Business highlights
??EBIT
In 2024, the company achieved positive EBIT of DKK 1.0M, marking a significant improvement compared to negative DKK 11.6M in 2023. This DKK 12.6M improvement was driven by enhanced unit economics and a streamlined company structure, which were key focuses for the company throughout the year. Furthermore positive one time effects impacting revenue and other external expenses (see comments to financial statement) positively were another key driver for the improvement in profitability.
Improved unit economics
The company's unit economics continued to improve in 2024.
Revenue per bike increased from DKK 483 per month to DKK 577 per month, a 20% increase, or a 14% increase when excluding one-time effects (see comments to financial statements). The contribution margin per bike increased from DKK 253 to DKK 302, corresponding to 19% growth.
The improvements can be attributed to efficient maintenance of the fleet, allowing to increase the utilization without significantly increasing the cost. Improving unit economics is a key performance driver and will continue to be a main focus for the company.
More users and rides
In 2024, the company recorded 680K users, resulting in 8.4M trips. These trips contributed to the replacement of 3.4M car and bus rides.
Continuous monitoring, data sharing and utilization, and collaboration with partners and cities played a key role in delivering a product with sustained high utilization, demonstrating the product's attractiveness and market fit.
Expansion of new operations
In 2024, the company opened its new operation in Hannover, deploying more than 1,000 bikes.
The company experienced longer selling cycles in the MaaS B2G segment, leading to the postponement of winning new tenders during 2024. However, the fleet is still expected to increase by 2,500-3,500 bikes in 2025.
In 2025, there will be an increased focus on winning new tenders to open new cities, supported by a stronger financial foundation to attract competitive financing for fleet expansion.
