Q4 2020 Quarterly Report

Q4 2020 highlights

A record quarter for Huddly:

  • Revenue at 112.0 MNOK, up 67 % compared to Q4 2019
  • EBIT at 32.4 MNOK, compared to 14.7 mNOK in Q4 2019
  • Gross margin at 55% for the quarter.

Huddly launched the Work From Anywhere kit with Huddly One. Huddly and Shure collaborate to provide new room bundles.

R&D and Product

Huddly released the Work From Anywhere kit in February 2021. It features the Huddly ONE camera, which is designed for usage in one-person scenarios. Huddly ONE delivers Full HD, wide-angle video and enables high-quality meetings from desktop and laptop. Made for people who value flexibility, it supports you in doing your best work from anywhere.

Huddly ONE also features Portrait Lighting, which uses AI to understand the lighting conditions in the image. The camera automatically adjusts brightness to ensure that the face is well-lit and facial expressions are visible.

Huddly Canvas is now also integrated with Zoom. Canvas is easy to use, and does not require team members to learn new technology. When you're in a video call, you can share an enhanced stream of the whiteboard simply by clicking the content camera button.

Sales

Q4 2020 was another record quarter for Huddly.

We engaged Frost & Sullivan to quantify our Target market.

Crestron and Google continued to be strong partners and Huddly commenced sales to our new partner Shure. With Huddly ONE we are partnering with Bang & Olufsen. The partnership will begin with the bundling of the Huddly ONE camera with one of three Bang & Olufsen products: the portable Bluetooth speaker Beosound A1 2nd generation, Beoplay E8 earphones, or the Beoplay H9 headphones.

We continued to invest in our Channels Go-To-Market strategy in both EMEA and the USA.

Outlook

With our leading engineering and design, we are well positioned to take continued part in the fast growing Unified Communication and Collaboration market.

Huddly forecasts revenue to be in the range from 500 MNOK to 600 MNOK in FY 2021. The COVID-19 pandemic, causing many closed offices globally, has impacted the sales opportunities into the enterprise office market in the start of 2021. Huddly sees signs of improvements in this vertical and believe sales opportunities into the enterprise market will increase going forward, especially in second half of 2020. Huddly forecasts gross margin percentage to be around 50% in FY 2021 and costs to increase as Huddly accelerates investments in products, go-to-market and support functions to accommodate for long term growth.
