Freetrailer Group presents quarterly report Q2 2023-2024

The second quarter of Freetrailer's financial year 23/24 shows an increase in revenue of 42.4%. The number of rentals reached a new record of 272,441, corresponding to an increase of 34.6%. The quarterly results support a significant upward revision of the company's expectations for the year's overall performance.

Increased expectations for rentals 23/24

Momentum from the first 6 months of the year has led the company to raise its full-year rental guidance from 1,135,000 to 1,180,000. The increased guidance reflects an expected 30% growth in the number of rentals compared to the total number of rentals in the 22/23 financial year.

 

With a current rental portfolio of 4,530 units, and an adjusted expectation of an increase from +4,600 to 4,750 units during 23/24, Freetrailer aims for a 31% growth in its portfolio, emphasising the company's ability for scalable and sustainable growth.

 

Increased guidance for revenue and EBITDA 23/24

In a stock exchange announcement on 19 February 2024, Freetrailer raised its revenue and EBITDA guidance for the full financial year.

 

Freetrailer now expects revenue for 23/24 of DKK 94 - 104 million. For the financial year 22/23, Freetrailer achieved revenue of DKK 75.1 million. The updated guidance corresponds to an expected growth in revenue of 25 - 38%.

 

EBITDA is now expected to reach DKK 14 - 17 million compared to an EBITDA of DKK 8.1 million in the financial year 22/23. The new guidance corresponds to an expected growth in EBITDA of 72 - 110 %.

 

Comment from the CEO

"Following a strong first quarter of the 23/24 financial year, the second quarter was also characterised by a positive development. Our revenue has increased significantly, and the number of rentals has increased significantly, which shows solid progress. At the same time, we have improved our EBITDA, confirming our ability to grow profitably and sustainably. While several sharing economy services in the transport sector are still struggling to make a profit, Freetrailer proves once again that our concept is future-proof and scalable, while at the same time profitable," says Freetrailer Group CEO Nicolai Frisch Erichsen.
