CEO's comments
Recurring revenues increase by 16% during the quarter and net sales increase by 34%. The result is slightly lower than the same quarter last year due to higher amortization than capitalized development. Adjusted for capitalized development and amortization the quarter's earnings are just over 20% better than last year. The cash flow is also much stronger, over 60 % better than last year.
MV-Nordic A / S, which is part of the Group throughout the quarter, has a turnover of approximately 142 MSEK annually with a much higher cost of goods than the Group in general. Consequently, the gross margin in percent is lower than in the rest of the Group. The operating margin for the entire Group will therefore be lower even though earnings are higher. MV-Nordic also had significant hardware deliveries during the quarter, which further affects operating margin and the share of recurring revenues negatively.
Amortization also affects us more in the third quarter due to unchanged linear amortization but reduced capitalized development in the holiday period. Before 2017, Vitec has applied an amortization period of 5 years for capitalized development costs. Amortization periods were changed at the turn of the year from 5 to 10 years but this only applies to development performed from 2017, previous capitalized development is still amortized for 5 years. Software neither roasts nor flags and based on our experience software has long-term durability. Studies of both our own software and major global software companies points to lifetimes of 15, 20, 25 years and more. An amortization period of ten years is
therefore still short, but more in line with actual conditions. A better balance in the accounting between amortization rate and capitalized development costs is lagging, but will be visible within a three-year period. This will also clarify our investment strategy to carry out continuous product development in order to maintain and improve our earnings ability.
On 6 July, Vitec acquired the Danish software company MV-Nordic A / S. The company offers software for the education sector in Denmark, Norway and Sweden. The main product is a cloud-based software for people with read/write disorders. MV-Nordic has annual sales of approximately 142 MSEK with an EBITDA of approximately 14 MSEK. Payment was in cash and a convertible bond with 3 years durability, at full conversion the convertible bond dilutes the capital by 0.8%. We completed the consolidation in the third quarter and the company is included in the segment "Education & Health".
The number of active acquisition dialogues is still at a high level and we continue to allocate resources in orders to maintain and further develop these dialogues Vitec's financial position is good and we are well prepared for future acquisitions, this provides good conditions for continued acquisition-based growth. With the acquisition of well-established companies and a high proportion of recurring revenues, Vitec continues on the path to act in several independent and specialized niches to achieve sustainable profitable growth.
Lars Stenlund, CEO
January-September 2017
During the period, both sales and operating income have increased. Revenue increased 25%, which is a few percentage points more than profit growth when summarizing the first three quarters. Early in the third quarter, Vitec acquired the software company MV-Nordic A/S. The company will operate as Vitec MV in the Business Area Education & Health. Vitec MV is the leading supplier for people with reading and writing difficulties in Denmark, Norway and Sweden. The underlying business in all our business areas is stable, manifested by a continued strong cash flow. The result for the third quarter was affected with non-recurring costs in business areas Real Estate, Auto and Health.
Business Area Auto
Business Area Auto reports increased profits and sales compared with the same period in 2016. In Denmark, a political decision to reduce registration fees has dramatically affected car sales in the third quarter. Those who are in a position to buy a new a car have awaited a final decision; the market almost came to a full stop in September. This has mainly affected our consultancy revenues. In Norway, we have adjusted the organization, which is affecting the third quarter results in a negative way, but already reduces cost from the fourth quarter. Recurring revenue has increased by 47% during the period.
Business Area Energy
Business Area Energy reports reduced sales and operating income compared to the same period in 2016. Energy continues towards an increasing share of recurring revenues moving from 71% to 76% during the period.
Business Area Real Estate
Business Area Real Estate reports higher sales with a stronger result compared to the same period in 2016. The shift towards more recurring revenue and cloud-based deliveries continues and evolves faster than expected. We have a strong demand for our new products and the business area continues to have a large number of ongoing rollouts. Recurring revenue has increased by 24% during the period.
Business Area Finance & Insurance
Business Area Finance & Insurance reports increased sales and a stronger operating profit compared to the same period in 2016. In Denmark, our additional module for MiFID II continues to create new business. Vitec offers a standard MiFID II module, which means that our customers do not have to develop their own unique solutions. In Sweden, we continue to invest in our new products for corporate loans and wealth planning. In Norway, we have lost a major customer, which has affected the third quarter. Recurring revenue has increased by 5% during the period.
Business Area Education & Health
From the third quarter of 2017, Vitec MV is included in the Group. We have also renamed the business area to Education & Health. The business area increases sales and operating profit significantly compared to the same period in 2016. Vitec MV continues to strengthen its mobile product suite and service as a cloud-based software on Mac/PC/iOS and Android. Health in Finland continues to increase recurring revenue. We now have an increased bandwidth to process our pipeline of outstanding requests, this as a positive effect when the large installations were closed during the second quarter. The completion of the large installations has charged non-recurring costs in the third quarter of 2017. Recurring revenue has increased by 33% during the period.
Business Area Environment
Business Area Environment, which were added through the acquisition of Tietomitta OY during the second half of 2016, lacks comparative figures for the period. However, we can compare the third quarter of 2017 with the same period in 2016, and in that comparison we reach a higher turnover with slightly lower earnings. The recurring revenues share of sales is 74% (73).
Business Area Estate Agents
Business Area Estate Agents reports lower earnings and sales compared to the same period in 2016. The third quarter result is affected by a CEO's swap in Sweden and a changed sales organization in Norway. In Sweden, we already have a new CEO in place and in Norway, the new sales organization is already up and running. The underlying profitability is in line with our expectations and the effect of the organizational change we have implemented will result in cost reductions from the fourth quarter. To our delight, some of the customers who left us for another supplier have chosen to return to Vitec. Recurring revenue has decreased by 9% during the period.

Financial instruments
Classification and valuation
Financial instruments are initially recognized at their acquisition value corresponding to the instrument´s fair value plus transaction costs. A financial instrument is classified when recognized for the first time, including on the basis of the purpose for which the instrument was acquired. Vitec has financial instrument in the categories loans receivable and accounts receivable, financial liabilities valued at fair value, and financial liabilities valued at their accrued acquisition value.
Financial liabilities valued at fair value
According to IFRS 7, information must be provided about the fair value of each financial asset and financial liability, irrespective of whether they are reported in the balance sheet or not. Vitec judges that the fair value of the financial assets/liabilities is close to the reported book value.
All of the company´s financial instruments that are subject to valuation at fair value are classified at level 3. The change for the period in respect of financial instruments at level 3 refers primarily to additional purchase prices for acquisitions. Conditional purchase prices are valued at fair value base on available data, such as contractual terms, as well as relevant assessments in respect of anticipated fulfillment of conditions. When calculating fair value, an assumed interest rate of 0,9% has been used. As the difference between fair value and book value is marginal, no correction has taken place.
The conditional additional purchase price for Fox Publish AS is subject to separate events within a maximum period of 42 months after the acquisition date as of March 2, 2015. The conditional additional purchase price for Futursoft OY is dependent on EBITDA 201610-201709.
The following table shows the difference between fair value and booked value.
| Recurring valuations at fair value, as at 30 September 2017 | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | level 2 | Level 3 | Book value | |||
| Additional purchase price Fox Publish AS | 2 653 | 2 653 | ||||
| Additional purchase price Futursoft OY | 23 917 | 23 917 | ||||
| Total | 26 570 | 26 570 |
For all other financial assets and liabilities, booked value is consistent with fair value.
Acquisitions
Acquisition of MV-Nordic A/S
On July 6, all shares and votes were acquired in the Danish software Group MV-Nordic A/S. The Group offers software for the education sector in Denmark, Norway and Sweden. The main product is a cloud-based service for people with read/write disorders.
The Group is consolidated as from the acquisition date. The goodwill is not tax-deductible and is deemed to be attributable to the expected profitability, complementary expertise as well as anticipated synergies in the form of the joint development of our products. The acquisition-related costs amounted on September 30 to SEK 3,9 million, and are recognized as other external cost in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. From the acquisition date up to and including the 30 September, the revenues of the acquired Group amount to SEK 41,8 Million and income before tax to SEK 1,9 million. Due to other accounting principles and the split fiscal year, information regarding income and earnings from the beginning of the year are not accurate.
There are items in the purchase price allocation that may be revalued since the MV-Group has been in our possession for a short period of time. These items are inventories, brands, product rights, customer agreements and goodwill. For that reason the purchase price allocation in preliminary until twelve months have passed since the acquisition date.
