“Q3 is typically a strong quarter for Pexip in the public and federal sectors and this year was no exception. The Company saw continued interest from key public sector institutions looking for secure solutions for mission-critical communication requiring strict privacy and security. In addition, Pexip’s unique interoperability capabilities remains a key selling point for many large organizations. This, together with Pexip’s unique self-hosted deployment option, is winning the trust of complex organizations such as The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) in the United States. This success is something that we are replicating with other similar customers across the world,” said CFO and Interim CEO, Øystein Hem, and continues:
“We have over time seen a strong pipeline, and we are very happy to see this being translated into increased ARR growth in Q3 compared with previous quarters. The outlook is positive for the remainder of 2021 as well, and we are on track to reach our ARR target of USD 300 million by 2024.”
