CEO statement
Record quarter concludes 2023
The fourth quarter was the strongest in the company's history. The long-term trend of
improved growth and profitability is a result of many strategic initiatives, where two
important components are a stronger product portfolio and expanded expertise, focus ing
on the growth areas of IP and cloud. Key advancements within time synchronization
included product launch, a new framework agreement with Teracom, and the initiation of
standardization for our synchronization technology.
Despite an ongoing challenging market within
the media industry, the technology
transformation continues to create an
underlying investment need among our
customers. The shift towards IP and cloud
brings both technical advantages and increased
cost-effectiveness. The investments in product
development within IP and cloud that we have
made in recent years have resulted in us
expanding our offering to existing customers
and attracting new customers, which
contributed to the strong growth. In the quarter,
we have seen particularly strong development in
the EMEA region, driven by several major deals.
Revenue in the fourth quarter
amounted to SEK 162.5 million,
which is an increase of 30.0%
compared to the same period the
previous year (currency-adjusted
27.2%). The gross margin for the
quarter was 63.1% (62.1%).
Operating profit for the quarter amounted to
SEK 29.4 (13.2) million. The increase compared
to the comparative period was largely driven by
the strong growth.
Revenue for the full year 2023 amounted to
SEK 559.4 million, an increase of 17.7% year-on-
year, surpassing our long-term goal of average
growth above 15%. The operating margin
(EBIT%) was 12.7% for the full year 2023, and
18.1% in Q4, compared to our long-term goal of
a 20% operating margin by 2027. We maintained
a high investment pace throughout the year, in
line with our strategy for long-term growth and
increased profitability.
A reliable partner in the ongoing
technological transformation of the market
We continued to develop and enhance our
media solutions throughout the year. Our
extensive product portfolio now supports even
more industry standards and protocols, and our
open approach to technology and our new
software solutions enables customers to
maximize their existing infrastructure
investments while seamlessly integrating new
features. We also strengthened our expertise in
IP and cloud and deepened our collaboration
with new and existing customers and partners,
which resulted in an increased average order
value and more stable sales.
Successful rollout of our new time
synchronization solution Zyntai.
We are proud to announce the commercial
launch of our time
synchronization
solution, Zyntai. The
orderbook increased
from SEK 180 million to
SEK 195 million in the
quarter, and deliveries
will gradually take place as customers expand
and upgrade their networks. During the quarter,
we also signed a framework agreement with
Teracom with a project value of over SEK 10
million for 2023 and 2024. We expanded our
collaboration with a major US operator, who is
expanding their network after successful
testing.
The recently initiated standardization of our
time synchronization technology marks an
important milestone for us, as it creates
increased reliability for our customers.
With significant progress in both media and time
synchronization, we are determined to continue
executing our strategy with full force. After a
highly successful quarter and year, we are now
eagerly looking forward to 2024.
Crister Fritzson, CEO
Solna, February 16, 2024
”The strongest quarter in the
company’s history concludes a
record year.”

REVENUES
October-December
Net sales in the fourth quarter of 2023 were SEK 162.5 (125.0) million, an increase of 30.0%. In
comparable currencies, sales increased by 27.2%.
Despite continued macroeconomic uncertainty, customers' willingness to invest has
remained good. The ongoing transformation in the media market involving a move towards IP
and the cloud means both technical advantages and increased cost efficiency, which in turn
creates investment needs for our customers. The growth in the media business in the fourth
quarter amounted to 42.2% year-on-year. All regions show growth compared to the previous
year, but most of the increase is driven by strong sales in the EMEA region with a number of
large deals. The long unbroken growth trend (13th consecutive quarter of growth) is a result of
recent years' investments in product development and competence, which strengthened our
offer and meant both new customers and expanded business with existing customers.
Revenues from time synchronization for 5G and critical networks amounted to SEK 8.7 million
in the quarter, compared to SEK 16.9 million the previous year. The previous year's fourth
quarter included higher revenues linked to delivery of the initial time synchronization product.
The new synchronization product Zyntai has been launched during the quarter and the first
deliveries have been completed, which also means that the NRE (non-recurring engineering)
fee linked to the development of this product has been reduced compared to the previous
year. The orderbook increased from SEK 180 million to over SEK 195 million in the quarter,
and deliveries will gradually take place as customers expand and upgrade their networks.
Initially, we focus on telecom operators who use the product for time synchronization of 5G
networks, but we also see a need and an interest for our time synchronization solution among
customers with other critical networks.
January-December
Net sales for 2023 amounted to SEK 559.4 (475.1) million, an increase of 17.7%. In
comparable currencies, sales increased by 12.4%.
During 2023, we have seen continued good growth which accelerated during the second
half of the year. As previously mentioned, the ongoing transformation in the media market has
continued to create a need for investment among our customers, which has formed the basis
for growth. Investments in product development in recent years have resulted in a series of
launches of new and expanded functionality during the year, which strengthened our offer and
increased our competitiveness. In combination with increased local presence, this has meant
an increased number of new customers as well as deepened collaborations and expanded
business with existing customers. Growth within the media business during 2023 amounted
to 23.2% year-on-year. Revenue from time synchronization for 5G and critical networks during
2023 amounted to SEK 34.8 million, compared to SEK 49.2 million the previous year. The
decrease in sales compared to the previous year is a consequence of the decrease in sales of
the previous version of the synchronization product as the launch of the new product
approached (which took place at the end of 2023).
The company has no direct seasonal variation, however there is a certain variation in
revenue between quarters due to the concentration of larger deals in certain quarters.
EARNINGS
October-December
Gross profit for the third quarter was SEK 102.6 (77.6) million, an increase by 32.2%. The
increase is primarily driven by the increased revenue, but also by a slightly increased gross
margin. Gross profit included amortization of capitalized development expenditure of SEK
-12,9 (-11.9) million. Gross margin excluding and including amortization of capitalized
development expenditure was 71.1% (71.6%) and 63.1% (62.1%) respectively. The gross
margin is in line with the previous year despite cost increases and increased amortization of
capitalized development expenditures. Increased support revenue as well as increased
software content in the products, thus increased license revenue, contribute to maintaining
and strengthening the margin.
Operating expenses in the fourth quarter of SEK -72.3 (-61.6) million, an increase of 17.3%
year-on-year. The increase is driven by strengthening of the organization (primarily in time
synchronization). The increase is also due to cost increases driven by inflation, increased
sales costs linked to the increased sales and the weakening of the Swedish Krona. Operating

costs in the quarter are also affected by costs related to the implementation of a new ERP
system.
Sales and marketing expenses were SEK -40,3 (-35,3) million, and administration expenses
to SEK -16.6 (-13.4) million. Development expenses were SEK -15.4 (-12.9) million and the total
development expenditures, i.e., before capitalization, were SEK -39.9 (-37.6) million. The
increase in sales and marketing costs relates to building up the organization for the offer
within time synchronization for 5G, increased costs for customer and marketing activities, and
increased local presence. Part of the cost increase in the quarter is linked to increased variable
compensation due to the high turnover which. The increase in administration costs is partly
due to an ongoing project regarding the implementation of a new ERP system of SEK -0.7 (-)
million, partly due to recruitment cost regarding new chairman of the board and CFO.
Other operating income and expenses were SEK -0.8 (-2.8) million, of which foreign
exchange rate differences of SEK -0.1 (-2.8) million.
Operating earnings amounted to SEK 29.4 (13.2) million, corresponding to an operating
margin of 18.1% (10.6%). Excluding foreign exchange rate differences of SEK -0.1 (-2.7)
million, operating earnings were SEK 29.5 (15.9) million. See also table Material profit and loss
items on page 19.
EBITDA and EBITDAC (including reversal of capitalization of development expenditures)
amounted to SEK 46.2 (28.7) million and SEK 21.7 (4.1) million, respectively, which
corresponded to an EBITDA margin of 28.4% (23.0%) and an EBITDAC margin of 13.4% (3.3%).
In the fourth quarter, net financial items amounted to SEK -0.5 (-0.4) million, of which
foreign exchange rate differences of SEK -2.5 (-1.3) million and net interest income of SEK 2.0
(0.9) million. The increased net interest income is due to increased interest income due to
higher market interest rates.
Profit before tax was SEK 29.0 (12.8) million, and net income was SEK 22.6 (9.9) million,
corresponding to a net margin of 13.9% (7.9%).
January-December
Gross profit for the first nine-month period was SEK 341.8 (297.7) million, an increase by
14.8%. The increase is due to the increased revenue and a favorable revenue mix, where a
gradual increase of software-related revenue with a higher margin partially compensates for
increased costs for components etc. Gross profit included amortization of capitalized
development expenditure of SEK -55.1 (-46.2) million. Gross margin excluding and including
amortization of capitalized development expenditure was 71.0% (72.4%) and 61.1% (62.7%)
respectively. The increase in license and support revenue during 2023 has not fully
compensated for lower event-base services revenue compared to the previous year.
Operating expenses were SEK -266,4 (-234,2) million, an increase of 13.8% year-on-year. The
increase includes cost increases driven by e.g. inflation, a strengthening of the organization,
increased marketing-related costs, implementation of a new ERP system and the weakening
of the Swedish Krona against the USD. Last year’s operating expenses included costs for
restructuring of SEK -1.2 million.
Sales and marketing expenses were SEK -152.1 (-130.0) million, and administration
expenses to SEK -62.4 (-52.8) million. Development expenses were SEK -51.8 (-51.4) million
and the total development expenditure, i.e., before capitalization, were SEK -145.2 (-139.0)
million. The increase in sales and marketing costs as well as development expenditure relates
primarily to building up the organization for the offer within time synchronization as well as
increased costs for customer and marketing activities. The sales and marketing costs are also
affected by a negative currency effect as a significant part of these costs are in USD. The
increase in administration costs is attributable to a certain strengthening of central functions
to ensure continued growth and to the replacement of ERP systems of SEK -3.3 (-) million.
Other operating income and expenses were SEK -4.5 (-3.0) million, of which foreign
exchange rate differences of SEK -5.0 (-1.9) million. During the year, the parent company
received a government electricity subsidy of SEK 0.6 million (-). Last year included impairment
of development projects of SEK -1.5 million
Operating earnings amounted to SEK 70.9 (60.5) million, corresponding to an operating
margin of 12.7% (12.7%). Excluding foreign exchange rate differences of SEK -5.0 (-1.9) million
and items affecting comparability of SEK 0.6 (-2.6), operating earnings were SEK 75.3 (65.0)
million. See also table Material profit and loss items on page 19.

EBITDA and EBITDAC (including reversal of capitalization of development expenditures)
amounted to SEK 142.5 (122.7) million and SEK 49.1 (35.1) million, respectively, which
corresponded to an EBITDA margin of 25.5% (25.8%) and an EBITDAC margin of 8.8% (7.4).
Net financial items amounted to SEK 6.5 (8.4) million, of which foreign exchange rate
differences of SEK -0.8 (6.9) million and net interest income of SEK 7.2 (1.4) million. The
increased net interest income is due to increased interest income due to higher market
interest rates.
Profit before tax was SEK 77.4 (68.9) million, and net income was SEK 60.1 (54.0) million,
corresponding to a net margin of 10.7% (11.4%).
INVESTMENTS
The investments in the fourth quarter were SEK 25.1 (25.4) million, of which SEK 24.5 (24.6)
million related to capitalization of expenditure for development. The investments in 2023 were
SEK 93.4 (87.6) million, of which SEK 93.4 (87.6) million related to capitalization of expenditure
for development. The increase in capitalized development expenditure relates to the
investment in 5G time synchronization.
Depreciation and amortization in the fourth quarter totaled SEK -16.8 (-15.5) million, of
which SEK -12.9 (-11.9) million related to amortization of capitalized expenditure for
development. Depreciation and amortization in 2023 totaled SEK -71.6 (-62.2) million, of which
SEK -55.1 (-46.2) million related to amortization of capitalized expenditure for development.
Launches of new products have increased the amortization. The previous year also included
an impairment of development projects during the third quarter, as a consequence of closer
integration of the Nimbra and Aperi platforms, of -1.5 MSEK.
Net value of capitalized expenditure for development was SEK 236.5 million at end of the
year, against SEK 198.2 million as of December 31, 2022.
CASH FLOW AND FINANCIAL POSITION
Cash flow from operating activities in the fourth quarter amounted to SEK 45.2 (65.2) million
and for 2023 to SEK 107.3 (148.8) million. The increase in inventory during 2022 and the first
six-month period of 2023 is a consequence of securing components with longer foresight
than normal due to the prevailing component shortage. The continued growth, especially in
the APAC region, has led to increased accounts receivable in 2022 and 2023. During the first
quarter 2022, SEK 28.2 million was received for the second half the NRE (non-recurring
engineering fee) from the 5G time synchronization business with Türk Telekom, a prepaid
revenue that was recognized as revenue during the development of the new products for 5G
synchronization until the launch in Q4 2023.
The total cash flow for the fourth quarter amounted to SEK 4.2 (14.0) million and for 2023
to SEK -41.7 (-47.0) million. The increased investments in development projects 2023,
compared to the previous year, are offset by a reduced repurchase of own shares and
exercised warrants. Excluding the cash impact from share-related transactions (repurchase of
own shares and exercised warrants, see page 19), cash flow for the fourth quarter was SEK
17.5 (37.5) million and for 2023 SEK 0.9 (51.2) million. More information about the buyback
program and warrants can be found on page 12.
Cash and cash equivalents were SEK 266.4 million at year-end, against SEK 308.3 million as

and for the year was 196 (183) and 191 (176), respectively, of which 160 (149) and 158 (143),
respectively, in the parent company Net Insight AB (publ.). The increase is primarily
attributable to the investment in time synchronization.

Net sales for the parent company were SEK 559.4 (474.7) million in 2023, and net income
was SEK 56.9 (49.7) million. In 2023, intra-group sales totaled SEK 0.0 (0.0) million, and intra-
group purchases SEK -86.0 (-71.5) million. Previous years’ net financials included a capital loss
of -4.3 MSEK, when consolidating of the number of legal entities, and a dividend from a
subsidiary of SEK 3.1 million
Progress in the parent company during the year and its financial position largely shadowed
group progress as indicated above (except for intra-group transactions).
RISK AND SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS
Net Insight’s operations and results of operations are affected by a number of external and
internal factors. The company conducts a continuous process to identify all risks present, and
to assess how each risk should be managed.
Primarily, the risks the company is exposed to are market-related risks (including
competition, technological progress, and political risks), operational risks (including product
liability, intellectual property, disputes, customer dependency and contract risks) as well as
financial and sustainability-related risks.
The situation of component shortages that arose in connection with the pandemic has in
recent years meant increased uncertainty. During 2022 and 2023, we worked to manage the
shortage situation and in the second half of 2023 we have noted a gradual improvement in the
situation The war in Ukraine that began in the first quarter 2022 has contributed to increased
uncertainty and risk associated with operations and the implementation of events, especially
in Ukraine, Russia, and Belarus. The company's exposure to these markets is extremely limited
and the decision to comply with the sanctions in force at the time of reporting is therefore not
considered to have any material impact on the company's operations, assets, or earnings.
However, how the war develops is difficult to predict and the company makes ongoing
evaluations of the need to take action.
The ongoing conflict in the Middle East has generally meant increased uncertainty, but we
currently have difficulty assessing the possible impact this may have on, for example, access
and prices of components. However, the company's direct exposure to this region is limited.
Except for this, no additional critical risks and uncertainty factors, other than those reviewed
in the Annual Report for 2022, arose during 2023 or are anticipated in 2024.
The risks and uncertainty factors are essentially the same for the parent company and the
group as a whole.
For a comprehensive review of the company’s risk and sensitivity analysis, and its risk
management process, see pages 49-51, 54-55 and 72-74 of the Annual Report for 2022.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This Interim Report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34
Interim Financial Reporting and applicable regulations of the Swedish
Annual Accounts Act. The Interim Report of the parent company
complies with chapter 9 of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, Interim
Financial Reporting, and RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities.
Disclosures in accordance with IAS 34 are presented in the interim
financial statements and the associated notes as well as elsewhere in
the interim financial report.
There are no new or amended International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS) in 2023 that have had a material impact on the
Company’s financial reporting.
The company has changed the cash flow analysis so that it is
based on the operating profit, as it is the performance measure that
the company normally follows up the business from, both internally
and externally.
Except from stated above, the same accounting principles and
basis of calculation as those used in the latest Annual Report have
been applied to the group and parent company. For a description of
these accounting principles, please refer to the Annual Report for
2022.
The preparation of the Interim Report requires management to
make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the
company’s earnings and position and information presented
generally. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and
are based on historical experience and other factors, including
expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under
the circumstances. For a description of these estimates and
assumptions, please refer to the Annual Report for 2022.
Figures in brackets in this report refer to comparison with the
corresponding period or date in the previous year, if not stated
otherwise. Divergences due to rounding may occur in this report.
Tax
The group reported tax of total SEK -6.4 (-2.9) million for the period
October–December 2023, corresponds to an effective tax rate of -
22.0 (-22.8) percent. The group reported tax of total SEK 17.3 (-14.9)
million for the period January–September 2023, corresponds to an
effective tax rate of -22.3 (-21.6) percent. The effective tax rate is
affected by tax adjustments and the relative effects of foreign tax
rates.
The remaining tax loss carryforwards of SEK 12.9 million that the
group companies had as of December 31, 2022, has been utilized
during the year.
Contributed equity
The repurchase program, which was decided by the board with the
support of a mandate from the 2022 AGM, ran during the period July
2022 to February 2023. Within the program, the parent company
repurchased a total of 12,877,000 own B shares on Nasdaq
Stockholm for SEK 70.1 million, including transaction costs, of which
1,297,000 more shares for SEK 8.5 million during the period January-
February 2023.
The 2023 AGM resolved to authorize the board of directors to
resolve to repurchase, on one or several occasions until the next
AGM, as many own shares as may be purchased without the
company’s holding at any time exceeding ten per cent of the total
number of shares in the company. Further, the AGM resolved to
authorize the board of directors to resolve on one or several
occasions until the next annual general meeting, to transfer (sell) own
shares.
At the Board meeting in June, the board of Directors of Net Insight
AB decided to utilize the repurchase mandate given at the AGM in
2023. The repurchase program commenced on June 7, 2023, and will
last until the next AGM and will amount to maximum SEK 50 million.
During June-December 2023, the parent company repurchased
9,268,000 of its own B shares on Nasdaq Stockholm for SEK 41.9
million, including transaction costs.
The 2023 AGM resolved that the company’s share capital shall be
reduced by SEK 511,000 for allocation to unrestricted equity through
cancellation of 12,775,000 own B shares held by the company. The
cancellation was completed on August 11.
At the end of the period, the parent company had a total of
9,370,000 of its own class B shares, at an average cost of SEK 4.54
per share and with a par value of SEK 0.04 per share. The shares are
held as own shares. The parent company has the right to reissue
these shares at a later date.
In 2023, subscription for shares in long-term incentive programs,
decided by the 2020 AGM (LTI 2020 series 1 and 2) were exercised. A
total of 3,055,000 warrants have been issued in the program and each
warrant entitles the holder to subscribe for one (1) B -share against a
predetermined subscription price of SEK 2.80 and SEK 2.00,
respectively. During June- December, 3,055,000 warrants were
exercised, which resulted in the number of B shares and votes in Net
Insight AB increasing by 3,055,000 and the share capital increasing by
SEK 122,200.
In total, the Company has two additional ongoing warrant
programs (LTI 2022 in series 1 and 2) with a total of 1,805,000
warrants. When calculating earnings per share, a dilution effect arises
when the average price for the period exceeds the exercise price for
the warrants. For more information about the programs and the
accounting principles, see Note 7 on page 82 in the 2022 Annual
Report.
All shares issued by the parent company were fully paid.
TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED
PARTIES
In 2023, the parent company hired a member of the management
team’s related party company for consulting services. Charged fees
during the year amounted to SEK 0.8 (-) million.
