CEO statement

The road to becoming best Martech company in Europe – important milestones reached

We have now completed and financially closed the first quarter of the year. I believe it shows we are on the right track. Several of our ideas did get executed and many were and are continued to be processed.

Acquisitions of Cloud Explorers

Big changes take time. Some of the ideas we had in the fourth quarter of last year were realized in the first quarter of this year. One of the most material happenings were us initiating the negotiation of acquiring the remaining 70% of Cloud Explorers. This was one of my first identified objectives after joining the company. Having now closed that deal means we are one company reaching for the same goals. Current customers of Cloud Explorers now are customers of ours (starting from the second quarters) and the negotiation with the different partners and other stakeholders are now being held with SpectrumOne. Full transparency to each other mean we have the control and the tools to lead the way of our growth and the partnerships with the most relevant players for us.

Additional acquisitions

Another important action was the acquisition of BizWell. An innovative and fast-moving company in an industry we want to grow on and innovate further. I believe there are many low-hanging fruits here and with the right actions and people we will be able to do what the larger players have aimed for.

Financial plan

A long-term financial plan for growth and international expansion was set during the first quarter. This plan is to enable us going forward becoming the best Martech company in Europe. With the current group of companies and the additional growth actions to be taken the strategy is getting clearer and even more realistic in the foreseeable future.

Qbim

Having Qbim in the group is yet another very important purchase by us. We feel already now that this acquisition will beat our initial high expectations. The positive effects are suited to elaborate on and communicated in a text dedicated solely to Qbim, to be released later.

Novel Coronavirus

The novel Coronavirus struck the world like a sledgehammer at the end of the quarter. Many companies went into a chock-like phase and the world stopped spinning for a while. As many companies succumbed under the new circumstances' others saw it was the right time to do the changes they had looked for but not prioritized. Old decisions are re-evaluated, organizations are re-structured, and ways of working are evolving to slimmer and faster ones improving companies' ability to react and act in a much faster pace. Whilst the world is starting to find its new normal, we are experiencing a higher attention on our services whilst the decision making on C-level professionals in larger corporations is taking somewhat longer time. The Research Council in Norway did not grant our first application for our innovation project but a new application to Norway is completed and to be submitted.

Objectives and what is to come in 2020

Meanwhile we have managed to execute on most of our plan in the first quarter despite the given circumstances. Ongoing processes are advancing, and I feel comfortable of reaching most of our targets.

We are even more so looking forward the coming quarters with increasing sales and larger customer portfolio together with relevant partners.

Stockholm, May 2020 Hosni Teque-Omeirat CEO

OPERATIONS

CUSTOMERS AND NEW BUSINESSES

The work of establishing SpectrumOne that started in the fourth quarter 2019 continued during the first quarter this year. The focus is to work with partners who already have existing customer networks in order to speed up the sales process. After having acquired our main partner and associated company Cloud Explorers, we will continue by working together and it will be more efficient in achieving our objectives as one unit.

In addition, time and resources were spent on acquiring our two new daughter companies BizWell Sweden AB and Qbim AB. The former is already partly included in in the first quarters result and Qbim will be consolidated in the group starting from the second quarter.

REVENUE AND EARNINGS

The consolidated income statement for the first quarter of 2020 comprises the parent company SpectrumOne AB and the subsidiaries VMSPlay Sweden AB, SpectrumOne AS and BizWell Sweden AB (for the month of March only). The 30 % ownership of Cloud Explorers AS is also included in the results.

First quarter

Net sales for the first quarter of the year amounted to SEK 1.1 (3.4) million, a decrease of SEK 2.3 million or 67 %. The lower net sales are caused by lost revenue after the divestment of TargetEveryone AS and TargetEveryone Sweden AB. The gross profit amounted to SEK 0.9 (1.5) million for the consolidated operations, with a gross margin at 79 % (44 %). The gross margin is higher than first quarter last year due to the divestment of older platforms that generated low gross margin.

Operating expenses excluding direct costs and depreciation amounted to SEK 4.1 (11.1) million.

The personnel costs have decreased compared to previous quarter due to reduction of employees. Other external costs have decreased compare to previous quarter, both because of less one-off costs, but also reduction of ordinary cost items. Depreciation and amortizations amounts to SEK 1.6 (4.4) million including share of earnings from associated companies. This refers to intangible fixed assets from SpectrumOne development.

Operating profit (EBIT) for the period amounted to SEK -4.7 (-14.1) million, and the operating margin is negative. Net financial items amounted to SEK -1.5 (- 0.5) million. Net financials in first quarter last year included interest expenses related to convertible loans and other debts. Earnings before tax for the period amounted to SEK -6.2 (-14.6) million. Earnings per share before and after dilution amounted to SEK -0.03 (-0.25).

CASH FLOW AND FINANCIAL POSITION

Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital amounted to SEK -4.6 (-10.2) million for the first quarter. Changes in working capital have affected cash flow by SEK 8.7 (4.0) million, mainly because of increase in account payables. Consequently, cash flow from operating activities after changes in working capital amounted to SEK 4.0 (-6.2) million. Investment activities had a cash flow effect of SEK –5.5 (-1.9) million during the period consisting of capitalized development costs and acquisition of BizWell Sweden AB. Cash flow from financing activities was SEK 25.4 (4.4) million after directed share issue, which in total generated a cash flow effect at SEK 23.9 (-3.7) million.
