During the second quarter the number of subscribers continued to grow to a total of 852k, an increase of 14.5%. Net revenues increased by 12.5%, corresponding to 20.3% adjusted currency. Growth was driven by high renewal rates, effective investment in marketing and new growth initiatives such as B2B sales and partnership programs. Increased spend on marketing, a growing organization and the stock exchange listing contributed to a planned increase in costs and therefore a decline in net income for this quarter.
• In August, Sleep Cycle and Samsung announced a partnership, allowing Samsung to integrate part of Sleep Cycle's technology into certain Samsung devices. During the third quarter Sleep Cycle will receive up to SEK 3.5 million in revenue related to integration work.
"Growth in subscriptions and sales continued during the quarter through effective marketing and continued high rates of subscription renewals. Satisfying to note that the new growth initiatives launched in the spring also contributed to the growth, which confirms our strategy and long-term investments. Our operating income was weighed down, as expected, by costs linked to the stock exchange listing and to investments in marketing and a larger organization."
"The most important event of the period was the listing of Sleep Cycle on Nasdaq Stockholm on 8 June. The interest in the offering was high from both retail and professional investors. The attention from the stock exchange listing has also contributed to an increased inflow of business opportunities and a greater awareness of the company. With a stable cash position, a strong brand and success in our growth initiatives, Sleep Cycle is well positioned to achieve our long-term goals.
