Comments from the CEO
Continued growth and investments for the future
ZetaDisplay's net sales amounted to SEK 126.0 (108.7) million, which is an increase of 15.9% compared to the same period last year. SaaS revenues amounted to SEK 47.1 (43.5) million and accounted for 37.4 (40.0) % of net sales. ARR was quoted at SEK 187.9 million and EBITDA was SEK 8.5 (10.1) million. Adjusted for non-recurring items, EBITDA was MSE K 8.5 (17.1).
The increase in net sales is due to the increase in market activity. Project sales were 20.9% higher than the corresponding period last year and were quoted at SEK 78.9 (65.3) million. Gross profit amounted to SEK 72.8 (65.4) million, corresponding to a gross margin of 57.8 (60.2) %. The margin was affected by a higher share of project sales compared to the previous year.
A growing market
The international framework agreements continue to develop according to plan. This has resulted in several new installations in both existing and new markets. We are also seeing increased activity regarding new business opportunities in new customer sales. This is as a result of the investments we have made in our offering and our organization, which has strengthened our ability.
The general increase in activity in the market internationally and some shortage of components has led to some delays in hardware deliveries. We have largely been able to handle the situation thanks to our strong position with leading suppliers and through coordination within the Group. Delivery challenges may continue during the autumn, but we are prepared to continue to be able to handle any effects.
Outlook
The market has recovered during the current year and we are preparing for further growth in the second half of the year.
I feel great pride in our performance during the quarter. I would like to thank our employees for a strong commitment and our customers for the trust we receive. During the quarter, we continued to invest for the future, which creates confidence for continued scalable growth in a growing market.
