Ending 2023 with a solid Q4 - optimistic about 2024
During the first half of 2023, Konsolidator was challenged by unforeseen high staff turnover among sales representatives and the need to raise capital. Konsolidator secured capital, totaling gross proceeds of DKK 34 million and ended the year on a high note with a sales conversation rate of 25% in Q4 2023 and new growth opportunities evolving.
Annual recurring revenue (ARR) in 2023 amounted to DKK 19.4m, just below expectations of an ARR between DKK 20-21m. Revenue amounted to DKK 19.2m in 2023, an increase of 15% and within the expectations of DKK 19-21m. With the capital increase in June 2023 the equity is positive with DKK 1.3m. The positive development in Q4 2023 is expected to continue in 2024, and Konsolidator maintains its 2024 guidance with ARR of DKK 24-28m at the end of 2024.
"With the capital raise, a realigned strategy, a good Q4 2023, and many new growth opportunities we
are ready to take on 2024. We have left the hard times behind and with the positive energy in the office, we believe we have a strong foundation to succeed in 2024" says CEO Claus Finderup Grove.
CEO Claus Finderup Grove continues: Konsolidator is built on proper accounting and simplicity creating value every day for our customers and with a growth potential to be unfolded in new business segments, new markets and possible acquisitions. We have assessed new strategic opportunities in Q4 2023 and in the beginning of 2024 and are ready to follow through and raise the needed capital if required."
