Comments from the CEO
We closed the year with progress on our 2024 objectives: making strides toward profitability and largely completing the integration of Autosense. In the fourth quarter, Tobii delivered SEK 50 million in EBIT, with both the Products & Solutions and Integrations segments achieving profitability.
Cost reduction program on track
Our financial performance in the fourth quarter confirms the sustained positive effect of the cost reduction program, launched in the second quarter. We have implemented measures that will reduce our workforce by approximately 300 employees and consultants compared to the peak of around 900 in the first quarter of 2024. These steps are crucial for our ongoing success, driven by synergies from the acquisition, adjustments to our cost structure, and other strategic initiatives.
We are on a solid track to meet our guidance to reduce cash-related operational expenses by more than SEK 200 million in the 12 months following the baseline set in the second quarter of 2024. By adding the third and fourth quarters, we have reduced our cash-related cost base by approximately SEK 73 million already. We expect to deliver the rest of the savings in the first half of 2025.
Net sales improvement but weak organic performance
Net sales grew by 11 percent in the quarter. With slow overall demand, we continued to see disappointing organic sales performance in both the Products & Solutions and Integrations segments during the quarter. However, the Autosense segment's sales reached the upper level of the previously communicated range for the full year. As previously communicated, our Integrations segment net sales include certain imaging-related sales from the acquisition, which will decline in 2025.
Overall, we delivered a positive EBIT result in the quarter and an improved EBIT for the full year. Both our Product & Solutions and Integration segments contributed with a positive EBIT in the quarter.
Autosense integration and new design wins
The integration of Autosense continued successfully in the quarter, with steady progress and important milestones achieved in our ongoing OEM programs with a premium German automaker and Tier 1 partners. We are also encouraged by securing two new DMS design wins with a Japan-based global automotive Tier 1 supplier during the quarter. One of these is already in production, while the other will start production in 2026. Additionally, we expanded an existing design win with the same partner. These design wins underscore our proven ability to meet and exceed the stringent requirements of the world's leading Tier 1 suppliers. By year-end, over 600,000 vehicles on the road use Tobii's interior sensing solutions, and the client list now includes 12 OEM brands with over 150 vehicle models.
Improved profitability in 2025
We are pleased to have delivered an improved EBIT result for the full year of 2024, in line with our guidance. We will continue to implement additional cost reduction measures throughout 2025. Furthermore, following a strategic review of our product portfolio, we are engaged to divest certain product areas to improve our cash position. We expect these initiatives and progress to create a more streamlined and focused company with predictable profitability.

Note 3. Business combinations
ACQUISITIONS
FotoNation Ltd
On January 31, 2024, Tobii acquired all shares in FotoNation Ltd, including AutoSense business. This strategic acquisition strengthens Tobii's Interior Sensing offerings, including Driver Monitoring System (DMS) and Occupant Monitoring System (OMS).
The consideration for 100 percent of the shares in FotoNation Ltd amounts to a minimum of USD 45 million on a cash- and debt-free basis, of which approximately USD 30 million will be structured as a promissory note at 8% interest. The promissory note and interest are paid in three annual installments starting in 2027. A future payment of USD 15 million will be paid in four annual installments starting in 2028. There will thus be no upfront cash or share consideration.
Additional earnouts, estimated to be approximately USD 19 million at the time of closing, may be generated by the Autosense segment upon meeting specific volume targets, with payouts scheduled for 2031. This estimation will be continuously assessed and adjusted over time for accuracy.
FotoNation Ltd was consolidated into Tobii Group as of February 1, 2024.
Goodwill consists of the market position as one of the leaders in Automotive Interior Sensing with the potential of future revenue streams in multiple geographies. Goodwill is also attributable to the skills that many competent employees in new attractive markets bring, and scalability regarding both engineering and overhead resources with opportunities for synergies.
Since the acquisition, the company has contributed SEK 211 million to the Group's net sales, whereof SEK 50 million in the segment Autosense and SEK 161 million in the segment Integrations, and operating result of SEK 70 million. If the acquisition had been carried out on January 1, 2024, the contribution to the Group's net sales would have been SEK 242 million and to operating result SEK 88 million.
The costs of the acquisition amounted to SEK 26 million. A preliminary purchase price allocation is presented below.

Other information
RISKS AND UNCERTAINTY FACTORS
Tobii's business risks include the economic climate, the competitive situation, currency risks, credit risks in relation to customers, financing risks, the risk of impairment of capitalized R&D and other intangible assets, and regulatory risks. Tobii's risks and risk management are described in greater detail in the risk section on pages 40-44 and note 3 on page 68 in the 2023 Annual and Sustainability Report. Tobii is of the opinion that this risk description remains correct.
Additionally, Tobii's Board of Directors and Management have identified an increased risk related to financing of the company's operations due to lower net sales. To address this, Tobii is closely monitoring its cash situation and has implemented a cost reduction program to lower operational expenses. Furthermore, following a strategic review of its product portfolio, the company is in the process of divesting certain assets to strengthen its cash position.
SEASONALITY
Tobii's operations and net sales is characterized by variations between quarters. The seasonal patterns are different for the segments Product & Solutions and Integrations and there are also regional variations. The fourth quarter is normally the strongest quarter in terms of net sales and profits as the budget year closes in most of Tobii's geographic markets.
ORGANIZATION
The average number of full-time employees (FTEs), excluding consultants, was 666 (541) during the period January–December 2024. The increase was related to the acquisition of FotoNation/ AutoSense.
EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING 10 JANUARY 2025
An Extraordinary General Meeting was held on January 10, 2025, where it was resolved, in accordance with the nomination committee's proposal, to set the number of board members at five, without deputies. Henrik Eskilsson was elected as a new board member, while Sarah Eccleston and Jörgen Lantto left their assignments.
The meeting also resolved to implement share investment programs for all employees and board members, authorizing the board to issue and repurchase C-shares and transfer or sell ordinary shares to secure the programs.
CHANGES IN BOARD AND GROUP MANAGEMENT
Following the Extraordinary General Meeting on January 10, 2025, Tobii's Board of Directors consists of Per Norman (Chairman), Charlotta Falvin, Carl Mellander, Henrik Eskilsson, John Elvesjö, and Pontus Walck, who has been appointed as an employee representative by Sveriges Ingenjörer (The Swedish Association of Graduate Engineers).

SHARE CAPITAL AND SHAREHOLDERS
Tobii has issued two types of shares: ordinary shares and C-shares. Each ordinary share entitles the holder to one vote at the General Meeting, while each C-share entitles the holder to one vote per ten shares.
The shares have a nominal value of 0.007256934 SEK per share. The sole purpose of the C-shares is to facilitate the settlement of Tobii's long-term incentive program. C-shares are always included in Tobii's balance sheet, and the company is not allowed to exercise voting rights for these shares. Therefore, only ordinary shares exercise their voting rights and are available for trading.
As of December 31, 2024, the total number of shares in the company amounts to 236,572,792, divided into 233,680,462 ordinary shares and 2,892,330 class C shares. The total number of votes in the company amounts to 233,969,695.

FINANCIAL TARGETS AND DIVIDEND POLICY
On February 1, 2024, the Board of Directors adopted new financial targets for the Tobii group. Tobii is targeting:

- Operating margin (EBIT) of around 10% for the full-year 2026
- Operating margin (EBIT) of around 20% for the full-year 2028
