The current strategy of NedSense is based on the 'Value Triangle' of revenue growth, performance improvement, market deployment, and sustainability. With the financial structure of the company having strengthened significantly, which NedSense announced today in a separate press release, the company is now in a position to move on to the next step, namely to further growth. Throughout 2012, NedSense performed competently across the globe. Although we see markets only slowly recovering from the effects of the economic crisis, NedSense has continued to gain market share and be successful in the American, European and Asian markets. In fact, NedSense has achieved a year-over-year growth in revenue of over 10%, while operating costs increased only slightly compared to 2011. Sales in the second half of 2012 were particularly strong, reinforcing not only the company's financial situation but also its position as a market leader. The engagement with Crate and Barrel announced and implemented in 2012 sparked interest in other markets, like the engagement in the 'flooring industry' with Carpet Court from Australië. It also resulted in the roll out of a new application of the LOFT technology, like the development of LOFT4Brands, a 'software as a service' (SaaS) solution.
"Not only does NedSense enjoy a clear vision and mission that appeals to investors, its products have now proven their value to the markets. The healthy atmosphere alive within NedSense is reflected in the new premises we moved to in July 2012. The open plan layout echoes the transparent nature of the organization, and a new vibe, culture and professionalism can be clearly felt. It is a positive development from which we can reap the benefits across the board", says NedSense CEO Pieter Aarts.
NedSense ended 2012 with a net loss of € 1.42 million (2011: € 1.78 million loss). The improved result of 2012 was mainly due to an increase in net revenue of € 0.78 million. The operating result for 2012 amounted to € 1.10 million negative (2011: € 1.74 million negative). Activities include the CAD CAM activities of NedGraphics, the LOFT development of software that allows 3-dimensional reproduction in a personal environment, and the ERP activities of Dynamics Perspective. The net revenue of NedGraphics increased by 7.8% to € 8.82 million (2011: 8.18 million). Operating profit increased to € 1.17 million from € 0.07 million in 2011. LOFT net revenue increased from € 0.23 million in 2011 to € 0.56 million in 2012, an increase of over 140%. Operating result decreased to a loss of € 0.78 million (2011: € 0.53 million loss) as LOFT continues to further invest in the development of its products. Dynamics Perspective's net revenue declined to € 0.52 million from € 0.71 million in 2011. Operating result decreased from a loss of € 0.02 million to a loss of € 0.12 million in 2012.
The operational cash flow in 2012 amounted to € 0.70 million positive (2011: € 0.77 million negative). The increase from 2011 was mainly due to the improved operating result and lower trade receivables. The cash flow from investments in 2012 was € 2.59 million negative (2011: € 2.89 million negative). The cash flow from financing in 2012 was € 1.61 million positive (2011: € 3.73 million positive) as a result of financing from Project Holland Fonds and receipt of the innovation credit grant. The total change in cash and cash equivalents in 2012 amounted to € 0.29 million negative (2011: € 0.07 million positive).
From 31 December 2011, fixed assets increased from € 10.76 million to € 11.22 million. The increase is mainly due to the capitalization of developed software for the LOFT product line. Due to the negative results in recent years, NedSense has losses that may be carried forward. These tax assets are not capitalized in the balance sheet as management is currently not certain that sufficient taxable profits will be made in the near future to realize the value of these tax assets.
Shareholders' equity decreased from € 6.64 million as of 31 December 2011 to € 5.68 million as of 31 December 2012. This € 0.96 million decrease was mainly caused by the negative result. As a result, solvency decreased to 35.7% at 31 December 2012 from 40.6% at 31 December 2011.
The number of outstanding ordinary shares, with a nominal value of € 0.10 each, was 21,081,343 as of 31 December 2012. Please see the accompanying financial statements and the notes to those statements for additional information.
In the first quarter, the company has performed in line with expectations. The NedGraphics division once again added a number of big names to its client list. In particular the largest U.S. sports brand was a striking success. The collection of maintenance fees is also proceeding as expected. Furthermore, the Board of Directors has transferred all operational management responsibilities to a newly formed management team. The new team is formed from its own management containing a good mix of knowledge, experience, geographical and cultural background.
The LOFT division has succesfully teamed up with two new clients namely the VME groep (better known in the Netherlands as the successful retailer 'Trendhopper') and Quodes. The latter will make use of LOFT4Brands, an entirely new platform which offers the LOFT technology 'software as a service' (SaaS). In the first quarter a start was made with a completely new release of both the web-based version as the iPad version of the LOFT technology, which will be released in the summer of 2013. Besides the renewed website of LOFT was launched in the first quarter (http://www.loft-nedsense.com/). In addition, an innovative social media strategy was rolled out with the birth of avatar 'Lofty' (for further information http://www.loftysblog.com/ and https://twitter.com/TweetsByLofty).
Also the management team in the LOFT division has been strengthened whereby key positions in research, development and sales were filled in.
The first quarter was partly tinted as the final advances of the Ministry of Economic Affairs for an amount of € 0.36 million was allocated.
In 2013, NedSense will continue its growth strategy. Crucial for this growth is the market adoption of the LOFT technology. The deployment of a flexible organisation together with business partners will enhance the scalability which will enable NedSense to better balance its revenues and expenses and take contingency measures when necessary.
