KEY FIGURES

Loudspring does not report consolidated accounts as Loudspring and its subsidiaries is regarded as a minor group in accordance with Finnish Accounting Act chapter 1 § 6 a.

At the end of the review period Loudspring had the following financing arrangements and balance sheet items:

• Cash EUR 1,06  million taking into account EUR 450 thousand (current) untapped credit limit from Nordea
• EUR 200 thousand Undrawn amount of the NEFCO loan facility
• The company owned listed shares (Enersize Oyj) with a fair value 30.6.2020 of EUR 2,0 million.
• Short term receivables from portfolio companies totalling EUR 742 thousand
• Capital loan receivables from portfolio companies totalling EUR 1,5 million

*32% of the Enersize shares owned by Loudspring have been given as collateral for Loudspring and daughter company Eagle Filters loans. The consent of the collateral holder is required for the selling of these shares.

HOLDINGS

Loudspring’s effective fully diluted ownerships 30.6.2020.

*Loudspring currently only holds indirect ownership in the company through a holding company.

Eagle Filters Oy, Lumeron Oy and Loudspring Sweden AB were Loudspring’s only subsidiaries at the end of the review period. Ownership is reported as effective fully diluted except for Enersize, where effective ownership is reported due to Enersize being a listed company. Effective ownership takes into account both direct and indirect ownership in the portfolio firms. Loudspring has indirect ownership through the Clean Future Fund (CFF), a Finnish limited partnership and several Cleantech Invest SPVs, all of them Swedish holding companies founded by Loudspring. Exit and dividend proceeds from portfolio companies may differ from ownership percentages, both in positive or negative direction, due to different share classes and provisions in shareholder agreements.

CEO’S REVIEW

The first half of this year has been dominated by the Covid-19 pandemic. This has brought a different impact on different core portfolio companies at Loudspring. But as always, even the most severe change in the business environment has also created opportunities. During the pandemic our ability to secure funding and remote working operations to our portfolio companies is key to continued success.

We set the expectation of nearly doubling the core company revenues during 2020 and have been working hard to achieve this. We have reviewed all the revenue targets set for this year and have set targets regarding year 2021, where possible. This will be itemized at each company chapter of this report. In minimum, our funding need remains at the level indicated in H1/2019 report.

Of the core portfolio companies, Sofi Filtration has been hit hard by the pandemic as opportunities for selling investment goods have largely stopped. Nuuka Solutions and ResQ Club both have fared relatively well, and are aiming to reach their targets despite the pandemic. Eagle Filters, on the other hand, has been able to turn the situation in its favour by entering the personal protective equipment business. Eagles’ ability to quickly come out with a high-quality respirator product is based on the company’s long experience in the industrial filtration business. Eagle Filters’ revenue performance is heavily linked to the success of the respirator business.

We have updated the Loudspring -index we created the previous year.

OVERALL DEVELOPMENT

The combined revenue (non audited estimate) of unlisted core holdings was 2,67 million EUR, a 26% decrease from H2 2019 and 3% decrease from H1 2019. The decrease in the combined revenue is mainly due to a drastic slow-down of Sofi Filtration’s business. Growth of other core holdings has also been hampered by the current market situation. Core holdings include Eagle Filters, Enersize, Nuuka Solutions, ResQ Club and Sofi Filtration. Follow-on investments were made in Eagle Filters, Nuuka Solutions and Swap.com.

The comments on associated companies are not full descriptions of each of the associated companies’ situations or their risks. Risks are described in more detail in the Risks and Uncertainties section. Loudspring will in this review provide unaudited financial estimates of its core portfolio provided that they are available at the time of this report.

REVENUE DEVELOPMENT FOR LOUDSPRING'S CORE HOLDINGS H1 2016 - H1/2020 (ESTIMATED, NON-AUDITED), EXCLUDING ENERSIZE

In this report Loudspring provides high and low revenue targets for its core holdings (excluding Enersize) for this and the following years. The targets are not financial guidance and will only be in general updated on an annual or semi-annual basis. Deviation from these targets will not trigger a positive or negative profit warning. Loudspring management views the targets as achievable revenue target ranges for each company. Ranges are developed in co-operation with portfolio company CEOs, and are based on portfolio companies’ sales pipelines.

Below the stage of each core holding is illustrated, as perceived by our proprietary Loudspring Index. The Loudspring Index measures the internal maturity of a company’s processes that is needed for the company to be able to grow but actual  growth is also influenced by a number of external factors e.g. market conditions that are beyond the portfolio company’s control.

EAGLE FILTERS

Eagle Filters provides advanced air filtration solutions for energy utilities, which increases the efficiency of gas turbines. The technology significantly reduces CO2 emissions and increases profitability. Eagle’s technology is being used by some of the world’s largest energy utilities. Eagle also produces high-quality respirators for health care professionals. Loudspring has increased its ownership in Eagle from 79,9% to 80,1% during the review period.

BUSINESS UPDATE

Eagle Filters companies’ revenue H1 2020 was EUR 1,27 million (unaudited estimate). Revenue increased 1% from H1 2019, with a 2% decrease from H2 2019.

At the time of reporting, the accumulated revenue and orders scheduled for full year 2020 was EUR 2,19 million.

Eagle Filters continues sales of its gas turbine filtration products globally while responding to the pandemic by entering the personal protective equipment market. The company’s experience of providing air filtration for most advanced industrial applications has enabled designing and starting the production of respirators in a very short time frame. However, the production ramp-up has taken more time than expected and production volumes have not yet reached targeted levels. Eagle has received first orders from several hospital districts in Finland and passed the tests required for COVID-19 certification for its product, enabling first deliveries. A CE certification process has also been initiated.

Overall, Eagle’s industrial energy efficiency market has suffered from the pandemic, by delaying maintenance of turbines and by making new customer acquisition more difficult. The targets regarding the industrial business have therefore been lowered, but at the same time the new respirator business provides a large opportunity for growth. The target volumes for the respirator business during 2020 and 2021 have a wide spread due to, among other things, fluctuating market conditions and uncertainties regarding the CE certification delivery time.

NON-AUDITED FINANCIALS H1/2020 (ESTIMATE) / H1 2019

Revenue development and Loudspring’s target range for 2020 and 2021 revenue for Eagle Filters is illustrated below.

EAGLE FILTERS REVENUE DEVELOPMENT AND TARGET RANGE

The above mentioned targets for Eagle Filters replace any previously given targets.

NUUKA SOLUTIONS

Nuuka Solutions makes buildings work smart and turns them healthy. Nuuka connects building automation, energy meters and IoT into a cloud data platform. The data platform provides energy and indoor climate analytics, process diagnostics and machine learning apps to save energy, improve sustainabilty and save costs through as well as streamlined operations and reporting. Customers include large building portfolio owners, property developers, retail chains and smart cities. Nuuka focuses on using analytics, machine learning and AI, and its technology, to operating buildings and make them healthy.

BUSINESS UPDATE

Nuuka companies’ revenue H1 2020 was EUR 644 400 (unaudited estimate). Revenue grew 40% from H1 2019, and decreased 2% from H2 2019. Nuuka’s contracted Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR) was at the end of the review period EUR 135 thousand / month. This is the anticipated monthly revenue from current signed contracts after the projects have been fully installed. The recurring revenue grows gradually as buildings are connected to Nuuka over a period of several months or years in some cases. Invoiced MRR grew to 72.5k€, with 6% average monthly net growth.

Nuuka’s first Artificial Intelligence app was released. This unique application uses Machine Learning to control air ventilation in the properties, and thus offer guaranteed indoor climate for tenants while creating substantial energy savings – without needing any manual work after one time installation. After the reporting period Nuuka signed the first product for the application: City of Lappeenranta.

The corona epidemic slowed down new customer acquisition and also slowed project deliveries. Thus, revenues are impacted. However, Nuuka was able to continue to grow its MRR during the review period.

NON-AUDITED FINANCIALS H1/2020 (ESTIMATE) / H1/2019

Revenue development and Loudspring’s target range for 2020 and 2021 revenue for Nuuka Solutions is illustrated below.

NUUKA SOLUTIONS REVENUE DEVELOPMENT AND TARGET RANGE

RESQ CLUB

ResQ is an app for rescuing surplus food from restaurants and grocery stores, at big discounts. The online marketplace enables restaurants, cafes and grocery stores to sell their surplus food to nearby people who want to save time, money and the planet while enjoying quality food.

BUSINESS UPDATE

GMV for H1 2020 was EUR 3,95 million and revenue EUR 694 916 (unaudited estimates), up 46% from H1 2019 and 20% from H2 2019.

The restaurant industry was heavily impacted by the pandemic during Q2. Despite a dramatic drop in the market, ResQ was relatively mildly impacted. Monthly GMV saw a 25% decline from March to May. Since then, GMV has continued to grow.

ResQ Club continued to progress according to its strategy, also during Q2/2020, and has made preparations for international expansion throughout the year. So far, revenue from outside Finland remains relatively small and the company expects to continue significant growth in Finland while building capabilities for upcoming expansion.

NON-AUDITED FINANCIALS H1/2020 (ESTIMATE) / H1/2019

Revenue development and Loudspring’s target range for 2020 and 2021 revenue for ResQ Club is illustrated below.

RESQ CLUB REVENUE DEVELOPMENT AND TARGET RANGE

SOFI FILTRATION

Sofi Filtration provides efficient water filtration technology. Their self-cleaning filter enables cost efficient micro filtration of large amounts of water.

BUSINESS UPDATE

Sofi Filtration’s revenues in H1 2020 were EUR 60 000 (unaudited estimate). Revenues decreased by 89% compared to H1 2019 and by 94% compared to H2 2019.

The pandemic has had a significant negative impact on Sofi. The market for investment goods has come to a halt and existing and potential new customer deliveries have been stalled.

Sofi is targeting to secure additional funding for continuing operations and executing its long term strategy during H2 2020.  

NON-AUDITED FINANCIALS H/2020 (ESTIMATE) / H1/2019

Revenue development for Sofi Filtration is illustrated below. Sofi Filtration’s revenue for 2020 and 2021 involves high uncertainty and therefore Loudspring does not set revenue targets for Sofi Filtration. Sofi Filtration’s revenue for 2020 is expected to be very low due to delayed orders.

SOFI FILTRATION REVENUE DEVELOPMENT

ENERSIZE

Enersize provides energy efficiency cloud analytics for heavy industry. The company is listed in Nasdaq First North Stockholm. With Enersize’s technology, large industrial factories can save significantly in their compressed air system electricity costs.

BUSINESS UPDATE

As a Nasdaq First North listed company, Enersize reports independently on its developments. Enersize’s financial reports can be found on https://enersize.com/. Enersize stock owned by Loudspring at the end of H1 2020 had a market value of EUR 2,0 million.

OUTLOOK 2020

All Loudspring portfolio companies face many growth company challenges and thus carry significant amounts of risks. At the same time, the companies are maturing and are better equipped to face these challenges.

Due to the pandemic, the market outlook is clearly two folded for Loudspring’s core portfolio companies. The business environment is expected to remain difficult for investment products due to travel restrictions and the economic downturn. Sofi Filtration’s and Eagle Filters’ industrial filter businesses suffer from this situation in the short run. However, Eagle Filters’ respirator business provides a significant opportunity for growth during H2. The global pandemic is expected to accelerate digitalization, and this trend supports the growth of Loudspring’s digital businesses such as Nuuka and ResQ Club.

Loudspring’s mission of saving natural resources is widely appreciated in the society and the demand for energy and resource efficiency is a megatrend that provides vast opportunities for growth, as well as increasing competition, for all of Loudspring’s core portfolio companies. Economic stimulus focused on green technologies and digital transformation is expected to support portfolio companies’ growth in a post pandemic world.

A need for securing additional funding continues for Loudspring and most of the portfolio companies.

Creating a positive environmental impact by business means is a unique long-term business opportunity. Loudspring will continue to work towards achieving set profitability targets as well as securing the required resources for growth.

EVENTS AFTER THE REVIEW PERIOD

After the review period the following events have taken place:

• Eagle Filters’ respirator products passed tests required for COVID-19 certification, performed at a European certification laboratory. Passing of the COVID-19 certification test enables the use of respirators in healthcare in EU.

• Eagle Filters has started a CE certification process for its respirator products
