The year in brief
Despite a continued challenging market with macro headwinds, Airthings delivered 3% revenue growth to
USD 36.6 million in 2023, and 16% growth in annual recurring revenue (ARR) to 4.2 million. Gross profit grew
6% to USD 22.3 million with gross margin improvement from 59% to 61%, and the loss before tax, declined
to USD 8.0 million from a loss of USD 13.7 million in 2022.
The Company has seen an increase in promising results after introducing a revised strategy, Airthings 3.0.
Introduced in the second quarter of 2023, this strategy has a two-fold goal, first to drive revenue growth
while improving gross profit margins and secondly, to lower the percentage share of operating costs.
For the last three quarters of 2023, Airthings reported 6% revenue growth, 3 percentage points higher gross
margin, and 12% lower operating costs. As a result, the EBITDA loss for the last three quarters was reduced
by USD 4.7 million to USD 3.6 million compared to the same three quarters in 2022.
The continued execution of Airthings 3.0 strategy will shorten the time to profitability, combined with efforts
to reduce working capital, the new strategy means the Company is likely fully funded to break even.
Airthings reinforced its brand as a leading indoor air quality company
with the launch of a new consumer website at the CES conference in Las
Vegas, and the new Airthings Energy Efficiency Toolkit was promoted
at the world’s largest HVAC event at AHR in Atlanta. Airthings was listed
in Fortune 25 Top Healthy and Wellness Products for 2023.
Sales on Airthings.com increased by 100%+ year-on-year, in line with the new strategy. The expansion
of the Airthings for Business portfolio continued, with a new partnership with Lindab broadened
from ventilation to HVAC, and new partnerships with Planon, Rentokil Initial, and DMI Companies.

Our story
With roots stemming from innovation focused
on radon monitoring, Airthings has grown to
incorporate monitoring of other critical air
contaminants, standing at the forefront of
the industry as “Leaders in the Invisible.” We
offer sophisticated monitors, cutting-edge
software, and cloud analytics to households,
schools, and businesses. With the data gathered
through our sensors, we empower people to
breathe better, increase productivity, and live
healthier while reducing energy consumption.
On average, we each breathe 28,000 times every
day, and we spend 90% of our time indoors,
where the air quality can be up to five times worse
than that of the outdoors. Our products provide
actionable insights to improve indoor air quality,
leading to better focus, sleep and overall health.
With the launch of Renew, Airthings’ first smart
air purifier, we can now solve air quality and
health issues in our users’ homes, reinforcing our
mission to empower the world to breathe better.
Aligned with our mission, we understand that
businesses must focus on indoor air quality
without compromising energy efficiency.
Commercial buildings account for 40% of global
energy consumption, and optimizing indoor air
climate could save more than 20% of that energy
usage. With the Airthings for Business solution,
we help our customers make informed decisions
by providing them with actionable insights,
resulting in healthier, more energy-efficient
buildings. The solution carries IAQ monitors
that are RESET accredited and contribute to
compliance with the WELL Building Standard.

in-house, from industrial design, hardware, and
radio protocols to app development, software,
and firmware. A majority of our products are
smart products with corresponding apps, online
dashboards, and APIs. The heart of our system
is in the cloud where we turn air quality statistics
into advanced analytics, converting raw data into
usable information. By leveraging this anonymized
data from Airthings’ sensors in homes and
buildings worldwide, we can provide valuable
insights to our customers and help them improve
the air quality while reducing energy usage.

Business overview
2023 revenue and gross profit margin (USD 1,000)
Airthings is uniquely positioned to be a global leader with a strong foundation in both the
North American and European markets. Airthings derives 78% of its revenue from the USA and
Canada and 22% from the EMEA region. Airthings sells to a trifold of the consumer market,
the commercial business market, and radon professionals, representing the three business
segments: Airthings for Consumer, Airthings for Business, and Airthings for Professionals.
Airthings for
Consumer
Airthings for Consumer
combines a range of top-of-the-
line air quality monitors and
a newly launched air purifier
with software solutions to
enable consumers to create
and maintain a healthy home
environment. In 2023, revenue
in this segment came in at
USD 24.8 million, an increase
of 8% from 2022. The number
of new device registrations for
connected products increased
by 22% in 2023. In line with
Airthings’ 3.0 strategy, the
Company is strengthening its
direct-to-consumer sales channel
while continuing to fortify its
relationships with key retailers
and partners worldwide.
Airthings for
Business
The B2B segment offers indoor
air quality solutions for schools,
office buildings, and other public
and commercial real estate.
Revenue in this segment came in
at USD 9.7 million, and the decline
of 6% from 2022 reflects that
the business segment remains
heavily affected by large deals with
individual customers. The number
of devices in the field increased by
36% yearly, and annual recurring
revenue (ARR) in AfB increased
by 24% to USD 3.1 million.
Airthings for
Professionals
Airthings for Professionals is the
smallest of the three business
segments, offering an easy-
to-use NRPP/NRSB certified
radon measurement device
with a dashboard solution
tailored for home inspectors
and radon professionals.
In addition to device sales,
Airthings offers calibration
services, leasing, and an Affiliate
Program for its users. Revenue
in this segment amounted to
USD 2.1 million in 2023, an
increase of 3% from 2022.

Dear Airthings Community,
Airthings is on a mission to empower the
world to breathe better. Designed in Norway
and trusted by the world, we’ve sold over one
million air quality monitors worldwide. I am
truly impressed by our dedicated team, which
has built a global leader in the indoor air quality
industry, and am honored to have the trust
to lead this Company through the next phase,
creating profitable growth. More people are now
realizing the importance of good air quality in
our homes, work, and schools. We’re now at the
point where it’s time to change the perception of
our products from “nice to have” to “must have.”
From the early days, pushing the industry
forward with innovative ways of measuring
radon, Airthings has developed into a dynamic
hardware-enabled software company with
a broad range of smart and connected
products. Today, our products continue to
lead the market in radon measurement while
monitoring other critical air contaminants and
boosting energy efficiency in buildings.
With the announcement of Airthings Renew,
our first smart air purifier, we step into a new
market where we can now directly solve air
quality and health issues in our customers’
homes, delivering potential life-changing value
to our users, and reaffirming our mission
to empower the world to breathe better.
Our market-leading products, supported by the
strong brand we’ve built and a robust global sales
network, have enabled Airthings to double its
revenue from 2019 to 2021. In 2022, we entered
a more challenging phase with supply chain
disruptions, succeeded by a cyclical downturn
through 2023 and changes in purchasing
patterns amongst our partners. Despite these
challenges, our revenue has still increased slightly
in the past few years, and we have revised our
strategy to account for these challenges.
We will build stronger direct customer
relationships by engaging our customers
(both consumers and businesses) with world-
class user experiences. By strengthening our
software-first mentality, we will deliver greater
value to our users, providing them with added
features, while making our products more
engaging and improving our users’ lives.
The early effects of implementing our updated
strategy, Airthings 3.0, show promising results,
with year-on-year revenue growth of 6% and
three percentage-points higher gross profit
margin. We delivered this with 12% lower
operating costs, all of which accelerate our path
to profitability. Our website also saw 100% growth
in sales YoY, supporting the strategy further.
Sustainability continues to be at the heart of what
we do and, as CEO, I fully support our commitment
to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Despite Airthings’ growth, our total CO
2
estimated
emissions decreased by 23% from 2022 due to
reductions in the products’ carbon footprint,
logistics, and marketing spend. We remain
committed to our goals and will continue to make a
difference for people, the planet, and businesses.
Progressing in these areas will help us capitalize
on the positive megatrends like health tech,
smart homes, sustainability, and energy
efficiency. These will generate tailwinds for
Letter from the CEO
Airthings — Annual Report 2023

Airthings for many years to come. Our long-term
growth potential and value drivers remain
intact as we work our way further into what is
a growing market opportunity worldwide.
Finally, thank you, Øyvind Birkenes, for
all your help and, more importantly, for
growing the company from a start-up into
a global industry leader. Your expertise and
dedication to Airthings have truly made a
difference in people's everyday lives.
I look forward to continuing this journey
with all of you and trust that we will
achieve long-term success in empowering
the world to breathe better.
All the best,
Emma Tryti
CEO, Airthings

Airthings is a global tech company headquartered in
Norway and led by a team of experienced scientists,
engineers, developers, and visionaries. The mission
of Airthings is to educate on and solve air quality
and energy conservation issues for consumers,
businesses, schools, public institutions, and more.
This is done through the creation of patented
technology and software that accurately informs
and educates users about what’s in the air they
breathe, purifies their air, and empowers them with
the data-driven insights necessary to make smarter
decisions for their health and their businesses.
The Company’s key revenue generators are
individual consumers, businesses, public
institutions, and air quality and radon professionals,
and correspondingly reports across the three
business areas Airthings for Consumer (Consumer),
Airthings for Business (AfB), and Airthings for
Professionals (Pro).
Airthings is increasingly focused on direct channel
sales through airthings.com but also works
closely with e-commerce partners, premium
retailers, influential commercial B2B partners,
home inspectors, real estate agents, and radon
professionals. These sales channels collectively
contribute to the Company’s three business units
previously outlined. The key markets in North
America and Europe represented 78% and 22%,
respectively, of revenue in 2023.
Headquartered in Oslo, Norway, Airthings ASA has
two wholly owned subsidiaries, Airthings America
Inc. in the US, and Airthings AB in Sweden. Airthings
ASA – the parent company of the Airthings Group
– was admitted to trading on Euronext Growth in
Oslo in October 2020 and conducted a transition to
the main Oslo Stock Exchange in June 2022.
Key developments and future focus
Having shown healthy growth over many years,
Airthings faced strong macro headwinds through
2022 and 2023. Higher inflation and rising
interest rates have caused a weaker consumer
sentiment and a guarded investment environment
where distributors and retailers have reduced
inventories.
In response, Airthings has adapted its strategy
and approach to enable both scalability and
profitability. The new strategy, called Airthings
3.0, builds on a more selective and disciplined
go-to-market approach, a sharper focus on unit
economics and customer lifetime value, and
continued improvements of the software offering
to further enhance the value proposition.
The aim of the new strategy is to drive scalable
growth to improve- gross margins and revenue
growth above operating cost development,
and position the Company on a clearer path
to profitability. The strategic changes were
implemented during the first half of 2023, and the
Company saw gradually stronger effects over the
three last quarters of the year.
The Board and management of Airthings remain
confident in the large global market opportunity
and the long-term potential of the business, which
is supported by strong and lasting tailwinds from
megatrends in health tech, smart homes, energy
efficiency, and sustainability and regulations.
Events after the reporting period
RCF — In 1Q 2023 Airthings secured a USD 8
million revolving credit facility (RCF) for a 1-year
period with an annual renewal with Danske Bank.
In January 2024, Airthings received credit approval
for renewal of the RCF subject to documentation
and closing procedures which is expected to be
completed within March 2024. The size of the new
facility will be reduced from USD 8 to 6 million,
see note 6.2.
New CEO — Emma Tryti has taken over as CEO as
of 4 March 2024. She has been granted 1,500,000
options with a strike price of 2.70.
Board of Directors Report
Airthings — Annual Report 2023

Financial summary
The consolidated financial statements of the
Airthings Group (“the Group”) are presented under
the IFRS® Accounting Standards as adopted by
the EU. The presentation currency of the Group’s
IFRS figures is USD. The functional currency of the
parent company is NOK.
All financial statements in this report are
presented on a going concern basis in accordance
with the Norwegian Accounting Act section 3-3a,
and the Board of Directors confirms that the
prerequisites for a going concern assumption are
indeed present.
Airthings grew revenue and gross profit and
reduced the EBITDA loss during 2023, despite
a macroeconomic environment that remained
challenging and restrained top line growth.
Growth in Airthings for Consumer offset the
softness in the Airthings for Business and Pro
segments.
Income statement
Revenues amounted to USD 36.6 million in 2023,
up 3% compared with USD 35.4 million in 2022.
The modest revenue growth was primarily driven
by increased sales in Airthings for Consumer.
Gross profit ended at USD 22.3 million in 2023,
up 6% from USD 21.0 million in the previous
year. The gross margin for the full year 2023 was
61%, up 2%-points from 2022. The gross margin
improvement mainly reflects margin expansion
in Airthings for Business, driven by increased
prices, higher share of software revenues, and an
increasing share of direct sales.
The EBITDA-loss decreased from USD 11.8
million in 2022 to a loss of USD 6.8 million in
2023. The improvement reflected roll-out of
the strategic pivot Airthings 3.0, under which
several cost-reducing initiatives were successfully
implemented.
Depreciation remained relatively flat at USD 1.5
million in 2023, and the Company incurred no
impairments. This compares to depreciation
of USD 1.4 million in the prior year, when the
Company also incurred an impairment of USD 1.4
related to the acquisition of Airtight in 2020.
The operating loss (EBIT) hence decreased
from USD 14.7 million in 2022 to a loss of USD
8.3million in 2023.
Net financial items contributed a positive USD 0.3
million in 2023, compared with a positive USD 1.0
million in 2022. This mainly reflected exchange
rate fluctuations between USD and NOK and
interest payments on outstanding debt. Interest
bearing debt amounted to USD 1.4 million at
the end of 2023, whereas the Company had no
outstanding debt at the end of 2022.
Net loss before taxes was hence USD 8.0 million
in 2023, compared to a net loss before taxes of
USD 13.7 million in 2022. Tax income amounted
to USD 1.8 million compared to USD 3.1 million in
2022. This generated a net loss of USD 6.3 million
in 2023, which compares to a net loss of USD 10.6
million in 2022.
Balance sheet
Airthings Group had total assets of USD 64.7 million
at the end of 2023, up from USD 63.7 million at the
end of 2022. Current assets amounted to USD 46.1
million (47.2), including cash and cash equivalents of
USD 14.6 million (13.3) and inventories of USD 15.3
million (18.7). Non-current assets amounted to USD
18.5 million (16.5), which mainly comprises deferred
tax assets, intangible assets, right of use assets, and
remaining goodwill related to the Airtight acquisition
in 2020.
Airthings Group had total liabilities of USD 14.4
million per December 31, 2023, up from USD 12.8
million at the end of 2022. Total liabilities consisted
primarily of lease liabilities, trade payables, contract
liabilities, interest bearing debt, and other provisions.
In 2023, Airthings Group increased its share capital
by NOK 237 661.00 to NOK 1 977 584.46, allocated
across 197 758 446 shares with a nominal value
of NOK 0.01 each. The increase reflects a private
placement of 23 437 500 shares which generated
gross proceeds of NOK 75 000 000, and a smaller
share issuance in connection with the employee
option program.
Airthings — Annual Report 2023

Total equity amounted to USD 50.3 million at the end
of 2023, corresponding to an equity ratio of 78%.
This compares to total equity of USD 50.9 million and
an equity ratio of 80% at the end of 2022.
Cash flow statement
Airthings Group’s cash flow from operating activities
was USD -3.4 million in 2023, marking a significant
improvement from USD -22.2 million in 2022. The
operating cash flow was mainly driven by losses
before tax of USD 8.0 million (-13.7), partly offset
by positive net working capital adjustments of USD
3.1 million (-10.7). Inventories declined by USD 3.4
million during 2023, compared to an increase of
USD 7.3 million in 2022, and reflect the strategic
focus on reducing days of inventory and the overall
working capital exposure.
Total cash flow from investments was USD -1.4
million in 2023, compared to USD -2.2 million in
2022, mainly driven by capitalized development
expenditures of USD 1.7 million.
Cash flow from financing was USD 7.5 million in
2023 (-0.6), primarily composed of proceeds from
equity issuances of USD 7.1 million and proceeds
from debt of USD 1.3 million, partly offset by
payments on lease liabilities. Net foreign exchange
differences resulted in a cash flow of USD -1.5
million over 2023 (-3.9). Cash and cash equivalents
hence increased to USD 14.6 million at year-end
2023, up from USD 13.3 million at the end of 2022.
Allocation of net profit
The consolidated accounting loss for 2023 was
USD 6.3 million, with the proposed allocation of
the net profit for the year shown in the Annual
Financial Statement.
PARENT COMPANY ACCOUNTS
(Figures for 2022 in brackets)
The annual accounts for the parent company
Airthings ASA have been prepared according
to Norwegian Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles (NGAAP). The functional currency of the
parent company is NOK.
Airthings ASA’s revenue from sales amounted to
NOK 358.0 million (319.7). Gross profit was NOK
208.8 million in 2023 (177.5). Operating expenses
amounted to NOK 300.1 million (306.9), and
loss before tax was NOK 104.4 million (141.8-).
Tax income was NOK 21.0 million in 2023 (30.3),
generating a net loss of NOK 77.9 million (-111.5).
Total assets amounted to NOK 604.8 million at
year-end 2023 (585.4), whereof current assets
represented NOK 416.7 million (404.1). Total
equity was NOK 499.5 million per December 31,
2023 (502.0).
Current liabilities was NOK 90.2 million per
year-end 2023 (82.2), whereas the parent
company had long term liabilities of NOK 15.1
million (1.2) mainly related a growth loan from
Innovation Norway.
Net cash flow from operating activities was
negative NOK 52.4 million (-225.5), and net cash
flow from investing activities negative NOK 18.7
million (-20.9). Net cash flow from financing
activities was positive NOK 85.8 million (3.0)
mainly due to the private placement of NOK 72.4
million in 1Q 2023 and the growth loan from
Innovation Norway. Cash and cash equivalents in
the parent company hence declined to NOK 131.3
million per December 31, 2023 (116.5).
RISKS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
The Group is exposed to a range of risks affecting
its financial performance, including but not
limited to liquidity risk, credit risk, and market
risks relating to changes in interest rates and
foreign currency exposure. The Group seeks to
minimize the potential adverse effects of such
risks through sound business practices, prudent
risk management, and hedging.
Risk management is a continuous process and
an integrated part of the Group’s business. When
operating across multiple markets, Airthings is
exposed to a range of risks that may affect its
business. The key risk areas are discussed below.
Liquidity
Liquidity risk represents the risk that the Group
may potentially encounter difficulties in meeting
obligations associated with financial liabilities
Airthings — Annual Report 2023
18
that are settled by provision of cash or another
financial asset. The Group supervises its risk by
monitoring its cash balances and working capital
exposure, as well as production commitments
to main contract manufacturers. The Group
has intensified its focus on optimizing business
operations, reducing current and incoming
inventories and collecting overdue receivables.
The Group raised NOK 75.0 million in gross
proceeds through a private placement of
23,437,500 shares in February 2023. In addition,
the Group secured funding from Innovation
Norway in the form of a NOK 17.0 million grant
and a loan of NOK 24.0 million. NOK 5.1 million of
the grant and NOK 14.0 million of the loan were
paid out to the Group in 2Q 2023.
The Group’s cash position was USD 14.6 million
on 31 December 2023. The Company also has
access to liquidity through a revolving credit
facility (RCF) with Danske Bank. This was initially
entered for USD 8 million in 1Q 23 and renewed
for USD 6 million in 1Q 24. The reduction reflects
the overall improved working capital situation
(see note 6.2).
It is the Board of Directors assessment that the
Company’s operational plans are expected to
be fully funded through to break-even, and the
liquidity risk is considered to be at a reasonable
level.
Credit
Credit risk represents the possibility of a
counterparty not meeting its obligations under a
financial instrument or customer contract, leading
to a financial loss. The Group is mainly exposed to
credit risk from its operating activities.
The credit risk is generally low in the Consumer
segment, where the vast majority of sales are
made to well-established and creditworthy third
parties or sold directly with immediate payment.
Although somewhat higher, the credit risk is still
deemed to be generally low also in the Airthings
for Business segment, for the same reasons. The
Group has close and ongoing relationships with
its business customers and receivable balances
are monitored on a continuous basis.
It is Group policy that all customers wishing
to trade on credit terms are subject to credit
verification procedures, including an assessment
of credit rating, short-term liquidity, and financial
position. Exceptions to the Group’s standard
credit terms must be approved by the Airthings
finance department.
The Group’s exposure to losses has historically
been low. However, increased activity outside
the US and home markets may expose Airthings
to different credit risk environments. The Board
of Directors deems the credit risk to be at an
acceptable level given the current scope of
operations and outlook of the Group.
Foreign currency
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value
or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate
because of changes in foreign exchange rates.
The Group is exposed to currency fluctuations
due to the international nature of its operations.
The Group’s exposure to the risk of fluctuations
in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to
the Group’s operating activities (revenue and
expenses denominated in a foreign currency)
and the Group’s net investments in foreign
subsidiaries.
A significant part of revenues is denominated in
USD, with a smaller portion incurred in EUR, NOK,
CAD and GBP. Most of its operating expenses are
incurred in NOK. Further, the Group could also
potentially be negatively affected by fluctuations
in other currencies in the future. The Group does
not currently hedge currency exposure with the
use of financial instruments but does employ
natural hedges, e.g. retaining revenues in USD
to make payments to suppliers with USD as the
contract currency, to the extent possible and
monitors the net exposure over time.
Interest rate
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of
future cash flows of a financial instrument will
fluctuate because of changes in market interest
rates. The Group’s borrowings have historically been
exposed to interest rate fluctuations. The Group had
Airthings — Annual Report 2023
19
USD 1.4 million in interest bearing debt at the end
2023, and the Board of Directors considers the risk
associated with interest rate fluctuations to be low.
Customer concentration
Customer concentration risk is the risk that a
significant portion of the company's revenue is
derived from a small number of customers or
partners, which can pose risk to the stability and
growth of the business. The Group has some
major customers accounting for a significant
share of the income. As a mitigating action, the
Group has worked to build out its direct channel
in the Consumer segment, as well as working
more direct with end customers in the Business
segment.
Other risks
Geopolitical risks —
the ongoing war in the Ukraine
does not impact the Group directly, as it has
no operating presence in either Russia, Belarus
or Ukraine. However, indirect effects such as
general economic market conditions, financial
market volatility, sanctions-related knock-on
effects or other future responses of international
governments, might have an impact on the
Group’s financial results and financial position.
Similarly, the ongoing war in Israel/Gaza is not
currently impacting the Group, although the
Group has a very limited exposure through a
contract manufacturer near Tel Aviv in Israel.
The Group’s management continuously monitors
these situations and assesses the potential impact
on the Group’s financial results and financial
position.
Climate risk —
the Group has considered the
impact of climate risks when preparing the
consolidated financial statements for the year
ended 31 December 2023. We have especially
considered how our current valuation of assets
and liabilities may be impacted by risks related to
climate and weather change, waste management,
manufacturing, material and sourcing risk and
water consumption and innovation for a circular
economy, as well as our plans to mitigate those
risk factors. Especially, the Group's climate change
risk analysis has identified the following:
• Higher energy price fluctuations might affect
the Group's manufacturing costs in the short
run
• More extreme weather might affect
infrastructure, manufacturing/operations,
logistics and component scarcity both in the
shorter and longer run
• Potential future regulation related to
improved battery usage and waste
management might lead to changes in
product development and manufacturing,
potentially increasing manufacturing expenses
in the long run
We do not believe that there is a material
impact on the financial reporting judgments and
estimates arising from our considerations. The
valuations of our assets or liabilities have not
been significantly impacted by these risks as at 31
December 2023.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Airthings strives to adhere to the Code of Practice
for Corporate Governance published by the
Norwegian Corporate Governance Board (NUES)
on 14 October 2021. A separate section of this
annual report provides details on Airthings’
compliance to each of the corporate governance
principles as outlined in the Code.
SUSTAINABILITY AND CORPORATE SOCIAL
RESPONSIBILITY
Airthings is deeply dedicated to sustainability,
working continuously to improve environmental,
Airthings — Annual Report 2023
20
social, and governance practices. With a
new strategy and management in place, the
sustainability KPIs presented in previous reports
will be updated during 2024.
For planet
In 2023, Airthings for Business’ online devices
in the field increased by 36% from 2022. In
combination with energy consumption reduction
services provided through the corresponding
software solution, this contributed to estimated
saving >13.5k tCO2e for our customers. During
2023, Airthings’ energy efficiency toolkit was
expanded to include space occupancy/presence
and ventilation rate. These features help facility
managers determine the optimal settings of the
ventilation system, ensuring a balance between
energy savings and a healthy environment for
occupants. In May 2023, Airthings received a grant
and a loan from Innovation Norway to further
develop this energy efficiency toolkit. The project
will further accelerate the work on providing
insights into energy usage in buildings and how to
reduce energy consumption.
Despite growth in revenue, total CO2e emissions
(scope 1, 2 and 3) decreased significantly from
a total of 8.071 tCO2e in 2022 to 6.238 tCO2e
in 2023. The main reasons for the reduction
were cost reductions, specifically in use of
consultants and in marketing costs, as well as
more streamlined and efficient downstream
transportation. Over 99% of Airthings' emissions
fell under scope 3 in 2023. Notably, Airthings
boasts zero direct scope-1 emissions, and has
scope-2 emissions of 14.7 tCO2e in 2023 (14.5
tCO2e in 2022). The minor increase was due to a
0.15% increase in total energy consumption (Fort
Worth, Stockholm and Oslo).
All Airthings’ contract manufacturers comply
with ISO14001 for Environmental Management
Systems. During 2023, Airthings added one
additional manufacturer, and before finalizing
the agreement, a thorough ESG analysis was
conducted. In 2024, the goal is to establish waste
and water consumption targets with Airthings’
main manufacturer.
For people
By the end of 2023, Airthings has reached >4.5
million people through its educational resources.
Our goal is to raise awareness about radon, clean
air at home, and ways to improve the quality of
living by enhancing indoor air quality.
Airthings — Annual Report 2023
21
Airthings prioritizes employee well-being and
community welfare, demonstrated by the
establishment of a Human Rights: Equality,
Diversity, and Inclusion Code of Conduct and
a public grievance mechanism. The goal is to
maintain high labor practice standards and
foster diversity and inclusion. There was 1 issue
reported during 2023 relating to diversity and
inclusion. This issue was handled and closed in
early 2024.
At the end of 2023, Airthings employed 129
employees from over 35 nationalities, with
females accounting for 30% of FTEs. Airthings
is actively working towards achieving balanced
gender representation. Our goal is to achieve a
gender ratio of >40% women across all levels and
departments, ensuring equal career opportunities
for everyone. Our leadership team currently
maintains a 50-50 gender balance, and women
hold 45% of our managerial positions. There is
currently a 10% salary gap between female and
male managers, which the company is working
to address. More information and equality
statements can be found at www.airthings.com.
Absence due to sickness amounted to 2.6%
in 2023, compared to 1.4% in 2022. In 2023,
employees reported lower levels of satisfaction
with the working environment, with an average
employee Net Promoter Score (eNPS) of 5 in
2023 compared to 40 in 2022. A corrective action
plan will be implemented in 2024. There was 1
HSE incident reported during 2023, the same
number as in 2022. The incident did not lead to
any permanent injuries. During 2023, special
attention was given to improving HSE guidelines
for the R&D lab and better equipping it with
fire extinguishers for specific fire hazards like
electrical and lithium battery fires.
The Board of Directors, consists of 2 men, 2
women, and 2 employee representatives (1 man
and 1 woman). Airthings ASA and subsidiaries
are covered by Directors and Officers liability
insurance. The insurance indemnifies directors
and officers for defense costs and potential legal
liability arising out of claims made against them
while serving on a board of directors and or as
an officer. The insurance policy is issued by a
reputable, specialized insurer with appropriate
rating.
During 2023, Airthings has done a thorough
evaluation of potential risks to human rights and
decent working conditions, as outlined by the
Transparency Act report published in June 2023.
Suppliers were classified as high, medium or
low risk using factors such as the Civil Liberties
Index, Human Rights Watch Report, OHCHR
Report, Environmental Performance Index (EPI),
and corruption country level. High-risk suppliers
and main manufacturers undergo a rigorous due
diligence process. Currently, 68% of High-risk
important suppliers have signed Airthings Code
of Conduct. Additionally, discussions are ongoing
with Airthings’ contract manufacturer in Israel,
to assess the situation in their factory. Further
details on supplier assessments can be found
in our upcoming Transparency Act Report 2023,
which will be published on https://www.airthings.
com/sustainability in Q2 2024.
Our business governance
The Company is committed to transparent and
ethical business practices, supported by policies
and procedures against bribery and corruption.
In 2023, specific focus was given to the
implementation of and compliance with Airthings’
procurement policies. No instances of unethical
practices were reported in 2023.
Airthings did not experience any data breaches
or successful cyber-attacks in 2023, nor any
significant disturbances in operations.
In January 2023, Airthings’ ISMS (Information
Security Information System) was audited
according to ISO27001, and in December 2023
the Company passed the first surveillance audit
without any negative observations. Airthings
trains its employees in a range of ESG topics such
as human rights, anti-bribery and anti-corruption
practises and security awareness. All trainings
have >95% completion rate among full-time
employees.

Airthings is strongly committed to community
engagement. In collaboration with One Tree
Planted, we planted 256 trees in a dedicated
campaign in response to British Columbia
wildfires. Our involvement extends to chess,
where we have sponsored tournaments on
chess.com, promoting both the game and indoor
air quality awareness. We proudly support the
American Lung Association, contributing to
their impactful work. Additionally, we actively
participate in community development through
laptop donations to Hånd i hånd Uganda, making
a positive impact on education and technology
access.

OUTLOOK
Airthings remains resolute in its mission to
empower people to breathe better and to address
the negative health effects from poor indoor air
quality and the cost and environmental effects
of inefficient energy consumption in buildings.
The Company is recognized as a global category
leader in indoor air quality and the clarity provided
from Airthings’ solutions is pushing the industry
forward. The market opportunity is significant and
supported by lasting tailwinds from megatrends
in health tech, smart homes, energy efficiency,
and sustainability and regulations. Airthings is
uniquely positioned to capture this market and
apply its leadership to drive awareness and deliver
actionable insights to households and businesses.
Airthings is increasingly seeing results of its
strategic pivot to a selective go-to-market strategy,
a holistic product focus, and an improved
operating model. The Company reported both
revenue growth, improved gross margins, reduced
operating costs, and reduced inventories in 2023,
and the key focus for 2024 is to continue growing
with improved profitability and lower working
capital exposure.
Further reductions of inventory levels will be a
source of capital going forward, and with a lower
cash burn the Company’s operational plans are
expected to be fully funded through to break-even.
Revenue growth is expected to be supported
by new product launches in both Airthings for
Business and the Consumer segment, as well as by
increased prices for both hardware and software
services. Combined with the sharpened cost and
margin focus this ensures that Airthings is on a
clearer and faster path to profitability.
The Board and management remain confident
in the large global market opportunity and the
long-term potential for Airthings.
This report contains certain forward-looking statements that involve
risks and uncertainties and that reflect current views about future
events and are, by their nature, subject to significant risks and
uncertainties. There are a number of factors that could cause actual
results and developments to differ materially from those expressed

that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements
are reasonable, we cannot assure you that our future results, level of
activity, performance or achievements will meet these expectations.
You should therefore not place undue reliance on forward looking
statements.

1.1 Corporate information
Airthings ASA (‘the Company’) is a publicly listed
company on Oslo Stock Exchange, with the ticker
symbol AIRX. Airthings ASA is incorporated and
domiciled in Norway with principal offices located
at Wergelandsveien 7, 0167 Oslo, Norway.
Airthings and its subsidiaries (collectively
“the Group”, or “Airthings”) develop and
produces solutions for monitoring indoor
air quality, radon, and energy efficiency. The
Group sells its products and solutions to
consumers and businesses around the world.
The consolidated financial statements of
the Group for the year ended 31December
2023 were authorized for issue in
accordance with a resolution of the Board
of Directors on 19March2024.
1.2 Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements of the
Group comprise consolidated statement of
comprehensive income, consolidated statement
of financial position, consolidated statement
of cash flows, consolidated statement of
changes in equity and related notes.
The consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with
IFRS® Accounting Standards as adopted
by the EU. The consolidated financial
statements have been prepared on a
historical cost basis, the Company has no
assets or liabilities valued at fair value. All
figures are presented in USD thousands
(1,000), except when otherwise stated.
The consolidated financial statements provide
comparative information in respect of the
previous period. Further, the consolidated
financial statements are prepared based
on the going concern assumption.
Presentation currency and functional currency
The consolidated financial statements are
presented in United States dollar(“USD”).
Airthings ASA has Norwegian krone (“NOK”) as its
functional currency and its subsidiaries have SEK
or USD as their functional currencies. The Group
presents its consolidated financial statements in
USD to provide the primary users of the financial
statements with more convenient information.
Climate risk
The Group has considered the impact of climate
risks when preparing the consolidated financial
statements for the year ended 31 December
2023. We have especially considered how
our current valuation of assets and liabilities
may be impacted by risks related to climate
and weather change, waste management,
manufacturing, material and sourcing risk and
water consumption and innovation for a circular
economy, as well as our plans to mitigate those
risk factors. Especially, the Group's climate
change risk analysis has identified the following:
• Higher energy price fluctuations might
affect the Group's manufacturing
costs in the short run
• More extreme weather might affect
infrastructure, manufacturing/operations,
logistics and component scarcity both
in the shorter and longer run
• Potential future regulation related to
improved battery usage and waste
management might lead to changes in
product development and manufacturing,
potentially increasing manufacturing
expenses in the long run
We do however not believe that there is a
material impact on the financial reporting
judgments and estimates arising from our
Section 1 — General information
and accounting policies
Airthings — Annual Report 2023
39
considerations and as a result the valuations of
our assets or liabilities have not been significantly
impacted by these risks as at 31 December 2023.
In coming to this conclusion we have reviewed
each line item in the statement of financial
position and identified those line items that
could have the potential to be significantly
impacted by climate-related risks and our
plans to mitigate against these risks. Those line
items that have the potential to be significantly
impacted are those taken into consideration
forward looking information. Those items have
then been reviewed in detail to confirm:
• That the growth rates and projected cash
flows used in our goodwill impairment
assessments and for considerations
related to recognition of deferred
tax assets are consistent with our
climate related risk assumptions
• Useful life of our intangible assets are
appropriate given the risk of future
regulation and change in consumer
behaviour potentially requiring us to
change our development processes
• That the assumptions used when
considering impairment of our
inventories take into consideration our
climate related risk assessments
1.3 General accounting policies
Airthings has selected a presentation in which
the description of accounting policies as well
as estimates, assumptions and judgmental
considerations are disclosed in the notes
to which the policies relate. A summary of
the Group’s general accounting policies not
disclosed in the notes, are presented below:
Statement of cash flows
The consolidated statement of cash flows
is prepared using the indirect method.
New and amended standards
adopted by the Group
The Group applied for the first time certain
amendments to standards, which are effective
for annual periods beginning on or after 1
January 2023. The amended standards that
applied for the first time in 2023 did not have
any material impact on the consolidated
financial statements of 2023, except for:
Disclosure of Accounting Policies - Amendments
to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2
In February 2021, the IASB issued amendments
to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2 Making
Materiality Judgments, in which it provides
guidance and examples to help entities apply
materiality judgments to accounting policy
disclosures. The amendments aim to help entities
provide accounting policy disclosures that are
more useful by replacing the requirement for
entities to disclose their 'significant' accounting
policies with a requirement to disclose their
'material' accounting policies and adding
guidance on how entities apply the concept of
materiality in making decisions about accounting
policy disclosures. The amendments to IAS 1
are effective for these consolidated financial
statements beginning on 1 January 2023.
The Group has not made any voluntary
accounting policy changes in 2023.
Standards issued but not yet effective
The Group has not early adopted any
accounting standard, interpretation or
amendment that has been issued but is not
yet effective. The Group intends to adopt new
and amended standards and interpretations,
if relevant, when they become effective.
The Group does not expect any significant effects
related to upcoming standards and amendments.
The Group is currently revisiting their accounting
policy information disclosures to ensure
consistency with the amended requirements.
1.4 Significant accounting judgments,
estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the consolidated financial
statements in accordance with IFRS and
applying the chosen accounting policies requires
management to make judgments, estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts
Airthings — Annual Report 2023
40
of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.
The estimates and associated assumptions are
based on historical experience and various other
factors that are believed to be reasonable under
the circumstances. Actual results may differ from
these estimates. The estimates and the underlying
assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.
The accounting policies applied by management
which includes a significant degree of estimates
and assumptions or judgments that may have the
most significant effect on the amounts recognized
in the financial statements, are summarized below:
Estimates and assumptions:
• Recognition and measurement of
deferred tax assets (note 2.8)
• Value of inventory (note 3.1)
• Value in use calculations in relation to
impairment testing of goodwill (note 5.2)
• Estimating fair value for share-based
payments transactions (note 6.8)
A detailed description of the significant
estimates and assumptions are included
in the individual note referenced above.
The Group based its assumptions and
estimates on parameters available when
the consolidated financial statements
were prepared. Existing circumstances and
assumptions about future developments,
however, 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.
Accounting judgments:
• Determination of CGUs (note 5.2)

2.1 Operating segments
For management purposes, the Group
is organized into business areas based
on its different markets and has three
reportable segments, as follows:
• Consumer – sale of air quality
sensors to private customers through
retailers and e-commerce.
• Business – sale of air quality solutions
to schools, office buildings, and
other commercial buildings.
• Professional – sale of measurement
solutions which enables inspectors and
certified radon professionals to accurately
measure, analyze and report on buildings.
The professional segment also offers rental
of products and calibration services.
No operating segments have been aggregated to
form the above reportable operating segments.
Segment performance is evaluated by the
Board of Directors based on EBITDA and is
measured consistently with operating profit
or loss before depreciation and amortization
as reported under IFRS. The Group’s financing
(including finance costs and finance income),
depreciation and amortization and income taxes
are managed on a Group basis and are not
allocated to operating segments as underlying
assets are managed on a Group basis.
Group functions
The remaining of the Group’s activities and
business are shown in the “Group functions”
column in the tables below. These activities
mainly relate to R&D, marketing, and
administrative functions of the Group.
The Group previously reported direct marketing
activities, such as performance marketing
and channel marketing, as “Group functions”
in 2022. These costs have been attributed
to each segment from 2023 create a more
correct picture of the individual segment
performance and explain the increase seen
in Consumer’s “Other operating expenses”.
Assets and liabilities by reporting segment
is not included in management reporting
and is therefore not disclosed separately
within the operating segments.

2.2 Revenue
Airthings is a manufacturer of air quality sensors
and related software products for air quality, radon
measurement and energy efficiency solutions. The
Group’s revenue from contracts with customers is
reported in three main segments as described in
note 2.1: Consumer, Business and Professional.
To the private customer, Airthings is
selling sensors for monitoring air quality
and radon in private homes, through
distributors/resellers and Airthings.com.
Airthings for Business is the Group’s B2B
segment, selling solutions to schools, office
buildings, and other commercial buildings. For
the business segment, the Customer can choose
to buy an extensively more advanced software
(a SaaS – solution) than the one offered to
consumers. Airthings provides significant support
and upgrades through the cloud-based SaaS
subscription. If the customer decides to cancel
their subscription after the initial contract term,
they will still keep their device and can continue
to use them without the software. The customer
may also reorder the subscription at a later stage.
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Identifying Performance obligation
In the consumer segment, sales generally
consist of the provision of air quality monitors
with additional apps that can be downloaded
for free, providing display features etc. Such
arrangements are generally regarded as two
performance obligations; i.e. the air quality
monitor and the software/app. However, the
relative stand-alone selling price for the app is
considered insignificant, and revenue is only
allocated to the sale of air quality monitors.
Within the business segment, revenue is generally
considered to consist of two performance
obligations: sale of devices (hardware) and sale
of SaaS-services. The revenue is allocated based
on the relative stand-alone selling prices.
Revenue streams
Sale of air quality sensors
Some of the Group’s contracts for the sale of air
quality sensors are with distributors/resellers
which are not the end-users. The distributors
control the goods before these are sold to
the end-customer, i.e., the distributors act
as principals. As such, the Group recognizes
revenue from sale of air quality sensors
to the distributors on a gross basis upon
delivery to the distributors. The payment
terms normally range from 30 to 90 days.
Revenue from sale of air quality sensors
through Airthings.com is recognized when
the sensor is delivered to the customer.
Consideration payable to a customer
Consideration payable to a customer includes
cash amounts that the Group pays, or expects
to pay, to a customer. The Group’s contracts
involve in certain cases consideration payable
to distributors related to various services.
This includes marketing initiatives (such as
in-store promotions and sponsored links to
products) campaigns (sale of air quality sensors
at a reduced price to end customers during a
promotional period), and damage allowance
(consideration to cover the distributor’s returns
and disposals from the end customers) among
others. The consideration for marketing initiatives
and campaigns is accounted for as a reduction
of the transaction price and is recognized at
the same time as the revenue from sale of the
related air quality sensors. Damage allowance,
corresponding to actual estimated normal
assurance type warranty costs of own products,
are accounted for as operating expenses, as
long as the cost/provision can be reasonably
estimated. In addition, arrangements where the
Group obtains distinct services from distributor
that are independent of the Group’s sales to the
distributor on the other hand, such as specific
marketing services and other vendor services, are
accounted for as operating expenses in line with
Airthings — Annual Report 2023
44
the regular purchase of services.
The consideration is estimated when the
sale occurs (based on the expected value
of sales to the customer) and recognized
as other liabilities (refer to note 3.5).
Sale of Software as a service (“SaaS”)
Many of the Group’s air quality sensors have
a SaaS/an app availability. In the business
segment, the air quality sensor is linked to a SaaS
subscription which is paid upfront. In addition to
connecting the devices together and providing
significant features of tracking and comparing
the air quality in the building, the Group also
provides significant support and upgrades
throughout the subscription period. The prepaid
annual subscription fee is recognized on a
straight-line basis over the subscription period to
reflect the transfer of control to the customer.
Contract liabilities
Contract liabilities mainly relate to remuneration
received in advance for SaaS subscriptions.
Refer to note 3.3 for further description
of the Group’s contract liabilities.
Sale of calibration services
Revenue from sale of calibration services in
the professional market is recognized at a
fixed price when the service is performed.
Rental income
Rental income is derived from rental of
equipment, such as Corentium Pro, in the
professional segment. Rental income is accounted
for on a straight-line basis over the lease term
and is presented as revenues in the consolidated
statement of comprehensive income. Initial direct
costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an
operating lease are added to the carrying amount
of the leased asset and recognized over the
lease term on the same basis as rental income.

2.3 Employee benefit expenses
Employee benefit expenses comprise all types
of remuneration to personnel employed by the
Group and are expensed when earned. Ordinary
salary can be both fixed pay and hourly wages
and is earned and paid periodically. Holiday
pay is earned on the basis of ordinary pay and
is normally paid in the holiday months of the
following year. The employer’s national insurance
contribution (social security) is calculated and
expensed for all payroll related costs including
pensions. Pensions contributions are earned
on a monthly basis. Share-based payment
expenses are related to the Group’s share
option program (see note 6.8). For information
on remuneration to Management and the
Board of Directors, including disclosures on
shares and share options held, see note 7.1.
Pensions
The Group has a defined contribution pension
plan for its employees which satisfies the
statutory requirements in the Norwegian
law on required occupational pension (“lov
om obligatorisk tjenestepensjon”).
Contributions are paid to pension insurance
plans and charged to the income statement
in the period to which the contributions
relate. Once the contributions have been paid,
there are no further payment obligations.

2.8 Income tax
Current income tax
Current income tax is measured at the amount
expected to be recovered from or paid to the
taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws
used to compute the amount are those that
are enacted or substantively enacted at the
reporting date in the countries where the Group
operates and generates taxable income.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax assets are recognized to the
extent that it is probable that taxable profit
will be available against which the deductible
temporary differences and the carry forward of
unused tax losses can be utilized. The carrying
amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at
each reporting date and reduced to the extent
that it is no longer probable that sufficient
taxable profit will be available to allow all or
part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized. 
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
In assessing the recoverability of deferred tax
assets, the Group relies on the same forecast
assumptions used elsewhere in the financial
statements and in other management reports.
As most of the deferred tax assets and
liabilities relates to Airthings ASA (parent
company), these are to a large extent offset
in the consolidated financial statements.
Significant management judgment is required
to determine the amount of deferred tax assets
that can be recognized, based upon the likely
timing and the level of future taxable profits,
together with future tax planning strategies.
As at 31 December 2023, the Group had USD
38.0 million of tax losses carried forward in
the parent company (31 December 2022:
USD 30.6 million), which have been fully
recognized as deferred tax assets in the
consolidated financial statements as the
Group considers it to be probable that these
taxable losses may be utilized in the future.
When assessing the probability of utilizing these
losses, the Group considers factors such as:
Positive evidence
• Historical tax losses are mainly related
to a desired expansion strategy and
significant expenses related to research
and development. In response, Airthings
adapted its strategy and approach to
enable both scalability and profitability.
The new strategy, called Airthings 3.0,
builds on a more selective and disciplined
go-to-market approach, a sharper focus
on unit economics and customer lifetime
value, and continued improvements of
the software offering to further enhance
the value proposition. The aim of the
strategy is to drive scalable growth from
improved gross margins and revenue
growth above operating cost development,
and shortening the path to profitability.
The strategic changes were implemented
during the first half of 2023, and the
Company saw gradually stronger effects
over the three last quarters of the year.
• Based on board-approved budgets and
forecasts for the period 2024-2027,
Airthings expects to utilize a significant
portion of the loss carryforward by
2027. A reduction of 5% in budgeted and
forecasted accumulated EBIT for the period
2024-2027 would have led to a partial
impairment of deferred tax assets in 2023.
Foreign exchange (USD 1,000) 2023 2022Foreign exchange gain 5,095 7,341 Foreign exchange loss 4,840 6,429 Net foreign exchange gain (loss) 256 912
Airthings — Annual Report 2023
49
Negative evidence
• Airthings ASA currently has a net deferred tax
asset and lacks sufficient taxable temporary
differences against which it can be utilized.
• Airthings ASA is the only Norwegian company
in the Group, with limited opportunities for
tax planning such as Group contributions.
Overall, the Group has as of 31 December 2023
determined that the positive evidence outweighs
existing negative evidence to support recognition
of deferred tax assets and thus the 50% probability
threshold (“more likely than not”) is considered
as passed. However, there are uncertainties
connected with the Group’s forecasts of taxable
profit. If the Group had concluded that the 50%
probability threshold was not met and concluded
not to recognize deferred tax assets (limited to
partly recognition or no recognition at all), this
would have caused a decrease in deferred tax
assets, decrease in negative tax expense and in
the end a decrease in equity. No recognition at
all of deferred tax assets related to taxable losses
would in isolation result in an equity reduction
of USD 8.4 million as at 31 December 2023.

* The permanent differences are related to SkatteFUNN, options and other non-deductible costs among the Group's entities.
The Group’s operations are subject to income tax in
various foreign jurisdictions. The statutory income
tax rates vary from 20.6% to 22%, which results in
a difference between the statutory income tax rate
in Norway and the average tax rate applicable to
t he Group. The effect from the statutory income
tax rates from other countries (Sweden and the
USA) on the Group tax rate is very limited as the
main operations are in Norway. The average tax
rate for the Group’s deferred tax assets is 22.07%
for 31.12.2023 and 21.65% for 31.12.2022.
A reconciliation of the differences between the
theoretical tax expense under the rate applicable in
Norway and the actual tax expense is as follows:

3.1 Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and
net realizable value. Inventory costs comprise cost
of goods sold, impairment, and obsolete goods.
• Sensors and components: Sensors and other
critical items that are utilized in production.
Purchase cost on a first-in/first-out basis (FIFO)
• Finished goods: Stock keeping units that are
sold to customers. Includes cost of direct
materials, direct wages, packaging and a
proportion of manufacturing overheads
based on the normal operating capacity.
3.2 Trade and other receivables
Trade and other receivables
The Group’s trade receivables consist solely of
amounts receivable from revenue contracts
with customers. Other receivables consist
mainly of prepaid expenses and government
grant receivables. Trade and other receivables
are financial assets initially recognized at fair
value and subsequently at amortized cost
using the effective interest rate method. 
Expected credit losses
The Group recognizes an allowance for expected
credit losses (ECLs) for its financial assets based
on the cash flows that the Group expects to
receive. For trade receivables, the Group applies a
simplified approach in calculating ECLs. Therefore,
the Group does not track changes in credit risk,
but instead recognizes a loss allowance based
on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. The
Group uses a provision matrix to calculate ECLs
for trade receivables. The provision rates are

In 2023, there was a partial write-down of USD 31 thousands related to finished goods. In 2022, there
was a write down of finished goods of USD 223 thousands related to the de-recognition of the Airtight
technology. There were no reversal of write-down of components or finished goods in the periods
presented.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
Value of inventories
The valuation of inventory at net realisable value involves judgment made by management. The
inventory is reviewed periodically to secure that the book value of stock is greater than its net
realisable value. Write-downs are made for obsolete items based on assessment of the age distribution
of inventory items and whether the items are part of an active or expired product range.

3.3 Contract liabilities
The Group’s contract liabilities relate to
prepayments for SaaS subscriptions which
are normally paid 12 months in advance. As
such, the balance of account at the end of the
year represents the Group’s deferred revenue
related to performance obligations that will be
satisfied within one year. The Group’s contract

As at 31 December the ageing analysis of trade receivables is, as follows:
based on days past due, product type, customer
type and rating, and coverage by letters of
credit or other forms of credit insurance. The
provision matrix is initially based on the Group’s
historical observed default rates. The matrix will
be calibrated to adjust the historical credit loss
experience with forward-looking information.

liabilities for accrued bonuses and
other salary related accruals.
• Social security for share-based payments:
contains other liabilities for the accrued
social security on share options and
restrictive share units which will be paid
when the options are exercised. As part
of the share-based payment program,
employees are required to compensate
the Group for social security taxes payable
upon exercise. Hence, a corresponding
receivable has been recognized as other
non-current assets in the balance sheet.
• Consideration payable to a customer:
contains other liabilities for accrued
consideration to a customer.
• Liabilities on government grants:
contains other liabilities related to
government grant from Innovation
Norway that has not yet been earned.

5.1 Intangible assets
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Intangible assets acquired
Intangible assets acquired separately are
measured at cost on initial recognition. The
cost of intangible assets acquired in a business
combination is their fair value on the date of
acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible
assets are carried at cost less any accumulated
amortization and accumulated impairment losses.
Capitalization of internal development costs
Development expenditures on an individual
project are recognized as an intangible
asset when the Group can demonstrate
the technical feasibility, intention, ability,
and resources to complete and utilize the
asset, as well as the generation of future
economic benefits and reliable measurement
of the expenditure during development.
Useful lives and subsequent measurement
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives
(goodwill) are measured at cost less any
accumulated impairment losses. Those with
finite useful lives are amortized over their
economic life and tested for impairment when
indicators arise. The amortization period for
capitalized development costs will be set as
3 or 5 years. In general, the more customer-
facing a platform or product is, the shorter the
useful life of the asset is expected to be. If an
asset is planned to be replaced or retired before
the end of the depreciation period, a formal
management decision is conducted to adjust
the useful life and accelerate amortization.
Changes in the expected useful life are
treated as accounting estimate changes.

5.2 Goodwill & impairment considerations
Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the
excess of the aggregate of the consideration
transferred, the amount recognized for
non-controlling interests, and any previous
interest held over the net identifiable
assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at
cost less any accumulated impairment losses.
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 (CGUs) that are
expected to benefit from the combination,
irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities
of the acquiree are assigned to those units. 
Impairment considerations
Goodwill is tested for impairment annually as at
31 December and when circumstances indicate
that the carrying value may be impaired.
Impairment is determined by assessing the
recoverable amount of each CGU (or group
of CGUs) to which goodwill relates. When the
recoverable amount of the CGU is less than
the carrying amount, an impairment loss is
recognized. Impairment losses relating to
goodwill cannot be reversed in future periods.
The Group applies the value-in-use model
for determining recoverable amount for the
purpose of goodwill impairment testing.
For more information on the model and
key assumptions, see description below.
All of the Group's goodwill is allocated to the Business segment CGU.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS
Business segment – CGU
For impairment testing, goodwill acquired through
the business combination of Airtight was allocated to
the business segment CGU. The business segment
CGU is the smallest identifiable group of assets
that generates cash inflows to the Group (that
goodwill can be allocated to), and these are largely
independent of the cash inflows from other assets.

CGU Revenue EBITDA Terminal Pre-tax dis-growth in the margin growth ratecount rateforecast period*Business CGU - 31 December 202340.1 % 13.50% 2.0 % 14.7 %
*Revenue growth rate is based on a compound annual growth rate (CAGR)
Basis for determining the recoverable amount
The CGUs recoverable amount has been determined
based on its value in use. In assessing value in use,
the estimated future cash flows are discounted to
their present value using a pre-tax discount rate
that reflects current market assessments of the
time value of money and the risks specific to the
asset. The cash flows are derived from detailed
budget and forecast calculations for the next
four years approved by the Board of Directors.
Restructuring activities and significant future
investments are excluded from the budgets. A
long-term growth rate is calculated and applied to
project future cash flows after the fifth year. The
recoverable amount is sensitive to revenue growth
in the forecast period, the discount rate, expected
future cash flows and the terminal growth rate.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
Impairment testing of goodwill
The calculation of value in use for the CGU’s are
most sensitive to the following assumptions:
• Revenue growth
• Free cash flow margin (before tax)
• Pre-tax discount rate
• Terminal growth rate
Revenue growth
The expected growth in revenues is based
on trends in the industry and the Group’s
market share. The growth forecast is based on
management’s expectations of future conditions
in the markets, and has been determined as
part of the yearly budget process. Macro trends
such as the increasing awareness of Indoor Air
Quality (IAQ) and heightened focus on energy
costs and sustainability are anticipated to intensify
in the years ahead. Management also expects
Airthings’ market position to remain largely
constant. Given these factors, management has
performed both a bottoms-up and top-down
forecasting of growth in Airthings for Business
and the assumption is presented as the constant
average growth rate over the forecast period.
EBITDA margin
The EBITDA margin is determined from an
analysis of historical levels before tax, adjusted for
expected changes to employee benefit expenses,
other expenses, capital expenditures and changes
to working capital. This, combined with an
assumption of a larger share of revenues coming
from software subscription, as well as operational
improvements, results in an improved EBITDA
margin than has been experienced historically.
Pre-tax discount rate
The discount rate reflects the current market
assessment of the risks specific to the CGU. The
pre-tax discount rate is estimated based on
the weighted average cost of capital (WACC).
Terminal growth rate
The terminal growth rate is the estimated
long-term rate of growth in the economy where
the business operates, aligned with long term
global inflation targets. The key assumptions
used to determine the recoverable amount
for the business CGU are presented below:
Airthings — Annual Report 2023
60
The recoverable amount of the cash generating units are higher than their carrying amount and no
impairment loss has been recognized in the current or prior period.
Sensitivity analysis
Future events could cause the key assumptions to deviate from the amounts used in the forecast
period. The Group has performed a sensitivity analysis for each key assumption; revenue growth in
the forecast period, EBITDA margin (before tax), terminal growth rate and the pre-tax discount rate.
Management believes that no reasonably possible change in the key assumptions above would cause
the carrying amount of the CGU to materially exceed its recoverable amount.

5.3 Property, plant and equipment
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Property, plant and equipment (“PP&E”) is stated
at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and
accumulated impairment losses. When significant
parts of PP&E are required to be replaced at
intervals, the Group depreciates them separately
based on their specific useful lives. All other repair
and maintenance costs are recognized in profit or
loss as incurred.
No indicators for impairment of property, plant and
equipment were identified in the current or prior
period.

5.4 Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Group as a lessee
At the commencement date of a lease, the Group
recognizes a lease liability and corresponding
right-of-use asset in the balance sheet, except
for the following exemptions applied:
• Short-term leases (defined
as 12 months or less)
• Low value assets (with an underlying
value of less than USD 5 thousands)
For these leases, the Group recognizes
the lease payments as operating
expenses in the consolidated statement
of comprehensive income.
The Group as a lessor
The Group acts as a lessor through the
professional segment through the rental of
equipment such as Corentium Pro. These are
primarily short-term operating leases where
the Group retains substantially all the risks
and rewards incidental to ownership of the
asset. Initial direct costs related to operating
leases are included in the carrying amount
of the leased asset and recognized over the
lease term in line with rental income.
The Group’s assets under operating leases are
included as property, plant and equipment and
presented as rental instruments in note 5.3.
The Group’s rental income under
operating leases is included as revenue
in the consolidated statement of profit
or loss and specified in note 2.2.
The Group’s leased assets
The Group’s leases are mainly related to
office space in Oslo and Bergen, Norway.
Additionally, the Group leases office space
in Stockholm, Sweden and Fort Worth,
Texas, USA. Leases of office space generally
have lease terms between 2 and 4 years.
The Group’s right-of-use assets recognized

6.1 Overview of financial instruments
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Group’s financial instruments are
grouped in the following categories:
Financial Assets
The Group’s financial assets mainly comprise
trade receivables and cash and cash equivalents.
Reference is made to note 3.2 for information
about the Group’s policies related to
estimating expected credit losses.
Financial Liabilities
The Group’s financial liabilities mainly comprise
interest-bearing liabilities and trade payables.
Initial recognition and
subsequent measurement
The Group's financial assets and liabilities are
initially recognized at fair value, adjusted for
directly attributable transaction expenses.
Subsequently, these instruments are measured
at amortized cost using the effective interest
method (EIR). Gains and losses are recognized in
profit or loss upon impairment, derecognition,
and through the EIR amortization process.
The carrying amount of the Group’s
financial assets and liabilities are
presented in the tables below:

6.2 Interest-bearing debt
Revolving credit facility
In 1Q 2023 Airthings secured a USD 8 million
revolving credit facility (RCF) for a 1-year period
with an annual renewal with Danske Bank. In
January 2024, Airthings received credit approval
for renewal of the RCF subject to documentation
and closing procedures which is expected to be
within March 2024. The size of the new facility
will be reduced from USD 8 to 6 million. As of 31
December 2023, USD 0.0 million of the facility
was utilized. The RCF has a tenor of 12 months
and falls due in March 2024. When the facility is
utilized, it will be classified as short-term interest-
bearing debt in the financial statements.

6.4 Financial risk management
Overview
The Group is exposed to a range of risks
affecting its financial performance, including
market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.
The Group seeks to minimize potential
adverse effects of such risks through sound
business practice and risk management.
Market risk
Financial instruments affected by market
risk include interest-bearing debt, cash and
cash equivalents, trade receivables, lease
liabilities and trade and other payables.
Interest rate risk
The Group’s exposure to the risk of changes in
interest rates relates primarily to the growth loan
from Innovation Norway. The Group has no other
interest-bearing debt, and management therefore
considers the interest rate risk to be low.
Foreign currency risk
The Group’s exposure to the risk of fluctuations
in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to
it’s operating activities (trade receivables, cash
and trade payables denominated in a foreign
currency). A significant part of revenues is
denominated in USD, with a small portion
incurred in NOK, EUR, CAD and GBP. Most of
its operating expenses are incurred in NOK.
The Group does not currently hedge currency
exposure with the use of financial instruments
but monitors the net exposure over time.
Geopolitical risks
War in Ukraine — the ongoing war does not
currently impact the Group directly, as it
has no operating presence in either Russia,
Belarus or Ukraine. Indirect effects however,
such as financial market volatility, sanctions
related knock-on effects, general economic
market conditions and other future responses

Credit risk
The Group is mainly exposed to credit risk from
its operating activities. The risk is minimized
through close connection with the Group’s largest
customers and monitoring of receivable balances
on an ongoing basis. The Group’s losses have
historically been low. However, the increased
operations of the Group outside the US and home
market exposes the Group to different credit risk
environments. The Board of Directors deems credit
risk to be at an acceptable level given the current
operational circumstances and outlook of the
Group.
Reference is made to note 3.2 for an overview of
the ageing of trade receivables and a description
of the expected credit losses recognized.
Liquidity risk
The Group may potentially encounter difficulties
in meeting obligations associated with financial
liabilities that are settled by provision of
cash or another financial asset. The Group
supervises its risk by monitoring its working
capital, and overdue trade receivables. The
Group’s cash position has weakened since
2021. To improve the cash situation the Group
of international governments, might have an
impact on the Group’s financial results and
financial position. The Group’s management
continues to monitor the situation and has an
ongoing assessment of potential impact on the
Group’s financial results and financial position.
War in Israel/Gaza – the ongoing war in Israel/
Gaza is not currently impacting the Group, despite
the Group having limited production in Israel. The
Group’s contract manufacturer for one product is
located near Tel Aviv and therefore not in direct
proximity to the ongoing armed conflict. The
Group’s exposure is very limited, but management
continues to monitor the situation and has an
ongoing assessment of potential impact on the
Group’s financial results and financial position.
Foreign currency sensitivity
The following table illustrates the sensitivity
for a hypothetical increase or decrease
in the foreign exchange rates related to
the Group’s financial assets and liabilities
holding all other variables constant:
*The Group has no financial instruments through OCI and hence the effects on equity are zero.
Airthings — Annual Report 2023

has intensified its focus on optimizing business
operations and reducing inventories. This effort
includes promotional activities to increase
sales and along with cost-saving initiatives.
To further improve its liquidity position, the
Group entered into a USD 8 million revolving
credit facility with Danske Bank in 1Q 2023. In
January 2024, the Group received credit approval
for renewal of the RCF subject to documentation
and closing procedures which is expected to be
within March 2024. The size of the new facility
will be reduced from USD 8 to 6 million, see note
6.2. The Group also raised NOK 75 million in
gross proceeds through a private placement of
23,437,500 shares in 1Q 2023. In addition, the
Group secured funding from Innovation Norway
in the form of a grant NOK 17 million and a loan
of NOK 24 million. NOK 5.1 million of the grant
and NOK 14 million of the loan were paid out
to the Group in 2Q 2023. The liquidity risk is
hence considered to be at a reasonable level.
An overview of the maturity profile of the Group’s
financial liabilities with corresponding cash
flow effect is presented in note 6.3 and 6.10.
6.5 Fair value measurement
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Fair value is the price that would be received
to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability
in an orderly transaction between market
participants on the measurement date. The
fair value measurement is based on the
presumption that the transaction to sell the
asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
• In the principal market for the asset or liability,
or
• In the absence of a principal market, in the
most advantageous market for the asset or
liability
The principal or the most advantageous
market must be accessible by the Group.
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured
using the assumptions that market participants
would use when pricing the asset or liability,
assuming that market participants act in their
economic best interest. A fair value measurement
of a non-financial asset takes into account a
market participant's ability to generate economic
benefits by using the asset in its highest and best
use or by selling it to another participant that
would use the asset in its highest and best use.
The Group uses valuation techniques that are
appropriate in the circumstances and for which
sufficient data are available to measure fair value,
maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs
and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value
is measured or disclosed in the financial
statements are categorized within the fair
value hierarchy, described as follows, based
on the lowest level input that is significant to
the fair value measurement as a whole:
• Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) market prices
in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities

Fair value disclosures
Management has assessed that the fair
values of cash and short-term deposits,
trade and other receivables, trade payables
and other current liabilities approximate
their carrying amounts largely due to the
short-term maturities of these instruments
and the current risk free interest rates.
Interest-bearing liabilities
The fair values of the Group’s interest-
bearing loans and borrowings are determined
by using the discounted cash flow (DCF)
method using a discount rate that reflects the
issuer’s borrowing rate as at the end of the
reporting period. The own non-performance
risk was assessed to be insignificant.

6.8 Share-based payments
Equity-settled transactions
The cost of equity-settled transactions is
determined by the fair value at the grant date
using the Black-Scholes-Merton Model (“BSM”).
The cost is recognized as an employee benefits
expense, with a corresponding increase in
equity (other capital reserves), over the vesting
period. The cumulative expense recognized
for equity-settled transactions at each
reporting date until the vesting date reflects
the Group’s best estimate of the number of
equity instruments that will ultimately vest.
Vesting under the Group’s option schemes is
subject to employment by the Group (service
condition). Service conditions are not taken
into account when determining the grant date
fair value of awards, but the likelihood of the
conditions being met is assessed as part of the
Group’s best estimate of the number of equity
instruments that will ultimately vest. No expense is
recognized for awards that do not ultimately vest
because service conditions have not been met.
Share option plans — description
Option scheme 2018
Each option grant vest as follows (subject
to employment by the Group): 25% of the
options are vested 12 months from the grant
date, then 1/48 vest each month thereafter.
Full vesting occurs after four years, and last
possible exercise is 10 years from grant date.
Options scheme 2021 - 2023
Options granted prior to the Annual General
Meeting in 2021 vest in tranches over four years.
25% of the options vest one year after the grant
date and the remaining 75% of the options vest
in monthly tranches over the next 36 months,
subject to employment by the Group. The options
can be exercised after they are fully vested until
they expire 10 years after the grant date.
Options granted after the Annual General Meeting
in 2021 vest with equal tranches with 25% each
year starting one year after the grant date (subject
to employment by the Group). The options
can be exercised after they are fully vested
until they expire 5 years after the grant date.
Share options held by members of the Board
and management at the end of the reporting
period are summarized in note 7.1.
USD 292 thousands was expensed as employee
benefit expenses in the period (USD 364
thousands in 2022). The expected future
social security tax on share-based payments is
recorded as a liability and disclosed in note 3.5.
Change of strike price for employee share options
On the 20 February 2023 Airthings announced a
change in strike price for employee share options.
The Company adjusted the strike-price for all
Aithings' employees' option agreements with a
strike price above NOK 3.20. The total number of
adjusted options was 5,736,232 and resulted in a
total incremental cost to the Company of USD 110
thousands. The new strike price is NOK 3.20.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
AND ASSUMPTIONS
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 options,
volatility and dividend yield and making
assumptions about them. Due to limited
historical data and liquidity these assumptions
include significant estimates by management.
Assumptions used to determine fair value
of option grants:
The following table list the inputs to
the model used for the plans for the
years ended 31 December 2023 and
31 December 2022, respectively:
The expected life of the options is based on historical data and current expectations and is not
necessarily indicative of exercise patterns that may occur. The expected volatility reflects the
assumption that the historical volatility over a period similar to the life of the options is indicative of
future trends, which may not necessarily be the actual outcome.

This section includes information about alternative performance measures (APMs) applied by the Group.
These alternative performance measures are presented to improve the ability
of stakeholders to evaluate the Group's operating performance.
The Group applies the following APMs:
Annual recurring revenue (ARR)
ARR is the value of annualized sales from all active subscriptions, licenses and service
contracts within the Airthings for Business and Professional segments. The calculation is
based on monthly subscription fees as at 31 December (MRR), multiplied by 12 in order to
represent an annualized figure. The numbers presented in the table below are translated
from NOK to USD applying the average NOK/USD exchange rate for 2023 and 2022
respectively. ARR is considered an important supplemental measure for stakeholders to get
an overall understanding of revenue generation within the Group's operating activities.
EBITDA
The Group's earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) is used
to provide consistent information on Airthings' operating performance relative to other
companies, and is frequently used by analysts, investors and other stakeholders when
evaluating the financial performance of the Group. EBITDA, as defined by Airthings, includes
total operating revenue and excludes depreciation, amortization and impairment loss.
For a reconciliation of EBITDA, refer to the consolidated statement of profit or loss.

considerations are disclosed in the notes to which
the policies relate. A summary of the Company’s
general accounting are presented below:
Current versus non-current classification
The Group presents assets and liabilities in
the statement of financial position based
on current/ non-current classification.
An asset is current when it is:
• Expected to be realized or intended to be sold
or consumed in the normal operating cycle,
• Held primarily for the purpose of trading,
• Expected to be realised within twelve
months after the reporting period, or
• Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted
from being exchanged or used to settle
a liability for at least twelve months
after the reporting period. All other
assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is current when:
• It is expected to be settled in the
normal operating cycle,
• It is held primarily for the purpose of trading,
• It is due to be settled within twelve
months after the reporting period, or
• There is no unconditional right to defer
the settlement of the liability for at
least twelve months after the reporting
period. The Company classifies all other
liabilities as non-current. Deferred tax
assets and liabilities are classified as
non-current assets and liabilities.
Section 1 — General information
and accounting policies
Airthings — Annual Report 2023
94
Statement of cash flows
The consolidated statement of cash flows
is prepared using the indirect method.
1.4 Significant accounting judgments,
estimates and assumptions
The preparation of accounts in accordance
with the Accounting Act requires the use of
estimates. It also requires Group management
to exercise judgment in applying the Group’s
accounting policies. The areas where significant
judgments and estimates have been made
in preparing the financial statements and
their effect are disclosed in the notes.
1.5 Revenue
Income from sale of goods and services are
recognized at fair value, net after deduction
of VAT, returns, discounts and reductions.
Revenue from sale of goods
Revenue from sale of goods are recognized
in the income statement when both risk and
control have passed on to the buyer. The risk
being the asset’s profit and loss potential, whilst
control is defined as having both the decision-
making rights as well as the jurisdiction. Normally
this will be when the goods are delivered to
the customer. Historical data is applied to
estimate and make provisions for quantity
discount and returns at the date of sales.
Revenue from sale of software
as a service (SaaS)
The Company also has revenue from license
fees, which are SaaS contracts consisting of
a software licensing model where software is
licensed on a subscription basis and centralized
on Airthings platform. Revenue from SaaS
arrangements, where the customer cannot take
possession of the software license and where the
software license cannot be separated from its
related hosting services are considered as “right
to access” licenses and revenue is recognized
over time (i.e. the subscription period).
1.6 Share-based payments
Airthings has a share-based payment program
where all employees are granted share options
when they commence in their position.
Equity-settled transactions
The cost of equity-settled transactions is
determined by the fair value at the date when
the grant is made using an appropriate valuation
model (the Black-Scholes-Merton Model).
That cost is recognized in employee benefits
expense, together with a corresponding increase
in equity (other capital reserves), over the period
in which the service and, where applicable, the
performance conditions are fulfilled (the vesting
period). The cumulative expense recognized for
equity-settled transactions at each reporting date
until the vesting date reflects the extent to which
the vesting period has expired and the Company’s
best estimate of the number of equity instruments
that will ultimately vest. The expense or credit in the
statement of profit or loss for a period represents
the movement in cumulative expense recognized
as at the beginning and end of that period.
Service and non-market performance conditions
are not taken into account when determining
the grant date fair value of awards, but the
likelihood of the conditions being met is
assessed as part of the Company’s best estimate
of the number of equity instruments that will
ultimately vest. Market performance conditions
are reflected within the grant date fair value.
Any other conditions attached to an award,
but without an associated service requirement,
are considered to be non-vesting conditions.
Non-vesting conditions are reflected in the fair
value of an award and lead to an immediate
expensing of an award unless there are also
service and/or performance conditions.
No expense is recognized for awards that
do not ultimately vest because non-market
performance and/or service conditions have
not been met. Where awards include a market
or non-vesting condition, the transactions are
treated as vested irrespective of whether the
Airthings — Annual Report 2023
95
market or non-vesting condition is satisfied,
provided that all other performance and/
or service conditions are satisfied.
1.7 Pensions
The Company has a defined contribution
pension plan for its employees which satisfies
the statutory requirements in the Norwegian
law on required occupational pension (“lov
om obligatorisk tjenestepensjon”).
The scheme is a defined contribution plan.
Contributions are paid to pension insurance
plans and charged to the income statement
in the period to which the contributions
relate. Once the contributions have been paid,
there are no further payment obligations.
1.8 Goodwill
Recognized goodwill in the Company is derived
from the merger with Airtight in 2021. Goodwill is
depreciated over five years. In addition, goodwill
is reviewed for impairment, annually or more
frequently if events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying value may be impaired.
1.9 Intangible assets
Expenditure on own Research and Development
are expensed as and when they incur. Expenses
for other intangible assets are reflected in the
balance sheet providing a future financial benefit
relating to the development of an identifiable
intangible asset can be identified and the cost
can be measured reliably. Otherwise, such
expenditure is expensed as and when incurred.
Capitalised development costs are amortized
linearly over the asset’s expected useful life.
1.10 Fixed assets
Property, plant and equipment (“PP&E”) are
capitalised and depreciated linearly down to the
residual value over the expected useful economic
life of the assets. When the depreciation plan
is changed, the effect is distributed over the
remaining depreciation period. Maintenance of
operating equipment is expensed on an ongoing
basis. Upgrades or improvements are added to
the acquisition cost of the asset and depreciated
in line with the asset. The difference between
maintenance and upgrade / improvement is
assessed based on the condition of the asset when
purchased. Plots and land are not depreciated.
Costs related to leases of fixed assets are expensed
over the lease period. Prepayments are reflected
in the balance sheet as a prepaid expense,
and are distributed over the rental period.
1.11 Impairment of intangible
and fixed assets
Impairment tests are carried out if there is
indication that the carrying amount of an asset
exceeds the estimated recoverable amount. The
test is performed on the lowest level of fixed assets
at which independent ingoing cashflows can be
identified. If the carrying amount is higher than
both the fair value less cost to sell and the value in
use (net present value of future use/ ownership),
the asset is written down to the highest of fair
value less cost to sell and the value in use.
Previous impairment charges, except
write-down of goodwill, are reversed in
later periods if the conditions causing the
write-down are no longer present.
1.12 Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost
and net realizable value. Costs incurred in
bringing each product to its present location
and condition are accounted for, as follows:
• Sensors and components: Sensors
and other critical items that are
utilized in production. Purchase cost
on a first-in/ first-out basis (FIFO)
• Finished goods: Stock keeping units. Cost of
direct materials, direct wages, packaging and
a proportion of manufacturing overheads
based on the normal operating capacity
Net realizable value is the estimated selling
price in the ordinary course of business,
less estimated costs of completion and the
estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
Airthings — Annual Report 2023
96
1.13 Investments in Subsidiaries
Investments in subsidiaries are valued at cost
in the Company’s financial statements. The
investment is valued as cost of the shares in
the subsidiary, less any impairment losses. An
impairment loss is recognized if the impairment
is not considered temporary, in accordance with
the generally accepted accounting principles.
Impairment losses are reversed if the reason for
the impairment loss disappears in a later period.
1.14 Receivables
Trade receivables and other receivables
are recorded in the balance sheet at face
value after deduction of provisions for
expected loss. Provisions for losses are
made on the basis of individual assessments
of the individual receivables. Additionally,
for accounts receivables, an unspecified
provision is made to cover expected losses.
1.15 Income taxes
Current income tax
Current income tax assets and liabilities for
the current and prior periods are measured
at the amount expected to be recovered
from or paid to the taxation authorities.
The tax rates and tax laws used to compute
the amount are those that are enacted or
substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred Tax
Deferred tax is provided using the liability
method on temporary differences at the
balance sheet date between the tax bases
of assets and liabilities and their carrying
amounts for financial reporting purposes.
Deferred tax liabilities have been recognized
for all taxable temporary differences.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for all
deductible temporary differences, the carry-
forward of unused tax losses, to the extent
that it is probable that taxable profit will
be available against which the deductible
temporary differences, and the carry-forward
of unused tax losses can be utilized.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities
are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists
to set off current tax assets against current
income tax liabilities and the deferred taxes
relate to the same taxable company and the
same taxation authority. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are
expected to apply to the year when the asset is
realized, or the liability is settled, based on tax
rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or
substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.
1.16 Provisions
Provision for warranties and service work for
completed projects /sales is recorded at the
expected cost of such work. The estimate is
based on historical figures for service and
warranty repairs. The amount is recorded
under other current liabilities and is recognized
in the income statement on a straight-line
basis over the warranty and service period.
1.17 Foreign currencies
Transactions in foreign currency are translated
at the rate applicable on the transaction date.
Monetary assets, receivables and liabilities
are translated at the exchange rate on the
balance sheet date. Changes to exchange
rates are recognized in the income statement
as they occur during the accounting period.
Foreign currency gains or losses are reported
as foreign exchange gain or foreign exchange
loss in finance income or finance costs.

6.2 Financial risk management
Overview
The parent company is exposed to a range
of risks affecting its financial performance,
including market risk, credit risk and liquidity
risk. The Company seeks to minimize potential
adverse effects of such risks through sound
business practice and risk management.
Market risk
Financial instruments affected by market
risk include interest-bearing debt, cash
and cash equivalents, trade receivables
and trade and other payables.
Interest rate risk
The Company’s exposure to the risk of
changes in interest rates relates primarily
to the growth loan from Innovation Norway.
The Company has no other interest-
bearing debt, and management therefore
considers the interest rate risk to be low.
Foreign currency risk
The Company’s exposure to the risk of
fluctuations in foreign exchange rates
relates primarily to it’s operating activities
(trade receivables, cash and trade payables
denominated in a foreign currency). A significant
part of revenues is denominated in USD,
with a small portion incurred in NOK, EUR,
CAD and GBP. Most of its operating expenses
are incurred in NOK. The Company does
not currently hedge currency exposure
with the use of financial instruments but
monitors the net exposure over time.
Geopolitical risks
War in Ukraine — the ongoing war does not
currently impact the Company directly, as it
has no operating presence in either Russia,
Belarus or Ukraine. Indirect effects however,
such as financial market volatility, sanctions
related knock-on effects, general economic
market conditions and other future responses
of international governments, might have an
impact on the Group’s financial results and
financial position. The Company’s management
continues to monitor the situation and has an
ongoing assessment of potential impact on the
Company’s financial results and financial position.
War in Israel/Gaza – the ongoing war in Israel/
Gaza is not currently impacting the Company,
despite the Company having limited production
in Israel. The Company’s contract manufacturer
for one product is located near Tel Aviv and
Airthings — Annual Report 2023
107
therefore not in direct proximity to the ongoing
armed conflict. The Company’s exposure is very
limited, but management continues to monitor
the situation and has an ongoing assessment
of potential impact on the Company’s
financial results and financial position.
Credit risk
The Company is mainly exposed to credit risk
from its operating activities. The risk is minimized
through close connection with the Company’s
largest customers and monitoring of receivable
balances on an ongoing basis. The Company’s
losses have historically been low. However, the
increased operations of the Company’s outside
the US and home market exposes the Company
to different credit risk environments. The
Board of Directors deems credit risk to be at an
acceptable level given the current operational
circumstances and outlook of the Company.
Liquidity risk
The Company may potentially encounter
difficulties in meeting obligations associated with
financial liabilities that are settled by provision
of cash or another financial asset. The Company
supervises its risk by monitoring its working
capital, and overdue trade receivables. The
Company’s cash position has weakened since
2021. To improve the cash situation the Company
has intensified its focus on optimizing business
operations and reducing inventories. This effort
includes promotional activities to increase
sales and along with cost-saving initiatives.
To further improve its liquidity position, the
Company entered into a USD 8 million revolving
credit facility with Danske Bank in 1Q 2023.
In January 2024, the Company received credit
approval for renewal of the RCF subject to
documentation and closing procedures which
is expected to be within March 2024. The
size of the new facility will be reduced from
USD 8 to 6 million. The Company also raised
NOK 75 million in gross proceeds through
a private placement of 23,437,500 shares in
1Q 2023. In addition, the Company secured
funding from Innovation Norway in the form
of a grant NOK 17 million and a loan of NOK
24 million. NOK 5.1 million of the grant and
NOK 14 million of the loan were paid out to
the Company in 2Q 2023. The liquidity risk is
hence considered to be at a reasonable level.
