CHALLENGING MARKET IN CAPACITIVE SENSOR SPACE
Weak sales development due to strong competition in the capacitive sensor market
Market dominated by a few vendors that were early to enter the market
OEM requirements have made it hard for us and our customers to break current market dominance
Competing for large projects at some of the leading OEMs
EDGE-TO-EDGE DISPLAYS OPEN UP FOR NEW SENSOR TECHNOLOGIES
Smartphones with edge-to-edge displays a priority for smartphone manufacturers
Increased interest in ultrasound and optical sensors, which enable fingerprint sensing in and under-display
Ultrasonic and optical sensors will open new opportunities for us and our customers
We are engaged in several projects - Initial product launches expected in the first half of 2018
FURTHER OPPORTUNITIES IN MOBILE BIOMETRICS
The mobile device will include all our important documents - Increased risk for fraud attacks
Precise BioLive enhances security by protecting the fingerprint sensor against fake fingers
Evaluating how to further develop our offering through complementary biometric modalities and solutions
Biometric solutions are the safest way to protect devices, users and transactions against fraud
GROWING INTEREST IN BIOMETRIC SMART CARDS
Consumer acceptance of fingerprint technology will drive integration into new product areas
Fingerprint technology is the natural choice for authentication in a wide range of products
Successful trials generate commercial interest with payment providers to deploy biometric payment cards
We are involved in several biometric card projects and have discussions with many players in the card industry
R&D investments in existing and new sensor technologies, new product areas and local customer support
Precise BioMatch Embedded upgrade meets industry performance requirements and provides cost effectiveness
Significant biometric performance improvements of Precise BioMatch Mobile
Strong cost control and balanced investments that allow continued innovation
CONTINUED INNOVATION OF BIOMETRIC SOLUTIONS
Positive outlook despite revenue decline during the quarter
New sensor technologies open up new possibilities already next year
Interest in biometric cards is becoming more concrete and we are well positioned in this area
Biometrics will continue to replace passwords. We intend to drive and be part of this development in the future
Full-year revenues for the remaining operation are expected to be in the range of SEK 60-70 Million
Operating loss for 2017 as a consequence of lower sales
