Copenhagen, Denmark - The Annual Report covering results from 1 January - 31 December 2022 has been audited and approved by the Executive Management and the Board of Directors.
2022 was the Company's first year as a listed company and the management team starting the year focusing on executing on set growth targets and on the Company's ambitions to launch new international markets. Movinn have added 98 units in existing domestic markets, which is approximately 40 apartments more than the guided target, and two new international markets in Sweden with a combined unit number of 44. The Company have realized 73.3 mDKK in revenues (56.3 mDKK in 2021), which correspondsa to a 30% increase in revenue and in the high end of the full year guidance.

The Company has realized an EBITDA of 9 mDKK from the Danish operations (6 mDKK in 2021). This a below the full year guidance of 10-12 mDKK. The Swedish subsidiary is carrying an expected operational loss taking the total Group level EBITDA from operations down to 7 mDKK. Start up costs in Sweden and Germany is taking our our total retained earnings to a negative. Going into the year, the company expected to display profitability across the group.
After the year's end, the Company continue to focus on short term consolidation, cost control and a transition towards generating free cash flows while continueing to plan for long term growth. The Company have adjusted their sourcing strategy, focusing on fewer, but larger projects in stead of adding stepwise smaller increments of new units throughout the year. This is expected to be a more efficient and profitable way to grow.

CEO, Patrick Blok states:
"We entered the year extremely eager to prove to the market that we could deliver on domestic growth targets and on the promised international launches. We have added 142 new units in total, which substantially more than was expected, and we launched two new international markets in Sweden. These achievements are significant and - in my opinion - an important indicator of our long term potential. I have also spent a lot of time in Germany laying the foundation on a commercial launch. Germany is by far the most important market in mainland Europe with maybe ten different markets with massive potential, so Germany is important to us. In general, we were thrown a bit off by the inflationary pressure and we tried to chase the costs throughout the year, not being able to shake if off us completely. The cost pressure and the steep growth have been impacting our margins, meaning we have delivered revenues in the high end of our expectations, but did not deliver on expectations to our bottom line. So overall I am not happy, but we have gained valuable insights throughout the year and made adjustments going forward to stay efficient while we continue to plan for long term growth. Looking to the world around us, we are not totally joyous, to be honest, with the macro-economic climate still challenged by war, rising interest rates and inflation. But we will monitor demand closely and stay on our path - albeit in a more controlled manner".
