LINK Mobility (LINK) reports revenue of NOK 1,652 million, growing 40% in the
second quarter of 2023 with continued strong FX tailwind. Organic revenue growth
in fixed currency was 23%. Gross profit and adjusted EBITDA were reported at NOK
410 million and NOK 191 million respectively, with organic growth in fixed
currency of 15% and 32%. The US business continued its strong performance
despite no critical events messaging in the quarter. Europe improved with better
retail volumes YoY and opex reductions delivered as planned. Strong free cash
flow generation in the quarter of NOK 129 million supported leverage declining
further to 4.0x. LINK reiterates its forward-looking statement for 2023 for an
organic adjusted EBITDA growth of 12-15% in fixed currency.
LINK continued to experience strong momentum in the US with high growth in
messaging solutions from both new and existing clients. There were as expected
no critical events messaging in the second quarter, as it is a seasonal business
related to winter storms in Q1 and mainly droughts and hurricanes in H2.
In Europe, the enterprise segments experienced higher growth with improved
retail activity YoY and increased contribution from a higher contract backlog.
Execution on both commercial initiatives and cost reductions supported improved
profitability. The cost initiatives announced last year have now effectively
been completed with an annualized FCF effect of more than NOK 100 million.
"We are happy to see continued growth momentum in the US and improved activity
in Europe from a higher contract backlog driven by commercial initiatives.
Combined with successful execution on cost initiatives, a strong free cash flow
reduced leverage further. Our first half performance provides increased
confidence in delivering on full year expectations", says Thomas Berge, CEO of
LINK.
