NEXT: NEXT Biometrics Q4 Revenue Update

NEXT Biometrics Group
NEXT Biometrics had contracted orders for Q4 above Q3 reported revenue. However,
booked revenue in Q4 amounts to NOK 13 million. The shortfall is due to the
Indian government temporarily pausing all new business within the Adhaar system
following security incidents with a competing technology to the NEXT Active
Thermal. This situation is believed to be short-lived, and will benefit NEXT
going forward.

The Indian government has decided to increase security levels in the Adhaar
system, and all vendors are required to pass the new tests before resuming
business. It is assumed that some of NEXT competitors will not fulfill the new
security requirements, and therefore NEXT expects increased market share.

A specific date for reopening of business has not been communicated, but the
Adhaar program is vital to a large part of the Indian population, and the pause
is believed to be lifted soon. NEXT expects to deliver the unfulfilled orders in
Q1, along with further orders to follow up business as usual.

NEXT will publish the Q4 report on February 19th.
