Company Announcement nr. 20 - 2022
4 November 2022 08.00 CET. 
This company announcement contains inside information. 

Copenhagen, Denmark - The Interim Report covers results from the third quarter (Q3) of the year (1 July - 30 September 2022), as approved by Executive Management and the Board of Directors. 

In Q3 Movinn has realized revenue of 19.44 mDKK - up from 15.1 mDKK in the same period last year - corresponding to a 29% revenue increase. Growth is driven by stable demand and the ongoing growth in our unit portfolio.

As we have now launched in Sweden, we will be reporting on additional financial information on international markets going forward. The financial information concerning the existing danish operations will be reported seperately and consolidated figures containing information on international markets will be reported as consolidated figures. We have also isolated the numbers for 9M / YTD to offer additional transparency to the market. 

Realized EBITDA from existing danish operations was 2.86 mDKK corresponding to an EBITDA-margin of 14.8%. Realized EBIT was 1.27 mDKK corresponding to a 6.6% EBIT-margin. Annualized Return On Invested Capital (ROIC) was 16.0% for the existing danish operations. The same numbers for the consolidated group was 12.4% (EBITDA), 4.2% (EBIT) and 6.0% (ROIC). The consolidated figures is carrying start up cost in the swedish market which has been taking in at a loss on the P/L. 
Bottom line metrics are less than the comparable period last year. This is due to a) steeper growth is tearing on bottom line metrics, b) listing costs was not present last year and c) international expansions carries costs and deterioation of working capital. 

In Q3 we have added 32 new units across all markets taking our YTD total to 115 new units. Out of the 115 new units, 71 have been launched in Denmark (60-65 being the guided EOY total), meaning we are ahead of our growth curve. We have another 25 units in the Pipeline for Q4, meaning we will reach 140 new units EOY. This is 146% above the guided target from the annual report, meaning we once again revising our Guidance upwards on unit numbers. Because the growth is happening late in the year, the financial impact on the current fiscal year will be limited. However, the high unit number expected to give us an improved starting point going into 2023. 

We remain satisfied with balancing a revenue growth in the high double digits (29%) with continued improvement on fundamenls (14.8% EBITDA, 16% ROIC). We expect to use Q1 and Q2 2023 on optimizing on our existing portfolio. This exercise is expected to generate continued improvement on metrics (with respects to seasonality) and relatively attractive free cash flows. 

The Executive Management is executing on the international expansion plan. In Q3, we have launched a second international market in Lund, Sweden. This means we are covering two key markets in South Sweden. Gothenburg, Stockholm and key cities in Germany is our next focus.

  • EBITDA margin from danish operations of 14.8% (16.1%)

We are units domestically faster than expected, we have added a second new international market in Lund, Sweden, and we have made all the preparations for a launch in Germany. So we are executing on our strategy accordin to plan and in line with expectations.
