Q1 2014 in Brief

Q1 2014 was an exciting quarter for Cxense, with a range of new important customer wins for our Software-

as-a-Service (SaaS) business. The software development teams also made good progress with a number of

additional capabilities added to the Cxense software Solution Suite.

Q1 2014 revenues for the Cxense SaaS segment

amounted to USD 3.57 million, a growth of USD

2.73 million compared to Q1 2013 revenues of

USD 0.84 million. The quarter-to-quarter growth

from Q4 2013 to Q1 2014 amounted to USD 0.92

million (or 35%). The main growth drivers were

new customer contracts with recurring

subscription license revenues, subscription

license fee growth on existing customers, and the

acquisition of Emediate (the leading Nordic

advertising technology company)1.

The robust growth is increasing the company’s

global reach and broadening the utilization of its

Big Data-based solutions that help publishers

better understand and engage with their users,

as well as increase online ad revenues and paid

subscriptions.

Q1 2014 gross margin was 82% compared to Q1 2013 gross margin of 83%.

In Q1 2014, Emediate was fully integrated into the Cxense SaaS organization, which strengthened our sales,

marketing, account management, support, and R&D capabilities.

During the first quarter, Cxense continued to build the organization for future growth and the Cxense SaaS

organization grew from 92 employees at the beginning of the quarter to 106 at the end of Q1 2014, a growth

of 14 employees. Of the 106 employees, there are 42 employees within the R&D organization. Furthermore,

28 works within Sales & Marketing, whereof 19 within front-end sales; a growth of five since Q4 2013. 28

works within the Operations (Onboarding, support, and retention) organization, and 8 within Finance &

Admin.

In Q1 2014, the Cxense R&D teams launched improved audience segmentation integration between our real-

time data engine (“The Extraordinary Insight EngineTM”), Cxense Analytics, and Cxense Advertising. With

1 Q4 2013 included Emediate revenues for the months of November and December of USD 1336, i.e. not a full quarter. See financial development summary for further details.

this new integration the link between exploring user and audience segments in Cxense Analytics, and

executing it in Cxense Advertising has never been easier for an online publisher.

Cxense Content also got a vastly improved configuration editor, a feature that will significantly improve the

self-service capabilities for customers working to optimize their content experiences, and also reduce

implementation time for the Cxense Onboarding team.

In April 2014, Cxense also launced its new Data Management Platform (DMP). Cxense

DMP offers publishers improved aggregation, segmentation and use of customer data to

better engage and monetize visitors across all digital channels, including mobile phones

and tablets. Cxense DMP is an expanded version of our previous Big Data Solution with

new customer data integration opportunities and extended features2.

Selected highlights:

Cxense announced a range of new and expanded customer relationships on five continents during the first quarter of 2014:

Source Interlink is using Cxense Analytics and Content to better understand its audiences, gain increased site “stickiness” and provide targeted content recommendations to readers.

DMM in Japan is a leading e-commerce site with more than 6.4 million registered users and 880 million page views per month. DMM uses the Cxense Advertising and DMP solutions to segment and target its audiences for site promotions and advertising, and has a goal of boosting click-through rates and increasing conversions. During Q1 2014 DMM increased its subscription capacity limits.

Outlook

Cxense experiences increasing customer interest for its solutions for real-time analytics and data

management, digital advertising, content optimization and personalization, and search. Online publishers

and media companies continue to be the main customers targeted in the near term, with interesting market

opportunities within the e-commerce sector emerging rapidly.

In the longer term, we also see opportunities in other business verticals for EIE, our Big Data platform, as

companies seek to improve customer understanding, analytics and communication.

Most online companies are experiencing significant growth on new devices and formats, mainly tablets and

mobile smart phones. This requires adaptation of their content and monetization methods. The Cxense

solutions have cross-device support (laptop, mobile tablet) and mobile growth represents a significant

market opportunity for the Company.

Our commercial product platform addresses large and fast-growing markets. The global online advertising

market is estimated to be more than USD 100 billion in 2013, and is expected by leading industry groups to

grow to more than USD 200 billion by 2020. The global e-commerce market passed the USD 1,000 billion

mark in 2013, and is growing about 20% per year. Industry analyst group, Gartner expects that Big Data will

drive USD 230 billion in IT spending through 2016(1). The Company sees significant growth opportunities

within these markets for its software solutions.

Condensed Financial Report

Q1 2014 Group Revenue for continuing operations amounted to USD 4.2 million, an increase of USD 3.1

million over the same period last year (USD 1.1 million). The Cxense SaaS segment revenue for Q1 2014

amounted to USD 3.58 million compared to Q1 2013 revenues of USD 0.73 million, a growth of USD 2.9

million. The growth came from new customers, growth on existing customers and the Emediate acquisition.

The PCAN business segment revenues for Q1 2014 (Q1 2013) amounted to USD 0.67 million (USD 0.38

million). The growth came from increased advertising, advertising performance and advertising requests

from publishers. Inter-segment Revenues were USD 0.07 million.

The Q1 2014 Cost of Sales amounted to USD 1.1 million, compared to USD 0.5 million in Q1 2013. The SaaS

Segment Cost of Sales for Q1 2014 was USD 0.64 million, while the PCAN segment Cost of Sales was USD 0.5

million. Cost of Sales within the SaaS segment relates to the hosting of the software applications used by our

customers as well as sales partner commission from the Emediate business. Cost of Sales within the PCAN

segment relates to revenue share paid to publishers providing online advertising space, as well as agency

commission paid to advertising agencies. The Q1 2014 Gross Profit for the SaaS segment amounted to USD

2.9 million and USD 0.17 million for the PCAN segment. The Q1 2014 Gross Margin in the continuing

operations of the PCAN segment was a positive 25% compared to a negative return in Q1 2013. The

improvement is due to the gradual expiration of a publisher revenue share guarantee clause that originates

from the start-up of the continuing PCAN operations as well as general improvement in revenue share and

agency terms.

The Q1 2014 Employee Benefit Expenses were USD 3.2 million, compared to USD 1.9 million in Q1 2013.

The increase is mostly due to the organizational growth.

The Depreciation & Amortization Expense in Q1 2014 was USD 0.31 million compared to USD 0.003 million

in Q1 2013. Traditionally the Depreciation Expense has been consistently low due to the limited non-current

assets. The large distributed cloud- based systems operated by Cxense are hosted on platforms leased from

large scale, reputable hosting suppliers. Since the acquisition of Emediate the Depreciation & Amortization

expense now includes amortization of identifiable intangible assets of USD 0.28 million for Q1 2014. The

Groups R&D cost is expensed (not capitalized).

Other Operating Expenses amounted to USD 1.7 million in Q1 2014 and USD 0.7 million in Q1 2013. The

majority of the expenses related to marketing and external consulting (audit, legal, and other), the latter

driven by activities such as conversion to Public limited entity (ASA), preparations for the contemplated

listing of Cxense on the Oslo Stock Exchange and the establishment of accounting for the Emediate entities

(previously done by the former Emediate holding company, Ad Pepper).

The Finance Income in Q1 2014 was USD 0.03 million, largely relating to interest earned on bank deposits

and cash arising from the share issue proceeds. Finance Income in Q1 2013 was USD 0.08 million. Finance

Expenses, mostly relating to currency expenses, amounted to USD 0.01 million in Q1 2014 and USD 0.03 in

Q1 2013.

13

Income Tax Expense for Q1 2014 was a negative USD 0.06 million compared to a positive USD 0.01 in Q1

2013.

The Group Net Loss from continuing operations amounted to USD 2.1 million in Q1 2014, compared to a Net

Loss of USD 1.9 million in Q1 2013. The continuing PCAN operation for the quarter recorded a small loss of

USD 0.06 million.

Total Assets at the end of Q1 2014 amounted to USD 20.7 million compared to USD 10.6 million at Q1 2013.

The increase is mainly due to the investment in the Emediate Business resulting in the recording of Goodwill

and Intangible Assets amounting to USD 9.1 million. Cash and cash equivalents amounted to USD 5.9 million

at the end of Q1 2014 and USD 8.0 million at the end of Q1 2013. Trade Receivables were USD 2.9 million at

the end of Q1 2014, compared to USD 1.9 million at the end of Q1 2013. The increase in Q1 2014 Receivables

is due to the growth in external customers billings in the SaaS Cxense and the PCAN segment and includes

the Emediate receivables balance of USD 1.7 million at the end of Q1 2014. Short term assets in Q1 2014

increased by USD 1.85 million on the Q1 2013 amount of 0.49 million mostly due to the USD 1.3 million

Escrow account balance related to the delayed payments of parts of the Emediate acquisition proceeds

(booked as short term assets).

Total Current Liabilities at the end of Q1 2014 were USD 4.95 million compared to USD 3.3 million at Q1

2013. The increase is mainly due to the inclusion of the payment outstanding on the Emediate acquisition

on escrow account of USD 1.3 million as well as the inclusion of the Emediate balance sheet. Total

transaction costs related to the acquisition of Emediate and the corresponding share issue was USD 1.1

million.

The deferred tax balance outstanding of USD 0.63 million at Q1 2014 relates to the Emediate business.

Net Cash Flow used in Operating Activities was USD -2.86 million in Q1 2014. Cash flow from operating

activities in Q1 2014 was negatively affected by USD 0.8 million of transaction costs related to the Emediate

transaction and the corresponding share issue. These costs were booked in Q4 2013, but paid in Q1 2014. Q

2014 investment in associated companies of USD 31 thousands relates to the participation of capitalization

of associated company Matchad AB (a publisher controlled advertising network) where Cxense has a 10%

ownership. The investment was done to co-fund the Matchad AB growth plans.

Net Cash flow from financing activities was USD 0 million in both Q1 2014 and Q1 2013.

Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity

Own shares: At 31.12.2013 Cxense AS held 42 shares (0.25% of outstanding shares) in Cxense AS’ account in the

Norwegian Central Security Depository (the Cxense VPS account) on behalf of employees and smaller non-professional

investors investing in the November 2013 share issue and that were not able to establish a VPS account for themselves

by year end. Establishing a Norwegian VPS account may take some time for foreign private individuals and Cxense

chose to hold these shares on its own VPS account to be able to register the share issue in the VPS register by year end.

The 42 shares were transferred to each individual during Q1 2014 as they established VPS accounts.

At the end of Q2 2013 Cxense negotiated an agreement to sell the PCAN subsidiary PPN AG to Tamedia AG, the Swiss based media group. The transaction is effective as of July 1, 2013. PPN AG is presented as discontinuing operations through out this report.

Tamedia AG has been the most significant publisher in the Publisher Controlled Advertising Network alongside a number of other publishers in the Swiss market. Tamedia states that the rationale for the transaction is to improve the control of PPN and to use PPN as part of their strategy to develop an exclusive networked advertising offering for their online publications. Tamedias intention is to continue to cooperate with the other existing publishers in PPN around click-based performance advertising.

One hundred percent of the shares in PPN AG were sold for USD 103 thousand. The final transaction values have subject to a separate audit of the PPN AG accounts and now fully finalised. The sale resulted in a gain of USD 143 thousand.

For management purpose the Group is organized into business units based on its product and services and has two reportable

segments:

- Cxense Saas, which sells software-as-a-service applications based on the Extraordinary Insight Engine™ (EIE™) for real-time

analysis of content, user context, and behaviour. The EIE is fully integrated by a range of applications (web analytics,

recommendations, search and targeted advertising), which are used by Cxense customers to improve their online businesses by

increasing advertising revenue, page views, readership and conversion. The business generated by Emediate is included in the

Cxense Saas segment below. Information regarding revenue and Net income/(loss) generated by Emediate after the acquisition is

disclosed in note 3.

- Publisher-Controlled Advertising Networks (PCANs) which sell online advertising on the sites of various publishers, and

distribute and share the advertising revenues generated in the network with publishers.

Segment performance is evaluated by the management based on operating profit or loss and is measured consistently with

operating profit in the financial statements. Transfer prices between operating segments are on an arm's length basis in a manner

similar to transactions with third parties.

Discontinued operations:

To be consistent with the presentation in the income statement and statement of financial position, the PCAN segment presented

below is exclusive to the discontinued operations. Furthermore, Cxense SaaS sale to the discontinued operation is presented as a

sale to external customers.
