An update from the CEO of Kahoot!, Eilert Hanoa: Fourth Quarter 2020

2020 proved to be a pivotal year for Kahoot! As the focus turned towards fighting a global pandemic, the world embraced new ways of learning, working and socializing, almost overnight. We witnessed the rapid acceleration of digitalization across all aspects of life, and at Kahoot!, we were prepared for the changes.

As a company, we were well-positioned to support educators, students, parents, professionals and social groups as they navigated a new and virtual means of engaging, entertaining and learning. It became more important than ever in 2020 for us to fulfill our mission of making learning awesome for everyone, whether physically together or at a safe social distance.

Kahoot! experienced massive adoption globally throughout 2020, as it became an essential toolkit to stimulate engagement at school, work and home, during the pandemic and beyond.

We reached 1.5 billion participating players in 2020 in 200 countries and we also achieved a major milestone for Kahoot!, reaching five billion participating players since launch, a number that's been steadily growing over our seven-year history. This was a proud moment for all of us in Kahoot!, and a truly awesome way to end the year.

From start to finish, 2020 was a year of exciting initiatives and strong growth for Kahoot!. Our solid organic growth fueled our ambitions to build the world's leading learning platform, and we further strengthened this position by acquiring two companies, employee engagement platform Actimo and language learning platform Drops. With these two powerful companies (and their respective market segments) now in the Kahoot! family, we have been able to bolster our learning offerings for corporate learners and those learning at home, in addition to introducing new functionality that enables millions of users to learn more effectively.

Over the course of the year, the Kahoot! team continued to develop define and execute on our strategy and ambitious roadmap targeting our primary segments: at school, at home and at work. We continued to build our globally recognized brand with a viral distribution model - based on a scalable technology platform.

As a company, we shifted to a fully remote operational working model, becoming almost completely virtual, along with much of the world as a result of the pandemic. Despite the challenging times, the Kahoot! team has done a great job making sure we were able to continue to deliver improved products and services throughout the year for all users and customers.

We are fortunate that, over the years, the Kahoot! team has built a solid technical foundation, resulting in a scalable cloud platform with a viral business model, enabling us to continuously add more value for all our users. It's a model that served us well during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Over the course of the year our team has grown to 200+ team members all of whom represent the strong Kahoot! culture of curiosity, inclusivity and playfulness. We aim to expand our employee base in all areas of the company in 2021. Our main priority has been to invest into engineering and product development, in addition to acquiring talents in customer experience, design, assisted sales, and corporate development and operations.

As we look back on our incredible journey in 2020, I have a tremendous amount of optimism for our future and our ability to continue to support our users and customers during these challenging times. I am incredibly proud of how we as a company have come together to strengthen our trajectory of our operations. We've done this through product development, constant focus on the user experience, and our ability to pivot and reimagine, in order to meet the changing needs of all our user groups and customers.

Looking ahead we are heading toward an important milestone of our main listing on the Oslo Stock Exchange before the end of the first quarter of 2021. In addition, we plan to offer new, free and premium tools and functionality for interactive presentations for school and work, corporate training, language learning, Academy Marketplace, and additional content offerings from publishing partners.

There's still a lot of important work to be done that will require us to stay the course, but I'm excited about the opportunities that lie ahead as we continue on our mission to make learning awesome for all!

Financial review

The Kahoot! Group has for 2020 converted the consolidated financial statements to the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as endorsed by the European Union (EU), and as such the 2019 financials have been restated to give comparable figures.

• Total revenue for the Kahoot! Group was \$12.0m for Q4 2020, compared to \$2.8m for Q4 2019, representing 329% growth. For the full year 2020, total revenue was \$31.0m compared to \$8.5m for 2019. The increase of \$22.5m, representing 265%, was driven by strong growth in number of paid subscriptions for the Group's products, and continued uptake on subscription plans with higher price points.

  • Employee benefit expenses amounted to \$17.1m in Q4 2020, whereof share-based payments and related social security taxes accounted for \$11.4m. Employee benefit expenses excluding share-based payments and related social security taxes amounted to \$5.7m in Q4 2020, compared to \$2.8m in Q4 2019. The increase is mainly due to increased number of employees including effect of acquired companies in Q4 2020. For the full year 2020, employee benefit expenses amounted to \$31.6m whereof share based payments and related social security taxes accounted for \$17.3m. Employee benefit expenses excluding share-based payments and related social security taxes amounted to \$14.3m in 2020, compared to \$8.4m in 2019.
  • Other operating expenses amounted to \$5.1m for Q4 2020 compared to \$1.7m for Q4 2019. The increase of \$3.4m includes transaction acquisition cost, listing preparation cost, and effect of acquired companies in Q4 2020.
  • EBITDA amounted to -\$11.6m in Q4 2020. EBITDA adjusted for share-based compensation expenses and related payroll taxes, acquisition-related expenses and listing cost preparations was \$0.8m in Q4 2020, compared to -\$1.9m for 2019.
  • EBITDA amounted to -\$15.9m for 2020. EBITDA adjusted for share-based compensation expenses and related payroll taxes, acquisition-related expenses and listing cost preparations was \$2.3m for 2020 compared to -\$6.6m for 2019.
  • The Group had on a consolidated basis net financial expenses of USD 16.6 million, compared to USD 0.1 million for the financial year 2019. The increase in financial expenses was caused by exchange rate differences on foreign currency held in the parent company. Most of the Group's liquidity is held in USD as this is the expected acquisition currency.

Forward looking statement

  • For the full year 2021, the Kahoot! Group's reiterate the ambition to reach \$90-100m in invoiced revenues with continued solid positive cash flow from operations and one million paid subscriptions.
  • The company is preparing for a main listing at Oslo Stock Exchange which could be completed as early as in Q1 2021. In addition, the company will explore the opportunity for a secondary listing during 2021.
