Management review
Roll out of Konsolidator’s platform and software
Konsolidator is beginning to see the effects of the digital marketing strategy during the first three months of 2020. The company experienced increased traffic on the Konsolidator website and a significant growth in number of sales meetings.
Konsolidator has experienced a faster than expected conversion from physical sales meetings to online meetings, which is important in our international expansion plans. Furthermore, the customer online onboardings have also increased faster than expected compared to the physical onboardings.
In Q1, 2020 Konsolidator signed more customers in Sweden than in Denmark, which is the first quarter where international growth is higher than the Danish growth.
As per March 31, 2019 Konsolidator has 95 customers and 9 out of the 15 new customers signed in Q1, 2020 are outside Denmark.
Economic growth
Konsolidator reached an Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) of DKK 5.3m as per March 31, 2020 (2019: 2.9m) which is an increase in the last twelve months of 83 %. The ARR increased by DKK 0.7m in Q1, 2020 compared to an increase of DKK 0.3m in Q1, 2019 an increase of 133%.
Revenue for the period amounted to DKK 1.6m compared to DKK 1.1m in 2019 corresponding to an increase of 48 %. Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) amounted to a negative of DKK 2.9m compared to 2019 which showed a negative EBITDA of DKK 0.3m.
Organizational growth
During the first three months of 2020 Konsolidator has not hired any new employees.
Outlook
Based on current general uncertainties surrounding the COVID-19 related changes in macro- and microeconomic matters, it is impossible to express outlook scenarios with a high degree of certainty. However, Konsolidator’s current exponential growth can be impacted negatively if prospective customers’ investment decisions are postponed or cancelled.
