Message from the CEO Magnus Hultman

“Safeture keeps momentum and continues to deliver in line with targets”

The second quarter of 2022 was yet another quarter with continued macro turbulence, from the stock markets rocking to the disheartening developments in Ukraine. Nevertheless, the everyday challenges of having staff working from home and spread out all over the world for globally operating companies, can be difficult enough. A strategic risk management tool can be a way to deal with increased uncertainty in the work and everyday life.

Delivery in line with targets

Our expectations for the second quarter were lower than normal due to the situation in Ukraine, which has kept our global partner network occupied with emergency evacuations assistance services. With the quarter to an end, we realized a revenue increase with 34 %, reaching 8,9 MSEK. The ARR increased to 37,3 MSEK, representing an increase of 29% compared to the same quarter last year. The bottom-line result improved from -5,6 MSEK (-85%) same quarter last year to -4,3 MSEK (-48%), which is in line with the plan to bring the company to profitability. Increased sales, together with continued improvements in our gross margin and expense control are the main drivers behind the decreasing loss. As communicated before we expect the result to gradually improve as sales increases while our cost structure is expected to remain stable. 

Keeping momentum

Noteworthy new partners and customers for the quarter were French market leader and security provider Amarante and the Finnish defense industry company Patria. Safeture also won the competitive bid for Innovasjon Norge, in Norway. During the quarter, we also extended agreements with Audible in the US and managed to upsell on existing accounts, such as our long-term customer and the world´s largest insurance company, Chubb. In the second quarter we also promoted sales manager, Filip Bengtsson, to become the new Chief Revenue Officer (CRO) in the company.

Additions to offering

From a platform perspective we have rolled out two product launches in the second quarter. Earlier we have communicated the importance of the platform to become “risk intelligence agnostic”, and during the second quarter we launched the functionality of adding different risk intelligence sources to the platform. The new functionality emphasizes the strength of our dynamic platform and enable us to facilitate our customers’ day to day work. The second release was to increase usability, by creating a partner dashboard, where our partners efficiently can manage all their clients in one view. The new dashboard has already received a lot of appreciation from our partners and throughout the remainder of the year several launches to further strengthen our partner positioning will be released. 

On the road again

We are entering the third quarter with a good feeling. We anticipate a slower start in the quarter, but the pace will pick up again in September when the trade fair season starts. Mid-September, Safeture will participate in the world´s largest security event, Global Security Exchange (GSX) in Atlanta, USA. By traveling and participating in industry events, we can truly interact with our customers and partners. We are very much looking forward to taking the Safeture solution on the road again.
