Strong focus gives growth and increased margins

Vitec's business concept is to contribute to the success of our customers by developing and providing standardized and niche business-critical software. Rarely has it been more relevant than in these times to maintain full focus on our mission and our core competencies. Focus is something that we at Vitec both appreciate and aim to achieve.

The year began with continued restrictions and spread of infection, Russia's war against Ukraine and subsequent geopolitical tensions, the energy crisis, increased inflation and higher interest rates. The year 2022 will undeniably go down in history with gloomy headlines. Yet even under these circumstances, Vitec successfully delivered growth and increased margins – clearly an effect of its strong focus. Our business units are active in niche markets that are often critical for society and our software is critical for business. This makes us an important partner with considerable industry knowledge. Based on this knowledge and by applying a high degree of innovation, we have developed new products and increased functionality. It has strongly contributed to our growth and makes us even more relevant for the future.

During the year, we welcomed five new acquisitions and over 300 new employees. Through these acquisitions, we further expand our business into new verticals and geographies. This expansion equips us with new knowledge to solve the challenges of our customers in more industries, something we share internally. It also provides the Group with increased risk diversification, volume and brand awareness on the market.

Financially, the full year adds up to revenues of SEK 1,978 million, an increase of 26% with an EBITA margin of 29% compared with 28% the previous year. The year ended on a strong note as revenue for the fourth quarter jumped an impressive 37% year over year and the EBITA margin was 30%, compared with 27% the previous year. This growth and the strengthening of margins are the product of both strong organic growth of 11% and acquisitions of excellent vertical software companies. We have also responsibly balanced cost increases with price adjustments. The Group's financial position is strong as a result of our internally generated cash flow and the share issue in November. This provides us with decisiveness to act under conditions that are conducive to further acquisitions. The Board of Directors is proposing an increased dividend for the twenty-first consecutive year, to SEK 2.28 per share.

We have intensified our efforts to clarify and highlight sustainability in our daily work over the course of the year. In response, the Board has adopted updated sustainability targets for the Group linked to our four focus areas.

I would like to take the opportunity to thank all employees who with deep knowledge and great commitment, continue to deliver long-term values.

In early January 2023 we received the sad news that Crister Stjernfelt, who served for many years as Board member and former Chairman of the Board, passed away, at the age of 79. Crister was an appreciated member of the Board of Directors and a friend. The Board of Directors and the management are grateful for his dedication and the time we spent together. Our thoughts are with Crister's family.

Sales broken down by business unit and customer

Since we operate in a number of niche markets and countries, we have good diversification of revenue in terms of both geography and area of operation. Although we operate in several niche markets, we still engage in essentially the same business. We develop and deliver standardized software to meet the various needs of our customers. Some of our software products comprise complete enterprise systems, while

others provide support for specific aspects of our customers' operations. We serve a large number of customers with our products. No individual customer accounts for more than 1.4% of the Group's total revenues. As we continue to acquire profitable vertical software companies, we expect the distribution of risk to continue in a positive direction.

BREAKDOWN OF SALES

Our sales are evenly spread across our 36 business units. No individual business unit accounts for more than 12% of consolidated sales.

CUSTOMERS

We have about 24,600 customers. The Group's ten largest customers account for approximately 8% of sales. The single largest customer accounts for approximately 1.4% of sales.

Our business units

We conduct our operations through our 36 independent business units. They can be found at the heart of a variety of businesses and activities, including pharmacies, banks, car

The convertible loans consist in part of convertible debentures subscribed for in conjunction with acquisitions, and in part of employee convertibles that were approved at the recent Annual General Meetings.

A new convertible loan for employees was signed at the beginning of June, totaling SEK 6.5 million. During the year, convertible loans 2006 and 2001 were converted to Class B shares, which reduced financial liabilities by SEK 7.6 million and SEK 10.8 million, respectively.

The total supplementary purchase consideration as of December 31 was SEK 431.2 million, including a long-term component of SEK 189.5 million and a short-term component of SEK 241.7 million.

The previously expensed supplementary purchase consideration for ALMA Consulting Oy was adjusted downward by SEK 3.4 million. Pursuant to IFRS 3:58, the adjustment was recognized as other operating revenues, while an amortization of intangible assets was recognized simultaneously.

Equity attributable to Vitec's shareholders totaled SEK 3,209.8 million (1989.1). The equity/assets ratio is 51% (53).

Based on the authorization granted to the Board of Directors by the Annual General Meeting on April 26, 2022, Vitec resolved on a directed issue of 2,200,000 Class B shares at a price of SEK 379 per share. The Company's share capital increased from SEK 3.5 million to SEK 3.7 million. The share issue entails a dilutive effect of about 5.9 % and 3.4 % in relation to the total number of outstanding shares and votes, respectively, after the share issue.

During the year, two convertible loans were converted to Class B shares. As a result of the conversion, the number of Class B shares in Vitec increased by 82,376 and share capital increased by SEK 8,238. The number of votes in Vitec Software Group AB (publ) changed as a result of the conversion of Class A shares to Class B shares. Following reclassification, the total number of registered and outstanding shares in the company amounts to 37,328,539, divided into 2,650,000 Class A shares and 34,678,539 Class B shares.

Acquisitions during the period

ACQUISITIONS

During the period five acquisitions were completed: DocuBizz ApS, Hotellinx System Oy, Scanrate Financial Systems A/S, ABS Laundry Business Solutions and Oy Raisoft Ltd. From the acquisition date up to and including December 31, revenues in the acquired companies totaled SEK 203.5 million in sales and SEK 71.6 million in profit before tax. If consolidation had occurred at the beginning of the year, the companies would have provided the Group with roughly an additional SEK 229.6 million in sales and SEK 82.5 million in profit before tax. The acquisition-related costs are recognized in operating profit and total SEK 37.6 million. The operating profit also includes SEK 2.6 million in acquisition-related costs related to acquisitions from previous years.

Acquisition DocuBizz ApS

On January 21, Vitec acquired all shares in the Danish software company DocuBizz ApS. The company reported sales of SEK 27 million, with an EBITDA of SEK 6 million for the 2021 financial year.

DocuBizz develops and provides a SaaS solution that digitizes and automates management of all types of supplier invoices for companies. The software matches invoices with purchase orders, presents history and more, and the invoice is sent via the system to the right person for approval. The software also supports automatic accounting in the customer's business system. The company's approximately 350 customers are mainly in the automotive industry in Scandinavia, Germany, and the US. Vitec welcomes 12 new employees as part of the acquisition.

Payment was in cash and with a convertible, with deviation from shareholders' preferential rights in accordance with the authorization from the Annual General Meeting on April 28, 2021. The convertible matures in 36 months and at full conversion will have a dilutive effect on capital of 0.02%.

Significant events after the period

BOARD MEMBER CRISTER STJERNFELT PASSED AWAY

In early January 2023 it was announced with great sorrow that Vitec Software Group's Board member Crister Stjernfelt had passed away, at the age of 79.

Crister was a member of the Board of Directors of Vitec Software Group (publ) since 2008 and served as chairman from

2013 to 2021. Crister will not be replaced during the period until the next Annual General Meeting on April 25. Crister was an appreciated member of the Board of Directors and a friend. The Board of Directors and the management are grateful for his dedication and the time we spent together. Our thoughts are with Crister's family.

Risks and uncertainties

Material risks and uncertainties are described in the administration report of the 2021 Annual Report under "Risks and uncertainties" on pages 64-69, in Note 1, under the section, Assessments and estimates on pages 98, and in Note 11 "Financial risks and the management of such risks" on pages 133-134.

On 24 February, 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine. The war entails great suffering for the millions of people affected and influences the geopolitical situation. It is difficult to assess the consequences for the global economy because of the uncertainty of the situation. In terms of business, Vitec is affected only to a limited degree in the short term, but naturally we are closely monitoring developments and initiatives will be taken to support those affected.

Parent Company

Net sales totaled SEK 141.6 million (130.0) and essentially comprised invoicing to subsidiaries for services rendered. Profit after tax was SEK 278.7 million (183.9). Parent Company earnings were charged with unrealized foreign-exchange

losses totaling SEK -43.8 million (-16.6). The Parent Company is generally exposed to the same risks and uncertainties as the Group; refer to the above section, Risks and uncertainties.

Related-party transactions

No significant transactions with related parties occurred in the Group or Parent Company during the period.

Accounting and measurement policies

This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU, and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The Parent Company's accounts were prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and recommendation RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities. No new or amended standards entered into force as of 2022 that are expected to affect the Group's accounts.

OPERATING SEGMENTS

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker of the Company. In the Vitec Group, the CEO and President has been identified as chief executive decision-maker who evaluates the Group's financial position and performance and makes decisions on resource allocation. The operating segments form the operational structure for internal governance, follow-ups, and reporting. The CEO analyzes and monitors the sales and earnings of the operation based on the total consolidated operations. The assessment is thus that the Group's operations consist of one segment.

INCENTIVE PROGRAM

There are ongoing convertible programs aimed at all personnel in the form of convertible debentures. The shares were issued on market terms. Consequently, there are no benefits that can be recognized as share-based remuneration.

Three warrant incentive programs are also underway, in the form of warrants, aimed at around 45 people. The shares were issued on market terms. The fair value of options granted is calculated using a modified version of the Black-Scholes valuation model. The value of the option premiums is recognized as share-based remuneration pursuant to IFRS 2.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Classification and measurement

Financial instruments are recognized initially at cost corresponding to the instrument's fair value plus transaction costs. A financial instrument is classified at initial recognition based on, among other factors, the purpose for which the instrument was acquired. Vitec has financial instruments under the categories loans and accounts receivable, financial assets at fair value, financial liabilities at fair value and financial liabilities at amortized cost.

Financial liabilities measured at fair value

In accordance with IFRS 7, the fair value of each financial asset and financial liability must be disclosed, regardless of whether they are recognized in the balance sheet. Vitec deems the fair value of the financial assets/liabilities to be close to the recognized carrying amount.

All of the company's financial instruments that are subject to measurement at fair value are classified as level 3 and pertain to securities held as fixed assets, as well as contingent considerations in conjunction with acquisitions.

PRELIMINARY ACQUISITION CALCULATIONS ABS LAUNDRY BUSINESS SOLUTIONS

On July 6, 100% of shares in the software group ABS Laundry Business Solutions were acquired. Some items in the acquisition plan may be remeasured, due to our brief ownership of the company. This applies to all assets and liabilities in the acquisition balance, but mainly brands, product rights, customer agreements and goodwill. For this reason, the acquisition plan remains preliminary, until 12 months after the acquisition date.

During the fourth quarter, the acquisition balance has been updated. Current receivables have decreased by SEK 4,736 thousands and other current liabilities have increased by SEK 6,294 thousands, which have been carried against goodwill.
