Highlights Q3 2023

•         Due to a later market introduction and rollout in India with Ven V2 through Earkart and their channels compared to earlier expectations, follow-on orders did not materialize in Q3. Coupled with the ongoing effort to localize and prepare products for introduction in Japan and China later in the year, sales revenue recognized in Q3 was only TDKK 8.

•         Dialogue ensuing with Earkart on revising commercial agreement terms and the remaining part of Audientes receivables, aiming at addressing an acceleration of the Indian market development. 

•         The Chinese distributor and investor Shenzhen Hengtong Partner Company Ltd placed an initial pre-paid product order for TDKK 562 for Companion products to be delivered in late 2023, subject to local GTM readiness.

•         Our advanced hearable product, Companion by Audientes, was launched in Japan today on November 9, 2023 in Tokyo, and will initially be available in distribution with TD SYNNEX retailers later in 2023 and subsequently also in online distribution channels.

•         Cost saving initiatives executed earlier in the year around staff cost and external costs in general have started to have a positive impact on EBITDA.

•         Agreement with existing bridge-lenders to refinance existing bridge loans with convertible loans of DKK 5.85 million with no interest and no installments due until the loans are maturing end of September 2024; loans may be partially of fully converted at certain times in the year.

•         An interest-bearing short-term bridge loan of TDKK 780 including accrued interest and a debt of TDKK 50, in total TDKK 830 were converted into equity and new shares issued.

 

Highlights after Q3 2023

•         Completion of a directed issue of DKK 0.9 million and a conversion of debt of DKK 0.1 million, a total of DKK 1 million.
