Announcement no. 14 2023
Copenhagen - 12 October 2023
Correction to company announcement no 13 regarding the financial guidance table.
The Total ARR in the guidance table should have stated DKK 70-77 million (the sum of ARR Subscriptions and ARR Transactions) in alignment with the guidance announced on 23rd August 2023. The information has been corrected in the statement below.
Copenhagen – 12 October 2023 – Agillic A/S (Nasdaq First North Growth Market Denmark: AGILC) releases its financial results for Q3 2023. EBITDA increased to DKK 3.5 million (up 3.8 million vs. Q3 2022) while ARR from subscription increased 13% YoY to DKK 56.8 million.
Emre Gürsoy, CEO of Agillic comments
“We are very pleased to have delivered double digit growth in ARR from subscriptions and a positive EBITDA in Q3. This is a result of our continued focus on operational excellence and sustainable growth, while we also focus on growing our international markets based on a scalable international business model and future readiness through a ready-to-integrate best-of-breed platform. As we announced in August, global price increases on SMS transactions have led to a decline in ARR from transactions resulting in an overall decline in Total ARR of -1% YoY.”
