Elliptic Labs — Q1 2024: Entering 2024 with strong momentum
Elliptic Labs reports Revenues from contracts with customers of NOK 22.2 million in Q1 2024, an increase from NOK 4.0 million in the first quarter of last year. The first quarter historically represents the weakest quarter of the year for the company, the strong result and current revenue momentum stems from the strategic, technical, and commercial position built over the last year.
Elliptic Labs has launched its AI Virtual Smart Sensor Platform on 24 new smartphone models and 13 new laptop models so far in 2024, and the platform has been deployed on 120 smartphone models and 31 laptop models in total. By defining new architecture and industry standards together with key global ecosystem players and leveraging the company's global market leadership in AI Virtual Smart Sensors, Elliptic Labs is well positioned to maintain healthy growth going forward. Revenues from customer contracts totaled NOK 86 million over the last 12 months to Q1 2024, up 70% year-on-year.
Looking ahead, Elliptic Labs is focused on monetizing its existing contracts, securing new ones, and launching high-value AI Virtual Smart Sensors to sustain its growth. However, negotiating some main contracts is taking more time than anticipated. While the company remains confident that it is a question of "when" and not "if" it will fulfill its revenue ambition, Elliptic Labs is therefore redefining its NOK 500 million revenue target to a mid-term ambition rather than a 2025 goal
