In August 2014, agreement was reached with Constellation Software Inc. (CSI) on the sale of the NedGraphics division, and the decision was unanimously approved by the extraordinary shareholders' meeting held on October 7, 2014. The sale secures a future for NedGraphics, whilst also creating funding for the LOFT business. The proceeds of the transaction have been used to reduce debt and further invest in LOFT so as to enter new markets and stay ahead of competition. Nantahala and Bertoia, two existing shareholders in the company, have agreed to invest additional capital in the company to provide growth capital however financing will have to remain an area of focus in 2015. Although growth for the LOFT division was foreseen, revenue for the full year 2014 equals EUR 479k, a decrease of EUR 343k versus 2013. The decrease in revenue in 2014 is due to the company transitioning away from customized implementations of LOFT, to focus on managing the rooomy platform with a subscription and referral fee business model, and the related generic version of LOFT. NedSense' operating expenses excluding NedGraphics, increased by approximately 4% resulting in an operating result of approximately EUR -2.7 million. Including the divested NedGraphics division, NedSense's operating result in 2014 is almost unchanged from 2013.
The NedSense portfolio encompasses the customer experience solution LOFT™ and rooomy. The LOFT core technology enables easy conversion of 2D photos into an interactive 3D environment which can be decorated with real products of leading retail brands. The rooomy platform connects real estate with retail and consumers providing real estate agents the service to virtually stage their property listings resulting in increased conversions at higher valuations. For retailers, the platform offers the digital opportunity to connect with home shoppers at the right point in time. For consumers, rooomy is a user friendly App to view and decorate their (future) homes.
NedSense concluded 2014 with a net loss of € 3.20 million (2013: € 1.70 million loss). The lower result was primarily due to a decrease in net revenue of € 0.34 million, an increase in capitalized production and related amortization of € 0.30 million, and a decrease in results from discontinued operations of € 0.64 million due to the sale of NedGraphics as of September 30th, 2014. The operating result for 2014 amounted to € 2.69 million negative (2013: € 1.91 million negative).
Activities focus on the LOFT development of software. LOFT net revenue decreased from € 0.82 million in 2013 to € 0.48 million in 2014. Operating result decreased to a loss of € 1.52 million (2013: € 0.89 million loss) as LOFT continues to further develop its products. The discontinued activities of NedGraphics and Dynamics Perspective resulted in a net profit of € 0.08 million in 2014 (full year 2013: € 0.72 million).
The operational cash flow in 2014 amounted to € 0.50 million positive (2013: € 0.25 million positive). The cash flow from investments in 2014 was € 3.15 million positive (2013: € 2.61 million negative). The increase from 2013 was primarily due to the disposal of NedGraphics. The cash flow from financing in 2014 amounted to € 0.09 million positive (2013: € 2.51 million positive). The total change in cash and cash equivalents in 2014 amounted to € 3.75 million positive (2013: € 0.11 million positive).
From 31 December 2013, non-current assets decreased from € 11.69 million to € 3.13 million. The decrease is mainly due to the disposal of NedGraphics. 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 € 6.29 million as of 31 December 2013 to € 3.30 million as of 31 December 2014. This € 2.99 million decrease was mainly caused by the negative result. Solvency decreased to 36.4% at 31 December 2014 from 36.8% at 31 December 2013.
The number of outstanding ordinary shares, with a nominal value of € 0.10 each, was 29,423,232 as of 31 December 2014. 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 Loft division has been focused on maintaining and upselling within its LOFT customer base. Furthermore, focus has been on implementing rooomy of which the first release is expected to be launched in April 2015. The rooomy platform will mark the transition of Loft towards subscription- and referral fee based business models. Launching partners in the real estate industry as well as home furnishings retail have been added to the rooomy community.
In the first quarter Loft also released Havertys' room planner which is deployed on both their website and as an iOS App. The application has been built on LOFT's 3D technology.
In 2015, NedSense will focus on a growth strategy. Crucial for this growth is the market adoption of the rooomy platform in real estate and home furnishings retail markets. The deployment of a flexible organization 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.
