«Our mission is to make learning awesome. Our portfolio of products drives billions of learning interactions annually, coming together through continuous product development, innovation and a team with focus and ambition to put magic learning moments at everyone's fingertips.

The Kahoot! Group achieved several strategic and financial milestones during the final quarter of 2021, including record-level activity and continued strong organic growth on the core Kahoot! platform. We delivered significant group-wide growth across all business areas with invoiced revenue up 126% YoY for the quarter, and 137% for the full year 2021, although we ended the quarter below our expectations due to our year end performance under increased uncertainty related to Omicron, including schools and businesses closing early before the holidays. In the quarter we also saw significantly improved cash-flow from operations, achieved in large part due to our scalable platform and our commitment to a user generated, sustainable and profitable growth.

Our continuous focus on realizing synergies across the Group's diverse portfolio has yielded solid results in a quarter where we further expanded our audience engagement offerings for all customer groups, launching a host of new innovative features and products. We are excited to springboard into 2022 after a record-year and quarter for the Kahoot! Group» - Eilert Hanoa, CEO of Kahoot!

Notes to the interim consolidated financial statements

Note 1 - General accounting policies

Kahoot! ASA (the Company or Kahoot!), the parent company of the Kahoot! Group (the Group) is a public limited liability company incorporated and domiciled in Norway, with its head office in Fridtjof Nansens plass 7, 0160 Oslo. The Company is listed on Oslo Stock Exchange has the ticker "KAHOT".

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements consist of Kahoot! ASA and its subsidiaries. As a result of rounding differences, numbers or percentages may not add up to the total.

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the twelve months ending 31 December 2021, have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, and authorized for issue by the board of directors on 16 February 2022. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual financial statements for 2020.

The accounting policies applied in the preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020, except for the following changes in the principles applied (the changes are described below):

  • change in functional currency in the parent company
  • changes in revenue recognition for DragonBox sales to schools; and
  • change in accounting estimates for deferred revenue

Change in functional currency

As of 1 January 2021, the parent company Kahoot! ASA changed its functional currency from NOK to USD. The indicators of functional currency changed in the second part of 2020. The company had strong growth in the last year and revenue is mainly denominated in USD, while the expenses are mainly denominated in NOK. However, financing has also moved from NOK to USD, evidenced by the contributions from capital increases held in USD.

The effect of a change in functional currency is recognized prospectively from the date of change, considered to be 1 January 2021.

Kahoot! ASA translates all items into the new functional currency using the exchange rate at the date of the change. The resulting translated amounts for non-monetary items are treated as their historical cost.

For the translation of equity items to the new functional currency the exchange rate at the date of the change of functional currency are applied. This means that no additional exchange differences arise on the date of the change. For the subsequent changes, equity items will be translated using their transaction date rate.

The comparable figures are not restated.

Change in revenue recognition for DragonBox – Sale to Schools

The Group has as disclosed in the Q3 report assessed the changes made to the product sold to schools for the school year 2021-2022 (1 August 2021 to 31 July 2022) and concluded that the changes in the product, its functionality and how the product is used and benefits the students, teachers and schools now satisfies the criteria of performance obligation over time.

As a result, the Group has as of 1 August 2021, changed the revenue recognition principles for the license revenues for DragonBox sale to schools from at point in time to over time, meaning that the license revenue is recognized over the subscription period (typically over 12 months).

The comparable figures for 2020 are not restated.

Change in accounting estimates for deferred revenues

During the second half of 2021, the Group has as disclosed in the Q3 report updated the model for estimating the recognition of revenue over time (deferred revenue). The effect of the change in accounting estimates results in an increase in the balance of contract liabilities (deferred revenue), offset by lower recognized revenue for previously reported periods.

The effect of the change in accounting estimates can be summarized as follows:

  • Opening balance 2020 (prior to 2020): Contract liabilities (deferred revenue) increased by \$716 thousand, offset to accumulated deficit.
  • FY 2020:

Contract liabilities (deferred revenue) increased by \$1,716 thousand as per 31 December 2020, offset as reduced recognized revenue (revenue from contracts with customers) of \$1,716 thousand in 2020.

The effect on recognized revenue in 2020 can be attributed to the following quarters:

Note 8 - Restated comparative figures for 2020

During the second half of 2021, the Group has as disclosed in the Q3 report updated the model for estimating the recognition of revenue over time (deferred revenue). The effect of the change in accounting estimates results in an increase in the balance of contract liabilities (deferred revenue), offset by lower recognized revenue for previously reported periods.

The effect of the change in accounting estimates can be summarized as follows:

  • Opening balance 2020 (prior to 2020): Contract liabilities (deferred revenue) increased by \$716 thousand, offset to accumulated deficit.
  • FY 2020:

Contract liabilities (deferred revenue) increased by \$1,716 thousand as per 31 December 2020, offset as reduced recognized revenue (revenue from contracts with customers) of \$1,716 thousand in 2020.

FY 2020: Deferred cost of sales (classified as other current assets) increased by \$73 thousand as per 31 December 2020, offset by reduced cost of sales of \$73 thousand in 2020.

See note 1 break-down of which quarters the restated revenues are attributed to.

Below is restated comparative figures for 2020.

Prior period correction

For 2020, currency translation differences relating to goodwill and intangible assets arising from the acquisitions of Actimo and Drops were included in net foreign exchange gains (losses) under consolidated statement of profit or loss instead of as exchange differences on translation of foreign operations under consolidated statement of comprehensive income or loss.

As a result, net foreign exchange losses were overstated by \$ 1,602 thousand, whereas exchange differences on translation of foreign operations were understated by \$1,602 thousand. Effect on equity is a reclassification between foreign currency translation reserves and accumulated deficit. The correction had no effect on cash balances.
