Business update
The sales in Q1 was better than expected. The growth in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) is, however, as expected as one of RISMAs larger customers left RISMA because they were acquired. It is primarily in Sweden and Norway that sales has been higher than expected.
The reception of RISMAs new solution for sustainability reporting, CSRD, has been positive. We expect this solution to contribute significantly to growth in Q2, but the main part of the sales is expected to happen in H2 2023 and H1 2024.
RISMA is, furthermore, in the process of developing new solutions for a new IT-security framework, NIS2, and for a Norwegian regulation related to sustainability, Åpenhetsloven. We expect these solutions to contribute to growth in H2 2023 and in 2024.
RISMAs cash burn has decreased significantly. This is a result of increasing revenue related to both licenses fee and implementation services, as well as of the cost cutting initiatives initiated in H2 2022. We expect to have a positive cash flow from operation in Q4 2023 and by and large neutral or positive cash flow from operations in Denmark, Sweden and Norway in 2024.
