Highlights:

• Strong user and catalogue growth:
  • At the end of the period in December 2020, the Group had 7m unique users per month, up 39% since June 2020. The fastest growing region was Western Africa with a 63% growth rate.
  • Mdundo had 1.4m international music tracks at the end of the period in addition to over 262k tracks uploaded directly to Mdundo.com (up 58% from 2019 to 2020). The fastest growing region was Western Africa with a 197% growth year-on-year.
• 50% growth in revenue:
  • The revenue for the financial period was DKK 1.3m. The revenue, which is primarily from advertisement, increased by 50.6% up from 863k for the same period last year.
  • EBITDA for the financial period was DKK -3.0m., which is in line with management’s expectations due to an aggressive investment in user-growth and geographical expansion, as well as investments in product development.

• Aggressive expansion of the team to foster future growth:
  • The company has grown from 12 full-time employees and 11 full-time consultants to 16 full-time employees and 17 full-time consultants within the period, the fastest growing team is the advertisement sales team in Nigeria, Tanzania and Ghana.
  • Most of the team-expansion happened in November-December 2020, and especially on sales the company expects to see an effect of this starting in Q3 and increasing in Q4.
  • The company has announced a partnership with Vodacom Tanzania on 4^th January 2021 attracting 5,000 paying beta-subscribers in December 2020.
•  Outlook:
  • Mdundo has already announced that monthly active users are expected to grow by 70-80% to eight and a half to nine million in 2021 with an additional growth of around 100% towards 2022, reaching 18m. This is still the expectation. Though, the company expects a flat or slight decline in monthly active users when Q3 report is released (compared to Q2) due to a number of tests (e.g. in regards to search engine optimization) and less marketing spend during this period.
  • The Company’s financial expectations, revenue and EBITDA, for the financial year 2020/21 are also unchanged.
