Events
- In September, we signed a contract with Unseenlabs to deliver six more satellites. The total contract value is M.SEK 43, including the authorization to proceed contract valued at M.SEK 11. The expected delivery of the satellites is in the second half of 2023.
- In October, we suspended all work on a large customer project due to unpaid invoices. The financial exposure amounts to M.SEK 57, of which M.SEK 39 is unpaid invoices, and M.SEK 18 is work-in-progress not yet invoiced.
- In November, we entered a credit facility with the European Investment Bank of M.SEK 198, paid out in three tranches.
- In November, we entered a convertible loan agreement of SEK 53.6 million, and the board of directors intends to resolve a rights issue of between SEK 100 to 125 million.
“In the third quarter, the order intake was M.SEK 53, and the most significant order was additional six satellites to our valued customer Unseenlabs.
Revenue was only M.SEK 18, primarily due to the suspension of a large commercial customer project. The suspension directly impacts earnings with M.SEK 57 and our financials are indirectly impacted by the suspension, where other projects have to carry spillover effects with increased costs as well as leading to impairment of specific development projects we now do not intend to finalize.
We maintain our full-year 2022 guidance of revenue M.SEK 190 to 250.
In November, we strengthened our financial position with a growth credit facility of M.SEK 198 from the European Investment Bank. Furthermore, we have entered into a convertible loan agreement of M.SEK 53.6. The Board of Directors intends to resolve a rights issue of approximately M.SEK 100 to 125 in the first quarter of 2023 with the intention to convert the loan amount of M.SEK 53.6 into new shares” CEO Niels Buus commented.
