January – March 2022, The Group
- Net sales amounted to SEK 4,810 thousand (5,757)
- Costs totaled SEK -16,593 thousand (-12,518)
- The operating loss before appropriations and taxes was SEK -10,789 thousand (-6,257)

Net sales decreased with 16 percent to SEK 4,810 thousand (5,757). The Annual Recurring Revenues (ARR) decreased with 7 percent to SEK 18,130 thousand (19,400). The absolute majority of the revenues were recurring software subscriptions. The Gross margin continued to be high at 94 (90) percent for the quarter. About half of the Net sales reduction was a result of less hardware sales, also the root cause for the increased Gross margin. The increase in cost mainly comes from additional sales resources in our wholly owned U.S. subsidiary. The Order backlog, Order intake that at the end of the period remains to be recognized as Net sales, increased 10 percent to SEK 15,532 thousand (14,117).
The Order intake for the quarter was significantly lower compared with last year and decreased 54 percent to SEK 3,259 thousand (7,137). The main reason being absence of larger deals during the quarter. The first quarter 2021 had one large three-year-order and one large two-year-order totaling some SEK 3 million in order value. The difference in Order intake from hardware was about SEK 0.5 million less in Q1 2022.
Note that the wholly owned U.S. subsidiary (XMReality Inc.) since Jan 1st 2022 has been upgraded to a profit and loss Business unit resulting in all financial reporting going forward will be at group level.
