[Slobo]

Smartoptics-nær insider kjøper aksjer i selskapet for 5 mill
Fountain Venture, et selskap som er nær styremedlem i Smartoptics, Harald Kristoffer Berg, kjøper 481 695 akjser i selskapet til 10,38 kroner stykket.

Fountain Venture betaler med det om lag 5 millioner kroner for aksjene.

Smartoptics ble børsnotert i dag.

[Joasen]

Kjøpte på 10.6 litt høyt når en kunne få til 10.38…

[Joasen]

Så at det var en del selgere på 11 i dag, skjult salg, en kompis tok 20k aksjer og fikk fullt når det var 16k synlige til salgs. Tror selgerne må få komme seg ut før vi vår en fin oppgang videre

[Slobo]

Ja det kan hende, tror de fleste “flipperne” har solgt seg ut snart.

Her er Oslo Børs sin video, på Youtubekanalen deres, da Smartoptics kom på Euronext Growth igår:

[Joasen]

Virker som knivingen er størst rett under 10, det har vært en salgspost på 20k pluss som har flyttet seg jevnt nedover, samtidig som aksjer under 10 blir spist opp.

[Slobo]

Ja, men kursen har likevel holdt seg ganske bra rundt emisjonskursen.
Jeg avventer om jeg vil øke beholdningen litt i løpet av sommeren…

[Joasen]

Økte i dag under 10, håper at når folk er lei av MVW og BCS kommer litt hype over her, evt når kursmål blir satt.

German network operator GASCADE Gastransport GmbH has chosen Smartoptics’ open line system for multiservice Data Center Interconnect

Oslo, Norway - October 28, 2021 - Smartoptics, a leading provider of optical
networking solutions, today announces that German gas transport company GASCADE
Gastransport GmbH, has chosen Smartoptics’ open line system for multiservice
…

Vis børsmeldingen

Data Center Interconnect (DCI). The new solution is based on Smartoptics’ DCP
-M40-PAM4-ZR (Flexible Open Line Systems - Smartoptics) and
transports 10G, 40G as well as 8G and 16G Fiber Channel (FC) traffic over
separate DWDM channels.

GASCADE Gastransport GmbH operates one of the largest natural gas
infrastructures in Germany. The vast network of pipelines connects five European
countries and guarantees secure energy supply in Europe today and in the future.

Under the contract, two of GASCADE’s datacenters have been equipped with the DCP
-M40 Open Line System. The solution offers the capability to deliver 40 DWDM
channels that can carry multiservice traffic with data rates from 1G to 400G
over distances up to 80 km. Initially, GASCADE’s system carries two redundant
links with 10G, 40G, 8G FC and 16G FC channels but additional channels can
easily be added as demand changes.

Yannick Völker, Network Manager at GASCADE Gastransport GmbH, comments: “We were
looking for a point-to-point DCI solution which was cost-efficient and could
support multiple services. We needed the solution to be easy to install, operate
and maintain. It was also essential that it was easy to expand, both in terms of
channels and other traffic formats. Smartoptics solution was a perfect choice
for us as it met these requirements in a small footprint with low power
consumption.”

“Smartoptics has a strong track record of providing highly efficient DCI
networking solutions. GASCADE’s requirements are a perfect match with the
strength of our solutions, we are very proud to have been selected as
supplier.”, says Magnus Grenfeldt, CEO of Smartoptics.

Smartoptics Group AS (SMOP) - Q3 2021 financial results

Oslo, 12 November 2021 - Smartoptics Group AS today reported its results for the
third quarter 2021. In Q3, recognized revenue grew by 20 percent Y/Y to USD 11.1
million. Adjusted EBITDA rose to USD 1.3 million from USD 1.1 million in Q3
…

2020, implying an adjusted EBITDA margin of 11.3 percent. Operating profit
(EBIT) was USD 1.0 million in the quarter, resulting in an Operating margin of
9.0 percent. Cash flow from operating activities was USD -3.2 million, compared
to USD -0.9 million in Q3 2020, as result of increased inventory to mitigate
semiconductor shortage and higher share of revenues coming late in the quarter.

“The third quarter was a continuation of the growth journey that Smartoptics is
on. The period was characterized by continued high activity, which resulted in a
solid 20 percent revenue growth for the quarter. Our adjusted EBITDA rose to USD
1.1 million, providing us with a healthy 11.3 percent EBITDA margin,” said
Magnus Grenfeldt, Chief Executive Officer of Smartoptics. “We continue to
experience high customer engagement levels and appreciation of our products both
in terms of network design and cost levels. We’ve been winning business both
with 100G, 400G (DCP-M line systems), as well as our newer products (DCP-R and
DCP-F) designed for a multitude of applications, including 5G mobile backhaul,
which is significant driver behind the ever-growing demand for bandwidth.”

Smartoptics’ customer base includes thousands of enterprises, governments, cloud
providers, Internet exchanges as well as cable and telecom operators in the
Nordics, U.S., Europe, and APAC. The products are based on in-house developed
hardware and software for optical data networks, enhanced through associated
services.

“The underlying strong demand for Smartoptics’ products is reflected in the
record-high order booking figures in the third quarter. Orders booked amounted
to USD 15.2 million, an increase of 73 percent compared to Q3 2020. The increase
in orders booked is predominantly driven by good traction with large accounts,
especially in the U.S., and to some extent customers placing advance orders for
2022 delivery, spurred by uncertainties regarding component lead times,” said
Grenfeldt.

While the global semiconductor shortage had a more significant impact on
Smartoptics during Q3 in the form of USD 0.5 million in delayed revenue, the
company maintained a positive and constructive dialogue with customers and there
were no cancellations of orders. Smartoptics expects supply constraints to
continue during the first half of 2022.

“We are prepared for a situation where the component shortage impact could
increase in the coming quarter resulting in delayed revenue. We estimate that
already-booked orders in the range of USD 3-5 million will be pushed into 2022.
However, even with this expected delay of shipments and revenues, we expect that
the 2021 full-year revenue growth compared with 2020 will end comfortably within
the communicated 20-35 percent range,” said Grenfeldt.

“Given the high level of business activity and solid underlying demand in the
market driven by increasing data traffic and the need for higher capacity, we
remain confident in achieving our long-term goals of growing revenue up to
around USD 100 million by 2025/2026, combined with increased profitability and
EBITDA margin of 15-18 percent,” Grenfeldt added.

Please find enclosed Smartoptics’ Q3 interim report and the presentation
material related to the report.

Smartoptics will host a presentation of the results by CEO Magnus Grenfeldt and

The growth in the market segment disaggregated solutions is expected to be around 15% per year over the coming years. The growth is fueled by strong growth in data traffic, driven by for example 5G network roll-outs, internet of things, cloud computing and video streaming.

“Smartoptics is well positioned to benefit strongly from this market growth. Customers choose to build their network with this software defined approach to optimize both CAPEX and OPEX by breaking vendor lock-in and focus on best of breed solutions for each function in the network. Smartoptics has an opportunity to grow fast in this market segment for many years to come and projects have already been won based on this solution”, continues Kent Lidström.

This financial implication of the R&D grant is a cash contribution in the range of USD 600 thousand, of which 60% for 2021 and 40% for 2022.
