Comments from the CEO

Key focus on cost reduction and Autosense integration

We entered this quarter as a substantially larger organization given our acquisition of FotoNation/AutoSense. We have also been dealing with weaker demand in other parts of our business. Given this reality, our immediate focus has been to significantly reduce our costs to operate within the available cash resources. Therefore, we are executing an expanded cost reduction program. These measures involve focusing our product portfolio and refining our organizational structure, which enables us to reduce our overall staffing and operational expenses. We have also started to realize cost synergies from the integration of Autosense, and this process will continue through the rest of 2024 and 2025.

The current cost measures are projected to reduce cash-related operational expenses by approximately SEK 200 million over the next four quarters, compared to the baseline of the second quarter of 2024. These improvements have yet to be reflected in our financial performance but are anticipated to positively impact our cash-related operational expenses and operating result starting from the third quarter of 2024, with ongoing effects expected into 2025.

This was also the first full quarter operating the newly acquired FotoNation/AutoSense business. A successful integration is a key priority to ensure that Tobii becomes a leader in automotive interior sensing. We are making significant progress, including a joint comprehensive interior sensing roadmap, a harmonized approach to working with our customers and fostering a unified team with a shared culture.

Net sales growth but continued soft Products & Solutions

The expected net sales from the acquisition have materialized as anticipated in the second quarter, resulting in an overall growth of 8 percent. The organic business, excluding the acquisition, faced another challenging quarter, with net sales declining by 16 percent. EBIT for the quarter was SEK -66 million, which includes a one-off charge of SEK 10 million related to the cost reduction program.

Products & Solutions experienced an organic decline of 15 percent, driven primarily by ongoing softness in the Asian market. The segment's development should also be viewed in the context of the exceptionally strong corresponding quarter in 2023, which saw 31 percent growth.

As anticipated, the Integrations segment continues to experience quarterly variations. The quarter showed an organic decline of 16 percent, following a solid performance in the previous quarter. Including the impact of the acquisition, Integration's net sales increased by 52 percent. The segment delivered a positive EBIT result in the quarter, which we anticipate will continue going forward. Customer engagements in the XR space continued to be high this quarter, which is encouraging.

The Autosense segment delivered net sales as expected and we now have our interior sensing technology integrated into more than 500,000 vehicles on the road. We continue to see increased customer interest, securing a new DMS design win for commercial vehicles and expanded one existing OMS design win to a new OEM brand. This brings our total to nine OEM customers with design wins across more than 120 vehicle models.

Software launches strengthening our product portfolio

In the quarter, we launched three software solutions strengthening our product portfolio in line with our priorities. There has been a growing demand for Products & Solutions to provide simpler customer insight tools captured by wearable eye trackers. Our new cloud-based Glasses Explore enables faster insights for real life type of experiments like way finding and shopper studies. Products & Solutions also introduced Tobii UX Reveal, a cloud-based tool for e-commerce and digital services usability studies.

The Integrations segment launched Tobii Nexus, a software-only platform that enables eye tracking using standard webcams. This helps developers create smarter, more interactive devices and applications. With growing industry momentum for attention computing via standard webcams, Tobii Nexus allows customers to capitalize on this trend.

Expanded Autosense business and profitability outlook

Looking ahead, it is fundamental that we continue to successfully integrate our expanded Autosense business and realize our potential as a top player in the automotive interior sensing space. I'm pleased with the progress we made in the quarter and optimistic about realizing the cost and technology synergies that were pivotal in driving the acquisition.

With the comprehensive cost reduction measures implemented across Tobii, we are confident in delivering a significant EBIT improvement in 2024. We have also taken critical steps toward achieving our free cash flow and profitability targets and securing that we are operating within our existing cash resources.

Note 3. Business combinations

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

No divestments have occurred during the quarter.

ACQUISITIONS

Eyevido GmbH

On August 9, 2023, Tobii acquired all shares in Eyevido GmbH. Eyevido offers a cloud-based software used for conducting webbased user studies with eye tracking. The software will complement and strengthen the consumer insight offering to enterprise customers. The acquisition is expected to have an insignificant effect on Tobii´s short-term financial results and position. The purchase consideration for the acquired net assets was SEK 9 million. Eyevido GmbH was consolidated into Tobii Group as of August 9, 2023.

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 58 million to the Group's net sales, whereof SEK 15 million in the segment Autosense and SEK 43 million in the segment Integrations, and operating result of SEK -11 million. If the acquisition had been carried out on January 1, 2024, the contribution to the Group's net sales would have been SEK 90 million and to operating result SEK 8 million.

The costs of the acquisition amounted to SEK 31 million and were charged to earnings in 2023.

A preliminary purchase price allocation is presented on the next page.

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 write-downs 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.

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 719 (540) during the period January–June 2024. The increase was related to the acquisition of FotoNation/Auto-Sense.

ACQUISITION OF AUTOSENSE

On December 13, 2023, Tobii entered into an agreement to acquire all shares in FotoNation Ltd, including the AutoSense business. The transaction was closed on January 31, 2024. This strategic acquisition enhances Tobii's automotive interior sensing offering, including driver monitoring systems (DMS) and occupant monitoring systems (OMS). AutoSense has design wins with several OEMs across more than 100 models. AutoSense has around 250 full-time employees, predominantly based in Romania and Ireland, with the majority within engineering.

The near-term net sales and positive EBIT contribution stems largely from the image processing and computer vision technologies while the mid to long-term net sales and EBIT contribution will come from automotive interior sensing. It is expected that the net sales generated outside the automotive business will decline after 2024.

For more details on the consideration and transaction, please refer to the related press release, webcast, and accompanying slide deck available at corporate.tobii.com/investors

RIGHTS ISSUE

A rights issue of approximately SEK 301 million was executed in the end of March and completed on 3 April 2024. The outcome showed that the total subscriptions, both with and without subscription rights, corresponded to approximately 139 percent of the offered shares. As a result of the rights issue, Tobii received total net proceeds of SEK 267 million.

AGM 2024 AND CHANGES IN THE BOARD

The annual general meeting (AGM) in Tobii was held on May 23, 2024, at Tobii's head office, Karlsrovägen 2D, SE-182 53 Danderyd. The AGM re-elected Charlotta Falvin, Jörgen Lantto and Per Norman as members of the board of directors and John Elvesjö, Sarah Eccleston and Carl Mellander were elected as new members of the board.

For more information about the other resolutions passed, see the bulletin from the annual general meeting.

SHARE CAPITAL AND SHAREHOLDERS

Tobii has issued two classes of shares: ordinary shares and C shares. Ordinary shares carry one vote per share while C shares carry one vote per ten shares. The shares have a quotient value of SEK 0.007256934 per share. The sole purpose of the C-shares is to facilitate settlement of the company's long-term incentive programs. The C-shares are always included in the company's balance sheet and Tobii is not allowed to exercise the voting rights for these shares. Hence, in practice there is only one share class exercising its voting rights and available for trading in Tobii´s free float.

As a result of the resolution to issue class C-shares by the annual general meeting on May 23, 2024, as well as conversion of class Cshares to ordinary share, the number of Class C shares has increased with 714,951 and the number of ordinary shares has increased with 79,478. As of June 30, 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. The share capital has increased by approximately SEK 5,765 to SEK 1,716,793.11.

As of June 30, 2024, Tobii has 23,526 shareholders. The company's three largest shareholders were Öhman Fonder (6.05% capital and 6.13% votes), Mårten Skogö (6.04% capital and 6.11% votes) and Henrik Eskilsson (5.87% capital and 5.95% votes). For more information about Tobii's share and ownership structure, see https://corporate.tobii.com/investors/the-share.

FINANCIAL TARGETS AND DIVIDEND POLICY

On 1 February 2024, the board of directors adopted new financial targets for the Tobii group. Tobii is targeting:

  • Positive free cash flow for the full-year 2026
  • Operating margin (EBIT) of around 10% for the full-year 2026
  • Operating margin (EBIT) of around 20% for the full-year 2028

These new targets focusing on profitability replace the previous targets.

Tobii will continue to reinvest cash flows in growth initiatives and therefore in the near term does not foresee any annual dividends.

TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

No transactions have occurred between Tobii and related parties that have materially affected the Company's position and earnings.

Alternative performance measures

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 the next page.

Reconciliation of APMs

This section presents only the reconciliation of alternative performance measures that cannot be calculated from the information in financial reports in this interim report.
