Oslo, November 24, 2021: Mercell Holding ASA (Mercell) reports 134% growth in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) to NOK 792 million in the third quarter 2021, mainly driven by acquisitions. Excluding acquired ARR, the ARR increase over the past year was 21%.

Revenue increased by 142% year-on-year to NOK 189 million. Reported EBITDA was NOK 12 million including special cost items of NOK 37 million. Adjusted EBITDA was hence NOK 49 million, corresponding to an adjusted EBITDA margin of 26%.

“I am pleased to see that we have been able to revive growth in Mercell Commerce in Sweden which has picked up after our acquisition last year, and that Cloudia continues to show the growth trend we saw before we acquired the company in June” says CEO Terje Wibe. “We continue our focus in the second half of 2021 on integrating acquisitions and on development activities to create a common product platform for Mercell.”


Mercell aims for 15%-20% average annual growth in ARR in existing markets from 2020 to 2025 and a long-term EBITDA-target level of 40%+.
