Business Summary
The growth in ARR was improved somewhat compared to Q1 2024. In Q2-2024 new business amounted to tDKK 6.907, tDKK 1.951 with new partners and customers, and tDKK 4.957 as upsell to existing partners and customers which was at a better level than the first quarter of the year.
NRR for the quarter was at 110% compared to 111% last quarter.
Recognised revenue grew 35% from Q2 2023 to Q2 2024 and revenue on our main product, MapsIndoors grew 75% YoY. Recognised revenue is on the same level as Q1 2024 and the increase from Q4 2023 has therefore been sustained.
EBITDA before special items ended negative with tDKK 8.206 compared to negative tDKK 15.776 in Q2 2023 and negative tDKK 8.532 in Q1 2024. This is a 48% improvement YoY. Special items are related to cost for the two executives leaving the business in April as announced in Company Announcement 08 - 2024.
With the significant cost reductions carried out in previous quarters, we have shifted our focus to contain the more efficient organization and monitor costs while continuing using our technology to gain additional productivity in our organization.
During the quarter we saw some solid partner and customer expansions in the business mainly driven by the shift towards our enhanced visual capabilities with high definition and 3D maps, which has been one of our large technology investments in the past two years.
Beyond that, the main focus for the quarter was the organizational changes initiated in April, and in particular the work on reshaping how we structure and manage our demand generation and sales functions. The main purpose of this work is to build a better and more efficient sales motion, and this work will continue for the remainder of the year to achieve more repeatability and predictability in our growth, as consistent improvements in our profitability must come from the growth in ARR and revenue.

2024 guidance remains unchanged at:
- End of 2024 ARR in the range of mDKK 72 - 80 corresponding to a growth in the range of 39% - 54%.
- 2024 recognized revenues of mDKK 58-63 corresponding to 43% - 55% growth, resulting in
