NEXT to showcase flexible fingerprint sensor technology for smartcards, at this year’s
Cartes/Trustech tradeshow in Cannes/France, November 29th - December 1st.

close to 100% of the targeted population. Having already secured the first two volume
smartcard orders within the fingerprint sensor industry we remain confident that NEXT
is uniquely positioned within this massive opportunity space. «

« At Cartes we will be showing our flexible sensor in the format of polysilicon sheets as
well as singulated sensors. For the first time, we will also demonstrate fully functional
demonstrators of our technology built into 0.76 mm (ISO ID-1-thickness) rigid
smartcards. You will find us in Hall Lerins at Booth C016. « said Radek Matyasek, Vice
President EMEA & SmartCard Segment Sales.

22.11.2016 08:00:01: NEXT Biometrics Group ASA interim report as at 30 September 2016

Highlights
-MNOK 28.4 in Sales vs MNOK 26.6 in Q2
-First 1 million sensors shipped
-Generation 2 Sensors implemented in all modules
-Generation 2 ASIC in testing stage and on track
-Second volume Smart Card Sensors design win - 250K units

Status
Product: Implementation of the new generation low power, high yield sensor was
completed in all modules late in Q3. Significantly higher yield rates contributed to
COGS reductions from September onwards.

The first versions of the second generation ASIC was completed and testing
commenced. The project is on track for implementation and volume module deliveries
with major effects from Q3-17. This project represents major component reductions and
will bring the company modules to its long targeted cost levels.

The Company continues in close collaboration with its strategic partner INNLOUX, to
make advancements in its activities targeting flexible sensor mass production capacity
within the end of Q2 2017. In parallel a range of system level activities are proceeding
targeting volume deliveries of the worldÂŽs first fully ISO-compliant flexible sensor Smart
Cards in H2 2017.

Sales and market: The Company focuses its resources on quality dependent market
segments that require high uncompromised levels of security and convenience coupled
with the ability to serve close to 100% of a given population. These markets include
Smart Cards, NEXT-Enabled markets, traditional markets, high-end security focused
smartphones and notebooks where the NEXT technology is uniquely positioned. The
Smart Card segment is the primary focus for the Company. NEXT believes to hold
fundamental competitive advantages within this market. Early Smart Card customer
projects involve significant value propositions. The Company has over the last 12-18
months identified significant opportunities within several major Smart Card market
segments.

The Smart Card order announced in April demonstrates the attractive early stage
commercial viability of the Company Smart Card activities. The April order is followed
by a new design win (announced in November) with an Asian governmental customer
project for an initial amount of 250.000 flexible sensors. The project is targeted to start
in H2 2017 following completion of the on-going ramp-up project with the Company’s
mass production partner, INNOLUX.

Profit & loss statement
Operating revenue in the third quarter of 2016 was MNOK 28.4, compared to MNOK
26.6 in the previous quarter and MNOK 0.2 in the third quarter of 2015.

For the first three quarters of 2016 revenue amounted to MNOK 60.3 compared to
MNOK 2.9 for the first three quarters of 2015.

So far in 2016 several of the initial cost elements related to production and delivery are
still one-offs or temporary and do not provide a clear and relevant indication of cost of
goods sold. Significant improvements were realized late in Q3 and this continues into
Q4 and Q1. The company expects the operation mode to normalize from Q1-17 and to
make a leap in terms of margins from the introduction of the new ASIC from Q3-17.

Payroll expenses amounted to MNOK 8.7 in the third quarter of 2016, compared to
MNOK 16.4 in the previous quarter and MNOK 14.4 in the corresponding quarter of
2015. The reduction in payroll expenses in the third quarter of 2016 is explained by a
reclassification of stock options of MNOK 3.7 from salary to operating expenses. In
addition, social security tax of MNOK 5.7 was reversed. Adjusted for these two effects
the payroll expenses amounted to MNOK 18.0, corresponding to MNOK 16.4 mill in the
previous quarter.

Payroll expenses for the first three quarters of 2016 amounted to MNOK 40.9 compared
to MNOK 33.1 for the first three quarters of 2015. The increase was mainly due to
increased R&D employees in the US and operations staff in Asia.

Other operating expenses amounted to MNOK 62.1 in the third quarter of 2016,
compared to MNOK 60.7 in the previous quarter and MNOK 15.5 in the corresponding
quarter of 2015. The increase from the corresponding quarter last year of MNOK 46.6
was mainly related to higher costs of goods sold due to increased sales. The R&D costs
included in other operating expenses are MNOK 15.6 in the third quarter of 2016,
compared to MNOK 18.7 in the previous quarter and MNOK 7.6 in the corresponding
quarter of 2015.

Other operating expenses amounted to MNOK 160.2 for the first three quarters of 2016
compared to MNOK 44.9 for the first three quarters of 2015. The increase of MNOK
115.2 was mainly related to increased sales and R&D costs.
Total R&D expenses, included in both payroll and other operating expenses, amounted
to MNOK 77.2 for the first three quarters of 2016, compared to MNOK 38.7 for the first
three quarters 2015 (see note 4).

Depreciation and amortisation amounted to MNOK 1.1 in the third quarter of 2016
compared to MNOK 0.8 in the previous quarter and MNOK 0.7 in the corresponding
quarter of 2015. For the first three quarters of 2016 depreciation and amortisation
amounted to MNOK 2.9 compared to MNOK 1.8 for the first three quarters of 2015.

Investments amounted to MNOK 0.3 in the third quarter of 2016 compared to MNOK 0.8
in the third quarter of 2015. Investments for the first three quarters of 2016 amounted to
MNOK 0.4 compared to MNOK 17.8 for the first three quarters of 2014. The main
investment in the first three quarters of 2015 was the MNOK 15.5 investment in coating
technology tools completed in the second quarter of 2015.

Net financial items amounted to a net cost of MNOK 1.0 in the third quarter of 2016
compared to a net cost of MNOK 0.2 in the previous quarter and a net gain of MNOK 0.5
in corresponding quarter of 2015. For the first three quarters of 2016 net financial items
amounted to a net cost of MNOK 1.7 compared to a net income of MNOK 2.4 for the first
three quarters of 2015. The decrease was mainly related to foreign exchange gains and
losses.

Net loss in the third quarter of 2016 was MNOK 44.4 compared to a loss of MNOK 51.5
in the previous quarter and a loss of MNOK 29.9 in the corresponding quarter of 2015.
Improved yield after introduction of the new sensor reduces the production costs and is
the major sources of the improvement from Q2 to Q3. Net loss for the first three
quarters of 2016 amounted to MNOK 145.4 compared to a loss of MNOK 74.0 for the
first three quarters of 2015.

NEXT operated at a loss and did not incur deferred or payable income taxes for the first
three quarters of 2016 or in 2015, except for an insignificant amount in the fourth
quarter of 2015.

Cash and cash equivalents amounted to MNOK 157.0 by the end of the first three
quarters of 2016 compared to MNOK 130.2 by the end of 2015. The operations,
including investments, consumed cash in an amount of MNOK 54.7 in the third quarter
of 2016 compared to MNOK 54.3 in the previous quarter and MNOK 30.6 in the third
quarter of 2015. Total amount for the first three quarters of 2016, including
investments, amounted to MNOK 162.7 compared to MNOK 83.9 for the first three
quarters of 2015.

The net proceeds from the private placement of 200,000 new shares in July 2016 wer
MNOK 25.5. In addition, 207,125 incentive stock options were exercised in the beginning
of September and gave net proceeds of MNOK 3.6. The Company’s share capital is
NOK 15,158,980, divided into 15,158,980 shares with a par value of NOK 1 per share.

Equity amounted to MNOK 221.5 by the end of the first three quarters of 2016
compared to MNOK 172.7 by the end of 2015 and MNOK 90.1 by the end of the first
three quarters of 2015. This was mainly due to the net proceeds of MNOK 160.0 in the
second quarter and the net proceeds of MNOK 29.1 in the third quarter described above
and the loss of MNOK 145.4 for the first three quarters of 2016.

Outlook (3-9 months)
-Q4 Sales in level with previous quarters
-Strong focus on flexible sensor mass production ramp-up H1-2017
-Continued progress and negotiations with major players in the Smart Card industry
-Further improved production yields and higher production capacity
-Implementation of second generation major cost down ASICs
-Continued focus on NEXT-Enabled segments

MÅL MARKNADSANDEL SMARTA KORT HÖGRE ÄN 20-30% 2020 - VD (Direkt)
2016-11-22 12:03
STOCKHOLM (Direkt) Norska Next Biometrics har som mÄl att ha en marknadsandel som Àr högre Àn den norska konkurrenten Idex marknadsandel.

Tidigare i november uppgav Idex vd Hemant Mardia för TDN Finans att bolaget siktade pÄ en andel pÄ 20-30 procent inom fingeravtryckssensorer för smarta kort runt Är 2020.

Next Biometrics siktar högre Àn sÄ:

“Vi har en mĂ„lsĂ€ttning om att bli störst. Om de tĂ€nker sig en andel pĂ„ 20-30 procent, mĂ„ste vi bli större Ă€n sĂ„â€, sĂ€ger Tore Etholm-IdsĂže till TDN Finans.

Next har inte haft konkurrens pÄ de kontrakten som bolaget hittills har blivit tilldelat inom smarta kort.

“Men det kommer att vara olika beroende pĂ„ profilen av kontrakten, bland annat med tanke pĂ„ kraven pĂ„ sĂ€kerhet och sĂ„dant”, sĂ€ger Tore Etholm-IdsĂže.

Just sÀkerhetskraven lyfter Next-chefen fram som bolagets största fördel gentemot konkurrenterna nÀr det kommer till kontrakt med myndigheter och finansiella bestÀllare. I vissa andra delsegment rÀknar Next med mer konkurrens, menar han.

NEXT BIOMETRICS
KAN BLI FLER SMARTCARD-KONTRAKT FRAMÖVER - VD (Direkt)
2016-11-22 10:24
STOCKHOLM (Direkt) Norska Next Biometrics uppger att man kan förvÀnta sig flera kontrakt kring smarta kort framöver och att det Àr ett bra driv i marknaden för smarta kort.

Det sade Tore Etholm-IdsĂže till TDN Finans i samband med tisdagens rapportpresentation.

“Vi Ă€r positivt överraskade över hur mĂ„nga mellanstora, attraktiva delsegment som finns inom smarta kort runt om i vĂ€rlden, och hur mĂ„nga `early adoptersÂŽ det finns i vĂ€rlden. Vi kan hoppas pĂ„ flera meddelanden kring smarta kort framöver”, sade han.

Tore Etholm-IdsÞe uppgav vidare att en eventuell förnyelse av kontraktet med Dell förmodligen inte kommer förrÀn tidigast under 2017.

“2016 Ă„rs kontrakt varar till in i 2017, men sĂ„ smĂ„ningom kommer det behövas fattas ett beslut, men jag tvivlar pĂ„ att det kommer före jul”, sade han till TDN Finans.

Mycket integrationsarbete pÄgÄr i Dell, som en följd av förvÀrvet av EMC, vilket har inneburit viss fördröjning i arbetet.

Förhandlingarna med Dell rör sig kring flera saker, men primÀrt om prestanda och pris. Next har förlorat pengar i det första avtalet, men rÀknar med att tjÀna pÄ det nÀsta avtalet eftersom den nya sensorn, andra generationens ASIC, har betydligt lÀgre produktionskostnader.

“Vi kommer att vara 70 procent billigare Ă€n konkurrenterna med sensorer av samma storlek med den nya ASIC:en. Vi kommer att fĂ„ goda marginaler i alla segment nĂ€r vi börjar leverera den”, sade han.

SPÅR NEG BRUTTOMARG 4KV, MEN NÅR BREAK-EVEN UNDER KV- FC (Direkt)
2016-11-22 09:28
STOCKHOLM (Direkt) Det norska biometribolaget Next Biometrics kommer att ha en fortsatt negativ bruttomarginal under det fjÀrde kvartalet i Är, men kommer att nÄ break-even under kvartalet.

“Vi Ă€r inte sĂ„ lĂ„ngt ifrĂ„n en positiv bruttomarginal för kvartalet som helhet, men vi fĂ„r inte det i det fjĂ€rde kvartalet. Men vi nĂ„r break-even under kvartalet”, sade bolagets finanschef Knut StĂ„len vid rapportpresentationen pĂ„ tisdagen, rapporterar TDN Finans.

Han sĂ€ger att bolaget inte fĂ„r en full effekt med “behagliga marginaler” förrĂ€n det börjar leverera de nya sensorerna, andra generationens ASIC, i slutet av andra kvartalet 2017. Den stora effekten frĂ„n ASIC 2 kommer emellertid inte förrĂ€n i tredje kvartalet 2017.

Next Biometrics vd Tore Etholm-IdsÞe uppger att ingen konkurrent kommer att vara i nÀrheten av dem vad gÀller produktionskostnader, nÀr de vÀl börjar leverera andra generationens ASIC.

“Ska konkurrenterna uppnĂ„ liknande kostnadsnivĂ„, mĂ„ste de komma ned pĂ„ sensorer med sĂ„ liten storlek att det blir ointressant för aktörer som Dell”, sade han vid rapportpresentationen, enligt TDN Finans.
