Q1 2022 Sales Development

21% y-o-y increase in Annual Recurring Revenue

USD million

  • ARR of USD 105.6 million at the end of Q1 2022
    • USD 0.8 million below Q4 2021
  • Underlying ARR is USD 1.2 million higher, adjusting for negative USD 2.0 million one-off booking from change in pricing model with a single partner contract
    • Expect this change to drive more than USD 4 million ARR growth during 2022

Continued positive development on churn

– At 9.2% p.a. compared to 9.7% p.a. at the end of last quarter

Lack of acceleration on new sales and lower upsell due to:

  • Strategic re-focus to three core solution areas in early stage of execution
  • Lack of hardware endpoint deliveries to customers delaying projects
  • Lower net upsell due to strong growth in capacity last two years
  • Limited impact of situation in Ukraine 9

New customers represent the main driver for ARR growth

  • Sales to new customers continue to be main driver behind growth, in line with previous period
  • Improved churn at 9.2% in line with trend over last quarters
  • Lower ARR net retention due to lower net upsell driven by change in partner pricing model (USD -2 million) and excess capacity due to lower than planned video room usage
