JOAKIM NYDEMARK, CEO, COMMENTS:
“The fourth quarter (Q4) of 2023 was characterized by intensive customer targeting and sales activities, as well as further strengthening of the group executive team, which combine to create the conditions for an exciting 2024. We are particularly pleased to report a positive operating profit before depreciation (EBITDA) for Q4, and that our visitor management system – YOUNiQ Visit (EastCoast Visit) – had its best quarter so far in terms of sales, which means that we continue to increase our annual recurring revenue (ARR). We have also made continued progress in the automotive industry in collaboration with Infineon Technologies and have won several new projects in the Biometric Technologies (formerly Algo) business area. The fact that we end the year with a Q4 result that indicates growth is particularly positive, and something we see as an indication of a favorable turnaround in the market.”
