Høvik, 20 August 2021: House of Control (HOC) reported 49% year-on-year revenue
growth to NOK 40.6 million in the second quarter of 2021. Annual recurring
revenue (ARR) increased by 54% to NOK 169 million. The growth is supported by
acquisitions, and organic revenue growth was 21% and organic ARR growth 22%.

"New sales continued at a strong pace also in the second quarter, supported by
both a larger sales force and the introduction of new products such as Complete
Procure. Organic growth and acquisitions have lifted the number of active
customer accounts by more than 40% over the past year, to more than 1,600, and
we maintain high prospecting and sales activity into the second half of the
year. It is very encouraging to see the strong momentum and fighting spirit in
all our departments and markets," says CEO Lasse Sten in House of Control.

The company is investing heavily in continued growth and has more than doubled
the workforce over the past year. This affects current earnings, and the company
reports a break-even EBITDA of NOK 0 million for the second quarter. This
included special cost items of NOK 4.0 million. Adjusted EBITDA was NOK 4.0
million, corresponding to an adjusted EBITDA-margin of 10%. 

For the first half year, revenues increased by 49% year-on-year to NOK 80.3
million, with a reported EBITDA-loss of NOK 4.6 million and a positive adjusted
EBITDA of NOK 3.0 million.

In April, House of Control acquired Business Analyze AS to provide customers
with user-friendly business intelligence dashboard solutions that integrate both
own and third-party offerings. The employees have been integrated into House of
Control teams during the quarter, with the sales and development teams fully up
and running.

House of Control reiterates its long-term target to build an ARR base of NOK 500
million by the end of 2025, with an EBITDA margin above 40%.
