Business Model & Financial Overview

3

NFON's top line mechanics are centred around recurring revenue

Strong top line results in Q1 2018 to be further accelerated, driven by cumulative effects

Comments

  • Based on the nature of NFON's business, revenue growth rates in the earlier quarters of the year tend to be lower than expected full year growth rates as a result of the cumulative effect of new seat wins
  • Considering Q1 2018 as a pre-IPO quarter, the following quarters will be influenced by the use of IPO proceeds
  • We will start to invest in the multivector growth strategy
  • In Q1 2018, NFON achieved EBITDA of €0.1m adjusted for €0.5m of IPO costs in line with expectations

Strong growth in recurring revenue from consistent increase in total number of seats and largely stable ARPU

Comments

  • Historically, NFON has experienced a strong increase in the number of total seats serviced, driven by the attractiveness of our solutions and the increasing demand for cloud telephony systems in general
  • Based on largely stable ARPU levels and an increasing number of seats NFON has been able to grow its recurring revenue base significantly
  • ARPU levels have furthermore been impacted by the increasing share of sales through wholesale partners selling their own airtime
  • Additional premium solutions represent upside potential for ARPU development in the medium term
