QUARTERLY REPORT
Q4 2014 UNAUDITED

Message from the CEO
Q4 2014 represented a strong quarter for Cxense with a record number of 34 contracts signed compared to
22 in Q3 2014. A large part of our sales growth is due to our DMP, and the company is well positioned to
continue to grow within this segment in 2015. Media is our largest vertical by revenue, but with our DMP,
we are able to approach other market segments such as E-commerce and the Enterprise market. In addition
to the effects from the DMP, our global sales organization is performing well with solid backing by the rest of
the organization. Our R&D department is steadily improving our software suite with new functionality, and
our Global Operations Team are taking well care of our customers before launch of our software. The cost
reduction announced in our Q3 2014 report is moving forward as planned, and though the full effect of the
reductions will be realized in June 2015, we will experience significant effects already by March 2015. With
continuing revenue growth and cost reduction, combined with the recent equity issue raising USD 7million,
Cxense is well positioned for 2015.
Yours sincerely
Sta le Bjørnstad
CEO
Cxense ASA

Q4 2014 in Brief
The SaaS revenue model (software-as-a-service) represents a predictable revenue stream from our clients.
Contracts are normally signed for 12 months with auto renewal; hence we build a long-term relationship
with our customers. The currency adjusted group revenue run-rate1 in December 2014 was USD 18.3m
compared to 16.4 m in September 2014, a quarterly growth of 12%, which translates to an annualized
growth rate of 57%. The growth in the run rate was driven by a record order intake in Q4 2014 with 34
contracts signed in the quarter compared to 22 contracts in Q3 2014. The strong growth proves the
increased momentum for our software suite in the market. About 40% of the new contracts came through
upselling to existing clients making additional purchases. Our DMP (Data Management Platform) continues
to gain momentum, and we experience continued demand from the publishing- and e-commerce segments
for this solution. In addition, we have also seen the Enterprise market starting to develop, and we have
strong expectations for the Cxense DMP in this vertical. The signing of Commercial Bank of Dubai in
February 2015 is a strong evidence that Cxense has a value proposition for this vertical. The DMP accounted
for 37% of the new recurring revenue on contracts closed in Q4 2014.
The streamlining of the organization, announced in our Q3 2014 report, is progressing according to plan. By
removing overlapping recourses the organization is reduced from 118 FTEs (full time employees) at the end
of Q3 2014 to 95 FTEs. Consequently, the operating opex base will be reduced by more than 20 percent,
from more than USD 1.9m per month to USD 1.5m per month. More than 80% of the cost effect will be
realized by March 2015 and 100% by the end of June 2015. The streamlining of the organization has led to a
simplified organizational model with less administrational functions and more people in sales. We have also
set up a new large account sales team. This group consists of our four best sales people, and we have high
expectations from this team in 2015.
We have organized our direct sales in five sales regions: North America (NorthAm), Latin America (LatAm),
Europe and Middle East (EMEA), Asia and Pacific (APAC), and Japan. As earlier communicated, the NorthAm
region, struggled in Q2 and Q3 2014 to establish its market presence, but Q4 2014 saw a positive shift for
our NorthAm operation based out of New York. Customers like Times Publishing Company, Philadelphia
Media Networks and Deseret Digital Media signed up for the Cxense software-as-a-service suite in NorthAm.
EMEA, our largest region measured in revenue, continued to build its market share with significant
contracts such as Børsen and TV2 Denmark. APAC sales region is in its early stages, but is gaining
momentum and signed with the South China Morning Post (SCMP). Last but not least, LatAm showed strong
performance by signing 5 contracts in the quarter.

The table above shows a SaaS segment EBITDA allocation by geography. The allocated EBITDA is adjusted for one-off costs and provisions
and the expected full effect of the cost reduction program executed in Q4 2014.
In February 2015 we launched our Cxense Insight online subscription service. Historically Cxense has been
doing direct sales only, but by introducing this internet-based subscription model where clients can access
Cxense.com, register, and pay by credit card for usage of certain offerings in our software suite, we are now
augmenting our direct sales model with online client self-service sales. With a strong direct sales team in
each of our five regions, as well as the new large account team and the online subscription model, we believe
we have created a solid and robust sales model that will enable Cxense to grow going forward. Combining
the three sales channels, we have increased our sales force from 20 representatives in Q3 2015 to 27 in Q4
2014.
Q4 2014 SaaS revenue reached USD 3.59 million, a YoY growth of 35% compared to Q4 2013. Q4 2014
revenues were negatively affected by the strong USD appreciation during the quarter. Currency adjusted Q4
2014 revenues were USD 3.80 million compared to Q3 2014 revenues of USD 3.53 million, which translates
to an annualized organic growth rate from Q3 to Q4 of 34%.
The Q4 2014 gross margin for the SaaS segment reached 84% percent in Q4 2014, compared to 81 percent
in the two last quarters. We have worked hard to increase the efficiency of our datacenter operations, and
now experience the effect of this optimization. The gross margin is expected to continue to vary somewhat
also going forward, as new datacenters are opened to further scale with the number of clients and
corresponding traffic increases.
The Q4 2014 EBITDA was USD -3.3 million. Adjusted for the expected full effect of ongoing cost reductions
as well as one-off items in Q4 2014, the underlying EBITDA stood at USD -1.5 million.
SaaS segment accounts receivables were down 30% from net 60 days of revenues outstanding in Q3 2014 to
42 days in Q4 2014.

Cxense raised USD 7 million in a private placement in January 2015. 65 % of the subscribed amount came
from new shareholders. In addition we have an ongoing subsequent offering towards the investors that
were not able to participate in the private placement. We expect these two fund raisings to capitalize the
company until it grows into profitability.
Q4 2014 saw the launch of significant new product features related to support for editorial dashboards in
Cxense Insight. By providing views specially tailored towards the needs of editors and online newsrooms
and how they use and act upon real-time site information, the functionality of Cxense Insight in this area
now matches or surpasses that of editorial specialized vendors. The updates have been very well received
by Cxense customers.
The Cxense DMP also saw several major improvements in Q4 2014. The DMP allows for easy and powerful
definition of user segments, and to use this segment membership information for precise high-yield
individualized targeting in a wide variety of systems, both third-party systems such as Google DFP as well as
Cxense Content, Cxense Display and Cxense Advertising. In Q4 Cxense R&D further extended the core DMP
backend to allow for the ingestion of performance data (e.g., information about clicks and impressions) from
any external system. This is an enabler for several differentiating features to be launched in Q1 2015 as it,
e.g., allows for unprecedented insights and extremely powerful reporting capabilities by joining the external
performance data with the full treasure-trove of data collected by the Cxense platform.
Within the advertising area, during Q4 2014 Cxense R&D came up with substantial innovations by, e.g.,
conceiving and developing the concept of 3D ads. 3D ads represent a novel and eye-catching presentation
mechanism which was launched early Q1 2015 to great acclaim in the industry.

Condensed Financial Report
Q4 2014 Group revenue for continued operations amounted to USD 4.15 million, an increase of USD 0.9
million compared to Q4 2014 revenues of USD 3.2 million. The Cxense Group has two business segments:
Cxense Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and Cxense Publisher Controlled Advertising Networks (PCAN). The
increase in group revenue is due to the steady growth in the number of external customers in the SaaS
Segment, the acquisition of Emediate in November 2013 and steady growth within the PCAN business
segment. The Q4 2014 revenue from the SaaS Segment was USD 3.59 million for external customers and
inter-segment revenue was USD 0.06 million. The SaaS segment revenues relates predominantly to sales of
recurring software licenses and some implementation services. Revenue from the PCAN segment was USD
0.62 million which comes from sale of online advertising.
The Q4 2014 group cost of sales amounted to USD 1.0 million, compared to USD 0.88 in Q4 2013. The SaaS
Segment cost of sales for Q4 2014 was USD 0.57 million, while the PCAN segment cost of sales was USD 0.47
million. Cost of sales within the SaaS segment predominantly relates to the hosting of the software
applications used by our customers. Cost of sales within the PCAN segment relates to revenue share paid to
publishers providing their advertising space, as well as agency commission paid to advertising agencies. The
Q4 2014 gross profit for the SaaS segment amounted to USD 3.0 million and USD 0.15 million for the PCAN
segment.
The Q4 2014 employee benefit expenses were USD 4.6 million, compared to USD 3.0 million in Q4 2013. The
increase is attributable to a higher average number of employees in Q4 2014 compared to Q4 2013, an
increase in shared based payments from USD 81 thousand in Q4 2013 to USD 135 thousand in Q4 2014 as
well as one-offs on salary and social cost provisions in Q4 2014 of USD 345 thousand related to the cost
reduction initiative that was executed during the quarter.
The Cxense SaaS organization reduced staffing from 118 employees at the beginning of the quarter to 95 at
the end of Q4 2014, a reduction of 23 employees due to the organizational optimization. Of the 95
employees, there are 40 employees within the R&D organization. Furthermore, 33.5 work within Sales &
Marketing, whereof 27 within front-end sales. 16 work within Operations, and 5.5 within Management,
finance & admin.
The depreciation and amortization in Q4 2014 were USD 365 thousand, compared to USD 211 thousand in
Q4 2013.. This increase in depreciation and amortization in Q4 2014 compared to Q4 2013 is attributable to
the acquisition of Emediate Group where the excess value was capitalized to the balance sheet and
amortized over a five-year period (only 2 months amortizations were included in Q4 2013), and the
depreciation of hosting cost investments in second half of 2014.
The Q4 2014 goodwill that relates to the Emediate acquisition was USD 3.8 million, the same amount as in
Q4 2013. The Q4 2014 goodwill amount has been tested for impairment.
17
Excluding the excess value and goodwill from the Emediate acquisition the group has limited intangible
assets. The large distributed cloud-based systems operated by the Company are predominantly hosted on
platforms leased by large reputable hosting suppliers and thus do not lead to investments in fixed assets.
However, in Q3 2014 Cxense invested USD 290 thousand in owned hosting infra-structure. The estimated
monthly saving compared to the leased solution being replaced is USD 32 thousand, with full effect from Q4
2014.
The group R&D costs are expensed in full (i.e. not capitalized to the balance sheet).
Other operating expenses amounted to USD 2.1 million in Q4 2014 compared to USD 1.9 million in Q4 2013.
The majority of the expenses are related to travel, marketing and external consulting (audit, legal and
other).
In Q4 2014 other operating expenses were positively affected by the restating of IPO cost from other OPEX
to equity following the final settlement of VAT calculations and advisor fees, and a R&D refund in Australia.
Q4 2014 other OPEX was negatively affected by restructuring provisions for rent, provisions for a new
invoice solution for the group, provision for bad debt and write down of assets related to the Emediate
acquisition. The various effects are summarized in the Financial Summary table on page 9.
The Finance income in Q4 2014 was USD 0.32 million largely relating to interest earned on bank deposits
arising from the share issue proceeds raised in June. Finance income in Q4 2013 was USD 0.09. Finance
expenses, mostly relating to currency expenses, amounted to USD 0.23 million in 2014 and USD 0.1 in Q4
2013.
Income tax expense for Q4 2014 was USD 0.26 million compared to USD 0.02 in Q4 2013. In general the
income tax expense arises in the Cxense SaaS subsidiaries in USA, Japan and Australia that perform Sales &
Marketing and Research & Development activities for the parent company based on inter-company
agreements (with arm’s length pricing principles). In Q4 2014 the tax expense was higher than normal due
to a write down of a withholding tax asset of USD 318 thousand following a Cxense Finance assessment that
the asset may not be presented according to IFRS accounting principles. The Company still has the tax asset
and plans to use it when growing into profitability and a tax position. The Company also has a substantial
tax loss carried forward (see annual report tax notes). The amortization of excess values from the Emediate
acquisition also had a positive Q4 2014 tax effect of USD 70 thousand (negative cost). The tax expenses are
estimates only, with full reviews currently being performed.
The group net loss from continuing operations amounted to USD 4.12 million in Q4 2014, compared to USD
2.8 million in Q4 2013. This represents a Q4 2014 loss of USD 0.11 per share, compared to a loss of USD 45
per share in Q4 2013. There was conducted a 1/200 share split in Q2 2014. See note 7 for details.
During Q3 2013 the accounting entries for sale of the PCAN subsidiary were finalized and recorded,
resulting in a gain of USD 0.14 million. Full details of the sale of the PCAN subsidiary are outlined in
Note 4 to the accounts.
18
Total assets at the end of Q4 2014 amounted to USD 15.6 million compared to USD 23.3 million at Q4 2013.
The decrease is predominantly due to the decrease in intangible assets as a result of the amortization of the
intangible assets following the purchase price allocation of the Emediate acquisition, reduction in trade
receivables and a decrease in cash and cash equivalents.
Trade receivables stood at USD 2.15 million 44 days of inventory3) at the end of Q4 2014, compared to USD
3 million (84 days) at the end of Q4 2013. The decrease in Q4 2014 receivables is due to good collection
progress during the quarter as well as the year end one-off receivable provision in Q4 2014.
The Q4 2014 cash position amounted to USD 2.8 million compared to USD 8.8 million at the end of Q4 2013.
In January 2015 the company conducted a private placement of 550.000 new shares, each sold at a price of
NOK 100 per share, and thereby raised USD 7 million in new equity.
Total current liabilities at the end of Q4 2014 were USD 5.6 million compared to USD 5.8 million at Q4 2013.
Net cash flow used in operating activities was USD 2.3 million in Q4 2014, compared to USD 1.3 million in
Q4 2013. Q4 2014 cash flow from operations was affected negatively restructuring costs.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 General information
Cxense ASA, which is the parent company of the Cxense group (the Group), is a Public limited liability
company incorporated and domiciled in Norway, with its corporate headquarters in Oslo. The Group is a
global technology company delivering innovative and intuitive products that help companies build unique
online experiences. Cxense ASA is listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange, ticker symbol CXENSE.
The company’s Board of Directors approved the financial statements on February 25, 2015 after close of
business on Oslo Stock Exchange.
Note 2 Basis of preparation and accounting policies
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are
set out below.
The quarterly report is prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and International
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) published by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB)
and all interpretations from the Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC), which has been
endorsed by the EU commission for adoption within the EU. The quarterly report is prepared using the same
principles as those used for the 2013 annual report.
The quarterly report is unaudited.
The going concern assumption has been applied when preparing this interim financial report
The preparation of the consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with IFRS and applying the
chosen accounting policies requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions
are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions
are reviewed on a continuous basis.
Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the
revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects
both current and future periods. When preparing these consolidated interim financial statements, the
significant judgments made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources
of estimation uncertainty, were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements as of
the period ended 31 December 2013.
There has not been any changes or transactions with any related parties that significantly impact on the
Group’s financial position or result for the period.

(1) All of operating income in 2013 comes from the six months ending 30 June, since the subsidiary was sold
effective from 1 July 2013.
At the end of Q2 2013 Cxense negotiated an agreement to sell the PCAN subsidiary PPN AG to
Tamedia AG, the Swiss based media group. The transaction is effective as of July 1, 2013. PPN
AG is presented as discontinuing operations through out this report.
Tamedia AG has been the most significant publisher in the Publisher Controlled Advertising
Network alongside a number of other publishers in the Swiss market. Tamedia states that the
rationale for the transaction is to improve the control of PPN and to use PPN as part of their
strategy to develop an exclusive networked advertising offering for their online publications.
Tamedias intention is to continue to cooperate with the other existing publishers in PPN around
click-based performance advertising.
One hundred percent of the shares in PPN AG were sold for USD 103 thousand. Net assets from
PPN AG included in the consolidated accounts as of June 30, 2013 and presented as "held for sale" is USD 5 thousand. The final transaction values have subject to a separate audit of the PPN

and subscription rights programs.
