Report this content

Oslo, Norway, May 4, 2023 - Pexip Holding ASA ("Pexip" or "The Company", Oslo Børs Ticker: PEXIP), today presented its quarterly results for the first quarter of 2023, showing revenue of NOK 260.6 million and an EBITDA of NOK 35.1 million.

“We entered Q1 2023 with a leaner, more focused organization. Pexip’s top priority has been on focusing on our target markets and increasing our technology differentiators in those. This makes us a relevant partner to several large technology players in our space, and our new strategic partnership with Poly is a testament to that.” said Trond K. Johannessen, Pexip CEO.

Q1 development continues to provide momentum to reach the financial targets set for 2023. Within Secure Spaces there was a USD 0.6 million growth in Q1 and significant renewals in the quarter have gone well. The FedRAMP authorization further strengthens Pexip’s existing security accreditation and authorization posture, and provides confidence in the targeted growth within secure, customized solutions. Within interoperability and infrastructure solutions, the strategic partnerships with both Microsoft and Poly show that Pexip’s focused approach in key markets make Pexip an attractive partner in the industry. The new organization and improved cost base provide further support in the Company targets and Pexip reiterates the 2023 targets of cash flow positive operations and an EBITDA of NOK 100- 150 million for the whole year.
