CEO STATEMENT
Closing and a new beginning
During the last five months of 2019, I have had the opportunity to lead a long
-tormented company with amazing people and tremendous potential but in lack of
leadership, focus and vision. I set a plan with the board in order to make a
complete turnaround of the company, streamline our organisation and have the
right focus on the market. What we had planned to be executed on 12 months basis
we have accomplished to do in half that time. It turned out our people where
more engaged, our potential even larger and our value to our clients much higher
than we had expected. The times of insecurity are over, and our future is now
brighter than ever.
We have a built a remarkable pipeline, secured clients on a high level and
started processes with partners and new clients we could only have dreamt of
earlier. All this a necessity in order to become the best Martech company in
Europe. Also furthermore and importantly, become cash-flow positive and generate
profit for growth and development increasing our shareholders value.
Today we have a highly competitive and unique platform approaching the very
demanding and growing business data market, we have a partner program in place
with several key partners and a sales structure optimized to enable us to
approach the right clients. A clear cultural transformation in TargetEveryone
has enabled us to dare to reach for larger clients and thus boost our own self
-esteem. This is creating a positive circle, clients and partners are now
reaching out to us to elaborate on how to cooperate together. This is truly
taking us to a new position in the market
From unstable and unprofitable heading towards a success
We basically started off at zero after divesting our legacy business in TEO 1.0
in October. A decision not taken easily but looking back to it, we know more
than ever that we did everything right. The divestment made it possible for us
to have one focus, to develop and adapt our business to what is becoming the
future of Martech - a high margin product with great future potentials and
incredible testimonials from partners and customers today and I am certain from
our future clients.
Significantly improved overall results & margin
TargetEveryone is at this moment experiencing the most remarkable turn-around in
its history. Since last Q4 we have managed to cut the majority of operational
costs by more than 70%, taking into consideration the extraordinary costs we
have incurred during the reductions in staffing and restructured of our
workforce.
Our EBITDA is clearly improved by more than 40% since last Q4, taking in
consideration the one-off cost for loss on sales of subsisidiary. This is the
result of a strict focus on our costs and streamlining the organisation to do
the right things at the right time and on-time. All unnecessary costs not
contributing to our immediate growth are basically cut off.
Essentially, starting off at zero in Q4 we have invoiced only for the fully
implemented customers about 700 KSEK. We no longer offer any free trials or
discounted contracts. Our product offering is strong and we do not experience
that any of our clients are unwilling to pay from the beginning. Therefore,
although these figures might seem somewhat low, with a levels that does not make
us profitable in the short term - they should be seen as the beginning of our
fundamental pricing and incomes, with each client fully invoiced earlier in the
implementation phase giving us more solid, predictable, reliable
incomes and growth. Additional to that, several customers were signed at the end
of the quartile leading to their revenue not contributing in the Q4 but in Q1 to
come.
Major revenue growth
We foresee a major client onboarding and revenue growth in the coming quarters.
Derived from the clients recently signed or about to be signed, along with our
strong pipeline via direct sales and our partners. This coupled with the
acquisition of Cloud Explorers and the ability to greatly shorten the length of
implementation period grants us an even faster tempo to our progress. In
addition to this we are in the process of acquiring several more companies in
order to broaden our offer and strengthen our position in the market. This
growth is not only making our company's future brighter, but the strength for
growth and our opportunities is becoming even more visible for me, and hopefully
also for every shareholder of this company.
Growth and acquisition strategy finally starting off
This week we have completed the financial plan required for us to implement our
strategy. The finalized plan grants us the opportunity to act goal-oriented with
clear and important foresight into what will come. It also gives our
shareholders relevant insights and a much appreciated transparency of what lays
ahead us.
The following three aspects are of major importance in the financial agreement
we communicated yesterday
1. An opportunity to act on our highly ambitious acquisition
strategy
I. We start our acquisition tour with the acquisition of Cloud Explorers, a
highly successful tech-company we have worked closely with the last two years
II. With the presented financial plan we get the necessity strength to execute
on further strategic acquisitions without any additional rights issues
III. By strengthening our balance sheet, we also become more interesting for
major actors to cooperate and engage with in many ways
2. Strong funding secured
I. Having the continued support from existing major shareholder and new
professional investors investing in us secures our ability to accomplish our
strategy and commitment of growth
3. One company - tremendous resources, talent and
opportunities
I. Becoming one with our associated company we finally have the opportunity to
work with their many existing clients and broaden the services provided
II. SpectrumOne is profoundly strengthened with the offerings we can add to it
from Cloud Explorers services, hence increasing revenue streams
III. Synergies coming from the acquisition will directly affect our financials
positively from day one - reduced developing costs and increased revenue
IV. By becoming one company we can also allocate all of our resources to further
develop SpectrumOne into a service for the future were technologies such as
machine learning and AI-modules can become an integrated part of the platform
Our ambitions
This is indeed a very important crossroad for our company. A couple of years ago
The Economist published an article "The world's most valuable resource is no
longer oil, but data". The article emphasizes that today's world has made data
abundant, ubiquitous and far more valuable than any other resource on the
planet. It states that ".collecting more data, a firm has more scope to improve
its products, which attracts more users, generating even more data, and so on."
Our contribution to this era of data is making it possible to act on the
resource most companies collect. We provide our customers with a unique tool
giving them easy yet unprecedented ability to work with and visualize their
data. This enables our customers to get a precise view of their customer
behaviors and drive smart decisions based on insights and powerful analyzes.
I have no doubt we are right on target and in precisely the right place to make
all of the above reality. We have begun a journey on which we have now taken our
first fundamental steps. I am looking forward to you joining us in the very
exciting times ahead of us.
