XMReality Interim report, Group overview, April – June 2022

The Quarter April – June 2022, The Group

• Net sales amounted to SEK 4,616 thousand (5,565)
• Costs totaled SEK -18,431 thousand (-13,909)
• The operating loss before appropriations and taxes was SEK -9,395 thousand (7,749)
• Cash flow was SEK -12,349 thousand (-6,206) and the equity/assets ratio at the end of the period was 60.6 (80.0) percent

Net sales decreased with 17 percent to SEK 4,616 thousand (5,565). The Annual Recurring Revenues (ARR) increased with 3 percent to SEK 18,045 thousand (17,555). The absolute majority of the revenues were recurring software subscriptions. The Gross margin continued to be high at 95 (90) percent for the quarter.  The Order backlog, Order intake that at the end of the period remains to be recognized as Net sales, decreased 12 percent to SEK 13,293 thousand (15,136). The increase in cost mainly comes from forward looking additional sales resources in our wholly owned U.S. subsidiary, and significantly increased investments in product development.

The Order intake for the quarter was much lower compared with last year and decreased 64 percent to SEK 2,344 thousand (6,589). The main reason being absence of larger deals during the quarter 2022. The 2021 reference quarter had a large two-year renewal that individually amounted to about SEK 2 million.

From this quarter going forward, we will adjust our assessment basis for capitalization of own product development. Previously we have chosen to capitalize only a smaller share of our product development. As a result of our new product strategy, resulting in much fewer product variants and less adaptation work for the different hardware platforms that we are compatible with, we have confirmed a significantly increased efficiency. The judgement is that a larger share of the product development fulfills the requirements for capitalization. This means that the booked value of the balanced expenses increases.

The half year April – June 2022, The Group

• Net sales amounted to SEK 9,426 thousand (11,322)
• Costs totaled SEK -35,023 thousand (-26,427)
• The operating loss before appropriations and taxes was SEK -20,184 thousand (-14,006)
• Cash flow for the period was SEK -21,389 thousand (44,210)

Notable events during the quarter

• XMReality AB signed new deals with several Swedish energy companies and municipalities for the use of XMReality Remote Guidance. The main use case is technical support directly to the end customer.
• The Thai unit of a large Japanese car manufacturer placed an order for XMReality Remote Guidance through NTT (Nippon Telegraph and Telephone). XMReality has a partnership agreement in place with NTT since October 2020 so that NTT can market and sell XMReality Remote Guidance.
• XMReality launched new product functionality to easily schedule future guide calls in advance and have up to 20 people in a call. Historically XMReality’s product has targeted aftermarket processes with focus on intermittent problem resolution. Since 2021, product development has focused on increasing the number of use cases and hence market potential. This new functionality to schedule large group calls is another step in that direction.
• XMReality received an order from Coor, a leading provider of Facility Management services in the Nordic region, for licenses of XMReality Remote Guidance. The contract is a subscription agreement with automatic renewal. The main area of use is maintenance within Facility Management and to begin with, the service will be used for the Swedish market.

Notable events after the quarter

• XMReality launched several new product capabilities making the product tailored for planned remote activities such as inspections and audits. Customers can now schedule sessions in advance, use pre-defined step-by-step instructions in a live call and automatically generate PDF documentation for the call. This helps customers both perform and document planned activities with consistency and high quality.
