CEO statement
Fix before grow – important milestones reached
We have put a challenging time behind us. In late 2018, we saw that the legacy business was not sustainable and we carried significant development costs and non-value generating costs. As first quarter proceeded, we also experienced that finalization of SpectrumOne demanded more of us than expected. But now we have reached important milestones with a streamlined legacy platform and a shippable SpectrumOne platform. We are excited to see a growing pipeline and new signings that proves our concept. Our new clients are now using SpectrumOne and we receive great feedback. As a consequence of our clarified strategy and removal of non-core activities, we now also have been able to cut fixed costs by approximately 30 %, as well as free our attention towards our clients.
Customers and general pipeline
Even though the sales have been delayed we were proud to have signed 7 customers by Q1. For the next quarters we expect customer acquisition to increase steadily as our product reaches increased acceptance in the market. As anticipated, our software can be applied to a number of different industries with customers coming from Auto, Insurance, Banking, Advertisement Agencies, B2B and B2C. This spread proves that the market sees the value of our marketing platform, and only in the Nordics we are presented with a potential of + 1.000 customers.
We currently have a strong pipeline built up after only four months of concentrated work on our new SaaS solution. Several offers are sent, many successful meetings have been held and almost 200 active leads are started. The customers with monthly licenses below the expected TSEK 50 average have shorter lead times than the customers with higher licenses. Thus, the medium customers are dominating the customers closest to signing, but we expect this to even out through the second half of the year.
It is also satisfying to see that we have managed to sign three advertising agencies with Foll, Schjærven and Createurene, out of two reasons: Firstly, these are leading advertising agencies in Norway and Sweden, in the front of the development of the marketing industry, who knows what´s generating value to their customers. Secondly, their portfolio of strong brands will give a quick entrance to customers that are very suitable to SpectrumOne.
Cost cuts
As a result of the clear strategic focus, we have now been able to reduce costs substantially across the whole operation. TargetEveryone had a lot of different product and sales initiatives that demanded too much resources to handle, without generating sufficient revenue or profitability. Contracts with non-value adding partners are now terminated and the legal group
structure is reduced. By directing our efforts towards SpectrumOne, we have discontinued the direct sales and new product development of our legacy platform. This led to staff reduction and the termination of our responsibilities
1) Costs before capitalization. Temporary financial expenses and costs related to financing are not included. Baseline is December 2018
towards our Indian Subsidiary. Coming out of Q1, we have now reduced our staff to 12 dedicated employees and our ordinary fixed cost base by 30 %, without affecting our ability to handle our clients or continue development. We rather experience a more focused and effective company after the changes of which the full effect will be from July 2019.
SpectrumOne delay
Development of deep technology software requires highly skilled people and significant time. Compared to other companies we are proud of what we have created for our customers in such a short time. In 15 months, we have developed SpectrumOne with a total cost of approximately MSEK 15. We launched our first version of SpectrumOne in January, but experienced that there still were some adjustments that had to be done before it was fully shippable. Parallelly, we also experienced that the sales process of our SaaS platform required longer lead time than expected. SaaS
sales cycles are longer than typical product sales of our legacy platform, and we now anticipate typical sales cycle to be 2-6 months.
Capital increase
Even though we always want to please our shareholders we believe the upcoming right issues will be a good solution for everyone in the long run. It is both costly and resource demanding to not have a solid financing. With a successful right issue, we now will receive a funding that both brings us to cash positivity and also gives us room to expand further. Both our board members and our management are heavily invested in our company because we believe so strongly in the product and the market, and we will also use our right to invest further in the right issue.
TargetEveryone´s future
In essence, TargetEveryone now is a brand-new company ready for the future with only two value pockets; SpectrumOne and online subscription sales of our legacy platform. We daily see examples that the Martech market is an attractive spot for investors with high growth rates, a lot of opportunities and consequently high valuations. Analysts such as Gartner predicts that the market for marketing software will grow tremendously over the next years, with expected investments from close to all mediumlarge companies, regardless of industry. We in TargetEveryone have now been through some challenging months, but are more motivated than ever to go ahead with our state of art Martech platform, generate value for both our clients and shareholders, and then look beyond our Nordic home market for future growth.

OPERATIONS
CUSTOMERS AND NEW BUSINESSES
The revenue from the first quarter consisted of legacy revenue due to the delay in SpectrumOne. During the first quarter the media agencies Foll, Schjærven and Createurene were signed, as well as Nespresso (Denmark and Finland), Insignia (Importer of Jaguar, Range Rover, Aston Martin) and 24SevenOffice. The customers with monthly licenses below the expected TSEK 50 average have shorter lead times than the customers with higher licenses. Thus, the medium customers are dominating the customers closest to signing, but this is expected to even out through the second half of the year. Since SpectrumOne is a new software, the duration of the contracts has been reduced to ease the entrance into a business relationship. This affects the ARR, but represent low risk since based on customer feedback. The contract lengths will be normalized going forward.
REVENUE AND EARNINGS
The consolidated income statement for the first quarter of 2019 comprises the parent company TargetEveryone AB and the subsidiaries VMSPlay Sweden AB, TargetEveryone Sweden AB, TargetEveryone AS and Indian TargetEveryone IT Ltd. The 30 % ownership of Cloud Explorers AS is also included in the results.
First quarter
Net sales for the first quarter of the year amounted to SEK 3.4 (7.5) million, a decrease of SEK 4.1 million or 54 %. The lower net sales are caused by lost revenue from VMSPlay Sweden AB that was discontinued in May 2018, and loss of legacy customers. The gross profit amounted to SEK 1.5 (2.5) million for the consolidated operations, with a gross margin at 44 % (33.0 %). The gross margin is higher than first quarter last year due to the discontinue of VMSPlay Sweden, that generated low gross margin.
Operating expenses excluding direct costs and depreciation amounted to SEK 11.1 (6.6) million. The personnel costs have decreased compared to previous quarter due to reduction of employees. The majority of the cost reductions from lay-offs will have effect from April, and all reductions from July. Other external costs have decreased compare to previous quarter, both because of less one-off costs, but also reduction of ordinary cost items. Depreciation and amortizations amounts to SEK 4.4 (2.4) million including share of earnings from associated companies. This refers to intangible fixed assets that arose after acquisitions of the Norwegian companies TargetEveryone AS and Cloud Explorers AS, and capitalized development costs. The increase compare to last year is because SpectrumOne development costs started to depreciate in January.
Operating profit (EBIT) for the period amounted to SEK -14.1 (-6.4) million, and the operating margin is negative. Net financial items amounted to SEK -0.5 (-4.0) million. Net financials in first quarter last year included interest expenses related to convertible loans. Earnings before tax for the period amounted to SEK -14.6 (-10.4) million. Earnings per share before and after dilution amounted to SEK -0.25 (-0.32).
In total, there has been extraordinary costs related to the convertible bond issue at approximately SEK 1.9 million in the first quarter.
CASH FLOW AND FINANCIAL POSITION Fourth quarter
Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital amounted to SEK - 10.2 (-4.2) million for the first quarter. Changes in working capital have affected cash flow by SEK 4.0 (4.8) million, mainly because of increase in account payables. Consequently, cash flow from operating activities after changes in working capital amounted to SEK -6.2 (0.6) million. Investment activities had a cash flow effect of SEK
-1.9 (-5.6) million during the period consisting of capitalized development costs. Cash flow from financing activities was SEK 4.4 (-2.5) million after receiving the new convertible loan and repayment of other short-term debt, which in total generated a cash flow effect at SEK -3.7 (7.5) million.
EQUITY AND SHARE
The average number of shares amounted to 54,188,407 before and 54,188,407 after dilution. The number of registered shares at the end of the quarter amounted to 54,188,407. The company's equity ratio amounts to 53.0 (35.4) %. The Group s equity ́ decreased SEK 12.5 million in the first quarter.
