Message from the CEO

Vitec is financially strong with a stable and growing business

Continued strong growth is reported for the first quarter of the year as our total revenue increased by 37% to SEK 613 million compared with the same period last year. Our subscription-based recurring revenues grew organically by 12%, a slight increase even from the strong end of 2022. EBITA was SEK 185m, an increase of 42% and the margin was 30%, up from 29%. Despite higher interest rates and acquisition-related costs, our net profit increased by 25%.

Vitec is currently exposed to over 20 different verticals through our 37 business units. We have long-term relationships with our customers and by developing together with them we gain insight into their needs and market conditions. Although the start of the year was strong, we see that some of our business units are more affected than others by economic fluctuations and note some sluggishness in new sales, while others are performing very well. This is natural and we are historically used to this situation. Our business model, with a high proportion of recurring revenues and good risk diversification, gives us stability that is reinforced by the fact that our software is business-critical for our nearly 25,000 customers.

Something we have offered our customers for a long time and which we are seeing more and more of is transaction-based products as a complement to our standardized software. These provide added value to our customers and broaden our offer. Examples range from messaging services such as SMS, digital signatures, information services in the form of maps to commissions on payment services or other volume sold. Our latest acquisition, Dutch Enova, offers their energy management customers a virtual power plant based on the customers' flexible capacity to offer independent grid balancing services to the grid owner via daily auctions. These services generate added value for our customers when they are used and provide Vitec with revenues that are more transaction and volume-related in addition to our stable base of subscription revenues. We will therefore continue to disclose the proportion of our recurring revenues that are transaction-based.

Vitec is financially strong with a stable and growing business that focuses on delivering business-critical software. We are therefore well-positioned to continue on this path with a mix of organic and acquired profitable growth.

Olle Backman, CEO, Vitec Software Group

"Vitec is financially strong with a stable and growing business that focuses on delivering businesscritical software. We are therefore well-positioned to continue on this path."

Service revenues gained 67%, compared with the corresponding period in 2022. Recurring revenues accounted for 83% of net sales, compared with 85% for the corresponding period in 2022. During the year acquired companies contributed SEK 18.4 million in net sales.

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 is an ongoing convertible program 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.
