Pexip in 2024: A year of progress,
partnership, and impact
A strong position in an attractive market with relevant products, driven by an efficient and
committed organization that’s ready to capture growth in 2025.
While 2023 was about laying the groundwork for
growth with a return to profitability, 2024 centered
on streamlining the organization around a single
mission: to make seamless communication available
to all organizations, regardless of technology
platforms or security requirements. This approach
has led to outstanding performance across sales
and product innovation. Our collaboration with
partners including Microsoft, Zoom, Nvidia,
Google, and HP Poly has created significant market
momentum, and the Pexip team has truly embraced
our ‘world championship’ mindset. We earned the
trust of a range of large global enterprises and
government organizations, including healthcare and
defense institutions, that count on Pexip to solve
their complex communication challenges. These
significant wins are evidence that we are operating
in attractive markets, with relevant products –
putting us in an excellent position to kick off a new
year of opportunities.
Video interoperability is increasingly
important
Interoperability is a key requirement, as it is clear
that there will be more than one video meeting
platform in the market. End users expect seamless
LETTER FROM THE CEO
Annual Report 2024

Highlights About Pexip Statement from the BoD Corporate Governance FinancialsHighlights
interoperability, and in delivering this we hold a
leading position due to our solid partnerships with
major industry players. Our belief is that every video
meeting room should be able to connect seamlessly
to any type of video meeting, ensuring high quality
while leveraging the key native features of the room
system. We aim to provide an easy and intuitive user
experience, which is at the heart of our mission and
the reason we build the solutions we do.
For the past 12 years, Pexip has been a leading
provider of interoperability solutions for large
organizations around the world. Our extensive
experience and expertise have led major players
in the digital workspace, such as Microsoft and
Zoom, to choose us as partners in developing future
solutions. In 2024, we launched new solutions
that enhance the capabilities of Teams Rooms and
Zoom Rooms, allowing users to easily join and take
advantage of the meeting experience of any other
platform, directly from their meeting rooms. By
introducing these next-generation solutions, we are
reinforcing our position as the global leader in this
space.
Some meetings are more private
than others
Not all video meetings are the same, and there is
an increasing demand for private solutions, either
as alternatives or supplements to public hosted
platforms like Teams. Customers want control
over their data, and with rising cyber threat levels,
organizations are turning to Pexip for self-hosted
and private cloud solutions that provide ultimate
ownership. We empower organizations with secure-
by-design solutions for their private, confidential,
or classified meetings, ensuring that the meeting
platform remains under their control at all times.
It’s their meeting, their content, their data, and their
rules.
We also see AI functionality has become integral to
video conferencing, but with the rise of AI-powered
productivity tools come new challenges related to
compliance and privacy. In response to security-
conscious organizations seeking a more private way
to use AI, we launched Pexip Private AI in 2024. We
did this in partnership with Nvidia, offering a fully
self-hosted platform that delivers AI capabilities,
such as live captions and real-time translations,
while giving organizations complete control over
their AI data. The first use case for this solution is
around captioning – speech-to-text – and by the
end of the year we closed our first major sale of
Pexip Private AI to a large healthcare provider.
Growing demand for custom video
workflows
In client and citizen engagement, video will replace
voice and physical in-branch meetings, creating
a need for customized and private solutions. To
provide our customers with a solution that lets
them easily build secure video apps across their
workflows, Pexip launched a completely new
platform: VPaaS (Video Platform as a Service). This
solution meets the growing need for sovereign and
geo-fenced hosting to ensure data control within a
specific territory. We are seeing increasing demand
for this level of flexibility and control, particularly in
the global healthcare sector.
Return to growth
In 2024, we delivered both our financial and
operational targets. We started the year with the
ambition to deliver 5-10% ARR growth and 13-18%
Adjusted EBITDA margin, and I am pleased to see
that we closed 2024 in the high end of both ranges
delivering 10% ARR growth and 18% Adjusted
EBITDA margin. This puts us in a great position to
exceed our previous mid-term targets of delivering
more than 10% ARR growth and more than 20%
EBITDA margin. This is why we are now raising the
bar for ourselves, with a new long-term financial
ambition of achieving Rule of 40.
Collaboration is fundamental to
everything we do
Pexip plays a central role in the collaboration
ecosystem as a specialist provider of solutions that
complement and enhance the value propositions
of major platforms like Microsoft, Zoom, Google,
HP IP Poly, Cisco, and Nvidia, without directly
competing against them. Through our open
and collaborative partnership approach, we are
uniquely positioned as the leading provider of
video interoperability across all endpoints and
technologies. This has allowed us to establish
a solid foundation for growth in an expanding
market, offering customers certified solutions with
exceptional reliability and support.
The future is still customer-first
Exceptional experiences turn customers into
lifelong fans. At Pexip, we believe that being

customer-focused is not just a competitive
advantage – it’s who we are. We seize every
opportunity to deliver a personal touch and
premium care when it matters most, and our
dedication to customers has never been stronger.
As technology rapidly advances, our large

why our customers find it crucial working with
a vendor who understands what they face and
is willing to meet them on their terms. Providing
excellent service to our customers is a key part of
how we measure our success, and it’s the reason
Pexip has earned such loyal fans.
Finding the right success formula matters
At Pexip, we are committed to creating a
welcoming workplace for individuals who thrive
on challenges and are eager to tackle significant
problems in large organizations around the world.
Our goal is to establish and maintain a strong
leadership position in our markets, collaborating
with renowned technology companies and solving

important organizations in the world.
As we navigate a rapidly changing landscape, we

For the past two years, we have embraced a
success formula that reflects our commitment to
collaboration and support, and we will continue
this approach going forward. Together, we are
building Pexip into a successful, inspiring, and
caring place to work.
All about performance
2024 has been a rewarding year for Pexip, and we
want to take a moment to reflect on our journey
together. We’ve made meaningful strides and
achieved our goals, launched new products, and
developed deeper connections with our strategic
partners and customers. None of this would have
been possible without the dedication and belief of
our incredible team.
On behalf of everyone at Pexip, I want to express
our gratitude to our partners, customers,
shareholders, and all our teammates. Your
support is invaluable to us, and we recognize that
our shared success relies on our ability to work
together to create value. We are truly thankful for

continues to rise. In this landscape, Pexip remained a key player in 2024, reinforcing its
position as a vital partner for organizations seeking secure and seamless user experiences to
meet their complex communication needs.
Market overview
The global video conferencing market is evolving
rapidly, marked by significant growth, technological
innovation, and changes in competitive positioning.
Alongside broader market trends, Pexip’s solutions
have become increasingly relevant in 2024.
Since the onset of the pandemic, the video
conferencing market has experienced significant
expansion. Forecasts suggest the market will grow
from approximately USD 10–12 billion in the early
2020s to well over USD 20 billion by 2030, with
compound annual growth rates (CAGR) ranging
from 9% to 11%.

principles. Additionally, there is a growing demand
for private, sovereign, or geo-fenced solutions as
control of data becomes a more important topic
for organizations and governments. A notable
trend in the market is the integration of artificial
intelligence (AI) into video conferencing platforms.
AI is employed to automate routine tasks such as
real-time transcription, language translation, and
meeting summarization, leading to improved overall
productivity. However, with these advancements
come new concerns regarding the privacy of AI data.
Beyond corporate communications, sectors such
as healthcare, intelligence, defense, and justice are
increasingly utilizing secure video meetings, each
with tailored requirements to meet specific needs
and drive further innovation.
Connected Spaces. As companies transition back
to the office, the shift towards hybrid work is driven
by B2B and B2C client and citizen engagement.
This shift increases the demand for cross-platform
interoperability, as users increasingly meet across
multiple platforms, such as when connecting to a
Teams Meeting from a Zoom Room. Another trend
is the need to embed video apps in workflows. This
is particularly relevant for healthcare, justice, and
citizen engagement.
Customers
Large enterprise organizations
These organizations often use multiple meeting
platforms and room devices within their locations,
facilitating internal meetings across different
systems while also connecting with clients and
partners externally. Pexip effectively resolves
interoperability issues and provides an exceptional
user experience. It is favored by customers and
highly recommended by leading meeting platforms
and workspaces such as Teams, Meet, and Zoom,
which can be enhanced through Pexip’s solutions.
Large enterprises, such as those in banking,
pharmaceuticals, and manufacturing, typically
prefer hybrid or multi-cloud environments to
balance security with flexibility and scalability.
The growing demand for compliance and
control has created a need for Pexip’s Secure
Meeting solutions, especially in industries that
handle sensitive data and must adhere to strict
regulations like GDPR, HIPAA, or ISO.
Government and Defense
Pexip is a leading solution provider for
governments and defense organizations
worldwide. Many of its customers require private
clouds or government-certified infrastructure
to address national security and sovereignty
concerns. Some governments mandate that citizen
data remains within their jurisdiction. As a result,
solution providers like Pexip must adhere to the
highest standards of quality, control, and security.
They are also expected to offer global delivery
capabilities, outstanding service, and excellent
user experiences, documentation, and support.
In 2024, Pexip addressed sector-specific needs
by introducing innovative solutions, including
enhancements for the justice system. Furthermore,
Pexip’s offerings for custom applications and
secure video integration into workflows further
solidified its leadership in telehealth. The company
has also strengthened its position in the defense
sector by partnering with one of the world’s
largest defense alliances, onboarding new defense
contractors, and collaborating with key partners
on sector-specific standards such as the Federated
Mission Network.

to any meeting platform. This interoperability
is highly valuable as organizations increasingly
support multiple tools (such as Zoom, Teams,
Webex, Meet, and others) to facilitate work. By
focusing on seamless integration and a user-
friendly experience, Pexip has become the preferred
partner for organizations looking to modernize their
communication infrastructures.
Unique Partnerships: Pexip does not compete
with major players like Microsoft, Zoom, Cisco, and
Google; instead, it enhances their value proposition
by providing a superior and seamless interoperability
experience for their user base. By positioning
itself as an enabler of seamless cross-platform
interoperability, Pexip has become a trusted
partner to several of the world’s leading meeting
applications. Additionally, Pexip has introduced a
partnership with NVIDIA to develop the market’s
first private AI solution for meetings.
Secure & Custom Solutions: In 2024, Pexip’s
modern self-hosted Infinity platform, which
powers the solutions for secure and custom
meetings, experienced significant growth. The
solution is recognized for its advanced security
features and complete data control. To further
develop its leadership position, Pexip launched a
new offering: Video Platform as a Service. This
solution addresses the need for customers to build
secure video apps that can be embedded in their
workflows. A typical use case is within healthcare
and client/doctor meetings. The solution offers
geo-fencing, and advanced features tailored to
specific sector needs.
Pioneering Private AI: Pexip, leveraging NVIDIA’s
Riva SDKs, introduced live captions in secure
meetings in 2024, providing customers with
complete control and ownership of their AI
data. This is just the beginning of the Private AI
features that are set to be released. As a result,
Pexip has established a unique position in serving
organizations that require such control over their
private AI capabilities

About Pexip
Strategy and targets
Pexip’s mission is to provide seamless video communication to all organizations regardless
of technology platforms and security requirements. We do that through developing software
technologies within video communications and in selling this technology to partners and
end-customers. Due to the capabilities of Pexip’s technology, we serve two main markets
with our solutions.
Within the video infrastructure and interop
market, Pexip has a clear leadership in
interoperability between different video platforms.
As one of two main players and the only
independent provider in this segment, we are well
positioned to create and develop partnerships with
other industry players, such as Microsoft, Google,
HP and others. Pexip is serving this market through
system integrator partners that often serve the
customers’ full collaboration needs. This is a mature
market with clearly defined customer needs, and
we are focusing on developing our leadership in
this space and maintaining a healthy and profitable
business. Pexip addresses this market through the
product offering for Connected Spaces.
Within the market for secure and customized
video solutions, Pexip is well positioned for growth
with our unique capabilities to deliver a self-hosted
video platform which is easy to integrate and is
interoperable with a range of video technologies.
This is a fast-growing market with mostly
public-sector customers, and we are investing
in strengthening our technology leadership and
focusing our go-to-market activities towards public
sector customers and system integrator partners
that operate in this market.
Pexip’s short term financial targets are to

recurring revenues and have an EBITDA margin
above 20% with a high cash conversion. In the
longer term Pexip has an ambition to deliver

revenue growth. The company aims to do this
by focusing on niches where Pexip has a unique
competitive advantage and a path to become the

Sustainability at Pexip
Pexip aims to create sustainable value by fully
integrating Environmental, Social, and Governance
(ESG) principles into its business strategy.
In today’s world, video communication has become
essential for organizations to operate effectively.
Pexip’s mission is to provide seamless communication
solutions that cater to all organizations, regardless of
their technology platforms or security requirements.
Our video technology connects everything from
business meetings to ultra-secure government
sessions, medical appointments, and court
proceedings.
As video communication becomes increasingly
prevalent, organizations must carefully consider
who they share their data with and who controls
the technology they use. With hybrid working now a
fundamental part of corporate culture, users depend
on a video communication platform that allows them
to do so easily and securely.
Strategic Focus Areas
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a
collection of 17 interlinked objectives designed to
serve as a “shared blueprint for peace and prosperity
for people and the planet now and into the future”.
The SDGs were adopted by all UN member states in
2015, and represent an urgent call for action by all
countries in a global partnership to make the world a
better place by 2030. A key component of the SDGs
is the principle of collaboration for their achievement,
including between Government, Civil Society, and
Business.
We have identified the following SDGs as ones
Pexip can contribute to:
Pexip’s Sustainability Report
Pexip’s Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) efforts are detailed in the 2024
Sustainability Report. This report offers an overview of Pexip’s key ESG topics and
performance metrics for the year 2024. It has been prepared in accordance with the Global
Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards.
These are Pexip baseline measures for the
following material topics:
• Data security and privacy
• Talent attraction and retention
• Greenhouse gas emissions and energy use
• Ethical business practices
• Diversity and equal opportunity
• Digital inclusion and positive industry impacts
• Health, safety and wellbeing
• Supply chain management
• Intellectual property rights
Pexip is actively addressing critical areas, such as
diversity, inclusion and equal opportunity. Pexip
learns from its partnership with Team Aker Dæhlie
how to deliver equal opportunity to perform, and
has several ongoing practices and forums to assess,
plan, and improve initiatives that ensure diversity and
equal opportunity and in recruitment, succession
planning, and leadership.
Pexip’s commitment to secure communication
through privacy and control of data is unique. The
collaboration with NVIDIA further positions Pexip
as a leader in providing private AI in self-hosted and
private-cloud environments. The growing political
tension worldwide has increased the need for
sovereign solutions where organizations own and
control their data.
Pexip has conducted a human rights due diligence
assessment for its suppliers in compliance with the
Norwegian Transparency Act. The account of this can
be found in the sustainability report.

Statement from the Board
of Directors
In 2024 Pexip continued to deliver on its strategy of building market-leading positions in its
target markets, and through that delivering growth and profitability. Industry partnerships
continue to play a central role, and in 2024 Pexip has both strengthened the partnerships
with its existing partners such as Microsoft and HP and launched new cooperations with
Zoom and Cisco.
The Board sees a strong market opportunity for Pexip, with increased awareness of security
and sustainability among large organizations. Companies and public sector organizations
continue to increase their investments to improve and secure digital communication and
interaction both with their customers and internally, and Pexip is in a good position to
support our customers with this. We continue to see the emergence of several markets
adjacent to the global video and collaboration market where we believe Pexip really has an
edge and the technology to be a key player.
Market environment
Pexip’s ambition is to be the industry leader within
its core markets, which for Pexip is the market for
video infrastructure and interoperability, and the
market for secure and customized communication
solutions.
Within video infrastructure and interoperability,
Pexip believes that technology should work with
existing workflows and systems. With Pexip’s
solutions, users can securely join meetings with
any device and from any location, without the need
for expensive hardware upgrades, downloads or
software installations. With Pexip, organizations
can connect the tools and workflows already in use
and utilize native integrations with Google Meet
and Microsoft Teams, as well as SIP interoperability
to a large range of other platforms. The result is an
optimal user experience, ease of management for
administrators, enhanced return on investment on
existing infrastructure and a reduction in e-waste
as organizations extend the lifetime of their video
conferencing equipment and upgrade it in the most
efficient and sustainable way possible.
Within secure and customized solutions, the
potential use cases of video stretch far beyond
traditional videoconferencing and Pexip is at
the core of this, enabling organizations to make
the most of these possibilities. Video now plays
a critical role in critical communication inside
organizations, safely connecting patients with
healthcare providers, making public services more
accessible to citizens and facilitating business
continuity by enabling both internal meetings and
customer-facing interactions to securely happen
from anywhere. Organizations are impacted by
the heightened global security focus, driven by
both increased geopolitical complexity and cyber
vulnerability, and increasing awareness around
topics such as data security and data sovereignty.
It is becoming more important to have control
over your own data, in addition to the ability to be
compliant with new laws and regulations.
Pexip can deliver solutions that allow organizations
to maintain full data control with an integrated
chat, video and file-sharing solution to ensure
secure communications. In addition, with Pexip,
organizations can use application programming
interfaces (APIs) to build custom branded
experiences and integrate with their chosen
technology and workflows to provide video-enabled
consultations that are easy to join from any device

USD 113.1 million dollars at the end of 2024, up from
USD 102.8 million at the end of 2023. This is a 10%
year-over-year growth, which is in the upper end
of the 5-10% ARR growth ambition the Company
announced for 2024.
Organization and management
There have been no changes to senior management
during 2024. The company’s two main teams are
the commercial team responsible for sales and
customer success in Pexip’s target markets, and
the engineering team responsible for software
development, service operations, support and
product development. In addition the company has
a small headquarter team responsible for people and
development, finance and marketing.
Pexip has worked to continuously optimize its
operations during 2024 by consolidating roles
and removing support functions. This has led to
a modest reduction in staff from 304 at the start
of 2024 to 282 at the end of the year. The current
organization is designed to further execute on
Pexip’s revenue strategy going into 2025 and deliver
on the company’s strategic and financial targets.

centered in Norway and in England and most HQ
functions in Norway. Pexip has legal entities in
Norway, UK, USA, Germany, France, Netherlands,
Belgium, Italy, Spain, Japan, Singapore, Australia
and Malaysia, as well as a registered branch in
Sweden.
Financial review
(Figures in brackets = same period prior year or
relevant balance sheet date).
Consolidated revenue amounted to NOK 1,118.6
million in 2024 (NOK 993.6 million in 2023),
representing a 13% increase year-on-year. The
increase is a result of the ARR increase over the last
year. EMEA was the largest sales area with NOK
567.0 million in revenue (NOK 501.5 million, +13%),
followed by Americas, accounting for NOK 468.7
million (NOK 416.5 million, +13%), and Asia-Pacific
(APAC), accounting for NOK 82.8 million (NOK 75.6
million, +10%).

center and hosting for the Pexip as-a-Service, as
well as some 3rd party commissions and software
licenses. Cost of sale amounted to NOK 105.1

58% of revenue (63%).
Other operating expenses amounted to NOK 152.8

of 14% of the revenue (16%). The reduction is due
to the cost-cutting initiatives and the effects
were realized across multiple cost categories, in
particular on external consultants.
Other gains and losses amounted to a loss of
NOK 15.9 million (NOK 10.9 million). The costs
in 2024 are mainly related to the termination
of employees in order to secure long-term cost

and losses.
Depreciation, amortization and impairment
costs were NOK 81.2 million for 2024 (NOK 199.1
million), of which NOK 3.1 million is related to
impairment of a right-of-use asset. The reduction
is a result of lower depreciation of intangible
assets, lower right of use depreciation related to
leasing as well as a one-off impairment cost in
2023.
Net financial income was NOK 54.6 million (NOK
33.2 million). Pexip had financial income of NOK

invoicing at year-end versus at the start of the year.
Non-current assets amounted to NOK 1,237 million
(NOK 1,252 million at the end of 2023). Contract
costs increased to NOK 325 million (NOK 299

in net additions and NOK 21 million from foreign
exchange translation differences in the subsidiary
companies.
Total liabilities were at NOK 617 million (NOK
466 million at the end of 2023). NOK 2 million are
borrowings (NOK 2 million).
Current liabilities increased to NOK 532 million

Meeting in April 2025, which will be executed as a
repayment of capital upon shareholders approval.

are held by the Company itself.
Outlook
Pexip believes that the market for enterprise-grade
video communication will continue to increase
due to the increased adoption and usage of video
communication. This is driven by a demand for more
flexible work, efficiency and increased awareness
of sustainability. Pexip has unique video technology
with capabilities within security, interoperability,
and flexible deployments. This makes the company
well-positioned as enterprises and public sector
organizations continue to adopt hybrid working
models. Furthermore, Pexip believes in the increased
use of video in organizations’ workflows with their
clients/customers, creating additional new and
significant market opportunities. In particular,
Statement from the BoD
Annual Report 2024

the use of video for mission-critical, high-security
meetings has increased. This is the foundation of
the focused strategy Pexip is executing, pursuing
market-leading positions in Secure and Custom
Video and Connected Spaces.
Pexip’s medium term financial targets are to
consistently deliver above 10% growth in annual
recurring revenues and have an EBITDA margin
above 20% with a high cash conversion. In the long-
term Pexip aims to deliver Rule of 40 performance
across EBITDA and ARR growth rate. The company
aims to do this by focusing on niches where Pexip
has a unique competitive advantage and a path to
become the clear market leader.

Parent Company and Allocation
of Net Profit
Pexip Holding ASA is a public limited liability
company. It has 0 employees, and its activities are
limited to being listed on Oslo Børs and being the
parent company of Pexip AS. Pexip Holding ASA
had a profit of NOK 10.5 million in 2024 (NOK 10.4
million in 2023), mainly related to fees for external
services and operating expenses as well as financial
income.
For 2024 the Pexip Group had a net profit of NOK
117.9 million. The Pexip Group had a free cash flow
of NOK 196.5 million, and a positive change in cash
and money market funds of NOK 105.5 million. As
a result, and due to the strong balance sheet, the
Board will recommend a dividend of NOK 2.5 per
share for 2024 to be paid in Q2 2025.
The gain for the year of the parent company, Pexip
Holding ASA, of NOK 10.5 million has been allocated
in its entirety to dividend.
Environmental, Social and
Governance
Pexip’s ambition within Environmental, Social
and Governance (ESG) is to run the business
in a responsible and sustainable manner over
time, and in a way that contributes to a positive,
trust-based relationship between Pexip, Pexip’s
stakeholders and society. Material topics included
in Pexip’s Sustainability Report were identified in
alignment with GRI’s materiality principle. Pexip
uses SASBs Software and IT Services Standard
and the disclosures contained within it to
represent material ESG topics for the company. All
disclosures from the Standard have been included
in this report. The Sustainability Report can be
found on Pexip’s webpage under https://investor.
pexip.com/ and includes the following material
topics:
• Data security and privacy
• Talent attraction and retention
• Greenhouse gas emissions and energy use
• Ethical business practices
• Diversity and equal opportunity
• Digital inclusion and positive industry impacts
• Health, safety, and wellbeing
• Supply chain management
• Intellectual property rights
Pexip has during 2024 performed a double
materiality analysis in line with the new EU
CSRD regulation. Pexip will publish this and
report its sustainability impact in line with the
new regulation as and if the regulation becomes
mandatory for companies of Pexip’s size, which
currently is estimated at 2025 or later.
Reducing both Pexip’s and the customers’ impact
on the environment when using Pexip’s products
and services is an important focus for Pexip
and the Board, and it will become even more
important in the future. The Board considers
Pexip’s operations to have an overall positive
effect on the global environment. Pexip delivers
videoconferencing services, which can be used to
reduce business travel and commuting, thereby
reducing carbon emissions, and improving
the environment. Pexip’s software also allows
enterprises to increase the lifetime of their
technical equipment through interoperability,

giving the opportunity to reduce e-waste. Pexip
only produces software and software-as-a-service
and does not use products or materials which
are harmful to the natural environment in the
production of its services. Pexip uses waste sorting
and recycling schemes for supplies and materials.
On the other hand, Pexip’s cloud services and
software has a significant power consumption
which has a negative impact. Pexip is using vendors
with clear net zero strategies for their datacenter
operations.
The direct impact of climate change is not expected
to have a material impact on Pexip’s financial
performance and accounts in the short term, as
Pexip has a limited carbon footprint and limited
physical infrastructure which can be impacted.
In the mid-term Pexip expects climate change
awareness to have a positive effect on revenue due
to the positive nature of videoconferencing when it
comes to reducing travel and commuting, improving
the environment as described above. Similarly,
it may negatively impact the cost of operations,
mainly related to data centers and compute due
to increasing cost of electricity. Pexip continues to
monitor potential risks and opportunities related to
climate change.

Pexip aims to be a leading People organization in
the industry and focuses heavily on people and a

Risk and Risk Management
Risk management in Pexip is based on the principle
that risk evaluation is an integral part of all business
activities, and is a part of the annual strategy review.
Pexip has developed its approach to risk assessment
and risk mitigation within financial reporting, and
within information security, where Pexip holds
ISO 27001 and 27701 certifications as an external
recognition of its approach. Pexip’s key commercial,
technological, and operational risk factors are
summarized here.
Operational and Market activities
Pexip may be unable to retain or replace its
management and/or key IT, sales and marketing
professionals. Retaining Pexip’s strong talent and
leadership is vital due to their extensive experience
and skill sets within the videoconferencing and
collaboration industry, which is required to support
and develop Pexip’s projects. It is also vital for Pexip’s
operations to retain or replace its IT professionals
with expertise within information security and
privacy, as well as certain IT professionals within R&D
with skills required to sustain and develop Pexip’s
competitive differentiation. There is a shortage of,
and intense competition for, sales and marketing
professionals with ability and expertise to sell
products and services to large worldwide businesses
and organizations with lengthy procurement cycles
and severe evaluation and negotiation processes.
Pexip may not be able to respond to rapid
technological changes, extend its platform or
develop new services in a highly competitive
market. The communications and collaboration
technologies market is highly competitive and
characterized by rapid technological change and
frequent new product and service introductions.
Pexip’s future profitability depends heavily on
its ability to enhance and improve the platform,
introduce new features and products and interoperate
across an increasing range of devices, operating
systems and third-party applications. There can be
no assurance that any attempts on enhancements to
the platform or new product experiences, features or
capabilities will be compelling to users or gain market
acceptance in a timely and cost-effective manner.
Pexip is exposed to risk related to high upfront
sales and marketing costs, lengthy sales cycles
and unexpected deployment challenges due to
its sales and marketing to large businesses and
organizations. As Pexip’s main focus is on large
enterprise customers, a large proportion of the sales
and marketing costs are related to such customers.
These customers and potential customers have
lengthy procurement cycles and severe evaluation
and negotiation processes due to their leverage,
size, organizational structure, and approval
requirements, and often demand additional features,
support services and pricing concessions or require
additional security management or control features.
Pexip spends substantial time, effort and funds on
sales and marketing efforts to potential customers
without any assurance that this will produce any
sales.
Pexip is exposed to risk related to cyber-threats.
As a technology group that delivers an end-
to-end videoconferencing platform and digital
infrastructure, Pexip and its customers are subject
to cyber-attacks from cybercriminals. Rapid
changes in attack vectors makes it difficult to stop
attacks and adapt to new threats and the increased
social hacking creates a cyber-threat risk for Pexip.
Pexip is exposed to risk relating to system
failures, defects, or errors. Certain applications
offered to customers are hosted on Pexip’s own
servers, running in co-located data centers. Pexip
must maintain continuous data center operations
(including network, storage, and server operations)
to ensure adequate delivery of services. Pexip’s
data center operations may experience disruptions
or outages as a result of human error, equipment
error, cyberattacks, software failure or natural
disasters. Pexip’s platform and services are based
on inherently complex software technology, which
may have real or perceived defects, errors, failures,
vulnerabilities, or bugs in the platform and Pexip’s
products could result in negative publicity or
lead to data security, access, retention, or other
performance issues.
Operational Activities Risk Mitigation
To retain and attract talent, Pexip continuously
invests in strengthening the corporate culture, the
Pexip Way, as well as making sure Pexip is taking
advantage of all available talent through its diversity
initiatives. Pexip has developed a strong sales and
R&D capacity to stay ahead of competition. To
Annual Report 2024
35
Highlights About Pexip Statement from the BoD Corporate Governance FinancialsStatement from the BoD
mitigate risks within cyber security and system
errors, Pexip invests in strengthening its system
architecture, as well as investing in competence
development and awareness training. Since the
founding of the company Pexip has invested in
automated software testing to ensure a robust,
enterprise-grade product offering.
Customer Relationships and Third Parties
Pexip depends highly on existing customers
renewing their subscriptions. Pexip’s offerings
are in a highly competitive communications
and collaboration market, with fluctuating user
satisfaction, demand for products and/or services,
financial position of customers and acceptance
and use of communications and collaboration
technologies in general. Pexip’s business operations
depend highly on renewed subscription by its
existing customer base.
Pexip is exposed to risk related to the
interoperability of Pexip’s platform across devices,
operating systems, and third-party applications.
Compared to its competitors’ solutions, Pexip’s
platform is accessible irrespective of technology
and device, and has integrations with traditional
video equipment, via browser, collaboration tools,
enterprise & internet streaming, and telephony.
Pexip is highly dependent on the accessibility of
its platform across these and other third-party
operating systems and applications that it does
not control. Third-party services and products are
constantly evolving, and Pexip may not be able to
modify its platform to assure compatibility with
that of other third parties following development
changes.
Customer Relationships and Third Parties
Risk Mitigation
Pexip invests substantial resources into R&D
to further develop its offering, and has also
invested in strengthening the Customer Success
methodology. In addition, Pexip has a dedicated
alliance team working with strategic partners to
build joint customer value and explore new areas of
cooperation with its alliance partners.
Laws Regulations and Compliance
Pexip is exposed to risk relating to data protection
and data privacy regulations, licenses, etc. Pexip
receives, stores and processes personal information
and other user data through its business and
operations in multiple jurisdictions. This makes
Pexip exposed to data protection and data privacy
laws and regulations it must comply with, which all
impose stringent data protection requirements and
provides possibly high penalties for non-compliance,
in particular relating to storing, sharing, using,
processing, disclosing and protecting personal
information and other user data on its platforms.
Pexip is subject to laws and regulations in several
jurisdictions, including governmental export and
import controls. Pexip’s platform and products
are subject to governmental export and import
controls that could impair Pexip’s ability to compete
in international and/or national markets due to
specific licensing requirements. Any change in
export or import laws and regulations could result
in decreased use of the Pexip platform or decreased
ability to export or sell subscriptions to the platform
to existing and/or potential customers with
international operations.
Pexip is exposed to risks of claims and legal
proceedings, including intellectual property
right disputes. Pexip may be party to various legal
proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of
its business, including intellectual property rights
disputes. The value of intellectual property rights
is of high importance for Pexip, as it operates in a
highly competitive commercial environment where
the strength of the intellectual property rights may
be an important feature that distinguishes Pexip
from its competitors. It is therefore important for
Pexip to ensure the value and commercial use of
its intellectual property rights. There can be no
assurance that third parties have not or may not
infringed intellectual property rights owned by
Pexip, who may have to challenge such parties’
rights to continue to use or sell certain products
and/or may seek damages from such parties.
Moreover, there can be no assurance that Pexip
may not infringe or be alleged to have infringed
intellectual property rights owned by third parties
who may challenge Pexip’s right to continue to use
or sell certain products and/or may seek damages
from Pexip. Any infringement or other intellectual
property claims made by or against Pexip could be
time-consuming, result in costly litigation processes
Annual Report 2024
36
Highlights About Pexip Statement from the BoD Corporate Governance FinancialsStatement from the BoD
that may result in substantial monetary damages,
cause product delays, divert its management from
their regular responsibilities or require Pexip to
enter into royalty or licensing agreements.
Laws Regulations and Compliance Risk
Mitigation
Pexip actively monitors and adapts to the
development of laws and regulations in the markets
it operates in, especially within the data privacy area
which has seen significant development in recent
years. Industry standard insurance policies are also
in place.
Financial and Market Risk
Pexip’s profitability, operating results and working
capital may fluctuate significantly. Operating in a
global, fast-changing market, Pexip’s profitability,
results of operations and working capital may
fluctuate significantly on a quarterly and annual
basis. The subscription-based revenues may also
fluctuate significantly, both in the short-term and
long-term. Pexip has counterparty risk with regards
to its account receivables, its cash placement in
banks as well as funds held in money market funds.
Working capital may also fluctuate significantly
on a quarterly and on an annual basis, which could
have a material adverse effect on Pexip’s business
and financial performance. This may be caused by
factors beyond Pexip’s control, such as variations
in the timing of orders and deliveries, new product
introductions by Pexip and its competitors,
variations in spending budgets of customers, shifts
in market and industry emphasis and end user
demands, and general economic conditions and
economic conditions.
Pexip is exposed to foreign currency exchange
risk. Because a significant part of Pexip’s business
is conducted in currencies other than its functional
reporting currency (NOK, as defined below)
and Pexip has its majority of ARR in contracts
denominated in USD, Pexip will be exposed to
volatility associated with foreign currency exchange
rates. Exchange rate fluctuations may affect Pexip’s
financial results through translation of the profit
and loss accounts and balance sheets of foreign
subsidiaries into NOK. Currency risks may also arise
when Group companies enter into transactions
that are denominated in currencies other than their
functional currency. Pexip itself is also invoiced
in other currencies than its functional currency,
thus resulting in currency exposure from both a
customer and supplier position. Currency exposure
is the result of purchases of goods and services in
other currencies than Pexip’s functional currency
(transaction exposure) and of the conversion of
the balance sheets and income statements in
foreign currencies into NOK (translation exposure).
Such translation exposure does not give rise to an
immediate cash effect. Pexip does not use financial
instruments to hedge its exposure to foreign
exchange rate risks, and there is no guarantee
that Pexip’s financial results will not be adversely
affected by currency exchange rate fluctuations
or that any efforts by Pexip to engage in currency
hedging activities will be effective.
Pexip is exposed to risk relating to impairment
of intangible assets, including goodwill. The
company’s audited consolidated financial statement
for the year ended December 31, 2024 was prepared
in accordance with the International Financial
Reporting Standards (IFRS), as adopted by the
European Union. As of December 31, 2024, Pexip’s
non-current assets amounted to NOK 1,237 million,
most of which are intangible assets including NOK
599 million in goodwill. Goodwill acquired in a
business combination is not amortized pursuant to
IFRS, but is tested for impairment annually, or more
often, if an event or circumstance indicates that an
impairment loss may have been incurred. The key
assumptions affecting the present value of cash
flows are the development of the net sales (expected
growth rate), profitability, the discount rate and the
growth rate. Changes in the development of the
key assumptions could lead to impairment losses
on goodwill, which could weaken Pexip’s financial
conditions, results of operations, equity and/or its
ability to pay dividends or distributions. At the end
of 2024 there is solid headroom giving a moderate
risk of impairment in the case of an adverse
development in the key assumptions. This is further
described in the notes to the Annual Accounts for
2024.
Financial and Market Risk mitigation
Pexip maintains a robust balance sheet with a
significant cash position in order to fund its growth
investments and working capital needs. In addition,
Annual Report 2024
37
Highlights About Pexip Statement from the BoD Corporate Governance FinancialsStatement from the BoD
the company has very limited interest-bearing debt.
Pexip does not use hedging instruments, but holds
its cash holdings in a range of currencies according
to its main cash outflows and holds money market
funds with low risk counterparties. Pexip currently
has positive headroom in its impairment tests, but
this is sensitive to both changes in cost of capital as
well as future cash flow estimates.
Impact of Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine
The ongoing situation in Ukraine, and the impact
on business in the region is still ongoing. The war in
Ukraine has impacted Pexip in several ways. Pexip
has two remote employees based in the conflict
area and several employees from the involved
countries in other offices. Pexip’s main concern has
been to ensure their safety and offer support to
them in the best way. The financial effect from this
is limited until this date due to a modest market
presence in the region, with the main impact being
loss of potential opportunity. In response to the
attack on Ukraine, several extensive packages of
sanctions towards Russia have been launched. The
imposed sanctions are far-reaching. Norway has
adhered to all EU sanctions. To ensure compliance,
Pexip has ceased all commercial activities in
Russia, Donetsk, Luhansk, and Belarus. The
company regularly assesses, and maps exposures
related to these regions, including relationships
with banks, resellers, and customers with ties to
Russian interests or sanctioned individuals. All such
relationships are thoroughly reviewed to ensure
adherence to international sanctions.
Impact from the current market situation
The global economic and geopolitical situation
has faced challenges during 2024 and remains
uncertain for 2025. In particular there is increased
uncertainty with regards to sanctions and trade
barriers, which may impact Pexip which delivers
its software and software-as-a-service in several
markets across the world. Pexip has a local
presence in its key markets and is continuously
monitoring the development in order to adjust to
and seek to mitigate any regulatory changes.
Corporate Governance
Good corporate governance provides the foundation
for long-term value creation, to the benefit of
shareholders, employees and other stakeholders.
The Board has established a set of governance

A Directors and Officers Liability Insurance is in
place for members of the Board of Directors and
the CEO for their potential liability towards the
Company and third parties. The insurance covers
the Board’s and the CEO’s legal personal liability
for financial damage caused by the performance
of their duties. The insurance additionally covers
any employee acting in a managerial capacity and
includes subsidiaries owned with more than 50%.
The insurance policy is issued by a reputable,
specialized insurer with appropriate rating.

The annual statement on corporate governance for
2024 follows below. The statement was approved by
the Board on March 26, 2025.
1. Implementation and Reporting
on Corporate Governance
The Board is committed to building a sound and
trust-based relationship between Pexip and
the company’s shareholders, the capital market
participants, and other stakeholders.
Pexip’s overall principles for corporate governance
are approved by the Board and can be found at

Pexip complies with the Norwegian Code of
Practice for Corporate Governance (the code) issued
by the Norwegian Corporate Governance Board,
latest edition of October 14, 2021.
The Board’s annual statement on how Pexip
has implemented the code is set out below. The
statement covers each section of the code, and
deviations from the code, if any, are specified under
the relevant section.
2. Business
Pexip’s articles of association are available on
Pexip’s website.
Article 3 of these articles, Pexip’s business
objectives states: “The company’s objective
is to operate, own and/or invest in businesses
or development related to telecommunication
services and telecommunication solutions,
investment in other companies or development
of other businesses, and anything related to the
foregoing”. Within the framework of its articles
of association, Pexip has established goals and
strategies for its business.
Pexip’s objectives and strategies are presented
in the annual report in section “About Pexip”. The
evaluation of Pexip’s objectives and strategies as
well as risk and risk management are described in
the Board’s report. The “Environmental, Social and
Governance” section in the Board’s report covers
considerations on sustainable value creation.
When carrying out its work on defining objectives,
strategies, and risk profiles to create value
for shareholders in a sustainable manner, the
Board takes into account financial, social and
environmental considerations. The Board has
guidelines for how it integrates considerations
related to its stakeholders into its value creation.
The Board evaluates these objectives, strategies
and risk profiles at least yearly.
3. Equity and Dividends
Equity
As of December 31, 2024, Pexip had a consolidated
equity of NOK 1,608 million, corresponding to an
equity ratio of 72%.
The Board considers that Pexip has a capital
structure that is appropriate for its objectives,
strategy and risk profile.
Dividends
In deciding whether to propose a dividend and in
determining the dividend amount, the Board will
Annual Report 2024
41
Highlights About Pexip Statement from the BoD Corporate Governance FinancialsCorporate Governance
comply with the legal restrictions set out in the
Norwegian Public Limited Liabilities Companies
Act and take into account the company’s capital
requirements, including capital expenditure
requirements, the company’s financial condition,
general business conditions and any restrictions
that its contractual arrangements in place at the
time of the dividend may place on its ability to pay
dividends and the maintenance of appropriate
financial flexibility.
The proposal to pay a dividend in any year is, in
addition to any legal restrictions further subject
to any restrictions in the company’s borrowing
arrangements or other contractual arrangements
in place at the time.
The company introduced a policy in 2023
to distribute 50-100% of the free cash flow
generated in the previous calendar year. For
the financial year of 2024, the Board has
recommended a dividend of NOK 2.5 per share,
consisting of an ordinary dividend of NOK 2.0
and an extraordinary dividend of NOK 0.5 as the
board recognizes that the company has excess
liquidity. The company paid a dividend of NOK 1.1
for 2023 after the AGM in 2024, and did not pay
any dividends on its Shares for the financial years
that ended December 31, 2022, 2021, 2020 and
2019.
Board Mandates to Increase the Share
Capital
At the Annual General Meeting of the company
on April 12, 2024 the Board was authorized to
increase the share capital of Pexip for general
purposes by up to NOK 156,000 in one or more
share capital increases through issuance of new
shares. The authorization was only to be used
in connection with (i) capital raisings for the
financing of the company’s business; and (ii) in
connection with acquisitions and mergers. The
authorization can be used in situations described
in the Norwegian Securities Trading Act section

system and, where relevant, the work of the
internal audit function

reporting to the Board on the results of such
monitoring, and whether this reporting makes
it possible for the Board to carry out an overall
evaluation of the internal control situation in the
company and how risks are being managed

weaknesses in internal control that come
to light during the course of the year which
have had, could have had or may have had a

The consolidated financial statements of Pexip Holding
ASA and its subsidiaries (collectively, the Group) for the
year ended December 31, 2024 was authorized for issue
by a resolution of the directors on March 26, 2025.
1.1 Adoption of new and revised accounting
standards
There are no new or changed standards and amendments
for the annual report period commencing on the 1st
of January 2024 that have any material impact on the
amounts recognized or disclosed. The following new
standards have been adopted, through no effect has been
identified;
• Classification of Liabilities as current or Non-current
liabilities with covenants – amendments to IAS 1
• Lease Liability in Sale and leaseback – Amendments
to IFRS 16
• Supplier Finance arrangements – amendments to IAS
7 and IFRS 7
1.1.2 New and revised IFRS standards in
issue but not yet effective
The Group has not early adopted new and revised IFRS
standards published but not mandatory for December 31,
2024 reporting periods.
• Amendments to IAS 21 – lack of exchangeability
of currencies, effective for periods beginning after
January 1, 2025
• Amendments to the Classification and
measurement of Financial instruments –
Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7, effective for
periods beginning after January 1, 2026

IFRS 18 is expected to be pervasive on presentation and
disclosures, in particular those related to the statement
of financial performance and providing management-
defined performance measures within the financial
statements.
Note 2. Accounting principles
2.1 Basis for preparation
The financial accounts for Pexip Holding ASA “the
Parent company” together with its subsidiary Pexip
AS, and its wholly-owned and controlled subsidiaries,
together called “the Group”, have been prepared
following IFRS® Accounting Standards adopted by the
EU (IFRS), relevant interpretations, and the Norwegian
Accounting Act.
The consolidated financial statements have been
prepared on a historical cost basis, except where IFRS
explicitly requires the use of other values.
The Parent company has NOK as its functional
currency; the financial accounts are presented in
NOK, rounded to the nearest thousand if nothing else
is noted. As a result of the rounding differences, it is
possible that amounts and percentages do not add up
to the total.
2.2 Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the
Parent Company’s financial statements and subsidiaries
as of December 31, 2024.
Control is established when the Parent Company is
exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its
involvement with the entity and could affect those
returns through its power over the entity.
60
Highlights About Pexip Statement from the BoD Corporate Governance
Annual Report 2024Financials
Consolidation is done using the acquisition method and
begins when control over the subsidiary is obtained. The
consolidation stops when the control ceases.
Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial
statements of subsidiaries to bring the accounting policies
used into line with the Group’s accounting policies.
Intercompany transactions, balances, and unrealized
gains on transactions between group companies are
eliminated. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless
the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the
transferred asset.
Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive
income (OCI) are attributed to the equity holders of the
Parent Company.
If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it
derecognizes the related assets (including goodwill),
liabilities, non-controlling interest, and other equity
components, while any resultant gain or loss is recognized
in profit or loss. Any investment retained is recognized at
fair value.
A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary,
without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity
transaction.
2.3 Summary of significant accounting
policies
2.3.1 Business combinations and goodwill
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account
for all business combinations. The consideration
transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary comprises
the:
• fair values of the assets transferred.
• liabilities incurred to the former owners of the
acquired business.
• equity interests issued by the group.
• fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a
contingent consideration arrangement, and
• fair value of any pre-existing equity interest in the
subsidiary.
On the acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired
and the liabilities assumed are recognized at their fair
value, except for:
• Deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognized and
measured under IAS 12 - Income taxes.
• Liabilities or equity instruments related to share-
based payment arrangements of the acquiree,
or share-based payment arrangements of the
Group entered to replace share-based payment
arrangements of the acquiree, are measured per IFRS
2 at the acquisition date.
• the value of a reacquired right is recognized as an
intangible asset based on the remaining contractual
term of the related contract regardless of whether
market participants would consider potential
contractual renewals when measuring its fair value.
Acquisition-related costs are recognized in profit or loss as
incurred.
Contingent consideration is classified either as equity or
financial liability. Amounts classified as
financial liabilities are subsequently remeasured to fair
value, with changes in fair value recognized in profit or
loss.
Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the
consideration transferred over the fair value of the net of
the acquisition date amounts of the identifiable assets
acquired, and the liabilities assumed.
Goodwill arising in a business combination is not
amortized. Initially, goodwill is recognized at cost.
Thereafter, goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated
impairment. For the purpose of impairment testing,
goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the
acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group’s cash-
generating units that are expected to benefit from the
combination, irrespective of whether other assets or
liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units. The
carrying amount of goodwill is tested for impairment at
least annually. Impairment losses are recognized directly
in profit for the year and are not subsequently reversed.
on reasonable, relevant, and supportable information and
represent the management’s best estimate.
2.3.2 Foreign currencies
Transactions and balances
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the
respective functional currencies of Group companies at
the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign
currencies are translated into the functional currency at
the exchange rate at the reporting date. Differences in
settlement or translation of monetary items are generally
recognized in profit or loss.
61
Highlights About Pexip Statement from the BoD Corporate Governance
Annual Report 2024Financials
Non-monetary assets and liabilities measured at fair value
in a foreign currency are translated into the functional
currency at the exchange rate when the fair value is
determined.
Non-monetary items that are measured based on the
historical cost in a foreign currency are translated at
the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. The
gain or loss arising on translation of non-monetary
items measured at fair value is treated in line with the
recognition of the gain or loss on the change in fair value
of the item (i.e., translation differences on items whose
fair value gain or loss is recognized in OCI or profit or loss
are also recognized in OCI or profit or loss, respectively.)
Group companies
The Group’s presentation currency is NOK. The results
and financial position of foreign operations that have
a functional currency different from the presentation
currency are translated into the presentation currency as
follows:
• assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented
are translated at the closing rate at the date of that
balance sheet.
• income and expenses for each statement of profit
or loss and statement of comprehensive income are
translated at average exchange rates (unless this is
not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative
effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates,
in which case income and expenses are translated at
the dates of the transactions), and
• all resulting exchange differences are recognized in
other comprehensive income.
2.3.3 Current versus non-current classification
An asset is classified as current when it is expected to
be realized or intended for sale or consumption in the
Group’s normal operating cycle. It is held primarily to be
traded or expected/due to be realized or settled within
twelve months after the reporting date. Other assets are
classified as non-current.
A liability is classified as current when it is expected to
be settled in the Group’s normal operating cycle, is held
primarily to be traded, the liability is due to be settled
within twelve months after the reporting period or if
the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer
settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after
the reporting period. All other liabilities are classified as
non-current.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-
current assets and liabilities.
2.3.4 Revenue from contracts with customers
Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized
when control of the goods or services are transferred to
the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration
to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for
those goods and services.
Revenue from the sale of software licenses
Infinity software licenses are classified as software
licenses where the customer is provided with a right to use
the software for a period of time, typically one year, as it
exists when made available to the customer. Revenue from
distinct software licenses is recognized at the point in
time when the software is made available to the customer
and the right to use the software has commenced. Most of
the Infinity license agreements with customers are annual
contracts. Invoices are generated when the license key is
made available to the customers (at a point in time), and
most invoices are payable within 30 days.
Revenue from the sale of cloud services
Cloud service licenses, “software as a service”, entitle
the customers to use the Pexip software together with
the Group’s IP and production network over the contract
period. Revenues from the sale of Cloud Services
are recognized overtime on a straight-line basis over
the license period. More than 90 % of these license
agreements are yearly prepaid contracts. Invoices are
generated monthly or yearly, and most invoices are
payable within 30 days.
Partner fees
The Group has a partner program that provides the
partner with the right to sell The Group’s services. The
partner receives support, training and access to the
service, and the performance obligations related to partner
fees are satisfied on an ongoing basis. Revenue related to
partner fees is thus recognized linearly over time.
Most of the partner fees are invoiced, as are annual
agreements. Invoices are generated at contract inception
and payable within 30 days.
Revenue from the sale of support and maintenance
The Group offers support and maintenance services
to its customers. For services related to the software
licenses, the performance obligations related to support
and maintenance are satisfied on an ongoing basis,
and revenue related to the sales of services are thus
recognized on a linear basis over time.
Most of the maintenance and support agreements are
related to the license period. Proof of concept (POC) is a
professional service offered for up to 6 months. Revenue
from these contracts is recognized linearly throughout
62
Highlights About Pexip Statement from the BoD Corporate Governance
Annual Report 2024Financials
the contract period. The Group also has customers with
service contracts of 1-3 months. Revenues related to the
sale of services are recognized on a linear basis over time.
Transaction price
The Group determines the transaction price to be the
amount of consideration which it expects to be entitled in
exchange for transferring the promised goods and services
to the customer, net of discounts and sales-related taxes.
Sales related taxes are regarded as collected on behalf
of the authorities. When the contract includes a variable
amount, the Group estimates the amount of consideration
expected to receive from the customer using either the
expected value method or the most likely method. The
method is used consistently throughout the contract. The
Group has few contracts with variable consideration.
The Group uses the practical expedient in IFRS 15 not
adjust for a financing component. Where applicable, the
variable consideration is estimated using the most likely
amount method. The estimate is revised and updated
every quarter.
The Group considers whether there are other promises in
the contract that are separate performance obligations
to which a portion of the transaction price needs to be
allocated.
Contract balances
Contract balances consist of client-related assets and
liabilities. Contract assets relate to consideration for work
complete but not yet invoiced at the reporting date. The
contract assets are transferred to trade receivables when
the right to payment has become unconditional, usually
when invoices are issued to the customers.
When a client pays consideration in advance, or an amount
of consideration is due contrac¬tually before transferring
of the license or ser¬vice. The amount received in advance
is presented as a liability. Contract liabilities rep¬resent
mainly prepayments from clients for unsatisfied or
partially satisfied performance obligations concerning
licenses and services.
Contract assets are within the scope of impairment
requirements in IFRS 9. For con¬tract assets, the
simplified approach is applied, and the expected loss
provision is measured at the estimate of the lifetime
expected credit losses.
Costs of obtaining or fulfilling contracts with customers
The Group pays sales commission to its employees based
on actual sales. Commissions that are incremental costs
of obtaining a contract with a customer are recognized
as an asset if the costs are expected to be recovered.
Subsequently, the asset is amortized on a systematic
basis consistent with the transfer to the customer of the
goods or services to which the asset relates. This is usually
the expected total contract period and includes expected
renewals. The expected contract period is seven and half
years for software licenses and about five years for Cloud
services. Further information regarding commission and
salary is disclosed in note 4.
2.3.5 Government grants
Government grants are recognized with reasonable
assurance that the grant will be received, and all attached
conditions will be complied with. When the grant relates
to an asset, it reduces its carrying amount. The grant is
then recognized in profit or loss over the useful life of
the depreciable asset by way of a reduced depreciation
charge. All government grants in Pexip has been related to
the intangible asset own software development.
2.3.6 Employee benefits
Share Based payment transactions
The Group provides incentives to employees in the form of
equity-settled share-based instruments.
None of the awards that have been issued as equity
settled have been settled in cash previously.
The Company has two incentive programs: share-based
programs for employees and management and key
employees.
Equity-settled share based compensation are measured at
fair value at the grant date and recognized in the income
statement under salary and personnel expenses over the
period—the final right of the options vest. The balancing
item is recognized directly in equity.
The number of options expected to vest at expiry is
estimated on the initial recognition of share options.
Subsequently, the estimated number of vested options is
revised for changes so that the total recognition is based
on the actual number of vested options.
The fair value of the instruments granted is estimated
using either the Black-Scholes model or Monte-Carlo
simulation with the parameters stated in note 24.
The dilutive effect of outstanding options is reflected as
additional share dilution in diluted earnings per share
(further details are given in note 8).
Termination benefits
Termination benefits are payable when employment is
terminated by the group before normal retirement date,
63
Highlights About Pexip Statement from the BoD Corporate Governance
Annual Report 2024Financials
or when the employee accepts voluntary redundancy
in exchange for these benefits. The group recognized
termination benefits at the earliest of a) when the group
no longer can withdraw the offer of termination benefits
and b) when the Group recognizes a restructuring cost
according to IAS 37 that involves termination benefits.
In the case where not all employees have signed a
termination contract as of reporting period, Pexip will
measure the remaining termination benefits based on
expected number of employees that will accept the offer.
2.3.7 Other intangible assets
Intangible assets other than goodwill acquired
separately are measured on initial recognition at cost.
Other intangible assets include software, trademarks,
and client contracts. The cost of intangible assets
acquired in a business combination is their fair value
at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition,
intangible assets are carried at cost less any
accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment
losses.
Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized
straight-line over their estimated useful lives. The
amortization expense is recognized in the statement of
profit or loss. The estimated useful life and amortization
method is reviewed at the end of each reporting period,
with the effect of any changes on estimates being
accounted for on a prospective basis.
Gains or losses arising from the derecognition of an
intangible asset are measured as the difference between
the net disposal proceeds and the asset’s carrying
amount. They are recognized in the statement of profit
or loss when the asset is derecognized.
The estimated useful lives of intangible assets are as
follows:
• Software: 5 years
• Client contracts: 5 years
• Trademarks: 5 years
Research and development costs
Development expenditures are capitalized only when the
following criterion for recognition is met;
• it is technically feasible to complete the software so
that it will be available for use
• management intends to complete the software and
use or sell it
• there is an ability to use or sell the software
• it can be demonstrated how the software will
generate probable future economic benefits
• adequate technical, financial and other resources
to complete the development and to use or sell the
software are available, and
• the expenditure attributable to the software during
its development can be reliably measured.
The assets are amortized over their expected useful life
once the assets are available for use. During the period
of development, the asset is tested for impairment
annually. Development costs that do not meet the
criteria for capitalization are expensed as incurred.
2.3.8 Property, plant, and equipment
Tangible assets are recorded at historical cost, less
accumulated depreciation, and possible impairment.
Depreciation is recorded on a straight-line basis over the
estimated useful life of an asset, which is as follows:
• Land and buildings: 5 years
• Plant and machinery: 3 to 5 years
• Fittings and fixtures: 3 to 5 years
Gains or losses on the disposal of tangible assets are
included in the statement of profit or loss. The residual
values, useful lives, and methods of depreciation of
property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each
financial year-end and adjusted prospectively, if
appropriate.
2.3.9 Leases
The Group as lessee
The Group assesses whether a contract is or contains a
lease at the contract’s inception.
The Group recognizes a right-of-use asset and a
corresponding lease liability concerning all lease
arrangements in which it is the lessee, except for short-
term leases (defined as leases with a lease term of 12
months or less) and leases of low-value assets (such as
tablets and personal computers, small items of office
furniture and telephones). For these leases, the Group
recognizes the lease payments as an operating expense
on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Group
presents interest expense on lease liabilities under
finance expenses and the depreciation charge on the
right-of-use asset under depreciation and amortization
in the profit and loss statement.
Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any
accumulated depreciation and impairment losses and
adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The
cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease
liabilities recognized, initial direct costs incurred, and
lease payments made at or before the commencement
64
Highlights About Pexip Statement from the BoD Corporate Governance
Annual Report 2024Financials
date less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use
assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the
shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of
the assets, as follows:
• Buildings: 2-10 years
• Equipment: 3-5 years
The right-of-use assets are also subject to impairment.
Refer to the accounting policies in section 2.3.11
Impairment of intangible assets and property, plant, and
equipment.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present
value of the lease payments that are not paid at the
commencement date, discounted by using the rate implicit
in the lease. If this rate cannot be readily determined, the
Group uses its incremental borrowing rate.
At the commencement date, the Group assesses whether
they are reasonably certain to exercise an option to extend
the lease or purchase the underlying asset or not to
exercise an option to terminate the lease. This assessment
is reflected in the initial measurement of the lease
contract.
The lease liability is subsequently measured by increasing
the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability
(using the effective interest method) and reducing the
carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made.
The lease liability and right-of-use asset are presented as
separate lines in the consolidated statement of financial
position.
2.3.10 Impairment of intangible assets and
property, plant, and equipment
Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite
useful life are not subject to amortization and are tested
annually for impairment or more frequently if events
or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount might be impaired. Other assets are tested for
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
An impairment loss is recognized as the amount by which
the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable
amount. The recoverable amount is the higher asset’s fair
value, lower disposal costs, and value in use. To assess
impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels.
There are separately identifiable cash inflows largely
independent of the cash inflows from other assets or
groups of assets (cash-generating units). Non-financial
assets other than goodwill that have historically
been impaired are reviewed for possible reversal of
the impairment at the end of each reporting period.
Disclosures relating to impairment testing are found in
note 11.
2.3.11 Taxes
The period’s income tax expense or credit is the tax
payable on the current period’s taxable income, based
on each jurisdiction’s applicable income tax rate,
adjusted for changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities
attributable to temporary differences, and unused tax
losses.
Current income tax
The current income tax charge is calculated based on
the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end
of the reporting period in the countries where the Group
operates and generates taxable income. Management
periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns
regarding situations in which applicable tax regulation
is subject to interpretation. Management establishes
appropriate provisions based on amounts expected to be
paid to the tax authorities.
Deferred tax
Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability
method, on temporary differences arising between
assets and liabilities’ tax bases and their carrying
amounts in the consolidated financial statements.
However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognized if
they emerge from the initial recognition of goodwill.
Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and
laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by
the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply
when the related deferred income tax asset is realized,
or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred tax assets are recognized only if it is probable
that future taxable amounts will be available to utilize
the temporary differences and losses.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there
is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets
and liabilities. The deferred tax balances relate to the
same taxation authority. Existing tax assets and tax
liabilities are offset. The entity has a legally enforceable
right to offset and intends to settle on a net basis or
realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Current and deferred tax is recognized in the income
statement, except that it relates to items recognized in
other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

2.3.12 Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized
in the Group’s statement of financial position when the
Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of
the instrument.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially
measured at fair value plus transaction costs in the case
of a financial instrument not at fair value through profit
or loss.
The Group has classified its financial instruments
as either measured at amortized cost or fair value
through profit or loss for subsequent measurement.
The classification depends on the Group’s business
model for managing them and the contractual cash-flow
characteristics of the instrument.
At amortized cost, financial assets are held to collect
the contractual cash-flow and where the cash-flows
are solely payments of principal and interest on the
outstanding principal. The category is included in the
consolidated statement of financial position financial
line items Trade and other receivables (current and non-
current), Other assets, Other current assets and cash
and cash equivalents. Non-current assets are measured
at amortized cost using the effective interest method,
reduced by any impairment loss. Due to their short-term
nature, the carrying amounts of line items classified as
current are assumed to be the same as their fair values.
Short-term loans and receivables are for practical
reasons not amortized unless the effect is material.
The category financial liabilities at amortized cost are
included in the consolidated statement of financial
position line items Borrowings (current and non-
current), and Trade and other payables. Non-current
financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost
using the effective interest method. Effective interest
is recognized in the income statement as financial
expenses. Fees paid on the establishment of loan
facilities are recognized as transaction costs of the loan.
Borrowings and trade and other payables are removed
from the balance sheet when the obligation in the
contract is discharged. Current items in the category are
for practical reasons not amortized unless the effect is
material.
Financial assets are derecognized when the contractual
rights to the cash flow from the financial asset expire,
and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks
and rewards of ownership. If it is not apparent that the
entity has transferred or retained all risks and rewards
substantially, the Group evaluates by comparing the
entity’s exposure, before and after the transfer, with the
variability in the amounts and timing of the net cash flows
on the transferred asset. In the securitization facility
agreement to which the group is a party, the receivables
are derecognized (see note 13). Financial liabilities are
derecognized when the obligation is discharged, cancelled
or expires. Any rights and obligations created or retained
in such a transfer are recognized separately as assets or
liabilities.
The Group has applied the simplified approach in IFRS 9
to measure the loss allowance at lifetime ECL for trade
receivables and contract assets. The Group determines
the expected credit losses on these items by using a
provision matrix, estimated based on historical credit loss
experience based on the past due status of the debtors,
adjusted as appropriate to reflect current conditions and
estimates of future economic conditions. Accordingly, the
credit risk profile of these assets is presented based on
their past status in terms of the provision matrix.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset with
the net amount reported in the consolidated statement of
financial position only if there is a currently enforceable
legal right to offset the recognized amounts and an intent
to settle on a net basis or to realize the assets and settle
the liabilities simultaneously.
The fair value of financial instruments
The fair value of financial instruments is based on quoted
prices as at the balance sheet date in an active market if
such markets exist. If an active market does not exist, fair
value is established using valuation techniques that are
expected to provide a reliable estimate of the fair value.
Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified
according to the valuation method:
Level 1: Valuation based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in
active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Valuation based on inputs other than quoted
prices included within level 1 observable for the asset or
liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that
is, derived from prices).
Level 3: Valuation based on the asset or liability inputs that
are unobservable market data.
If one or more significant inputs are not based on
observable market data, the instrument is included
in level 3.

Changes in fair value are presented in profit or loss in the
line-item Financial expenses.
2.3.13 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at banks.
2.3.14 Cash flow statement
The Group presents the statement of cash flows using the
indirect method. Cash inflows and outflows are shown
separately for investing and financing activities, while
operating activities include cash and non-cash line items.
Interest paid is classified as cash flows from financing
activities and interest received as cash flows from
operating activities.
2.3.15 Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing:
• the profit attributable to owners of the company,
excluding any costs of servicing equity other than
ordinary shares.
• by the weighted average number of ordinary shares
outstanding during the financial year, adjusted
for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued and
excluding treasury shares.
Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjust the figures used in the
determination of basic earnings per share to consider:
• the after-income tax effect of interest and other
financing costs associated with dilutive potential
ordinary shares, and
• the weighted average number of additional ordinary
shares that would have been outstanding assuming
the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.
2.3.16 Contributed Equity
Equity is presented as a single line item in the balance
sheet and is disclosed in the statement of changes in
Equity showing the reconciliation of changes for each
component of contributed Equity.
The components presented are the Groups share capital
and premium, other reserves, translation differences and
retained earnings. Other reserves includes transactions
related to shares such as treasury shares, share based
payments and similar transactions. The Group has chosen
to present share capital as only the external owned shares.
2.4 Significant accounting judgements,
estimates and assumptions
Judgements
In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies,
management has made the following judgements,
which have the most significant effect on the amounts
recognized in the consolidated financial statements:
Determining the lease term of contracts with renewal
options – Group as lessee
The Group determines the lease term as the non-
cancellable term of the lease, together with any periods
covered by an option to extend the lease if it is reasonably
certain to be exercised, or any periods covered by an
option to terminate the lease if it is reasonably certain not
to be exercised.
The Group applies judgement in evaluating whether it
is reasonably sure to exercise the option to extend. It
considers all relevant factors that create an economic
incentive for it to exercise either the renewal or
termination. After the commencement date, the Group
reassesses the lease term if there is a significant event or
change in circumstances that are within its control and
affects its ability to exercise or not to exercise the option.
The Group has not included the renewal period as part of
the lease term for the office lease as the options are not
reasonably certain to be exercised. Refer to note 10 for
information on potential future rental payments relating to
periods following the exercise date of the extension option
that is not included in the lease term.
Estimates and assumptions
The key assumptions concerning the future and other
key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting
date that have a significant risk of causing a material
adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities within the next financial year are described
below. The Group based its assumptions and estimates
on parameters available when the consolidated
financial statements were prepared. However,
existing circumstances and assumptions about future
developments may change due to market changes or
circumstances arising that are beyond the control of the
Group. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions
when they occur.
Impairment of assets
The Group has investments in intangible assets such as
customer contracts and internally generated software,
Goodwill, and Right-of-Use Assets (ROU assets). Before
each quarterly report, all assets are assessed for any
indication of impairment. If such movement exists, the
Group estimates the asset’s recoverable amount according
to IAS 36.
67
Highlights About Pexip Statement from the BoD Corporate Governance
Annual Report 2024Financials
Factors that indicate impairment include significant
underperformance in revenue-generating operation
relative to historical data and future projections,
substantial changes in the use of the asset or any
malfunctions, substantial changes in the market and
economy, in general, affecting the future economic benefit
of the asset and significant fall in market values.
Regardless of any indication of impairment, Goodwill and
internally generated intangible assets not yet in use are
tested for impairment in the fourth quarter of the year
(Q4).
The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher its fair
value, less cost of disposal, and its value in use. Value in
use is the present value of the future cash flows expected
from an asset. This valuation consists of different
estimates that the Group makes, such as estimates of
the future cash flows the entity expects to derive from
the asset, expectations about possible variations in the
amount or timing of those future amounts, time value of
money and other relevant factors. All estimates are based
on reasonable, relevant, and supportable information and
represent the management’s best estimate.
Deferred tax assets from tax losses
Deferred tax asset is recognized for the carryforward of
unused tax losses and unused tax credits to the extent
that it is probable that future taxable profit will be
available against which the unused tax losses and tax
credits can be utilized. The Group has projected future
taxable profits pr jurisdiction for which the tax losses can
be utilized based on approved budgets and forecasts.

Utilisation of taxable temporary differences are assessed by taxation authority and by taxable entity if the temporary
differences can’t be utilised across different entities within the same taxation authority. As of December 31, 2024 and
2023 a deferred tax asset is recognised for all the individual taxation authorities where the Group conduct business, with
the exception for Pexip Belgium.
The deferred tax asset is included in the balance sheet based on an assessment of the probability that sufficient taxable
profit will be available in the future to allow the deferred tax asset to be utilised (see accounting principle in 2.3.11).
Deferred tax assets on tax losses arising in Norway, the US and UK, in total NOK 119.6 million as at December 31, 2024
(2023: NOK 177.7 million) have been recognised based on the same assessment of the probability for sufficient taxable
profit in the future.
Tax losses relating to the Pexip Belgium for which deferred tax assets have not been recognised was in the amount of
NOK 40.0m in 2024 (2023: 34.3m).

Tax losses incurred in the US after January 1, 2018 do not expire, but are limited to 80% usage in one year. Tax losses
carried forward from the US business with no expiration date amount to NOK 47.4 million at December 31, 2024
(December 31, 2023: NOK 53.8 million). The expiring tax losses have priority over the never-expiring losses and are used
earliest-first. In 2024, all the tax losses with expiration date is used. The main part of the losses carried forward is from
Pexip Holding ASA (NOK 135.9 in 2024 and NOK 149.9 million in 2023) and Pexip AS (NOK 318.5 in 2024 and NOK 553.2
million in 2023).
Pexip is not in the scope for the GloBE rules, as the consolidated annual revene of the ultimate parent entity (Pexip
Holding ASA Group) is below EUR 750 million. The pillar II tax reform is not applicable for the year ending 2024.

The Group had total cash outflows for leases of NOK 19.2 million in 2024 (NOK 29.9 million in 2023).
An incremental borrowing rate (IBR) of Nowa + 3% has been applied on all new leases during the 2024 accounting year.
We have selected Nowa as the risk-free rate as a starting point to determine the IBR. We have also chosen to apply a
constant financing spread adjustment of 3% to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics (such as leases
with a similar class of underlying assets). This approach will change if we observe the material differences in financing
costs in the specific region we operate.
Refer to note 2.3.9 for a summary of significant accounting policies and note 2.4 for significant accounting judgements,
estimates and assumptions for the Group leases.
Extension and purchase options
The Group’s lease of lands and buildings have lease terms that vary from initially 12 months to 10 years, and some
agreements involve a right of renewal which may be exercised during the last period of the lease term. The Group assesses
whether it is reasonably certain to exercise the renewal right at the commencement date. Most of the leases are one year
leases with renewal options. The lease contract with longer durations does not have any renewal options. The Group’s
potential future lease payments not included in the lease liabilities related to extension options is NOK 3.5 million (gross)
on December 31, 2024 (NOK 6.2 million on December 31, 2023).
The Group leases plant and machinery with 3 to 5 years lease terms. These contracts include a right to purchase the asset
at the end of the contract term. The Group assesses whether it is reasonably certain to exercise the purchase option at the
commencement date. The Group has estimated that all the purchase options will be exercised. No potential future lease
payments are included in the lease liabilities related to purchasing options on December 31 in 2024 and 2023.

Note 11 - Goodwill
(NOK 1,000)
2024 2023Carrying amount of Goodwill January 1 598 998 662 645Impairment of Goodwill -63 647Carrying amount of Goodwill December 31 598 998 598 998
The carrying amount of goodwill in the Group amounts to NOK 599 million as of December 31, 2024. Goodwill is derived
from the acquisition of Videxio AS (599 million), which was completed in 2018. Goodwill is tested on an aggregate (Group)
level since the synergies stemming from the business combination will materialize on the group level that means that there
is only one single reportable CGU acording to IFRS 8 definitions of reportable CGUs.
Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if there are indications that goodwill might be impaired,
and has been assessed on a quarterly basis through 2024. Testing was most recently conducted in Q4 2024 based on the
updated business plan for the company at this time and the balance sheet per 30 September 2024. The recoverable amount
is set to the estimated value in use. The value in use is the net present value of the estimated cash flow before tax, using a
discount rate reflecting the timing of the cash flows and the expected risk.
Assumptions
Future cash flows
Revenue development and operating profits are estimated based on past performance and management expectations for
2025 to 2029. The expectations for the overall economic conditions and market outlook are in line with industry analysts,
expecting continued strong growth within the collaboration market. The forward-looking revenue assumptions are overall
in line with 2024, as are the assumption on cost development. These are in line with the stated strategy and current
financial targets of the company. Capital investments and depreciation are estimated to align with historic values relative to
revenues.
Pre-tax discount rate
Cash flows were discounted to a weighted average cost of capital (WACC) corresponding to 12.37% (before tax) (2023:
11.42%). The asset beta is based on the average of peer companies in the segment with a small company premium. The risk-
free interest rate applied is the the daily observable rate for the 10-year Norwegian government bonds, dated 9 December,
i.e. the date of board approval of the 2025-2029 business plan. The long-term optimal weight of equity of 95% is used in
WACC calculation.
Growth rate
The expected growth in revenue is based on historical performance as well as the expected future development in line with
the Company’s approved business plan. This includes management’s best estimate of cash flows for the next 5 years. Cash
flows beyond the five-year forecast period have been extrapolated using a steady 2.934% per annum growth rate, in line
with previous years.
Sensitivity analysis
Review for the CGU indicated that the recoverable amount exceeds carrying value by NOK 2,558 million at the balance
sheet date. The Group has prepared a sensitivity analysis of the impairment test for key assumptions: terminal growth rate,
discount rate and EBITDA change.
The following changes in key assumptions, in isolation, would result in recoverable amount being close to equal to the
carrying amount of goodwill. Change in one of the key assumptions may impact the development of others, however, due to
the significant uncertainties and judgement in determining such dependency, this has not been done.

Note 12 - Intangible assets
(NOK 1,000)
The sensitivities, which result in the recoverable amount being equal to the carrying value, are summarised below:
- an absolute increase in the WACC of 29.77%, from 12.37% to 42.14%, or
- an absolute reduction of 38.46 percentage ponts in the business plan growth rate (not including the terminal growth rate),
or
- a reduction of 75% in the forecasted EBITDA.
Changes beyond those described may thus lead to a impairment situation.
An alternative way to assess the sensitivity of key assumptions is to assess the potential impairment need from a negative
development in the key assumptions. For 2024 the company’s standard sensitivity ranges (+- 4% for growth and WACC,
+- 40% for EBITDA) does not lead to the carrying amount of goodwill exceeding the recoverable amounts.

Note 19 - Categories of financial assets and financial liabilities
(NOK 1,000)
Contract assets and liabilities
Of the contract liabilities as of December 31, 2024, NOK million 237 has been recognised as revenue in 2024 (2023:
NOK million 196) corresponding to 93% (2023: 85%) of the contract liability the preceding year end. The increase of the
contract liability in 2023 and 2024 is mainly due to increase in sales.
Of the contract assets as of December 31, 2024, NOK million 39 is reclassified to accounts receivables in 2024 (2023:
NOK million 37). The decrease in contract asset to NOK million 7 in 2024 (2023: NOK million 39) is mainly due to timing
of the invoices, going directly to AR in 2024.
The definition of contract assets and contract liabilities, together with a description of the relevant accounting principles
can be found under the headline Contract balances in the description of the group’s accounting principles (section 2.3.4).
Contract costs
The definition of contract costs, together with a description of the relevant accounting principles can be found under the
headline Costs of obtaining or fulfilling contracts with customers in the description of the group’s accounting principles

In 2024, amortization of contract costs amounting to NOK million 93 was recognised as part of salary and personnel
expenses and NOK million 1 as cost of sale. For 2023 the amounts were NOK million 82 and NOK million 2 respectively.

The Group’s exposure to various risks associated with financial instruments is discussed in note 21.
The maximum exposure to credit risk at the end of the reporting period is the carrying amount of each class of financial
assets presented above.
There are no or insignificant differences between the carrying amount and the amount that the company is contractually
obligated to pay to the creditors on maturity.
Trade and other receivables and trade and other payables are considered to be a part of the working capital.
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash at bank*. For capital management purposes, both cash at bank and the liquidity
fund is included in the definition of Free cash flow in the period. The liquidity fund provides the Group with interest income,
see note 6.
*In Q2 and Q3 of 2024 this investment was presented as a cash equivalent in the balance sheet and hence also in the cash

Note 21 - Financial risk
(NOK 1,000)
The most significant financial risks which affect the group are credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk related to foreign
exchange rate risk, described further below. Management performs continuous evaluations of these risks and related processes
established to manage them within the group.
Credit risk
The group is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities, primarily trade receivables and contract assets. The group
does not have a specific procedure for assessing credit risks for its customers before transactions are entered, and mainly does
business with large channel partner organizations. The group does not have significant credit risk associated with a single
counterparty.
Most customer contracts are with channel partners, of which Pexip has multiple engagements. Such contracts are mainly
invoiced yearly or monthly in advance with standard payment terms of 30 days. The group has a collection policy to ensure
overdue invoices are taken action.
The group applies the IFRS 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses, using a lifetime expected loss allowance
for all trade receivables. Trade receivables have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past
to measure the expected credit losses. The historical loss rate has been adjusted to reflect current and forward-looking
information on macroeconomic factors affecting the ability of the customers to settle the receivables. The amount of expected
credit loss is updated at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since the initial recognition of the respective
financial instrument.
The following table provided information about the exposure to credit risk and expected credit losses for trade receivables and
contract assets as of December 31 in 2024 and 2023:

market and the time value of money from later payments.
In addition to using the simplified approach, the Group has made an individual assessment of trade receivables above a
particular value and adjusted the provision with specific allowances for doubtful accounts. The Group writes off a trade
receivable when there is information indicating that the debtor is in severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect
of recovery, e.g., when the debtor has been placed under liquidation or has entered bankruptcy proceedings, or when the
trade receivables are over two years past due, whichever occurs earlier. None of the trade receivables that have been written
off is subject to enforcement activities.
Cash and cash equivalents: The counterparts for the group’s cash deposits are large banks considered to be solid. The group
assesses no material credit risks associated with these deposits.

Financial investments in Liquidity Money market fund
In 2024, Pexip Holding ASA invested 200 million NOK in a liquidity fund through a reputable Norwegian bank. This is an
interest bearing investment in short term bonds (bonds and cash), mainly from Municipalities and Banking corporations in
Norway. This fund is categorized with the lowest risk of the interest bearing funds, as the goal is to give an slightly higher
interest than high interest cash deposit on the company’s cash holdings.
The maximum exposure at the end of the reporting period is the carrying amount of these investments, 2024: 206 million
NOK, (2023: 0 MNOK).

The group monitors liquidity centrally across the group. It is the group’s strategy to have sufficient cash and cash
equivalents to at any time fund operations and investments according to the company’s strategic plans. The group monitors
its liquidity risk through a short-term and a long-term liquidity forecast to manage the target of a minimum position of cash
imposed by the Board of Directors.

multi-year leases on offices and IT equipment.

Foreign exchange rates
The group operates globally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk regarding trade receivables, payables, and cash and
cash equivalent holdings. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and
liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the functional currency of the group and the value of cash holdings in
other currencies than the functional currency, which is NOK.

Note 1 - Accounting policies
Pexip Holding ASA
Notes to the accounts, year ended 31 December 2024
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Norwegian Accounting Act of 1998 and generally
accepted accounting principles in Norway.
Valuation and classification of assets and liabilities
Assets intended for permanent ownership or use in the business are classified as non-current assets.
Other assets are classified as current assets. Receivables due within one year are classified as current
assets. The classification of current and non-current liabilities is based on the same criteria.
Current assets are valued at the lower of historical cost and fair value.
Fixed assets are carried at historical cost, but are written down to their recoverable amount if this is lower than the
carrying amount and the decline is expected to be permanent. Fixed assets with a limited economic life are
depreciated on a systematic basis in accordance with a reasonable depreciation schedule.
Other long-term liabilities, as well as short-term liabilities, are valued at nominal value.
Foreign currency
All balance sheet items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into NOK at the exchange rate prevailing
at the balance sheet date.
Currency forward contracts are valued in the balance sheet at fair value on the balance sheet date.
Shares in subsidiaries and associates
Subsidiaries and investments in associates are carried at cost. A write-down to fair value will be performed if
the impairment is not considered to be temporary, and an impairment charge is deemed necessary according
to generally accepted acccounting principles. Received dividends and group contributions are recognised as other
financial income. The same applies for investments in associates.
Share-based payments
Estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions requires determination of the most appropriate valuation
model, which depends on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate also requires determination of the most
appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life of the share option or appreciation right,
volatility and dividend yield and making assumptions about them.
For the measurement of the fair value of the equity-settled transactions with employees at the grant date, the Group
uses the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model.
Revenue
Revenue is recognised when it is earned, i.e. when the claim to remuneration arises. This occurs when the service is
103
Highlights About Pexip Statement from the BoD Corporate Governance
Annual Report 2024Financials
performed, as the work is being done. The revenue is recognised with the value of the remuneration at the time of
transaction.
Receivables
Trade receivables and other receivables are recognised at nominal value, less the accrual for expected losses of
receivables. The accrual for losses is based on an individual assessment of each receivable.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash, bank deposits and other monetary instruments with a maturity of less
than three months at the date of purchase.
Income taxes
Tax expenses are matched with operating income before tax. Tax related to equity transactions e.g.
group contribution, is recognised directly in equity.
Tax expense consists of current income tax expense and change in net deferred tax. Deferred tax liabilities and
deferred tax assets are presented net in the balance sheet.

To the General Meeting of Pexip Holding ASA
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Pexip Holding ASA, which comprise:
• The financial statements of the parent company Pexip Holding ASA (the Company), which comprise
the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2024, the profit and loss statement and
statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a
summary of significant accounting policies.
• The consolidated financial statements of Pexip Holding ASA and its subsidiaries (the Group), which
comprise the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2024, statement of profit and loss,
statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for
the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including material accounting policy
information.
In our opinion
• the financial statements comply with applicable statutory requirements,
• the financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Company as at 31
December 2024, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in
accordance with the Norwegian Accounting Act and accounting standards and practices generally
accepted in Norway, and
• the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group
as at 31 December 2024, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in
accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU.
Our opinion is consistent with our additional report to the Audit Committee.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities
under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial
Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company and the Group as required by relevant
laws and regulations in Norway and the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ International
Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) (IESBA Code),
and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe
that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
To the best of our knowledge and belief, no prohibited non-audit services referred to in the Audit Regulation
(537/2014) Article 5.1 have been provided.
The company was listed in 2020. We have been the company’s elected auditor since before the company was
listed. We have been the company’s elected auditor continuously for 5 years since the company was listed,
including the listing year.

Pexip Holding ASA
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit
of the financial statements of 2024. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial
statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on
these matters.
Carrying amount of goodwill
Assessment of Key Audit Matter Audit response
The carrying value of goodwill amounted to NOK 598,9
million on 31 December 2024 in the group financial
statements.
According to IFRS as adopted by the EU, the goodwill
is required to be tested for impairment annually or
whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying value may not be
recoverable. The recoverability of the goodwill is
dependent on assumptions related to future cash
flows and forecasts related to revenues, operating
margins and long-term growth rates as well as
discount rates.
These assumptions are of particular importance due
to the level of uncertainties and judgements involved.
The outcome of impairment assessments could vary
significantly if different assumptions were applied and
as such have a significant impact on the accounts.
Hence, this risk item is assessed to be a key audit
matter.
We assessed the design and implementation of the
controls Pexip has established related to assessment of
the recoverability of goodwill. We assessed and
challenged the reasonableness of management`s
judgements, in particular:
• the cash flow forecast;
• the long-term growth rate;
• and the discount rate used
by reference to the most recent financial budget
approved by management, past performance, externally
derived data and forecast for economic factors. We
evaluated the assumptions used and the sensitivity
analysis related to changes in key assumptions.
We used internal valuation specialists to assess
discount rate assumptions used and to validate the
mathematical accuracy of the cash flow models.
We evaluated the appropriateness of related
disclosures made in the financial statements.
Other Information
The Board of Directors (management) is responsible for the information in the Board of Directors’ report and
the other information accompanying the financial statements. The other information comprises information
in the annual report, but does not include the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our
opinion on the financial statements does not cover the information in the Board of Directors’ report nor the
other information accompanying the financial statements.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the Board of Directors’
report and the other information accompanying the financial statements. The purpose is to consider if there is
material inconsistency between the Board of Directors’ report and the other information accompanying the
financial statements and the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or whether the
Board of Directors’ report and the other information accompanying the financial statements otherwise
appear to be materially misstated. We are required to report if there is a material misstatement in the Board
of Directors’ report or the other information accompanying the financial statements. We have nothing to
report in this regard.
117
Highlights About Pexip Statement from the BoD Corporate Governance
Annual Report 2024Financials
Based on our knowledge obtained in the audit, it is our opinion that the Board of Directors’ report
• is consistent with the financial statements and
• contains the information required by applicable statutory requirements.
Our statement on the Board of Directors’ report applies correspondingly to the statement on Corporate
Governance.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation of financial statements of the Company that give a true and
fair view in accordance with the Norwegian Accounting Act and accounting standards and practices generally
accepted in Norway, and for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements of the Group that give a
true and fair view in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU. Management is
responsible for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of
financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s and the
Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern.
The financial statements of the Company use the going concern basis of accounting insofar as it is not likely
that the enterprise will cease operations. The financial statements of the Group use the going concern basis
of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no
realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes
our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit
conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements
can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably
be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional
scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to
fraud or error. We design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit
evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting
a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may
involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal
control.
• obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures
that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Company’s and the Group's internal control.
• evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates and related disclosures made by management.
• conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting,
and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or
conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s and the Group's ability to continue as a
going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in
our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are
inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to
the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company and
the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with the Board of Directors, we determine those matters that were of most
significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit
matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public
disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not
be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be
expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
