Financial report Q3 2022 - Outlook adjusted

As a consequence of the increased macro-economic and geo-political uncertainties the financial outlook for 2022-2024 is adjusted. The financial report for Q3 2022 shows an annual recurring revenue growth of 38%. The previous outlook of 40-60% for 2022 is reduced to 25-30%.

The strategy “unfolding the potential” remains and is anchored in a prioritized focus on improving the profitability.


Financial report for the period January 1 to September 30, 2022

Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) amounted to DKK 16.6m corresponding to an annual growth of 38%. In Q3 2022, Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) increased by DKK 1.0m compared to DKK 1.3m for Q2 2022.

Konsolidator is seeking DKK 5-10m to finance the operations for 2023 and beyond and to restore the negative equity, which totals DKK 5.7m.

“Q3 2022 was impacted by international uncertainties. Customers are more thoughtful, and the sales cycle is longer. Our pipeline remains strong and with all sales resources now concentrated in Copenhagen, I strongly believe that we are prepared for troubled water ahead”, says CEO Claus Finderup Grove.

Outlook:

Longer sales cycle and higher churn lead to an adjusted outlook for 2022:

  • ARR of DKK 17-18m (prev. DKK 19-22m), corresponding to a growth of 25-30% (prev. 40-60%)
  • Revenue of DKK 16-18m (prev. DKK 18-21m), corresponding to a growth rate of 20-40% (prev. 40-60%).
  • EBIT loss of DKK 20-22m (prev. a loss of DKK 15–20m)

For 2023 and 2024 the macro-economic and geo-political uncertainties have led to an adjusted outlook:

    • ARR of DKK 20-22m (prev. DKK 27-35m), corresponding to a growth of 20-30% (prev. 40-60%)
