OSLO, 6 May 2021 – Kahoot! ASA, (KAHOT) today announced financial results for its fiscal quarter ended 31 March 2021, in-line with the main numbers presented on the trading update 7 April 2021. The Kahoot! Group continued its strong performance in the first quarter of 2021, including solid growth in usage, revenues, subscribers, launch of several new features and services as well as the acquisition of Whiteboard.fi.
Invoiced revenue for the Kahoot! Group reached \$19.1 million in Q1 2021, representing 195% growth from reported invoiced revenue in Q1 2020. The quarter over quarter invoiced revenue growth was 9% in Q1 2021 (vs. Q4 2020). The Kahoot! Group customer base ARR (Annual Recurring Revenue) as of 31 March 2021 reached \$69 million. The Kahoot! Group delivered in Q1 2021 solid cash flow with approx. 28% cash conversion from billed revenue. The Kahoot! Group reached more than 760 thousand paid subscriptions per Q1 2021 including acquired units.
As we closed out the first quarter, I am proud to share that our organization has delivered solid financial growth and provided more value to all Kahoot! users around the world. The Kahoot! Group reached invoiced revenue of \$19.1 million for Q1 2021, representing 195% YoY growth with continued strong cash flow from operations of \$5.4 million for Q1 2021.
We also had continued growth in paid subscriptions across all units in Kahoot!, reaching more than 760 thousand in the first quarter of 2021, including all Kahoot! subscriptions, DragonBox math curriculum, Drops language learning, monthly active Actimo employee licenses, and Whiteboard.fi, the online whiteboard tool for teachers and classrooms.
In Q1, the growth continued on the Kahoot! platform, with more than 28 million active accounts (68% YoY growth), hosting 279 million games (28% YoY growth) with more than 1.6 billion participating players (24% YoY growth), all in the last 12 months. We kicked off the first quarter of 2021 by reaching a big milestone of 5 billion cumulative participating players since Kahoot! was launched in 2013.
In February, we announced the acquisition of Whiteboard.fi, an online whiteboard tool for teachers and classrooms that helps engage students both in the physical classroom and through remote learning. Through this acquisition, Kahoot! expanded its platform to provide more powerful learning and engagement tools for more than 8 million teachers and educators on the Kahoot! platform.
We made several powerful product and feature updates for both teachers/students as well as for corporate users. Based on popular requests, we launched the ability for students to see both questions and answers on their devices in a live Kahoot! or virtually, providing a more accessible and inclusive experience for all. In addition, we upgraded our free-for-teachers offering to allow all K-12 teachers to add slides in their kahoots.
In March, we introduced Kahoot! Academy Connect, a community for educators allowing them to network, discover and share unique learning content with millions of educators, teachers, and followers on the Kahoot! platform. In the coming months, we will continue to improve Kahoot! Academy Connect, including more functionality for sharing and connecting for more users and publishing partners. Additionally, we will also introduce Kahoot! Academy Marketplace where educators will be able to offer their content for purchase to other users.
For our corporate users, we introduced several improvements including new slide layouts as part of Kahoot! 360 for work to give participants more context while boosting focus. We also announced our PowerPoint add-in allowing hosts to present kahoots without ever leaving PowerPoint's presenter view, giving hosts more opportunities to make their presentations more engaging and interactive, whether inperson or online.
Earlier in March, we hosted our Kahoot! EDU Meetup: Spring edition where nearly 20,000 educators from all around the world joined us for the virtual professional development event to hear about educators' best practices, new features, and exciting offerings for hybrid learning.
We launched our collaboration with Google Search, to bring Kahoot!'s engaging learning experiences to Google Search users worldwide. This collaboration allows anyone to discover and play math practice problems from Kahoot! Academy directly from the Google Search results page.
As part of our strategy to make Kahoot! even more accessible, relevant and intuitive for our global community, particularly for young learners, we launched two new languages, German and Italian, to the growing numbers of languages that the Kahoot! app now supports, including Spanish, French and Portuguese. The upcoming addition of language learning to the Kahoot! app will enable reading out questions and answers for self-study, supporting over 30 languages.
A new report from Interbrand estimated the strength of the Kahoot! brand, currently describing Kahoot! as "a platform and experience that users feel passionate about" and "there is a deeper sense of connection that users feel with Kahoot!" The report also shows that Kahoot!'s Global Brand Strength (one of three main criteria for brand value) is on par with the likes of long-established global brands such as YouTube, Nintendo and Sony.
Last but not least in an eventful first quarter of the year, Kahoot! reached another milestone as we started to trade on the Oslo Stock Exchange main list - being available to an even larger, global investor base with a passion for making learning awesome!
In the beginning of the second quarter, we announced the acquisition of Motimate to strengthen Kahoot!'s offerings in employee engagement and corporate learning. The acquisition is a part of a strategy to accelerate Kahoot!'s employee engagement product development and expand its product road map further.
As we head further into the second quarter, we will continue to launch new initiatives catering to all audiences, including our upcoming launch of Zoom integration that will allow users to host and play Kahoot! games and presentations without ever leaving the Zoom meeting.
Finally, we look forward to launch Kahoot! 360 Spirit during May, our first Employee Engagement offering on the Kahoot! platform, providing a complete solution for corporate learning, audience engagement, company culture and team spirit building, together with the upcoming Kahoot! Engage feature, blending the video conference into the Kahoot! at work experience.
