Alternative Performance Measures 23

Carasent delivers cloud based EHR solutions, with Webdoc as the leading platform, and a broad ecosystem of platform services, including solutions for patient communication and business intelligence. Since 2020 five acquisitions have been completed, adding new products to our portfolio, including the EHR solutions Metodika, Ad Curis and Ad Opus, the business intelligence software Medrave and occupational care platform HPI. This provides customers with a full service offering within our systems.

Our ecosystem of solutions makes Carasent unique. Bringing together what were previously individual products, geographic markets and people, enables us to extract several synergies between our entities. At the same time, Carasent becomes a one-stop shop for clinics and can cover all needs. We believe in innovation that offers a new kind of accessibility and availability for patients and practices.

Carasent is on a very exciting journey within the e-health sector, and our ambition is to continue to expand our business both organically and through acquisitions. Our growth strategy is built on expanding our business through three main dimensions: new products and services, new customer segments and new geographic areas.

Revenue up 33.8% to NOK 59.9 million. Acquisitions in the last twelve months accounted for NOK 6.9 million, 45.4% of the increase.

Organic growth

Organic YoY revenue growth of 16% in Q1, with constant currency rates

Organic YoY recurring revenue growth of 13% in Q1, with constant currency rates

Adjusted EBITDA of NOK 4.9 million and margin of 8% in Q1 2023 9.2

Adjusted EBIT of NOK -6.6 million and margin of -11% in Q1 2023

Events after Q1

Change of focus. Carasent concluded that a larger and more attractive market can be reached with less investment by developing Webdoc for new segments in Sweden instead of continuing development of Webdoc for Norway. This will result in a write-off of intangible assets of about NOK 40 million in Q2 2023.

Cost savings. A cost savings program was initiated with total savings expected to amount to NOK 35-40 million on a yearly basis.

Letter to our shareholders

During the quarter we have continued to develop our structures. We need to maximize the value created from our excellent basis, with leading products in a growing non-cyclical market. We have worked on the organizational structure, cost structure and product strategy in Q1.

In order to minimize complexity and improve efficiency, we have set a structure in which the head of each product have high levels of autonomy and responsibility to run their part of the business. We have chosen a few important areas in which to drive synergies including sales, regulatory and technological knowledge. Especially within sales we aim to develop our processes, where we today only work inbound within all parts of our business.

Financially, we delivered an organic revenue growth of 16% in Q1. We had grown very rapidly in both size and complexity the last years which had led to costs being too high and an inefficient organization. We have therefore, after the end of Q1, implemented a cost savings program. This is expected to save NOK 35-40 million on a yearly basis and most savings will be realised by the end of Q2. We expect one-time expenses related to the cost savings program of approximately NOK 4 million in Q2. I expect that our development capacity, over time, will increase after these measures together with the reduced organizational complexity. Also after these changes we continue to invest heavily in the future in all our products, and our operations are in most areas scaled to manage much larger volumes.

Our strategic review has concluded that it is better to focus Webdoc on new segments in Sweden. There are numerous expansion opportunities and a strong focus on the most attractive will increase likelihood of success. We therefore have to choose. With 12 months of development we can reach a larger TAM in Sweden than what 36 months of further development of Webdoc for Norway would give us. In addition we will show our present customers that we are here for them and we can utilize the operations which are already up and running. It will also free up capacity to build further functionality to win more customers in Sweden where we still only have 8% market share. New markets are better addressed by Webdoc X which is built with multiple markets in mind. This was not the case with Webdoc which made it very difficult to adopt the software for Norway.

With most structures now in place the focus moves to constant improvements. The key is to always know how you're doing on key metrics, in our case these are for example financial outcomes, customer satisfaction, new leads, conversions, efficiency in development, bugs and downtime. We will now work with these in a consistent manner with clear responsibilities in order to continuously improve. When we're successful in this we will see growing sales, pricing power and cost efficiency. Strategically we are deep diving into possible acquisitions and market entry strategies for Webdoc X.

Growth Metrics

Total revenues grew by 34% in Q1

We grew total revenues to NOK 59.9 (44.8) million in Q1 2023, up 34% from Q1 last year. Acquisitions accounted for NOK 6.9 million, 45% of the increase.

Organic growth year-over-year (YoY) amounted to 16%2 in Q1 2023 boosted by high growth in consulting revenues. The organic growth in recurring revenues was 13%, driven by net retention rates1 of 107% and growth from new customers of 6%. The new customer growth has been adversely affected by lower new sales activity in our core markets during 2021 and 2022, particularly related to larger clinics and customers.

Currency differences affected revenues positively with NOK 1.7 million compared to Q1 2022. The average SEK/NOK currency exchange rate was 0.98 in Q1 2023 vs. 0.95 in Q1 2022.

We grew our recurring revenues – Webdoc EHR, other EHR and Platform Services – by 30%, reaching NOK 53.8 million in Q1 2023 compared to NOK 41.3 million the same quarter last year.

Webdoc EHR revenues grew 28% YoY to NOK 14.4 (11.3) million in Q1. The YoY growth figures are partly driven by a shift in revenue model for certain existing customers from variable add-on services to EHR license revenues. Adjusted for this and currency effects the growth was 16%1 YoY for Webdoc EHR in Q1.

Other EHR revenues increased 8% YoY to NOK 11.7 (10.9) million in Q1 2023. This includes the EHR revenues from Metodika EPM, as well as the Carasent Norge3products Ad Curis and Ad Opus.

Platform services revenues grew 45% YoY to NOK 27.7 (19.1) million in Q1 2023. The growth was accelerated by the acquisition of HPI and Confrere, adding new solutions to our portfolio. Variable add-on services, such as booking and SMS services, have since the end of the pandemic shown a slowdown.

Platform services increased as a share of revenue in the quarter driven by a new, growing ecosystem of services and the acquisitions completed. By broadening our product portfolio both organically and through acquisitions, we can continuously provide new services to our customer base.

Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) growth of 30%

Annual Recurring Revenues (ARR) grew to NOK 219 (168) million in Q1 2023, corresponding to a growth of 30%. The organic ARR growth in Q1 2023 was 13%¹ YoY.

Consulting & other revenues of NOK 6.1 million

Consulting and other revenues increased by 74% to NOK 6.1 (3.5) million. Consulting revenue growth was strong in Q1. Metodika EPM had a strong development in the quarter contributing with a significant share of the growth in consulting & other revenues. The new organisational structure is starting to show results. Our main focus long-term is on increasing the recurring revenue base.

Profitability

Adjusted EBITDA margin of 8.1%

Adjusted EBITDA amounted to NOK 4.9 million, where margins decreased from 30.7% to 8.1% for the group. The decrease in margins is a result of higher personnel costs as a significant number of employees was onboarded during 2022. The acquisitions of HPI and Confrere has had a dilutive impact on operating margins in the short term.

Carasent slowed down recruitment of new employees during the quarter. Ending Q1, the number of employees in the Group was 179, a net increase of 1 new employee compared to Q4 2022. 104 employees are working in Research & Development (R&D), 15 in Sales and Marketing (S&M), 14 in General & Administrative (G&A) and 46 in Operations. Carasent also uses external consultants for individual projects.

Investments and acquisitions

The investments in tangible and intangible assets, amounted to NOK 25.5 million during Q1 2023. Capitalized development totaled NOK 23.1 million and investments in tangible assets totaled NOK 0.7 million during Q1. The remaining NOK 1.6 million was related to the deferred payment for acquisition of customers and brand from Confrere.

After the end of the quarter, Carasent announced that the Webdoc Norway initiative will be discontinued. Capitalized development costs related to new initiatives totaled NOK 14.5 (10.6) million in Q1 2023, of which NOK 5.6 million was related to Webdoc Norway.

Financial Results

Net revenue

Revenue of NOK 59.9 million in Q1 2023, an increase of 33.8% as compared to NOK 44.8 million in Q1 2022.

Note 4 – Events after the balance sheet date

Change of focus and cost savings initiated

On 24 April 2023 Carasent ASA ("Carasent" or the "Company) concluded that a larger and more attractive market can be reached with less investment by developing Webdoc for new segments in Sweden instead of continuing development of Webdoc for Norway. Therefore, intangible assets of about 40 MNOK will be written off in Q2 2023.

Carasent, through its leading product Webdoc, holds a strong position in the Swedish market. In the last couple of years, a considerable part of the Company's R&D capacity has been invested in adopting Webdoc for the Norwegian market. The strategic review process executed during 2023 has concluded that other opportunities are more attractive to pursue.

Carasent has also concluded that costs have grown too rapidly and that running costs are too high. A cost savings program will therefore be initiated. Total savings is expected to amount to 35-40 MNOK on a yearly basis, primarily related to capital expenditures. The majority of savings comes from lowering the number of employees and consultants. The total cost of realizing the savings program is estimated to 4 MNOK in Q2 2023. Most of the savings will be realized by the end of Q2 and all by the end of Q3.

  • "Carasent holds a strong position in a growing and non-cyclical market but has unfortunately grown too rapidly and it will take too long to grow into our current cost base. We therefore have to carry out these cost savings. This is not a lowering of our growth ambitions. It is about setting a clear focus and improving efficiency." - says Daniel Öhman CEO of Carasent

There are no other events after the balance sheet date that needs to be disclosed.
