Q-Free has evolved from a tolling company 8 into an ITS player Leveraging key technologies to develop new ITS offerings Complementary technologies obtained through a series of Rationale for pursuing new offerings acquisitions Position Q-Free for future growth Secure multiple revenue streams from a broader range of Parking Guidance Variable Traffic Controllers System Message Signs projects with different business models and risk profiles Leverage key Q-Free technologies in new areas Infomobility Tolling, parking, Traffic Central Parking Development in revenues from new segments (NOKm) solutions traffic management management Management System 1,000 899 New offerings developed and monetized 804 789 800 • Q-Free is in the process of developing new ITS offerings based on 606 593 acquired technology and extension of core tolling technologies 600 • For example, our parking offering comprises a central SW system from Traffiko, parking guidance solutions from TCS/Elkom, and 400 automatic license plate recognition technology and tags from tolling 200 41% • 39% The move into adjacent business areas has been successful: 21% Q-Free now has a ~NOK 100m run rate in quarterly revenues 11% from new segments 0 2012 2013 2014 2015 LTM • Going forward, Q-Free will focus on developing competitive and ATMS Tolling complete offerings in prioritized market niches
Fundamentally different business models – 9 revenues less volatile with new offering Business model varies from segment to segment Cash flow profiles (illustrative yearly profile) Tolling & Traffic Management • Government tenders • Large initial projects with long tail of service/maintenance work and opportunities for additional product sales • Supplier financed – working capital intensive, paid at delivery • Large projects often involve consortiums of suppliers 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Project Product sales & maintenance Parking & Infomobility • Orders from government bodies and private parking operators • Several smaller contracts (NOK 0.5-2m) involving a combination of product and software sales o Subsequent annual license fees and service and maintenance contracts 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 o Opportunity to enter into frame agreements with large parking operators Multiple product deliveries to same client – growing as relationship develops • Delivery times typically 3-4 months – not very capital intensive, 2 instalments (signing and delivery)
Despite a crowded landscape, Q-Free aims 10 for a leading role in certain niches Select ITS players Vast, fragmented market with hundreds of players = Large addressable market with structural opening for Q-Free Wide range of products and services offered = Several different offerings and niches that can be targeted No dominant global player = Opportunity to build global leadership within niches Very few players able to provide end-to-end solutions = Q-Free has technology, position and references to create in multiple segments market leading offerings within selected segments Q-Free is one of the global leaders in electronic tolling and is well positioned to become a leader in adjacent niches based on recent acquisitions and application of core tolling technology in new areas
