Comment from the CEO
"In the first quarter of the financial year 2024/2025, Freetrailer achieved a revenue of DKK 33.2 million as a result of 422,683 rentals in the quarter, corresponding to an increase in rental activity of 32.8%.
The strong first quarter result is in line with our expectations for the financial year and we therefore maintain our guidance for revenue and EBITDA for the financial year.
I am pleased that the growth in our first quarter is based on the development of existing partnerships and the establishment of new partners through our continued international expansion.
Our investment in raising the profile of Freetrailer is bearing fruit. Over the past 12 months, we have increased the number of partners from 120 to 166, representing a growth of more than 38.8%.
The roll-out plan in the Netherlands is progressing as expected and we look forward to launching the first trailers on the market in the first quarter of 2025. ", states CEO at Freetrailer, Nicolai Frisch Erichsen.
