Business and General Conditions

Market and Competition

The market for video security systems at the beginning of the first half of the 2023/24 financial year was tense due to the war in Ukraine and the Middle East conflict, along with the resulting global economic uncertainty, but showed signs of recovery during the first half. Competitive pressure in major sales markets remains high due to a price-aggressive market environment and technologically advanced competitors. MOBOTIX, as a technology company, counters this pressure by introducing new camera lines, various software innovations, and strategic technology partnerships. The strategic focus is to position MOBOTIX as a German full-solution provider for selected vertical market applications.

In the first half of the 2023/24 financial year, MOBOTIX continued to focus on portfolio expansion, the availability of new innovative products and solutions, and sales concepts as part of its mid-term planning.

Integration and strategic partnerships remain a key focus for MOBOTIX this financial year. The MOBOTIX "Certified App" program for strategic partnerships was extended in the healthcare sector through a partnership with Kepler and the NurseAssist app, which supports nursing staff by automatically detecting patient falls. This can ensure immediate intervention in emergencies while reducing the workload for caregivers. Additionally, the NurseAssist app was integrated into

the MOBOTIX HUB using a dedicated plugin, allowing privacy-compliant assistance to caregivers, especially by protecting patient privacy, as the system does not need to display image data in MOBOTIX HUB directly but can represent alarms solely through symbols.

The camera portfolio was expanded with a new MOBOTIX MOVE Multisensor PTZ combination. This allows for continuous 360° surveillance through four independent sensor modules while integrating another PTZ sensor module within the same camera. Using AI-assisted detection methods, it's possible to automatically track individuals with the PTZ module. Additionally, two cost-effective models for basic applications were added to the product range: the 2MP and 5MP Turret cameras.

To strengthen the thermal area, the Thermal Validation App was further developed to reduce false alarm rates while not missing significant events. For this, the detection of alarms triggered by vehicles was further improved. To facilitate post-event analysis of thermal events, a Thermal Dashboard was introduced in both MOBOTIX HUB and MOBOTIX ManagementCenter, allowing for easy analysis of temperature trends and alarms over extended periods.

Throughout the entire product portfolio, there were several firmware updates in the first half of the year, expanding functionality and enhancing cybersecurity.

Cooperation with Konica Minolta

The technology cooperation between MOBOTIX and Konica Minolta continued in the first half of the 2023/24 financial year. The collaboration in the field of deep learning-based video analysis and the KM FORXAI platform progressed.

Konica Minolta also invested in a significant number of sales personnel during the first half of the 2023/24 financial year, focusing on selling MOBOTIX technologies to end customers and channel partners.

Development of the Vaxtor Group

Vaxtor's OCR analysis technology is used for the automated recognition of letters, numbers, barcodes, or other machine-readable data. It enables the rapid and cost-effective capture of such information, processing, and the initiation of associated processes.

The OCR technology opens doors for deep learning in the vertical markets defined by MOBOTIX, for example, in license plate recognition and beyond. This includes applications in the commercial sector for con- tainer, vehicle, and aircraft recognition or supply chain monitoring.

Vaxtor supports MOBOTIX's strategic focus on deep learning, as Vaxtor ALPR can be operated decentrally through apps, providing a competitive advantage over several competitors.

Results of Operations, Net Assets and Financial Position

Earnings

Sales in the first half of the 2023/24 financial year decreased by 31.0% compared to the previous year, from EUR 33.1 million to EUR 22.9 million. Revenue from contract development fell by EUR 0.7 million to EUR 0.2 million. Revenue from the sale of components increased from EUR 0.7 million to EUR 0.8 million. Revenue from the sale of video systems and software fell by EUR 11.0 million, a decrease of 33.3%.

The revenue decline from the sale of video systems and software was primarily due to project delays and postponed customer financing. In the DACH region, sales decreased by 21%, in Europe by 35%. The largest decline was in America, where sales dropped by 61%. The APAC region saw a 10% increase in sales.

The increased collaboration with Konica Minolta in deep learning-based video analysis and the KM FORXAI platform continued in the first half of the 2023/24 financial year. The decline in revenue from contract development mainly resulted from strengthening in-house develop- ment. Consequently, capitalized self-generated assets increased by EUR 0.6 million to EUR 2.3 million.

The material input ratio (material cost, adjusted for inventory changes, relative to sales revenue excluding contract development) rose to 49.7% (previous year: 47.0%), mainly due to lower sales revenue compared to the first half of 2022/23.

The personnel cost ratio (personnel cost relative to total output) increased in the first half due to lower sales revenue, rising from 38.2% in the previous year to 45.8%. The decline in personnel costs by EUR 1.8 million resulted from a general reduction in the number of employees.

Other operating expenses totaling EUR 4.0 million in the first half of 2023/24 decreased by EUR 0.4 million (9.4%) compared to the previous year. The decline in other operating expenses was mainly due to reduced marketing and travel costs.

EBITDA (-4.5% of total output; earnings before interest, taxes, and depreciation) was -EUR 1.1 million, down by EUR 3.6 million compared to the previous year's first half (EUR 2.5 million). EBIT (-13.2% of total output; earnings before interest and taxes) was -EUR 3.2 million, 3.6 million lower than the previous year's first half.

The first half of 2023/24 ended with a net loss of -EUR 3.8 million (first half of 2022/23: -EUR 0.3 million) and a sales margin of -16.9% (first half of 2022/23: -0.9%).

Net Assets

Non-current assets increased by EUR 0.6 million compared to the beginning of the financial year, totaling EUR 31.3 million. Intangible assets rose primarily due to capitalized self-generated costs by EUR 2.2 million. Property, plant, and equipment decreased to EUR 13.1 million due to planned depreciation of EUR 0.7 million.

Inventory dropped from EUR 25.3 million at the beginning of the financial year to EUR 25.0 million as of March 31, 2024.

Accounts receivable from sales and services decreased by EUR 5.6 million to EUR 9.1 million compared to the beginning of the financial year as of March 31, 2024. This was due to payments of overdue invoices from customers and decreased sales revenue during the reporting period.

Receivables from affiliated companies, including receivables from companies in the Konica Minolta group, decreased by EUR 2.1 million to EUR 1.5 million as of March 31, 2024.

Cash and cash equivalents increased by EUR 0.8 million compared to September 30, 2023, totaling EUR 1.7 million (September 30, 2023: EUR 0.9 million).

Interim Group Management Report

Deferred tax assets were primarily formed due to existing loss carry- forwards, totaling EUR 5.8 million as of March 31, 2024.

Equity decreased by EUR 3.8 million to EUR 14.3 million, considering the result for the first half of the 2023/24 financial year. The equity ratio dropped from 22.3% on March 31, 2023, to 18.9% on March 31, 2024.

The decrease in other provisions by EUR 0.9 million to EUR 6.7 million mainly resulted from the utilization of provisions for outstanding invoices.

Bank liabilities decreased by EUR 5.6 million to EUR 8.4 million as of March 31, 2024, compared to the beginning of the financial year. This decline resulted from planned repayments of short- and medium-term loans and the replacement and repayment of short-term bank loans through loans from Konica Minolta Inc., Tokyo, Japan, totaling EUR 36.7 million at the reporting date.

Liabilities from sales and services remained nearly unchanged compared to September 30, 2023, at EUR 6.3 million.

Deferred tax liabilities were created due to the capitalization of self- generated development costs, totaling EUR 3.8 million as of March 31, 2024.

Financial Position

The operating cash flow before working capital changes was -EUR 2.1 million for the first half of 2023/24 (previous year: EUR 1.8 million). The negative change compared to the first half of 2022/23 is primarily due to the worsening half-year result before taxes of -EUR 4.4 million.

Cash flow from operating activities before income taxes amounted to EUR 7.2 million (previous year: EUR 2.5 million), mainly due to the reduction in accounts receivable from sales and services and those from affiliated companies.

The negative cash flow from investing activities, totaling -EUR 2.8 million (previous year's first half: -EUR 2.3 million), was mainly due to investments in intangible assets amounting to EUR 2.7 million, primarily attributable to capitalized self-generated costs.

The positive cash flow from financing activities, totaling EUR 1.5 million (previous year's first half: -EUR 1.2 million), primarily resulted from intercompany loans from the parent company and interest payments for financial liabilities.

The development of individual cash flows resulted in a negative cash fund of EUR 1.7 million as of March 31, 2024 (March 31, 2023: -EUR 30.9 million). To finance the negative cash fund, short-term loans of EUR

8.2 million were obtained, resulting in a cash balance and bank deposits of EUR 1.7 million as of March 31, 2024. Nearly all existing bank credit lines had been utilized as of March 31, 2024.
