A WORD FROM OUR CEO

 

In the fourth quarter gross profit amounted to MSEK 54.0 (50.2), an increase of 7.7 percent. In the same quarter EBIT was MSEK -5.3 (-3.6). For the full year of 2019, the group’s gross profit was MSEK 202.0 (182.9), an increase of 10.5 percent compared to 2018. EBIT was MSEK -22.9 (-13.3).

 

To summarize the outcome of the quarter and the full year of 2019 we had an organization that was set-up for a higher growth rate than we achieved. In the fourth quarter, we were also burdened by costs aiming at simplifying our organizational structure and adapting our cost base, for example by downsizing the US operations and by combining the Norwegian and the Swedish organizations.

Since I took over as CEO at the end of January this year, we have shifted focus from growth to profitability. We will, of course, continue to grow, but this will be done with profitability.

 

Action program

For some time, we have had a too large cost base in relation to our revenues. With the new shock of the Corona virus we are acting decisively and taking into consideration a changed market sentiment. As part of our adaptation, employees on probationary period have, sadly, been terminated and we have radically reduced the number of consultants. Our group management team has decided to reduce our salaries by 20 percent, in addition to the voluntary salary reduction of 10 percent that some of us took already in the beginning of 2020. Altogether, I estimate that these actions will reduce our costs by at least SEK 11 million on an annual basis, beginning in the second quarter.

I sincerely regret that we have to take these measures and at the same time I hope for understanding since conditions have changed dramatically in a short period of time. I would have preferred to keep our talented employees.

I am determined to achieve the goal that Nepa will be profitable this year. With the actions taken, I expect that we will have increased financial leeway. We are monitoring developments closely and further measures cannot be ruled out should the situation worsen.

 

Favourable conditions

As new CEO I really look forward to leading and developing this company. Being one of the larger shareholders and with extensive experience from working in the company, I know that we have fantastic conditions for both growth and profita­bility.

We have a strong market position, significant experi­ence and expertise among our talented employees, and have some of the market's best tools. Together, we will now unleash the potential in this combination, and I feel a strong support for this internally at Nepa.

Furthermore, it is important that we have the market’s confidence. Therefore, as part of a more investor-friendly approach, we will gradually increase the trans­parency of our financial reporting to make it easier to follow how we are developing. A first action is the segment reporting we are introducing, starting this quarter.

 

Outlook

Achieving growth by optimizing marketing investments is increasingly important for companies. Nepa are experts in transforming consumer data to growth generating actions for our clients and we have an important role to play. If we try to look beyond the current Corona-related concerns, Nepa has a fantastic potential to show both growth and profitability in the years to come. I look forward to leading the company to deliver our potential.

DEVELOPMENT OF THE GROUP

 

REVENUES

Gross profit increased in the fourth quarter by 7.7 percent to kSEK 53,995 (50,155), and 6.1 percent currency adjusted. Net sales increased by 12.0 percent to kSEK 70,520 (62,972), and 10.7 percent currency adjusted.

For the full year of 2019, gross profit increased by 10.5 percent to kSEK 202,021 (182,880), and 8.8 percent currency adjusted. Net sales increased by 8.9 percent to kSEK 263,061 (241,485), and 7.5 percent currency adjusted.

The strongest sales growth in 2019 was in Marketing Optimization followed by Customer Experience (CX). It was primarily the result of strong growth of our core products Ad & Media Tracker (MO) and CX Tracker (CX).

In absolute numbers, the UK showed the highest growth, increasing sales by MSEK 8.0 equivalent to 33 percent (MSEK 6.8 or 26% growth currency adjusted). That is a result of the success of our product Path to Purchase, which helps companies understand the entire consumer journey until making a purchase decision and all touchpoint affecting this, both online and offline. This also contributed to the fact that our ad hoc sales grew more than our recurring sales, since we define all Path to Purchase revenue as ad hoc, even though we are working with the same clients over year after year. This increase is positive but that does not change our long-term target of increasing recurring revenues as share of total revenues.

Detailed information about segment are found in note 2 on page 11.

Note 2: Segment reporting

 

 

Nepa’s business can be divided into three types of segments; either depending on what the revenue model looks like (revenue type), which solution the revenue stems from, or which country made the sales.

In revenue type, we separate project already sold, either through subscriptions or regular bulk purchases (recurring) and more project-based revenues (ad hoc).

Sales is also split according to the solution used. Nepa’s solutions are Marketing Optimization (MO), Customer Experience (CX), Innovation Acceleration (IA) or Other revenues.

Finally, revenue is split after country.

 


REVENUE TYPE (MSEK)
2019 Share Growth 2018 Share
Nepa Group 263.1 100% 21.6 241.5 100%
    Recurring 159.4 61% 9.6 150.0 62%

        Share of ad hoc from recurring clients 61.9 60% 12.2 49.7 54%
        Share of ad hoc from non-recurring clients 41.8 40% -0.1 41.9 46%
Sales to clients buying both recurring & ad hoc1 221.3 84% 21.6 199.7 83%
Sales to clients buying ad hoc only2 41.8 16% 0.0 41.8 17%

Sales of Recurring grew 6% to MSEK 159.4 in 2019. Ad Hoc grew 13% to MSEK 103.7 MSEK in 2019, driven by increased sales to clients that also buys Recurring solutions. The goal is to increase the share of sales of Recurring revenues in order to increase profitability.

In absolute numbers, our MO-solution grew the most in 2019 (MSEK 14.6 in gross profit). In relative numbers our CX solution grew fastest (28% gross profit growth). The goal is to increase the penetration of our solutions to current clients. It provides the benefit for clients with a complete view of their consumers and also gives the right conditions to create growth and profitability for Nepa.

Nepa combines consumer feedback data with actual behaviour data in order to transform traditional insights into financially quantifiable actions.

 

BUSINESS MODEL

Nepa’s sales strategy entails solving client specific business challenges by utilizing proprietary ready-made and scalable analytics modules that support cost effective customization.

The proprietary platform Consumer Science Platform® is sold as a combination of:

  1. A platform license for managing customer feedback with an interface that automatically enriches clients’ current IT infrastructure with behaviour data.
  2. Standardized products – Consumer Science Platform® Applications Suite.
  3. Solving client specific business challenges. 

 

 

EVENTS AFTER THE END OF THE QUARTER

 

A new top management was appointed. P-O Westerlund was appointed new CEO on January 26 and Ann-Christine Fick as new CFO and member of group management. Michael Wallin was appointed to the new role as Head of Investor relations.

In order to reduce costs, an action program has been completed, involving termination of employees under probationary period, a reduced number of consultants and a salary reduction of 20 percent on group management level.

Global lifestyle and clothing brand GANT chose Nepa as brand tracking provider in all major markets.

Towards the end of February 2020, the new Corona virus caused a dramatic change in sentiment world-wide. For Nepa it has meant that a few clients have reduced their business volume while others have postponed ad hoc projects. It is still too early to be specific about the full effects. However, with the cost cutting measures that has been taken and the company’s stable base of recurring business, these challenges should be manageable.
