Comments from the CEO

Looking back at 2021, I see a year of tremendous effort and solid achievement across the organization. Our business returned to healthy organic growth while we successfully executed the spin-off of Tobii Dynavox and integration of Tobii Pro and Tobii Tech. We end the year on a strong note and are confidently looking forward to an exciting 2022.

2021 — an intense and unpredictable year

2021 was an intense year for large parts of the organization. The see-saw effect of the coronavirus pandemic strained supply chains, impacting our customers' ability to ship products, and run studies. The global uncertainty and volatility forced us to implement dynamic ways of working, and I am proud of the dedication and successful delivery from the team. During all this, we also completed the spin-off of Tobii Dynavox and the integration of the remaining Tobii with business units Tobii Tech and Tobii Pro, which has laid the foundation for the new Tobii.

The new Tobii

The value created by the integration of Tobii Tech and Tobii Pro is already bearing fruit, and I am certain that we will continue to unlock untapped potential in the coming years. The new Tobii is a more focused company and a more clear-cut investment opportunity. It operates in the attention computing space and in highly attractive growth markets fueled by mega trends such as the metaverse, the attention economy, and the digitalization of education and healthcare.

Q4 2021 – healthy revenue growth and strong business progress

Recovery continued in most of our markets during the quarter. Our business delivered 10 % organic growth. Our Products and Solutions segment grew 2 % organically, reaching an all-time high, beating the pre-pandemic peak levels of Q4 2019, and our Integrations segment achieved an impressive 37 % organic growth. Gross profit rose 18% organically — raising our gross margin by a full 7 points to 77 %, driven by a mix shift toward licenses and software.

Our strategy to invest in technology leadership and market reach continued to yield results. Existing partnerships are deepening and new ones are forming, while our customer engagements are spanning ever larger parts of our markets. Examples announced in this quarter include our solutions integrated with Microsoft Flight Simulator, a partnership with the sensor vendor Omnivision for eye tracking systems in XR, and the development of a PC specialized for education purposes together with Intel and Tencent. Progress in this dimension is a key indicator of Tobii´s performance as it forms the central building blocks for long-term value creation and success.

The markets and ecosystems are developing in our favor

We are seeing stronger tailwinds in the markets and the ecosystems we operate in are moving in the right direction. I would like to specifically highlight the XR segment, which has experienced a marked increase in activity during 2021. I daresay, few have missed the hype around the metaverse. In its wake, we are experiencing unprecedented interest in our XR solutions, and our integration team is progressing deeply with multiple key accounts.

Direction ahead

The uncertainty caused by COVID-19 and its variants remain high, and supply chain challenges remain present. Despite these external factors, we are exiting the year on a strong note and have a lot of confidence in our ability to execute during 2022.

Tobii is now ready for a new phase, where increased market adoption and a step-up of our sales and marketing efforts will drive stronger than historical organic growth. Our business momentum is strong, and we are looking forward to delivering on our ambition to build a global powerhouse in attention computing.

PERCENTAGE OF REVENUE PER SEGMENT Q4, 2021

Products & Solutions Integrations

*In Q1 2021, Tobii changed presentation of costs related to revenue from non-recurring engineering, which affects gross margin and R&D expenses. For details see Other information on page 19.

OCTOBER-DECEMBER

REVENUE

Revenue increased to SEK 196 million (178), corresponding to organic growth of 10 %.

Product and Solutions increased to SEK 142 million (139), corresponding to organic growth of 2 %. The growth was driven by healthy demand for our scientific research solutions but held back by a challenging development within our solutions aimed at the professional training market, primarily in Asia. This is mostly a result of pandemic restrictions and customers´ supply chain issues within the automotive and semiconductor industry.

Integrations increased to SEK 54 million (39), corresponding to an organic growth of 37 %. Growth in license revenue and sales of integration development modules within XR and PC solutions were the main drivers.

RESULTS

The gross margin was 77 % (70% ).

Products and Solution´s gross margin was 78 % (76 %).

Integrations gross margin was 75 % (50 %).

The strong year-on-year performance is explained by a higher share of license and softwarerelated revenues primarily in the Integrations segment.

Operational expenses were affected by the Tobii Dynavox spin-off. Transactions between the companies resulted in approximately SEK 8 million one-time administrative expenses, and SEK 8 million one-time income in other operating income. In addition, temporary expenses related to mainly consultants, IT-spend, and year-end adjustments resulted in additional costs of around SEK 10m in the quarter. The remaining opex increase is split between a growing organization and overhead dyssynergies resulting from the split.

The operating result improved to SEK -31 million (-43) and the operating margin was -16 % (-24 %).

Net financial items amounted to SEK 3 million (-3) and includes SEK 8 million (-15) in currency translation effects on balance sheet items, SEK -5 million (-8) of interest expenses related to bond loans and finance leases under IFRS 16 as well as interest from intra-group loans to Tobii Dynavox, SEK 1 million (18).

Pretax profit was SEK -28 million (-46). Profit from discontinued operations was SEK 3,302 million (47), of which the majority is related to the recognition of Tobii Dynavox´s market value based on the share price on the closing of first day of trading. The net profit for the period was SEK 3,272 million (4) and diluted earnings per share reached SEK 30.16 (0.07).

CASH FLOW AND FINANCIAL POSITION

Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital amounted to SEK 11 million (4). Change in working capital amounted to SEK 51 million (-6).

Investments in intangible, tangible, and financial fixed assets amounted to SEK 39 million (23), including SEK 38 million (22) in capitalization of R&D costs. Free cash flow was SEK 23 million (37). The acquisition of Phasya impacted cash flow in the period with SEK -17 million and the impact of the divestment of Tobii Dynavox was SEK -154 million, relating to cash in the Dynavox companies at the time of the divestment.

Financing activities for the quarter included a directed share issue which raised a net of SEK 294 million and the redemption of the outstanding bond of SEK 450 million.

At the close of the period, Tobii had SEK 438 million (410) in cash. Consolidated net cash totaled SEK 344 million (net debt, 143), including SEK 77 million (89) in IFRS 16 finance leases.

JANUARY-DECEMBER

REVENUE

Revenue for the full year 2021 was SEK 616 million (578), corresponding to organic growth of 12 %, driven by our Products and Solutions business. The pandemic and global supply chain disruptions continued to have a dampening effect on sales.

Product and Solutions increased to SEK 455 million (405), corresponding to organic growth of 17 %. The growth was mainly driven by demand returning for our scientific research products. Integrations amounted to SEK 161 million (173), corresponding to an organic decline of 2 %, resulting from a mix-shift from Tobii Integration Platform IS5 to Tobii Aware/Tobii Horizon integrations, several delayed customer projects, and supply chain disruptions for some of our customers.

RESULTS

The gross margin was 72% (71%).

Products and Solution´s gross margin was 75% (77%).

Integrations gross margin was 63% (57%). The year-on-year increase was a result of a higher share of license and software-related revenues.

The operating loss was SEK -186 million (-230) and the operating margin was -30% (-40%). Net financial items amounted to SEK 6 million (-34) and includes SEK 21 million (-24) in currency translation effects on balance sheet items, SEK -29 million (-30) of interest expenses related to bond loans, and finance leases under IFRS 16 as well as interest from intra-group loans to Tobii Dynavox, SEK 13 million (19).

Pretax loss was SEK -181 million (-264). Profit from discontinued operations was SEK 3,330 million (131), of which the majority is related to the recognition of Tobii Dynavox´s market value at market close on the first day of trading. Net profit for the period was SEK 3,147 million (-134) and diluted earnings per share was SEK 29.87 (-1.36).

CASH FLOW AND FINANCIAL POSITION

Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital was SEK -34 million (- 115), while the change in working capital was SEK 11 million (76). Investments in intangible, tangible, and financial fixed assets increased to SEK 129 million (91), of which SEK 124 million (87) related to capitalization of R&D. Free cash flow was SEK --152 million (-130). The acquisition of Phasya impacted cash flow in the period with SEK -17 million and the impact of the divestment of Tobii Dynavox was SEK -154 million, relating to cash in the Dynavox companies at the time of the divestment.

Financing activities included a directed share issue which raised a net of SEK 294 million and the redemption of the outstanding bond of SEK 450 million.

At the close of the period, Tobii had SEK 438 million (410) in cash. Consolidated net cash totaled SEK 344 million (net debt, 143), including SEK 77 million (89) in IFRS 16 finance leases.

ORGANIZATION

The number of FTEs, excluding consultants, on average during the period was 500 (527).

*) On December 31, 2021, a total of 3.4 million warrants, stock options, and stock units were outstanding, which is a decrease of 0.5 million since the end of 2020.

During the year, 829,912 warrants and stock options have been redeemed, relating to the following programs: LTI 2014/24:1 (36,279), LTI 2018:1 (42,875), LTI 2018:2 (9,625), LTI 2017:1 (574,883), LTI 2017:2 (38,500), LTI 2019 (41,750) and LTI 2020 (86,000).

In addition, 258,964 warrants and stock options have expired, relating to the following programs: LTI 2016:2 (3,600), LTI 2017:1 (127,517), LTI 2017:2 (7,875), LTI 2018:1 (15,750), LTI 2018:2 (4,375), LTI 2019 (29,437), LTI 2019:1 (91,200), LTI 2020 (63,810) and LTI 2021 (6,600).

575,406 stock units have been allotted within the LTI 2020 program (29,350) and the new LTI 2021 program (546,056).

The dilution effect of warrants, stock options, and stock units in all the Company's incentive programs and maximum issuance under LTI 2020 and LTI 2021 corresponds to a maximum of approximately 3.5%.

Due to the distribution of Tobii Dynavox to Tobii's shareholders the incentive programs have been recalculated in January 2022 to reflect the new share price (in relation to the Tobii Dynavox share price). This resulted in an increase of the total number of instruments in the incentive programs. Due to the distribution, the LTI 2020 and LTI 2021 programs for Dynavox employees will also be terminated. Adjusted for this, the total number warrants, stock options, and stock units outstanding as of December 31, 2021 would have been 5.6 million and the potential dilution effect 5.4%.

CONDENSED PARENT COMPANY BALANCE SHEET

Notes

Not 1. Accounting policies

The Interim Report complies with the provisions of IAS 34, and the report for the Parent Company has been prepared pursuant to the provisions of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and RFR 2. In addition to the financial statements, disclosures under 34.16A also appear in other parts of the interim report. The accounting policies of the Parent Company and the Group, and the calculation principles used in the report, are unchanged from those used in the most recently published Annual Report, with the exception of the application of new standards. The IASB has published amendments to standards effective from January 1, 2021, or later. These amendments have not had a material impact on the financial statements.

In this report, sales to Tobii Dynavox have been regarded as sales to external parties and have not been eliminated. Profit for the period for Tobii Dynavox is recognized on a separate line in the consolidated income statement; Profit/loss from discontinued operations. Comparative periods have been restated accordingly. The cash flow statement includes a full cash flow statement for continuing operations and a total cash flow for discontinued operations. At December 31, 2021, only the continuing operations are included in the balance sheet. At December 31, 2020, both continuing and discontinued operations are included.

Not 2. Segments

Pursuant to the divestment of Tobii Dynavox and the organizational merger of Tobii Pro and Tobii Tech, Tobii's reporting structure has changed. Going forward Tobii will report two segments, Products and Solutions, and Integrations. For each segment will be reported revenue, gross profit and gross margin. Research and development, sales and marketing as well as central functions can now be leveraged across the whole company and will not be allocated to any segment.

PRODUCTS AND SOLUTIONS

The segment comprises hardware products, software products and services and the customers include both B2B customers and consumers. Hardware products consist of a suite of eye tracking products including the flagship eye tracking glasses Tobii Pro Glasses 3, research-grade screen-based eye trackers such as Pro Spectrum and Pro Fusion as well as the consumer gaming device Tobii Eye Tracker 5. In addition, the segment also includes the software Tobii Pro Lab, Sticky and the consultancy service Tobii Pro Insight.

INTEGRATIONS

This segment comprises integration of Tobii solutions into customer's products, and it includes both software and hardware components. These integrations are deployed in a range of devices from gaming laptops and medical assessment tolls to virtual reality headsets. The business within this segment is still relatively young with innovative customers with products in very different stages of development.

Not 3. Business combinations

ACQUISITIONS

On August 9, 2021, Tobii acquired all shares in Phasya SA, a private company registered in Liège, Belgium. Phasya's technology and long experience within development and validation of algorithms to assess cognitive states is highly complementary to Tobii´s expertise and eye tracking technology. This will enhance Tobii's Driver Monitoring System, Tobii DMS. It also opens new opportunities for using cognitive state information in several markets, such as VR, AR, scientific research, and gaming, providing substantial synergies. The company currently collaborates with numerous customers within automotive, technology, and aviation, as well as with leading industry associations providing key relationships for Tobii and Phasya to build on.

Phasya is in its early pre-revenue commercialization phase. By leveraging its resources and capabilities, Tobii will be able to accelerate the commercialization of Phasya's offering. Tobii expects the business to scale rapidly, driven by integrations of the algorithms in Tobii´s existing solutions as well as in new applications, and with the mass market adoption for automotive DMS expected in 2024/25.

The purchase price for the company is shown in the table below. The acquisition analysis is preliminary pending final valuation of the acquired assets and liabilities.

The total consideration for the acquired net assets amounted to EUR 3.6 million. A cash payment of EUR 1.9 million was paid at acquisition date. The agreed upon contingent consideration relates to performance over the coming five years. The maximum contingent consideration amounts to EUR 1.7 million. Tobii's management assesses that the fair value of the contingent consideration is EUR 1.7 million.

Goodwill of SEK 34 million is reported and refers to the future potential of the company's technology and products.

Revenues from the Phasya business during the period from acquisition up to and including December 31, 2021, amounted to SEK 0 million and operating profit for the same period was SEK -2 million. If the acquisition had taken place on January 1, 2021, the company would have contributed revenue of SEK 2 million and operating profit of SEK -3 million for the twelve-month period.

Transaction costs incurred for the acquisition amounted to approximately SEK 1 million and are included in administrative expenses in the consolidated income statement.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On October 25, 2021 an Extraordinary General Meeting approved the distribution of Tobii Dynavox AB to Tobii AB's shareholders. The distribution was completed during December and the shares of Tobii Dynavox AB were listed on Nasdaq Stockholm on December 9, 2021. The gain from the distribution was calculated as the difference between the carrying amount of the assets distributed and the fair value of the dividend, corresponding to the market value of Tobii Dynavox AB at listing.

All related effects are referred to as Discontinued operations in the report. The financial information presented below consists of Tobii Dynavox's contribution to the Tobii Group consolidated financial information.

Tobii classifies financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in a fair-value hierarchy based on the information used in the valuation of each asset or liability. For financial instruments in level 3, information that is material to the fair value of the asset or liability is not observable and Tobii's own assessments are applied. Both interest-bearing loans and contingent considerations are classified under level 3.

All operations related to Smartbox, which was acquired in 2018, were divested during the fourth quarter of 2020. Receivables for contingent consideration relate in their entirety to the sale of Smartbox.

DEFINITIONS OF ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE MEASURES (APM) NOT DEFINED BY IFRS

Alternative Performance Measures (APMs) are financial measures of financial performance, financial position, or cash flows, other than those defined in the applicable financial reporting framework (IFRS). These are considered to be important supplemental measures of the company's performance. These measures may not be comparable to measures used by other companies, since not all companies calculate financial measures in the same way. The key ratios and alternative performance measures that Tobii uses are defined on page 120 of the 2020 annual report, together with additions below.

Cashflow after continuous investments has been renamed Free cashflow.

In 2020, Tobii introduced the new growth measure organic growth, defined as change in revenue adjusted for change due to currency

CHANGED PRESENTATION OF COST OF SERVICES

Previously, non-recurring revenue has been charged with cost of services sold on a flat-rate basis. From Q1 2021, the reporting has been changed, to enhance consistency. The change has no effect on operating profit, but results in a higher gross profit and higher R&D costs.

and, where applicable, structural changes. At group level, structural changes are defined as acquisitions or disposals of businesses, and at the segment level, it may also include structural changes between segments. Phasya SA was acquired in the current period, however the acquisition has no effect on structural change. No structural change occurred in comparative periods.
