Management's review
Our targets for Q1 have been met in terms of revenue, but what excites us even more is that this growth mostly came from projects outside our main ones - like SmartLab Romania. Most of the revenue came from projects in the Republic of Moldova (thanks to our amazing team @ Shape Robotics EAST) and higher demand for our solutions in Romania from Component 15 - General Education (Recovery and Resilience Plan) funding.
While our GP% was lower in Q1 due to specific tenders and less Fable sales, we are confident that our margins will improve going forward, as we are making giant leaps in consolidating our operational excellence (better pricing conditions with vendors, smoother supply chain finance, etc.). The organizational changes that we have implemented in Q1 - appointing country managers, finalizing our rebranding, and finalizing the integration of Skriware, have created a solid foundation for our journey to DKK 1 billion.
Outlook 2024
We have finalized our '27 strategy - The Road to 1 billion. A main part of the plan is to replicate our success story form Romania and Republic of Moldova to Poland and beyond. The Polish Government has already officially launched the Recovery and Resilience Plan for Education, with clear milestones. We strongly believe that our financial and technology goals and ambitions will be achieved:
- Our financial goal is to achieve a net revenue of DKK 1 billion by 2027 at the latest, with an EBITDA margin of 12-15%.
- Our technology goal is to improve our current products to meet the challenges of the AI Revolution. We plan to be the first ed-tech company to offer AI classroom education to existing and new customers by providing a subscription-based educational intelligence assistant (E.di) that helps educators with various challenges and offers features like customized lesson plans that suit different teachers and students and increase teacher engagement.
A presentation of the Interim report Q1 shall be made available to investors.
