XMReality Interim report, Group overview, April – June 2022

XMReality Interim report, Group overview, April – June 2022

Published: Thu, Aug 11, 2022 08:30 CET

The Annual Recurring Revenues (ARR) increased 3 percent. The Net Sales decreased by 17 percent. The Gross Margin rose from 90 percent to 95 percent.

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.

A record quarter and a record year! Net Sales grew under the quarter with 119 percent and the Order Intake with 86 percent. The Net Sales growth on an annual basis was 74 percent, the corresponding number for the Annual Recurring Revenues (ARR) was 117 percent.

As per the previous year, the final quarter did see a strong Order Intake with an 86 percent growth to SEK 10 919 thousand (5 868). The Net Sales grew as much as 119 percent.

They recently undertook their first project outside of Asia with a delivery of a prefabricated prototype home to New Zealand. Due to travel restrictions, XMReality Remote Guidance was used to lead the first stage of the build remotely from Japan.

Message from the CEO

XMReality´s CEO Jörgen Remmelg

2020 has been a very strong year for XMReality. Also, a year of significant change and a testament for how powerful a good vision- and strategy work is for the positive transition of a company. Indeed, we have had the market with us and an accelerated need for Remote Guidance as a consequence of the travel restrictions we have lived with during the majority of 2020. During the year we have more or less doubled our Order Intake, Net Sales and ARR at the same time as cost grew only 7 percent. This in itself is a definition of scalability which makes me proud of the team!

We act on a very healthy market where the growth is sufficient for the current players. This in turn means that we do not to the same degree have to steel market shares from the competition, which typically is more costly. Enterprise augmented reality software, i.e. gaming and hardware excluded, is expected to have a CAGR of at least 50 percent mid-term (see figure 1). The market growth during 2021 is projected to 66 percent. The majority of this growth is expected in areas where we are active and successful such as manufacturing industry, health care, facility management and automotive. We have very good growth ideas within these areas.

The Order Intake is growing at a good pace (see figure 2) and our customers are satisfied with the product, its functionality, stability and availability of the service. A clear trend during the year has been more competitive and structured procurements within our market segment. This is a sign of maturity and I am glad to note that we have won the majority of these that we have participated in. This drives new sales. Also, up-sales to existing customers is increasing where we sell more branding of the application which increases our stickiness. Also, in the Order Intake diagram you will see our typical seasonal variation with strong Q4’s and less strong Q3’s.

The Annual Recurring Revenus (ARR) make up some 80 percent of our business and is a central metric in the SaaS (Software as a Service) model. During the spring strategy work, we re-defined the activity formula with the objective to accelerate ARR growth. To now, for the FY2020, achieve an ARR-growth of 117 percent (see
