The third quarter was a weak financial quarter with an organic revenue decline of 18%. The decline was primarily driven by our Products & Solutions business, which experienced a significant decrease of 25% in organic revenue after an exceptionally strong second quarter. The quarter presented particular difficulties in Asia, deviating from previous quarters where China led a significant part of the growth. We saw a more pronounced summer vacation period impact on revenue with July and August yielding the weakest results and September showing signs of recovery in China and North America.
On a positive note, our Integrations business delivered a decent financial performance despite receiving substantially lower revenue from Sony PS VR2 in the quarter. The revenue for the segment was down 2% organically year on year and would have demonstrated strong double-digit growth if we account for the Sony contribution in the corresponding quarter last year. This revenue development confirms the strong underlying business trends with increasing demand for eye tracking, generating project revenue in the XR space, especially in the US market. These early project revenues are typically precursors to design wins and future license revenue that will scale the Integrations business in the coming years.
Tobii is focused on bringing attention computing into mass market opportunities unlocking the technology's potential and empowering users worldwide. In the quarter, we took important steps to enable the broader adoption of attention computing in our Product & Solutions segment, specifically in consumer research. Consumer research has historically been a large part of our business, and the user experience (UX) research software market is expected to grow 20% annually through 2031 as brands rely on digital means to interact with their customers. By launching Tobii UX Explore, we are improving the accessibility and cost of attention computing tools enabling more powerful UX testing on smartphone applications. Tobii UX Explore is a cloud-based, simple-to-use SaaS platform that allows companies to conduct eye tracking research remotely using a smartphone's built-in camera.
The next phase in this journey is delivering a cloud-based analysis platform with Eyevido GmbH, which Tobii acquired in the quarter. The software tool will make it easier for companies to get actionable insights from their user experience research. By making it easier for companies to access the deep insights available from attention computing-powered tools, we aim to play a significant role in the UX research market.
We are still strongly committed to reach our EBIT profitability target in the fourth quarter 2023. In order to achieve this, we are taking measures to manage our cost base and improve our sales effectiveness. The weak third quarter does increase the risk towards the profitability target, but we are encouraged by a solid start of the fourth quarter.
From a longer-term perspective, we see clear signs of increased demand for attention computing. We believe that as eye tracking is integrated into mass volume devices like the Apple Vision Pro and Amazon's new Fire 11 tablet, demand for our technologies will increase across many other verticals. The increase in awareness and accessibility of our solutions will accelerate broad adoption and volume ramp and I believe Tobii is in a strong position to capitalize on this opportunity.

Products & Solutions Integrations
Revenue was SEK 150 million (176), corresponding to an organic decline of 18%.
Products & Solutions revenue was SEK 94 million (121), corresponding to an organic decline of 25%. Revenue contracted primarily due to decreased demand in the Asian region impacted by the summer vacation period.
Integrations revenue was SEK 56 million (55), corresponding to an organic decline of 2%. The revenue decline was related to substantially lower Sony PS VR2 license revenue compared with the corresponding quarter last year. Excluding Sony PS VR2 license revenue the organic growth in the Integrations segment was robust. The growth was primarily driven by a high project activity with other integration customers.
The gross margin was 75% (74%). The strengthened gross margin was an effect of a relatively larger share of revenue from the Integration segment of 37% (31%).
Products & Solution´s gross margin was 68% (68%). The lower revenue driving negative scale effect on gross margin was offset by a shift in product mix.
Integrations gross margin was 88% (90%). The gross margin remained on a high level, reflecting the general trend towards a more software, service and license-based product mix. The decrease was attributable to a lower revenue share related to Sony PS VR2 compared with the corresponding quarter last year.
Operational expenses increased to SEK 182 million (166) largely as a result of increased sales and marketing costs.
The operating result was SEK -69 million (-36) and the operating margin was -46% (-20%). Net financial items amounted to SEK -6 million (18) and included SEK 0 million (19) in
currency effects and SEK -6 million (0) of interest expenses primarily related to finance leases under IFRS 16 and interests due to temporary covid tax reliefs.

The net result for the quarter was SEK -74 million (-17) and diluted earnings per share was SEK -0.70 (-0.17).
Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital amounted to SEK -30 million (2). Change in working capital amounted to SEK 8 million (-25). The corresponding quarter last year working capital was negatively affected by a one-time repayment of SEK 37 million for COVID-related tax reliefs.
Investments in intangible, tangible, and financial fixed assets amounted to SEK 50 million (41), including SEK 49 million (41) in capitalization of R&D costs. Cash flow after continuous investments was SEK -71 million (-64). Acquisitions amounted to SEK 9 million (0).
Cash flow from financing activities amounted to SEK -7 million (-8), mainly related to installments of IFRS 16 Leases.
Revenue decreased to SEK 503 million (514), corresponding to an organic decline of 7%. Products & Solutions revenue was SEK 359 million (352), corresponding to an organic decline of 3%. The decline was related to a lower demand from enterprise customers.
Integrations revenue was SEK 144 million (162), corresponding to an organic decline of 15%. The revenue decline was related to lower Sony PS VR2 license revenue compared with the corresponding period last year.
The gross margin was 75% (75%).
Products & Solution´s gross margin was 69% (68%). The slightly strengthened gross margin reflected the shift in product mix.
Integrations gross margin was 90% (91%). The gross margin remained on a high level, reflecting the general trend towards a more software, service and license-based product mix. The slight decline was attributable to a lower revenue share related to Sony PS VR2 compared with the corresponding period last year.
Operational expenses increased to SEK 548 million (516) as an effect of increased R&D and sales and marketing costs.
The operating result was SEK -170 million (-131) and the operating margin was -34% (-26%).
Net financial items amounted to SEK 1 million (42) and included SEK 10 million (44) in currency effects and SEK -10 million (-3) of interest expenses primarily related to finance leases under IFRS 16 and interests due to temporary covid tax reliefs.

The net result for the period was SEK -170 million (-90) and diluted earnings per share was SEK -1.61 (-0.86).
Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital amounted to SEK -59 million (1). Change in working capital amounted to SEK 127 million (-55), of which SEK 63 (-37) million stemmed from a deferral of tax related to COVID-reliefs.
Investments in intangible, tangible, and financial fixed assets amounted to SEK 161 million (125), including SEK 150 million (127) in capitalization of R&D costs. Cash flow after continuous investments was SEK -93 million (-180). Acquisitions amounted to SEK 15 million (0).

Tobii's operations and revenue is characterized by variations between quarters.

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 134 of the 2022 annual report.
This section presents only the reconciliation of alternative performance measures that cannot be calculated from the information in financial reports in this interim report.

Tobii AB (publ) corp. reg. no. 556613-9654
We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) of Tobii AB (publ) 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.
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.
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.
