CEO’s comments

In 2018, the company laid the foundation for commercialization 2019 of the new unique product generation In:xtnd™  with gigabit performance. The company has invested substantially in technology and product development, patent portfolio, organizational development, participation in trade fairs and engaging customers, as well as the purchase of key components for 2019.

The financial result in 2018 was SEK -49.3 million and net sales was SEK 1.5 million. This should not be a surprise as we on November 27 released the Investment Memorandum and December 27 press released the approval of listing on First North, as well as updates of certain financials as of November 30.

The purposeful investment in In:xtnd™ has delivered a lot: a first major letter of intent at the end of December regarding 100,000-200,000 apartments, an evaluation study with a customer in the US, and about 15 ongoing / planned customer tests at the beginning of 2019. All in all, I see good conditions for us to get initial sales of In:xtnd™ with several customers shortly.

Our priorities in 2019 are:

• Commercialise In:xtnd™ in Europe.
• Expand geographically in Europe, USA and Middle East.
• Expand leadership within MoCA Access™:
  -          Fiber extension.
  -          5G/Fixed Mobile Convergence.
• Broaden In:xtnd™ product portfolio.
• Further develop the patent portfolio.
• Financing.

We are in a very interesting market situation, with the aim of building a world-leading company. In 2018 we strengthened our positions and laid the foundation. We are working intensively within a number of areas during 2019 to deliver on our financial objectives: over SEK 300 million in sales in 2020 and over SEK 1,000 million in 2023, with a long-term target EBIT margin of 20 per cent.
