Company announcement no. 11/2018

Copenhagen, 21 August 2018

Conferize A/S releases interim report for the first half of 2018

The Board of Conferize A/S has today approved the interim report for the first half of 2018. The report is unaudited.

Summary

The development in Conferize A/S in the first half of 2018 follows the Company's strategy. The creation of a new version of the Company's digital platform for the event and conference industry progresses according to plan and will be launched later in 2018. The Company is experiencing massive and continued growth in users, organizers and events, even though there is currently only a functional prototype in the market.

Conferize A/S has realized a loss of DKK 3.2 million in the first half of 2018. The loss can be attributed to the Company's continued development activities. The Company is still in the phase of development and since the first basic prototype of the Event Management Software is offered for free to the market, in order to secure adoption and market feedback, revenue for the first 6 months has been low.

At the end of June 2018, the cash in the Company amounted to DKK 19.4 million. The Company still assess that it has sufficient working capital to realize its plans for development at this stage.

The Board and the Management of Conferize A/S consider the Company's operations and development to be satisfactory in the first half of 2018. CEO Martin Ferro-Thomsen comments:

"Everything goes according to plan. We are on the verge of completing development of the next generation of our platform, which is a massive undertaking. It will be launched this year, in 2018, and introduces a completely new take on event management, built on cutting edge technology and featuring a highly innovative user experience. We are experiencing an amazing growth in event organizers. In the first six months of the year we have realized a monthly growth of 11 percent on average! This means we now have 235 percent more event organizers on the platform than when we listed on Nasdaq First North just over a year ago. And, mind you, this growth is based solely on Conferize V1, our functional prototype."

The company still estimate that a positive cash flow will be established over the coming 3-5 years. CFO Søren Dalsgaard Hansen comments:

"Basically, the value of our business must be calculated upon our ability to attract users and our ability to transform the reach of the platform into cash. We are already growing and with the introduction of ticket fees later this year, we will really be able to transform the growth into cash."
