OSLO, NORWAY – 25 April 2023 – During the first quarter, Zwipe continued to see positive interest in bringing biometric payment and access control cards to markets globally.

Significant events during the period

  • Zwipe completed a rights issue, raising approximately 100 mNOK.
  • Antworks Money, a neo-banking platform from India, selected Zwipe to offer biometric payment cards (“BPCs”) in the region.
  • Civix and Zwipe initiated a proof-of-concept with Safe Skies at the Richmond International Airport in the US.
  • Wahyukartu, one of Indonesia’s leading smart card manufacturers (“SCM”) and personalization bureaus (“perso bureau”), partnered with Zwipe to deliver biometric payment cards in Indonesia.
  • Unicard, a provider of secure solutions in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) and a subsidiary of Inkript, partnered with Zwipe to bring biometric cards to Saudi Arabia and the MEA region.
  • CardLogix, a global supplier of smart cards for authentication, encryption, biometric and other card operating systems, partnered with Zwipe to provide biometric access cards.

Significant events after the period

  • On 12 April, TBHP, one of the largest bureau and service providers of cards in Vietnam, announced a partnership with Zwipe to launch biometric payment cards in Vietnam.

Operational review

The most significant event in Q1 2023 was the successful completion of the rights issue, with Zwipe securing approximately 100 mNOK in new capital that will be used to accelerate go-to-market strategy and commercialization of Zwipe Pay and Zwipe Access solutions.

The first quarter saw Zwipe continue to expand our pipeline of SCMs and go-to-market partners by signing Wahyukartu in Indonesia, Unicard in Saudi Arabia, Antworks Money in India, and TBHP in Vietnam – all representing expanded geographic potential for Zwipe in bringing biometric payment cards to new markets.  The company also continued to make progress carrying out pilot projects in the active execution phase. Some issuers are now communicating to Zwipe’s SCM customers that they will move directly to soft launch rather than undertaking pilot projects, something which should see more immediate revenue results for Zwipe.  On the technology side, mobile enrolment solutions for Android and iOS were released on Apple’s AppStore and Google Play and Zwipe also released our Software Development Toolkit (SDK) for customers and partners.

While Zwipe continues to see strong interest in BPCs and the use case remains convincing, the pace of pilot launches and market adoption continues to be slower than Zwipe or other players in the market expected. That said, Zwipe remains convinced that the material benefits of BPCs remain clear for all and that market adoption will happen soon.

While progress with Zwipe Pay has been slower than desired, the first quarter saw tangible progress and excitement for Zwipe Access. Our North American partner Civix launched a Proof-of-Concept (“POC”) project at Richmond International Airport, carried out in conjunction with National Safe Skies Alliance, Inc. Also in North America, Zwipe signed a significant partnership agreement with CardLogix, a smart card provider that already provides access control solutions to our target end customers and is now adding Zwipe’s biometric solution to their portfolio. The company attended ISC West in March and came away from the event with 20+ qualified leads and potential partners, ranging from system integrators to security engineering companies to direct end customers. The first quarter also saw Zwipe make significant progress with Swedish and broader Nordic partners, aiming to reach Nordic enterprises with high security needs.

The above developments in the USA and Nordics translate into 15+ access control proof of concept projects targeted to be executed in the coming months at end-user sites.  While it is too early to estimate immediate revenue potential from these engagements, Zwipe believes the bigger picture revenue potential is substantial.

Commercial priorities for 2023 remain unchanged, but the company has substantially reduced our planned expenditures for 2023. This should prolong funding towards the commercial inflection point and keep the average net monthly burn rate lower than 2022. 

Financial review

Zwipe reported total revenue of 1.7 mNOK during Q1 2023 compared to revenue of 0.6 mNOK in Q1 2022. After adjusting for transaction costs related to fundraising, cash flow from operations was –24.7 mNOK versus –25.4 mNOK in Q1 2022, equating to an underlying average monthly operating cash flow in Q1 2023 of –8.2 mNOK versus –8.5 mNOK in the same period last year. With the successful completion of the rights issue, cash and cash equivalents stood at 121.9 mNOK at the end Q1 2023 compared to 130.6 mNOK at the end of Q1 2022 and 50.5 mNOK at the end of 2022.

Operational update presentation

CEO Robert Puskaric and CFO Danielle Glenn will do a short presentation on the operational update today, Tuesday April 25th, at 10:00 CET.

3.  Approval of the notice and the agenda

The Board proposes that the annual report and financial statements for 2022 for the Company and the Group are approved.

Matter no. 6: Remuneration to the auditor

The Board proposes that the auditor's fees are paid as per accounts rendered.

Matter no. 7: Election of members to the Board

Subject to the AGM's approval, the Board for the period from the AGM in 2023 until the AGM in 2025 will comprise:

  • Jörgen Lantto, Chair of the Board
  • Dennis Jones
  • Tanya Juul Kjaer
  • Christina Örn
  • David Chew  

Mini-CVs for Christina Örn and David Chew have been included in the report from the Nomination Committee.

Matter no. 8: Remuneration to the members of the Board and the members of the Nomination Committee

The Nomination Committee makes the following recommendation:

Fees to the Board for the period from the AGM in 2022 until the AGM in 2022 were resolved by the AGM on 23 May 2022.

Fees to the Board for the period from the AGM in 2023 until the AGM in 2024 is suggested as follows:

  • Chair of the Board:    NOK 260,000
  • Members of the Board:     NOK 130,000

As to remuneration, the Nomination Committee proposes that no remuneration is paid to the members of the Nomination Committee.

Matter no. 9: Proposal on implementing a new incentive program towards the Company's employees and key personnel

The Company's compensation committee has in cooperation with specialists on incentive programmes in the Swedish company Novare Pay Consulting assessed the various aspects of the current SIP program, including the taxation of the options. Based on its assessments and input from Novare, the Compensation Committee has presented a new proposal for a long-term incentive scheme directed towards the Company's leading employees and other key personnel in the form of so-called restricted share units ("RSUs").

The main rationale behind the proposal of the RSU plan is to create a long-term ownership, being expected to stimulate an increased interest in the business and performance development. The Board believes that it is in the interests of all shareholders that executive personnel and other key employees who are important for the Company's development, have a long-term interest in a positive development of the Company's share price.

The vesting period for the RSUs is four years from award. RSUs will only vest if the average annual total shareholder return during the vesting period exceeds 10%. Vested RSUs will be settled in shares at vesting, where one RSU gives the right to one share. The Company will be entitled to settle vested RSUs in each instance with a cash settlement. The Board proposes that a maximum of 1,076,230 RSUs may be granted to participants in the RSU plan, which corresponds to a maximum dilution of approximately 1.8% percent of outstanding shares in the Company.

Based on the assumptions that all RSUs under RSU plan are granted and vested, a share price of NOK 10.4 at the time of settlement of the RSUs and an average percentage for social security contributions of 20%, the total costs for the program including social security contributions, is expected to amount to approximately NOK 6.3 million whereof NOK 2.2 million refers to social security contributions.

The RSU plan is suggested to replace the current option plan. Following resolution to adopt the RSU plan, no more options will be granted to employees. However, already granted stock options may be exercised.

Matter no. 10: Proposal on authorizations to the Board on capital increase

The Board proposes that two new authorizations for the Board on capital increases are issued, (i) to fulfil the Company's incentive programs and (ii) to strengthen the Company's equity.

The Board proposes that the AGM adopts the following resolution:

1. Authorization for capital increase to fulfill the Company's incentive programs

The Board is hereby granted authorization to increase the share capital of the company on one or several occasions, with up to NOK 293,038.80 (2 930 388 new shares), equivalent to approximately 5.0% of the registered share capital at the time of this resolution.

2. Authorization for capital increase to strengthen the Company's equity

The Board proposes that the AGM renews the authorization to the Board to issue shares corresponding to up to 15% of the share capital, and the new authorization shall be restricted to issue shares to strengthen the Company's equity to the extent the Board considers this to be in the Company's best interest at the given time.

The Board is hereby granted authorization to increase the share capital of Zwipe AS with up to NOK 876,206.00 (8,762,060 new shares) on one or several occasions. The authorization may be used to issue shares to strengthen the Company's equity to the extent the Board considers this to be in the Company's best interest at the given time.

OSLO, NORWAY – 30 March 2023 – Zwipe AS ("Zwipe" or "the company") has today released its Annual Report 2022, including the Board of Directors report and financial statements. The report and annual accounts were approved by the Board of Directors after the close of business on 29th of March 2023. The 2022 Annual Report is attached to this release and available at https://www.zwipe.com/investors/reports.

Significant events 2022

  • The board of Zwipe proposed a fully guaranteed rights issue raising approximately NOK 100 million.
  • 172% Q/Q revenue growth in Q4 and strongest quarterly sales revenue in Zwipe history.
  • Visa and Mastercard both certified the Zwipe Pay Biometric Payment Card (“BPC”) platform, followed by four Smart Card Manufacturer (“SCM”) customers receiving their Visa Letter of Approval (“LoA”) and one SCM receiving their Mastercard LoA for cards built on the Zwipe Pay platform. 
  • Zwipe was chosen by Placard and a respected Tier-2 SCM in Europe to deliver BPCs to their bank issuer customers. 
  • Seven new issuers across Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East and Africa signed up with Zwipe to launch BPC pilots.
  • Civix announced a partnership with Zwipe to bring biometric access control cards to airports in the USA and elsewhere in the Americas.
  • Fraport AG chose Zwipe for a pilot project on biometric access control at Frankfurt Airport, with Zwipe successfully completing the project and short-listed as a supplier when the project moves to commercial tender.

2022 operational review

In 2022, Zwipe achieved several significant milestones and entered an “execution first” strategic phase. The company finalized technological development of the Zwipe Pay product and received both Visa and Mastercard certification, becoming the first biometric payment card platform available for sale on the open market to be certified by both major payment schemes. 

A primary focus for the company in 2022 was executing our signed issuer pilots, with seven issuer pilot projects in the execution phase. During the second half, we implemented software changes related to biometric performance in Zwipe Pay cards and also updated our internal test procedures. These changes resulted in a more robust product and enhanced payment transaction experience that is expected to lead to faster completion of ongoing pilot projects as well as a significantly faster pace of new project launches in the coming quarters – with streamlined execution and commercial launch in all areas.

2022 also saw the company establish Zwipe Access as a separate business line with substantial revenue potential.  We completed an important pilot project for Fraport AG at Frankfurt International Airport, with Zwipe shortlisted as an access control solutions provider when Fraport moves forward with its commercial tender process in 2023. We further reinforced our strong position in the airport vertical when Civix, a leading US provider of airport security solutions, selected Zwipe’s access control technology to augment their airport security propositions. The partnership with Civix is representative of our go-to-market strategy in access control to work with system integrator partners and distributors to bring our solution to market rapidly. 

2022 financial review

Zwipe reported total revenues of 3.9 mNOK during 2022 vs. 2.5 mNOK in 2021, reflecting an underlying increase in Zwipe Pay revenues of 72%. Total operating expenses were 108.1 mNOK in 2022 compared to 85.5 mNOK in 2021. After adjusting for one-off, non-recurring costs in 2022 and receipt of a government grant in 2021, operating expenses increased to 102.2 mNOK in 2022 from 92.6 mNOK in 2021. Adjusted EBITDA was -96.4 mNOK in 2022 compared to -81.7 mNOK in 2021.

Underlying net cash use in operating activities in 2022 averaged 9.0 mNOK per month, an increase of 41% from 2021. This was mainly due to higher personnel costs, but non-recurring charges also inflated the 2022 monthly average burn rate and are not expected to continue.

On 31 December 2022, cash and equivalents were 50.5 mNOK, down from 152.3 mNOK at the end of 2021. Total equity at the end of the year was 54.6 mNOK, while total liabilities were 13.0 mNOK. This resulted in an equity ratio of 81%, down slightly from 91% at end 2021.

On 22 November 2022, Zwipe announced a rights issue raising approximately 100 mNOK in capital, with the transaction now being completed. The rights issue was fully guaranteed through a combination of subscription commitments and underwriting commitments from the three largest shareholders in Zwipe. It was carried out in order to strengthen the company’s financial position and enable the transition from start-up to scale-up and achieve larger-scale commercialization. The fundraising will ensure the Group has sufficient working capital for the period covering at least 12 months from the date of close.

Conclusion and going forward

Zwipe ended the year on a positive note with sequential quarterly growth of 172% in Q4 revenue and thesingle largest commercial order in a quarter to date. There is reason to believe that the markets for Zwipe Pay and Zwipe Access are nearing an inflection point for increased commercial adoption of biometric technology solutions. Zwipe has good commercial traction, and expects more positive news flow in coming quarters.  Our goals for 2023 include: executing the technology roadmap, completing the current R&D projects and maturing Zwipe technology to meet evolving demands; accelerating go-to-market for Zwipe's solutions to achieve large commercial scale; increasing our customer pipeline; supporting our SCM customers in becoming certified and mass production ready; executing more pilot projects in a streamlined manner; and continuing to invest intelligently in people and technology.

The aforementioned actions are expected to lead to positive business outcomes in 2023.

In said announcement, it was stated that the Company received subscriptions for a total of 24,194,533 Units, corresponding to approx. 41.4% of the Units offered, during the subscription period for the Rights Issue.

Approximately NOK 24.5 million of the Rights Issue was guaranteed through subscription commitments and so-called bottom guarantee commitments. Furthermore, the Company had received a so-called top guarantee commitment of an amount corresponding to approximately NOK 10.5 million. In the event that the top guarantor had to fulfill its top guarantee commitment, the subscription amount was be paid to the Company by the top guarantor subscribing for a convertible loan in the Company (the "Convertible Loan"). The total subscription price for the Convertible Loan would be equivalent to the total subscription price of the Rights Issue, minus the subscription price of the Units subscribed by the existing shareholders of the Company and the Units subscribed by the bottom guarantors. However, the subscription price would not be less than NOK 5.0 million.

Based on the subscription rate of the Rights Issue, the size of the Convertible Loan will be NOK 10,514,472. The Convertible Loan is due on 20 December 2024 (the "Maturity Date") and an interest of 10% p.a. + 3-month STIBOR. The Convertible Loan shall either be repaid or converted to shares by the top guarantor within the Maturity Date. The subscription price per share upon conversion of the Convertible Loan shall be 130% of the subscription price in the Rights Issue, i.e., NOK 0.78 per share.

AUSTIN, TEXAS and OSLO, NORWAY  12 December 2023 – Zwipe, the global leader in biometric payment and access cards, has partnered with HID, the worldwide leader in trusted identity solutions, to release a recycled PVC prelaminate for its biometric smart card Zwipe Pay.

Recycled card materials are vital for achieving sustainability goals. Every year, about 3 billion payment cards, predominantly made of PVC, are issued globally. Replacing new PVC with recycled ones reduces waste and limits the influx of new plastic. More than 500 million “eco-friendly” cards, from recycled materials, PLA or PET-G, will be distributed in 2023, and this number is set to exceed 1 billion cards by 2025.

HID offers a prelaminate exclusively made from 100% recycled PVC designed specifically for producing biometric smart cards. When paired with the Zwipe Pay IC Module and fingerprint sensor, smart card manufacturers have the essential components to produce eco-friendly biometric smart cards that meet Mastercard Card Quality Management (CQM) requirements, including the use of sustainable materials in any new card issued as of 2028.

The recycled PVC prelaminates for Zwipe Pay are globally available for order now.

“With a strong focus on sustainability, HID is driven by the belief that technology can be harnessed to not only enhance security and convenience, but also minimize our environmental footprint. Our partnership with Zwipe represents a bold step towards a future where secure, convenient, and eco-friendly solutions meet at the intersection of cutting-edge technology and environmental responsibility,” said Martin Brezina, Vice President of Lux-Ident Business Unit at HID.

Patrice Meilland, Chief Strategy and Product Officer at Zwipe, added, "We are delighted to be first to market a recycled PVC biometric smart card platform. We are very happy that HID was able to support our request for a recycled PVC option timely and with impressive quality."
