(Oslo, Norway - January 14, 2022) Preliminary numbers indicate that Nordic
Semiconductor ASA will report revenue of USD 171 million with a gross margin of
58-59% for the fourth quarter 2021. In connection with the quarterly report for
the third quarter 2021, the company guided for a revenue range of USD 150-170
million for the fourth quarter, with gross margin expected in the 51-53% range.
 
The exceptionally high gross margin reflects a one-off effect of price
adjustments for the company's products from December 1, 2021, including goods
already in distributor inventories. Adjusting for these pricing effects, the
underlying gross margin was approximately 53% in the fourth quarter, or roughly
on par with the gross margin in the previous quarter.

"Our fourth quarter and full-year revenue figures reflect continued strong
performance across all our end-user markets. Gross margin also remains strong
even if we adjust for the positive effect of price adjustments in the fourth
quarter, with a favorable product and customer mix in a strong market," says CEO
Svenn-Tore Larsen.

Nordic Semiconductor ASA will announce the interim report for the fourth quarter
and preliminary full year 2021 on February 3, 2022.
