a strong product offering and a well-functioning organization, our market remains extremely underpenetrated. In practice, the latter means that the vast majority of people in need of communication aids are never informed about or introduced to the assistive devices we and our industry peers offer. This situation includes the most advanced and wealthy economies. The root cause is a significant knowledge deficit about communication aids among the key groups responsible for prescribing them: speech language therapists and occupational therapists. A contributing factor is that relevant education related to assistive communication aids is either non-existent or severely limited.

Some diagnoses where our products can make a huge difference have received considerable attention recently, including the neurological disease ALS. However, for some of our largest user groups, such as non-verbal autism, aphasia, cerebral palsy and hundreds of other diagnoses, awareness of our solutions among prescribers and options for funding is extremely low. Even in the most well-functioning markets, only a very small number of individuals receive any kind of assistance. Vast opportunities are lost for users, families and society at large, and we are passionately dedicated to changing this situation.

I am confident that our unprecedented growth is a consequence of our relentless efforts to educate and spread awareness combined with products and services that truly make a difference – and, we have barely started.

Given the situation and our market position, this translates to significant long-term business opportunities for Tobii Dynavox and other players dedicated to helping individuals who cannot adequately communicate with their environment. In short, much remains to be done. We therefore welcome all efforts made by commercial stakeholders, patient organizations and professionals to jointly build this market. If we succeed, the outcome will be an improved life for users, their families, and society at large, along with substantial business opportunities for those who do it right.

Comments on the Group's performance

QUARTER JULY - SEPTEMBER

Revenue

Group revenue increased 33% to SEK 424 million (320). Organic sales grew by 25%. As in the previous quarters of 2023, growth was robust across all markets, as well as in all product and user groups. Currency movements had a positive impact of 5% on revenue and acquisitions contributed 3%.

Performance

Consolidated gross profit amounted to SEK 290 million (213), corresponding to a gross margin of 68% (67). The net increase was mainly attributable to the normalization of component and freight costs and progressively higher sales prices. In the third quarter of last year, the gross margin was positively affected by currency effects by approximately three percentage points, of which one percentage point was non-recurring.

Operating profit totaled SEK 48 million (25) and the operating margin was 11.4% (7.8).

The operating margin was 11.6%, excluding non-recurring costs.

Operating expenses were affected by non-recurring costs of approximately SEK 1 million, mainly related to the acquisition of Rehadapt Engineering. Excluding these costs, operating expenses increased organically by around 18 percent. The increase in operating expenses was affected by factors such as significant staff increases in the sales and marketing organization and new agreements on salaries and benefits that entered into force on April 1. Investments in systems and tools to manage a growing business also contributed to the cost increase.

Research and development expenses had a negative impact on operating profit of SEK 7 million for the quarter compared with the corresponding quarter last year, mainly related to normalization of development costs as well as higher depreciation costs because of new product launches. Investments relate to the development of own products, the majority of which involve software and voice technology.

Financial items amounted to SEK -8 million (-7) and mainly consisted of interest on external loans. Profit before tax was SEK 41 million (18).

Tax for the quarter amounted to SEK -6 (-2) million, of which SEK -1 (1) million related to deferred tax.

Profit for the period was SEK 35 million (16). Basic and diluted earnings per share were SEK 0.33 (0.15).

Currency effects

Higher exchange rates, primarily USD/SEK, had a positive impact on revenue of SEK 15 million and on operating profit of SEK 3 million compared with the corresponding quarter last year.

Cash flow, liquidity and financial position

Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital amounted to SEK 81 million (53). Change in working capital amounted to SEK -11 million (-27).

Cash flow from investing activities amounted to SEK -192 million (-34), of which SEK -156 million related to the acquisition of Rehadapt Engineering and SEK -21 million (-20) was capitalization of R&D costs. Cash flow for the period was SEK 25 million (-11).

During the quarter, an amortization of the credit facility of SEK 13 million was made.

At the end of the quarter, the Group had cash and cash equivalents of SEK 140 million (109). Consolidated net debt totaled SEK 663 million (565), including SEK 107 million (70) in IFRS 16 finance leases.

Note 9.Acquisition

On September 7, 2023, Tobii Dynavox completed the acquisition of all shares in the German company Rehadapt Engineering. After entering the agreement on 30 June 2023, the purchase price has been adjusted to EUR 16.6 million on a cash and debt free basis. The payment for the acquisition is made in two instalments. The first instalment, corresponding to 95% of the payment, has been made and the second instalment will be made within the coming quarter. Additionally, a potential earn-out consideration of up to EUR 3.5 million 12 months after closing of the transaction will be paid depending on the continued financial development of Rehadapt.

Rehadapt is a provider of medically certified mounting solutions for assistive technology, including out-of-the-box and flexible solutions to support individual communication, independent mobility kits and customized accessories. Based on over 20 years of expertise and innovative development, Rehadapt has created a well-respected brand and a valuable asset base in the field of mounting solutions. Rehadapt's products are currently sold together with Tobii Dynavox's products as well as by many other companies in assistive communication. Rehadapt has approximately 50 employees and is headquartered in Kassel, Germany with a local subsidiary and distribution center in the United States. Rehadapt's turnover in 2022 was approximately EUR 10 million with an adjusted EBIT margin of approximately 20%. The seller, Rehadapt's CEO Uli Ehlert, will remain with Rehadapt for a period of at least one year.

Rehadapt was included in the Group's accounts from September 1, 2023.

As a result of this acquisition, Tobii Dynavox expects to both strengthen its product offering and come closer to users in the countries where the acquisition is active, with the hope of giving more people a voice. Tobii Dynavox also expects to reduce costs through synergies.

The following table summarize the purchase consideration paid and the preliminary fair value of assets acquired, and liabilities assumed for the acquisition of Rehadapt Engineering.

AUDITOR'S REPORT

Tobii Dynavox AB (publ) corp. Reg. no. 556914-7563

INTRODUCTION

We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) of Tobii Dynavox AB as of 30 September 2023 and the nine-month period then ended. The board of directors and the CEO are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.

SCOPE OF REVIEW

We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410, Review of Interim Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing, ISA, and other generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

CONCLUSION

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, regarding the Group, and with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, regarding the Parent Company.
