Emre Gürsoy, CEO of Agillic comments
”We have achieved satisfactory growth in H1 2022, delivering strong results in Total ARR of DKK 64.2 million – a 34% increase YoY. The growth is mainly driven by ARR from Transactions, which increased 162% YoY, whilst ARR from Subscriptions increased 15% YoY. Our focus on internationalisation of our client portfolio has also delivered promising results and 38% of clients won in H1 2022 were from international markets.
Our Total Revenue increased 14% YoY and the combination of revenue increase and our operational optimisation efforts have also allowed us to deliver an increased EBITDA in Q2.
Overall business improvement and the projections for the second half of the year are the reasons why we raised our financial guidance for 2022 on 23 August 2022. With our new guidance – vs. 2021 results – we expect to achieve Total Revenue increase between 13% and 21%, Total ARR increase between 18% and 33% and EBITDA increased to between DKK 0 and 3 million.
I am pleased to see our Reboot 2.1 strategy continuously delivering the expected results. Going forward we are fully committed to improve our operational performance and invest further in our international business growth via strong partnerships and a ready-to-integrate best of breed product.
Our three main strategic financial goals towards 2023 remain double-digit percentage growth rate in ARR subscriptions, positive cash flow from operations, and a positive EBITDA.”
