Letter from the CEO

With our attractive best-of-breed software solutions for worksite management, Ørn Software simplifies and streamlines day-to-day operations for around 2,000 customers within a wide range of industries.

The market opportunity is enormous. Estimates indicate that the relevant market for our services in the Nordic countries is NOK 14 billion, of which only 3 billion is currently being served. We are working hard to capture a significant share of this market. 2021 was a year of strong organic and acquisition-driven growth, and the success continues in 2022. At the end of the first quarter of 2022, our Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) was NOK 238 million, 92 percent higher than one year earlier. A total of 18.3 percent of ARR was organic growth. The quarterly growth was 8.2 percent, which was entirely organic.

Throughout 2021 we have strengthened our commercial organization and worked systematically to further develop our processes. The investment in sales and marketing has given results through an acceleration in new sales. At the same time, we have carried out price optimalization for our entire product portfolio, which contributes to the good development.

As we have previously announced, 2022 will be the year in which we consolidate our position and focus on reaping the benefits of the transformative acquisitions we completed in 2020 and 2021. We are working rigorously with mapping and utilizing cost synergies from the acquisitions, and a range of initiatives have been identified. We have completed the planning phase. As of the second quarter and onwards, we are now in the execution phase. However, even in the first quarter we managed to make some reductions to our cost base.

We will also realize revenue synergies, particularly linked to increased opportunities for cross sales in a growing portfolio, as well as through the export of acquired products to new markets and geographies.

We have never been more confident in our growth model and our ability to create value for our customers. Hence, our 2025 target of growing our ARR organically to NOK 430 million while achieving an EBITDA margin above 45 percent stands firm. At the same time, we are focusing on short-term optimization. As previously stated, we expect to improve our adjusted EBITDA margin from 29 percent in 2021 to the targeted range of 32-34 percent in 2022. We aim for a revenue of around NOK 270 million, up from NOK 194 million in 2021, With our high share of recurring revenue, we already have this target clearly in our sights.

Our clearly defined plan will bring us to a cash flow positive position after payment of interest for the full year 20221 . All in all, this means that 2022 will be a pivotal year for Ørn Software, bringing us up to a whole new level organizationally, technologically, and financially.

Operational development

At the end of Q1 2022 Ørn Software had a customer base generating Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) of NOK 238 million, which was 92% higher than one year earlier. The growth was driven by an increase in the number of customers and higher revenue per customer.

The Q1 2022 ARR represents a year-on-year organic growth, adjusted for currency fluctuations of 22.4 percent compared to 2.4 percent in Q1 2021.

The organic ARR growth is accelerated compared to previous quarters, which is an indication that the increased sales capacity throughout 2021 is generating good results. Ørn Software has won several significant contracts during the first quarter.

Churn rate in Q1 2022 was at 3.0 percent, compared to 2.7 percent in Q1 2021.

The net retention rate was 105.9 percent in Q1 2022, compared to 101.9 percent in Q1 2021, partly driven by price optimization. The net retention rate adjusted for currency fluctuations was 107.0 percent in Q1 2022 and 98.3 percent in Q1 2021.

The total number of customers has increased from 1.745 at the end of Q1 2021 to 1,931 at the end of Q1 2022, primarily driven by M&A activities, but also to some extent by new sales.

Numbers of customers 610 442 615

At the end of Q1 2022, the segment ARR was NOK 157.4 million, a growth of 94 percent Y/Y. The growth is driven by successful acceleration of new sales, price optimization and the acquisition of Facilit and Rapal in 2021.

Organic year-on-year ARR growth, adjusted for currency fluctuations, was 14.1 percent, driven by new sales and upsales. The quarter-onquarter organic growth, adjusted for currency fluctuations, was 7.8 percent.

Churn in Q1 22 was 3.8 percent, relatively stable compared to the same period in 2021. The net retention rate was 103.2 percent in Q1 22, up from 98.1 percent in Q1 2021. The net retention rate adjusted for currency fluctuations was 104.8 percent.

Operating revenue in the segment in Q1 22 was NOK 42.9 million, a growth of 110 percent compared to the same period in 2021. The adjusted EBITDA margin was 31.4 percent in Q1 2022 compared to 24.7 percent in Q1 2021. The improved adjusted EBITDA margin was positively affected by organic growth in revenue and margins from acquired companies Facilit and Rapal.

At the end of Q1 2022, the segment ARR was NOK 64.9 million, a growth of 134 percent compared to Q1 2021. Organic ARR year-onyear growth was 57 percent, and the organic quarter-on-quarter growth in Q1 22 was 19 percent, driven by an acceleration in new sales and price optimization.

The adjusted EBITDA margin was 57.6 percent in Q1 2022 compared to 65.1 percent in Q1 2021. The decrease in the adjusted EBITDA margin was primarily driven by a lower margin in Landax, which was acquired in Q2 2021.

The segment consists of the solution acquired in December 2020 with effect from Q1 2021 (Entro IT).

At the end of Q1 22, the segment ARR was NOK 15.6 million, a yearon-year growth of 2.9 percent and unchanged quarter-on-quarter.

Net retention rate in 2021 was 101 percent and churn was 2.7 percent.

The segment Energy & Sustainability Management is new to Ørn as of the end of 2020. There have been early signs in 2021 of a positive effect through the ramp up in the number of sales reps hired in 2021. The overall market for Energy & Sustainability Management solutions is expected to increase rapidly over the coming years due to an increased focus on energy consumption and climate challenges, and the introduction of the new EU Taxonomy framework in particular, among other things.

Operating revenue in the segment in Q1 2022 was NOK 4.3 million, a year-on-year growth of 16 percent. The adjusted EBITDA margin was 19.9% in Q1 2022, a decline from 51.4% in Q1 2021. The adjusted EBITDA margin in this segment is lower than for the other two segments due to costs (COGS4) associated with customer delivery services that we buy from our partner Entro AS.

Ørn Software's consolidated revenues were NOK 65.1 million in Q1 2022. This represents a growth of 109 percent compared to the same period in 2021. The revenue growth was primarily driven by the acquisitions of Facilit, Landax and Rapal during 2021. The group's quarterly organic recurring revenue growth in Q1 2022 was 8 percent but the decrease in non-reccurring revenue in Q1 2022 was 56 percent. The strategically important growth in the recurring revenue was driven by upsales and price optimization. Non-recurring revenue declined due several temporary factors, including to low implementation activity for certain solutions in Q1, as expected, and tender activity.

The gross profit margin of the group was 89.1 percent in Q1 2022, down from 94.5 in Q1 2021. Facilit, which was acquired in Q1 2021, and Entro IT, acquired in Q4 2020, have lower gross margins than the rest of the group, thus negatively impacting the overall gross margin. The lower gross margin for these companies relates to hired customer support services which are classified as cost of goods. Rapal, acquired in Q3 2021, also has a lower gross margin due to sensor costs related to its proptech solution.

The Group's EBITDA, adjusted for special items, was NOK 19.1 million in Q1 2022, an increase of 113 percent compared to Q1 2021. EBITDA adjusted margin was 29.4 percent in Q1 2022, compared to 28.8 percent in Q1 2021. The reduction was due to increased cost related to corporate functions, partly driven by the public listing in March 2021, activities related to the integration of acquired companies, and positioning of the group for reaping synergies starting in 2022.

Reported EBITDA was NOK 17.6 million in Q1 2022 (NOK -7.9 million in 2021).

Depreciations and amortizations were NOK -17.7 million in Q1 2022 compared to NOK -8.9 million in Q1 2021. The increase reflects the substantially accelerated investment activity in the group during the past two years. The acquisition of Rapal, which was completed in early July 2021, has led to a significant increase in depreciation. In total, acquisitionrelated depreciation and amortization amounted to NOK 9.3 million in Q1 2022 compared to NOK 4.2 million in Q1 2021.

Reported EBIT was NOK -0.1 million in Q1 2022 compared to NOK -16.8 million in Q1 2021. Q1 2021 was affected negatively by the special items related to the IPO, the acquisitions, and the increased depreciations and amortizations.

Net financial income in Q1 2022 was NOK -1.6 million (NOK 5.7 million in 2021), reflecting interest expenses of NOK 8.7 million, other loan related expenses of NOK 0.8 million, and a net positive currency effect of NOK 8.0 million related to the company's debt denominated in SEK and EUR.

Reported tax in Q1 2022 was positive with NOK 0.4 million, compared to NOK 2.7 million in Q1 2021. Other comprehensive income consists solely of currency exchange differences on translation of foreign operations.

Cash flow

Cash flow from operating activities was NOK 67.5 million in Q1 2022 (NOK 36.4 million in Q1 2021), primarily driven by changes in operating items related to trade and other receivables and trade and other payables, and contract liabilities related to SaaS subscriptions, which are paid up front and satisfied over time.

Cash flow from investing activities was NOK -14.5 million in Q1 2022 (NOK -50.9 million in Q1 2021), driven by a capex of NOK 13.3 million, primarily related to investments in software development.

Net cash flow from financing activities was NOK -7.1 million in Q1 2022 (NOK 267.4 million in Q1 2021), primarily driven by payment of interest.

Net change in cash and cash equivalents was NOK 45.9 million (NOK 253.2 million in Q1 2021) including foreign exchange effects. Total cash at the end of Q1 2022 was NOK 180.1 million.

Financial position as at 31 March 2022

Following the gross NOK 250 million in equity capital raised ahead of the IPO in March 2021, Ørn Software has a robust balance sheet and is well capitalized to deliver on its stated growth ambitions.

Total assets amounted to NOK 1,027.8 million (978.1 million at the end of 2021). Total current assets amounted to 214.2 million (160.7 million at the end of 2021), consisting primarily of cash. Cash and cash equivalents amounted to NOK 180.1 million (134.5 million at the end of 2021). Non-current assets amounted to 813.6 million (817.4 million at the end of 2021).

Total liabilities were at 663.2 million (NOK 608.1 million at the end of 2021). Current liabilities increased to NOK 173.7 million (NOK 113.3 million at the end of 2021). Non-current liabilities fell slightly to NOK 489.5.8 million (NOK 494.8 million at the end of 2021).

Financial risk

The Group's principal financial liabilities comprise interest bearing debt, lease liabilities, and trade and other payables. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Group's operations. The Group's principal financial assets include trade and other receivables, cash and short-term deposits that derive directly from its operations. The Group does not hold derivative financial instruments.

The Group is exposed to a range of risks affecting its financial performance, including market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group seeks to minimize potential adverse effects of such risks through sound business practices and risk management.

Risk management is carried out by Group management under policies approved by the Board. The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks, which are summarized below:

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market prices. Market risk for the Group comprises two types of risk: interest rate risk and currency risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include interest bearing debt, cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, lease liabilities, trade and other payables.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The Group's exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Group's bond loans which have base interest rates in STIBOR (for loan notes denominated in SEK) and EURIBOR (for loan notes denominated in EUR). The Group does not currently hedge the base interest rates. The current interest rate environment is low, and the Group may enter into contracts to offset some of the risk depending on projections for future interest rates.

Interest rate sensitivity

The sensitivity to a possible change in interest rates related to the Group's bond loan, with all other variables held constant, on the Group's profit before tax. In calculating the sensitivity analyses, the Group assumes that the sensitivity of the relevant statement of profit or loss item is the effect of the assumed changes in respective financial risks.

Share information

At the end of Q1 2022 Ørn Software had 94.4 million shares. The company also has a program of 4.7 million options outstanding. The company was listed on Euronext Growth on 29 March. The shares have since traded between NOK 3.8 and NOK 13.0 per share. The company has approximately 334 shareholders, with the 20 largest shareholders holding 88% of the shares. See note 4.7 "Share capital and shareholders information" for more information.

Events after the balance sheet date

During March 2022 the conditions for the earn-out related to the acquisition of Rapal Oy have been met in full, resulting in an earn-out consideration of EUR 2.4 million to be paid in March 2022. This is the same amount which was entered as deferred consideration in the financial statement as of 31.12.21.

Outlook

Ørn Software is a leading software company with digital solutions for industrial and real estate management in the Nordic market. Through organic growth and targeted acquisitions, the company has significant growth ambitions both in the Nordic region and in Europe.

The market potential in the Nordic region is estimated at NOK 14 billion. By 2025, Ørn Software aims to achieve an ARR of NOK 430 million based on organic growth, in addition to further growth through M&A.

Ørn Software's business model, which is based on providing Software-as-a-Service, is highly scalable. The company will continue to focus on sales and ARR growth, and will increasingly move services over to shared technology platforms, which will add to this scalability. In addition to revenue growth, the company aims to increase its EBITDA margin to at least 45 percent by 2025 and gradually reduce CAPEX as a percentage of revenue from 2023 and onwards.

In 2022, Ørn Software will take important steps towards its long-term goals. This year, the key focus will be on reaping revenue and cost synergy effects in the aftermath of the string of acquisitions completed in 2020 and 2021. This means that the company will see a step change in terms of profitability during 2022. We expect our adjusted EBITDA margin to improve from 24 percent in 2021 to a targeted range of 33-35 percent in 2022. Combined with a target of revenue of around NOK 270 million, up from 194 million in 2021, and stable CAPEX as a percentage of revenue, this indicates that we can expect a significant boost to our cash earnings.

Many of Ørn Software's solutions experience long sales cycles. This is particularly the case for real estate management solutions for large public and private organizations. During 2021 and thus far in 2022, we have seen positive momentum when it comes to building up our sales pipeline. Hence, organic growth in ARR and revenue is expected to gradually accelerate during 2022 and beyond.

Note 8 Events after the reporting period

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

If the Group receives information after the reporting period, but prior to the date of authorization for issue, regarding conditions that existed at the end of the reporting period, the Group will assess if the information affects the amounts that it recognizes in the Group's financial statements. The Group will adjust the amounts recognized in its financial statements to reflect any adjusting events after the reporting period and update the disclosures that relate to those conditions in light of the new information. For non-adjusting events after the reporting period, the Group will not change the amounts recognized in its financial statements but will disclose the nature of the non-adjusting event and an estimate of its financial effect, or a statement that such an estimate cannot be made, if applicable.

Adjusting events

There have been no significant adjusting events after the reporting date.

Alternative performance measures

Alternative performance measures ("APMs") are used by the Group to provide a better understanding of the Group's underlying financial performance for the period. Annual recurring revenue (ARR) and adjusted EBITDA are also used by management to drive performance in terms of target setting.

APMs have been defined by the Group as follows:

  • Gross margin is total revenue less the cost of goods sold (COGS)
  • Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA adjusted for material items which are not regarded as part of underlying business performance for the period, such as costs related to acquisitions and divestments, restructuring costs and rebranding, as well as other material effects of a special nature.
  • Annual recurring revenue (ARR) is defined as at each point in time the annual value of contracted license revenue, which is considered recurring by nature, although the contract includes termination clauses that enable customers, with a certain notification period, to terminate the customer agreement.
  • Net Retention is the overall impact on the revenue generation from existing customers.
  • Churn rate is the rate at which existing customers cease using a product in a given time period.
  • Organic Growth in Annual Recurring Revenue is used to measure the Group's ability to grow through additional revenue from existing and new customers, as opposed to growth through acquisitions. Organic growth is defined as ARR at the end of the period, adjusted for the ARR from acquisitions made during the comparison period measured at the time of the acquisition, divestments, and foreign currency fluctuations, compared to reported ARR at the end of the previous period. In 2021, the ARR was also adjusted for the effect of one single Swedish customer ending its use of Ørn's services in Q2 2021.
