OmniCar” or the ”Company” means the Group, namely OmniCar Holding AB (registered under company registration number 559113-3987) and its wholly owned subsidiary Omnicar A/S. Omnicar A/S, which is the Group’s operating subsidiary, started doing business in February 2016. OmniCar Holding AB was formed in May 2017 by way of a non-cash issue in which the shares in Omnicar A/S were exchanged for shares in OmniCar Holding AB, which resulted in the group relationship. The transaction was treated as a transaction between jointly controlled companies for the purpose of providing the former holders of the shares in Omnicar A/S with shares in OmniCar Holding AB on a pro rata basis and there was thus no change in the group of owners.
The consolidated financial statements thus take the form of merged financial statements, i.e. as if the Group was formed on 1 January 2017. Comparative 2016 figures for the Group refer to the Danish subsidiary OmniCar A/S. No comparative periods are available for the parent company.

CEO Claus T. Hansen has the floor
It is with great pleasure that I present our Q4 reporting which shows that everything we have forecasted has materialized and we are on track to reach an SEK 100 million annual recurrent revenue by the end of 2020.
We have been requested by our shareholders to provide the market with a more transparent picture of Omnicar's business performance. With this report, we will be presenting some of the KPIs that we use as a benchmark for our 2018 performance.
The KPIs are as follows
1. Number of dealers
2. Average length of service contracts
With this I wish to create more transparency and give our shareholders an instant view of our business progress. We will further enhance our KPI going forward to the coming financials reports.
Our business model
We have decided to change our license model going forward. Previously, we had a fixed license fee of DKK 2,495. But we have experienced that dealers who work on our platform quite fast add a significant number of service contracts with a higher average value and for a longer term than previously anticipated. As an example, we have dealers who have an average of 50 new contracts every month and we have importers who have added 1,400 service contracts within only 10 months, representing an accumulated value of SEK 11,5 million. In fact, they now sell service contracts to more than 30% of their car buyers.
New pricing
With effect from 1 March 2018, we will introduce a new pricing structure. Dealers and workshops will be able to buy our solution for only SEK 120 per month + a 5% transaction fee; meaning that the dealers will have to pay 5% of their turnover to Omnicar. We have been pre-introducing the new pricing structure for the last few weeks with great success and our dealers are attracted to this new pricing structure. Current dealers on the old pricing structure will be offered to migrate to the new pricing structure as well.
After 12 months of using Omnicars solution a dealer has in average 200 service contracts, each with an average value of SEK 300. With just 1,000 dealers that turns into a total service contract turnover of SEK 60 million every month. This results in a monthly 5% recurring revenue fee to Omnicar of SEK 3 million (yearly SEK 36 million)
KPIs as at 28 February 2018
1. Number of implemented dealers: 268
3. Average length of service contracts: 54
In addition we have a solid pipeline of dealers and workshops and we are very confident that our 2018 target will be accomplished.
Our current cash balance is more than SEK 34 million, our growth is on track and with our current cash flow we are able to make all the needed investments to secure our overall short and long term business goals.
Finally, I wish to thank all of our shareholders for your trust and commitment.
