Message from the CEO Magnus Hultman:
"Solid quarter - Safeture delivers in line with targets"
The first quarter of 2022 was characterized by a high level of activities brought on by new opportunities as well as new tragic situations in an ever-changing world. Our extensive global partner network has been occupied and focused on helping our mutual customers with securing operations and employees in Ukraine.
Financial results in line with targets
The quarter gave us proof that our partner strategy is working well, and our partners contributed with 87 % of the increase in ARR. Among our new customers, we can count several universities and institutions in the UK and the FMCG giant Beiersdorf in Germany, the last one together with our new partner InCyTect. With new partners and good traction for our customer success team we increased ARR from our existing customers while at the same time maintaining our low churn at 0,5 %. Sales increased 33% year-on-year and our gross margin continue to improve quarter by quarter, reaching 72% in Q1. At the same time our operating expenses somewhat decrease compared last year. All in all, these improvements lead to an improvement of 2,5 MSEK on the bottom-line.
Additions to our offering
The beginning of the year is the time where we set the product development roadmap for the rest of year. It will be a very intense year since we are set to expand our SaaS offering further. An important part of being a global software provider is to a) be able to scale b) providing an open platform that adjust to customer needs c) integrations and co-operations d) improving lifetime value (LTV). With this in mind, we set the scope for our roadmap, based on data and customer insights.
We will roll out several product launches that will be groundbreaking in our market. The most important addition to our platform is to become "risk intelligence agnostic". It means that the risk intelligence in the Safeture platform is interchangeable to customer requests. The obvious benefit is that the customers can add different risk intelligence sources to the platform and thereby have a unified view that will benefit the overall risk management. As part of this we will also launch a "marketplace" in the Safeture platform where the user can access additional partner services by their fingertips. These additions emphasize the strength of our dynamic platform and enable us to facilitate our customers' day to day work and strengthen Safeture relationship with both partners and end-customers at the same time.
On a final note, we see an increased demand in the market and a higher degree of business activity which we aim to convert to business opportunities. Uncertainties related to Covid-19 are decreasing by the day and the Ukraine crisis is emphasizing the importance of having the right technology in place when the unexpected happens. With our extensive network and dynamic platform, we take pride in being able to assist in safeguarding employees even in the most challenging, rapidly changing, and unexpected circumstances.
