(Headquarters: Tokyo Japan, President & CEO: Yoichiro Yatsurugi), has announced that move-to-earn apps 'TRIMA' and 'GeoSmile' surpassed twenty-three million cumulative downloads worldwide. Move-to-earn app that rapidly gained popularity in Japan has surpassed 23 million downloads worldwide Expanding the Japanese move-to-earn app to the world 'TRIMA', which has twenty-two million downloads in Japan, has established a solid position as the de-facto standard for move-to-earn apps. TRIMA users can earn points based on their movement and those data are analyzed by 29 universities in Japan. They are seeking how to improve the safety, efficiency, and productivity of citizens in Japan. TRIMA is the first to introduce the concept of move-to-earn apps to Japan. Based on this success, we launched 'GeoSmile' worldwide as a global version of 'TRIMA' in 2023. Contributing to society through collaboration with academic institutions 'TRIMA' people flow data is used in research in various fields such as disaster prevention, crime prevention, urban development, and tourism, with the aim to establish a more livable environment in Japan that considers regional characteristics. Growth in the US market GeoSmile, which debuted in the US market about two years ago, has also continued to grow steadily and is expected to reach one million downloads soon. To celebrate this milestone, we will run a special campaign. Yoichiro Yatsurugi, President and CEO of GeoTechnologies, Inc., says, 'TRIMA introduced the concept of 'move-to-earn' to Japan. Now, it is contributing to making Japan a more livable place through people flow analysis beyond the concept of simply earning points. This approach was also launched in the United States about two years ago, and we are reaching one million downloads. This is an important step in expanding the circle of social contribution in Japan to the United States, and we are very excited for further growth in the future'. Yas Watanabe, Chief Executive of LAJET Business Consulting LLC, comments, 'I have been studying the success of GeoTechnologies' TRIMA in Japan. TRIMA has become a tool to improve users' daily lives beyond the concept of simply earning points. When the GeoSmile business in the United States continues to develop, I am confident that TRIMA's knowledge will be utilized to help improve lifestyles in the United States. The achievement of one million downloads in the United States is an important step'.

Aino Health AB (publ): interim report january-march 2025
This document in English is a translation of the original in Swedish. In case of any discrepancy, the Swedish original will prevail. Increased turnover. Positive cashflow. Positive EBITDA. January – March 2024 Turnover totalled 7 378 (5 994) TSEK Profit after financial items -554 (-2 943) TSEK Earnings per share -0,0 (-0,0) SEK The first quarter of 2025 has been characterised by a continued challenging market environment, shaped by cautious investment appetite and continued macroeconomic uncertainty. Despite these headwinds, I am pleased to report tangible progress in our efforts to improve profitability and build long-term resilience for Aino. During the period, we have made price adjustments in dialogue with our customers to ensure a sustainable and profitable business. As a natural consequence of this, some customer relationships have been terminated, which has led to a reduction in the number of licences. This reduction will materialise in the second quarter. Operationally, almost all sold licences are now fully integrated, which will have a positive impact on our monthly recurring revenue (MRR) going forward. Financially, our focused efforts to strengthen margins and reduce operating costs are starting to pay off. Revenues increased by 23% compared to the same period last year, and most notably, cash flow became positive. We also achieved a positive EBITDA. An exciting development during the quarter is the increased interest from academic and research institutions. Several organisations have approached us with proposals to study the relationship between work ability management, wellbeing and productivity using Aino's data and platform insights. This is a strong confirmation of the long-term value of our offering and a clear sign that our impact is starting to be recognised beyond our direct customer ahead, we expect market conditions to gradually improve towards the summer and in the second half of the year. Our focus remains on driving operational excellence, deepening customer relationships and seizing new opportunities as they arise.
