NEXT Biometrics: Interim report for Q3 2020

Highlights Q3 2020:
*Cost reduction program target reached at end of the quarter; cost effectiveness focus continues
*Revenue of NOK 15.2 million in Q3 2020 up 12% from Q2 2020
…

Vis børsmeldingen

*COVID-19 has extended sales cycles and delayed closing of deals, but actively working on multiple opportunities with revenue potential in 2021
*Gross margin of 14% in Q3 2020 (11% in Q3 2019)
*EBITDA ex options of NOK -14.2 million in Q3 2020 (-34.7 million in Q3 2019)
*NOK 10.8 million subsequent offering completed in July
*Cash position of NOK 86.8 million per 30 September 2020

NEXT CEO Peter Heuman commented:
“Our performance during the third quarter is characterized by outstanding score on cost cutting which is now a full quarter ahead of plan coming in at NOK 17.3 million in adjusted operating expense per quarter. Revenues are inching upwards delivering growth of 65% compared to our turn-around low-point in Q4 2019 and a 12% growth compared to Q2 2020. We had expected better revenue numbers than what we actually reported, but the pandemic has lengthened already long biometric sales cycles for many of our customers. Still, we remain steadfast in pursuit of higher revenue numbers and have confidence that our turn-around, systematic and intensive sales efforts should yield further results.

The COVID-19 environment has frustrated our efforts to quickly accelerate growth. The commercial activity level is, however, very high. Our streamlined organization has done a great job in establishing new potential growth areas. Compared to when the reset of the company started, our sensors have now been designed into several interesting biometric devices and point of sales manufactures in Asia, US and India. On the PC front we continue to see interest from new customers and recurring business from existing customers.

In summary, our costs are down and our cost cutting is ahead of schedule. Our revenues show an upward trajectory and the organization aggressively pursues new business with our promising FAP20 and other products.”

Next holder seg bra!

[Dataminer]

Da var Q3 ferdig presentert – informativt, tydelig og veldig spennede

Viktigste punkter:

• Kostnadsmålet er nådd (5M NOK/mnd)
• Ytterligere kostreduksjoner kan komme
• Tydelige eksempler på hvordan salgsstrategi er endret (fra enkeltsalg til design-wins med store partnere)
• Flere partnere forventes å lansere sine produkt i 2021 (økt ordreinngang for NEXT)
• Majoriteten av pipeline er relatert til FAP20
• Forventet økning av salgsteamet i 2021 (både rent salg og teknisk salgsstøtte)

Med god kontroll på kostnadene betyr dette i praksis at nå handler alt om salg. Peter Heuman har i mine øyne noe så sjeldent som kommersiell forståelse og demonstrerer et veldig sterkt og målrettet fokus på hvordan NEXT skal kunne selge mest mulig av høymarginsproduktet FAP20.

Nøkkelen her er Design-ins.

Slidene som viste «Design-ins momentum YTD 2020» og «Revenue momentum» var veldig informative og viser oss tidslinjene på hvordan slike samarbeid utarter seg. Som vi ser så er det forventet at flere av samarbeidene vil materialisere seg i løpet av H1-21.

Credence ID ser vi har forventet launch av sitt produkt i Q4-20, med forventet volumordre i Q1-21.

Jeg tror vi vil se en vanvittig reprising av NEXT når selskapet begynner for alvor å melde ordrer. Vi aner konturene av ordrer som perler på en snor hvor de første basert på design-ins’ene allerede kan komme mot årsslutt.

Sluttet på 2,40 i dag. Tror vi tålmodige får betalt her til slutt

[Eventyr.No]

Litt dra hjelp fra Idex er fint

[holmes]

Herlig utvikling

[Eventyr.No]

Kva vil du sei er forskjellen mellom Idex og Next. Har ikkje satt meg så veldig inn i selskapene.
Det eg har lest så vil eg sei eg har sans for dei ansatte i Next, føler dei har kompetanse til å bli eit veldig spennande selskap.

Mvh Nybegynner.
