Management overview of the first quarter

 

Following a strong 2021, iLOQ was able to continue on its growth path in Q1 2022. The Group’s revenue growth was 30% or higher for the seventh consecutive quarter with Q1 2022 revenue growth being 35%.

 

The successful actions to mitigate potential supply-chain disruptions due to the global electronics component shortages continued in Q1 2022. Management successfully continued measures to secure delivery capability and to mitigate possible unforeseen supply-chain disruptions in the first quarter to be able to meet customer demand. These actions continued the trend of higher inventory levels compared to Q1 2021. The company is likely to continue to hold higher than normal inventory levels in the coming quarters to mitigate any possible supply-chain disruption coming from the global component shortage. This increase in working capital had a material negative effect on the Group’s cash situation, but management continues to hold the view that, by strategically prioritizing delivery capability, the Group has been able to continue taking market share in Q1 2022.

 

In addition to the global electronics component shortages, the timing of China's COVID-19 restrictions together with the increased geopolitical risks related to the crisis in Ukraine are having a material impact to global supply chains and thus increases the risks also to iLOQ’s business outlook. iLOQ’s management has taken necessary mitigation actions to the above-mentioned risks to secure its delivery capability.

 

Q1 2022 included multiple significant events for iLOQ: iLOQ introduced a new solution that unlocks smart living – iLOQ HOME – a SaaS product that enables residents to have visibility and control of their keys in a ground-breaking way that has never been seen before in the residential sector. The solution is an extension of the iLOQ S5 digital locking system and iLOQ 5 Series platform. By removing the constraints of the traditional lock and key and how they are normally managed, iLOQ HOME has been designed to give residents more freedom, security and flexibility to live the way they want. With the introduction of the iLOQ HOME solution, iLOQ is once again innovating technological and resource-efficient solutions that fulfill society’s requirements for more sustainable, secure and smarter living environments.
 

iLOQ received silver ranking from Ecovadis – the world’s largest and most trusted provider of business sustainability ratings. Their assessment methodology is built on international sustainability standards, including the Global Reporting Initiative, the United Nations Global Compact, and ISO 26000. The silver ranking was given after evaluation of how well iLOQ has integrated environmental practices, labor and human rights, ethics and sustainable procurement into their business and management system.

 

Erja Sankari was appointed as Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer on 1st February, 2022. Erja will also become a member of iLOQ’s Management Team. Before joining iLOQ, Sankari has been working as Vice President of Global Supply Chain at Nokia. She replaces Esa Myllylä who will be retiring in 2022. Erja will be responsible for the comprehensive management and development of iLOQ’s global operations, internal practices and way of working and driving forward management systems.

 

 

 

First quarter 2022

 

Despite the strong final quarter Q4 2021, the quarter-to-quarter growth stayed on a high level with the revenue growth being 35% compared to Q1 2021, driven by strong sales across all regions and segments. In addition to iLOQs strong product offering, the strong revenue and delivery performance can be partly credited to the management’s decision to strategically increase short-term inventory levels to mitigate any possible supply-chain disruptions and therefore be able to gain market share due to high delivery capability.

 

EBITDA amounted to MEUR 5.4 (2.5), corresponding to a 21% (13%) EBITDA margin. The increase in EBITDA was mainly caused by the increased volumes and related operational leverage.

 

EBIT amounted to MEUR 3.1 (0.5), corresponding to a 12% (3%) EBIT margin. The increase in EBIT was mainly caused by the increased volumes and related operational leverage.

 

Operational cash flow was MEUR 3.5 (-3.2). The increase was mainly driven by the increased profitability and year-end 2021 having higher receivables due to the strong revenue performance. The increased inventories to mitigate any possible supply-chain disruptions continued to have a material negative impact on the Q1 2022 Operational Cash Flow. The company is expected to continue to have higher than normal inventories until the global component situation improves to guarantee its ability to produce and ship iLOQ products to customers.

* Q1 2020 EBITDA, EBIT & Operational Cash Flow include an impact from goodwill bridge calculation in which there is an inventory fair value adjustment of MEUR -1.2. This adjustment was done in connection with Nordic Capital Fund IX’s acquisition of iLOQ and is an NRI. This impact has been eliminated in the Adjusted EBITDA
