CEO comment:

Strong result and completed change of ownership

ZetaDisplay's net sales amounted to SEK 101.6 (86.9) million. SaaS revenues amounted to SEK 44.5 (38.4) million and represented 43.8 (44.2) % of net sales. ARR corresponded to SEK 177.3 million and EBITDA was SEK 13.2 (13.6) million. Adjusted for non-recurring items related to the strategic review during the spring, EBITDA amounted to 24.0 (13.6) MSEK.

The increase in net sales is mainly explained by the acquisition of German NORDLAND systems GmbH. Gross profit for the period amounted to SEK 65.5 (45.9) million with a gross margin of  64.4  (52.8) %.

During the third quarter, we have seen increased activity in the market that we are responding to with a continued strong customer offering. The customer base has remained intact throughout the pandemic, and we see that the recovery in customer activity has become more apparent. The number of procurements has increased, and customers have started to plan for new projects to a greater extent.

The increase in activity in the market internation­ally and some lack of components have led to some delays in hardware deliveries. We have largely been able to handle the situation thanks to our strong position with leading suppliers and through coordination within the Group.

We continue to develop and launch new features and integrations in our software platform.

Our employees have increasingly returned to working from the offices in line with local restrictions and recommendations.

Change of ownership

During the quarter, the company has gone through a change of ownership. The management of ZetaDisplay together with the new owners look forward to promoting growth and creating long-term positive effects.

Outlook

Developments over the past three months have confirmed that the market is recovering, and we are preparing for further growth for the remainder of the year.
