Irisity AB (publ) has published its annual report for 2021
CEO comments 2021:
Irisity has ended an intensive year in which we continue to build the company with strong growth. In concrete figures, this means a net increase in revenue of 110% with an underlaying organic growth of 41%, an EBITDA result that turned positive after an increase of 200%, a gross margin that strengthened by 20% and an MRR that increased from SEK 1,5 to 6,6 million.
During the year, we gradually increased the business volume and roll-out rate in all customer segments of both existing and new customers and partnerships. Despite extensive piloting, we gradually strengthened the gross margin during the year.
At the end of the year, we completed the transformative acquisition of Agent Vi (consolidated from mid-October). An acquisition that has given us more execution power and synergies in all critical areas including sales, marketing, products, and R&D. The sales force has more than doubled to include a market presence in seven countries. The product portfolio is now one of the market's most complete and high-performance analysis platforms. Our development power has been expanded, which strengthens our position in the vanguard of advanced in-depth algorithm development and neural networks.
Prior to the year, the goal was to build a platform for accelerated growth as of second half of the year onwards. We can conclude that this has been fulfilled and that we are now striking increasingly large deals internationally. This is expected to have a continued positive effect on MRR and cash flow going forward. During the last quarter of the year, we also reported strong EBITDA and gross margin. The net result during the year was burdened with amortization of goodwill and intangible assets. The cash position follows plan during our strong growth phase.
We deliver cutting-edge algorithms and high-quality video analysis solutions to an ever-growing global market and expect continued strong growth both organically and through potential acquisitions.
