Bottom line metrics are improving following a disappointing 2023 and is in line with expectations. 

The Swedish operations have surpassed their break-even B/E point, which is in line with expectations and the performance in Denmark is in line with expectations. We continue to work on improving demand in secondary domestic markets. In Sweden, we launched a fourth market in the city of Västerås. The city has a diversified presence of large swedish and international corporations and has strategic importance in the developing key client relationships in Sweden. 

The Executive Management is executing on the sales-facing technological features, which was communicated in Q3 2023 and is starting to see the positive effects of the efforts. In parallel, executive management is working with key accounts and stakeholders to strengthen our long-term strucutural position as one of the market leaders in Denmark. 
The Executive management continue to pursue growth opportunities in Sweden - mainly in existing markets for synergy puposes - but also aiming at other key Swedish cities. Executive management remain committed to launching in Germany as well, but are not pressuring through a launch until all our existing markets are strenghtened.

Patrick Blok, Movinn CEO states: 
"The quarter has developed in line with expectations, so I am happy. We still have a lot of work to do, but we can the see the positive effects of some of the initiatives we deployed in Q4. Sweden is displaying high growth figures and has a positive EBITDA, which is a great achivement i think. We also launched a new market in Sweden, showing that we are committed to the cause - and we will continue to look for the right opportunities in Sweden. In Denmark, we are building and deploying technology inhouse to strenghten our sales, with the aim of automations and structurally improving our long term value drivers. Secondary markets remain weaker-than-average on the demand side, but we are doing a lot of work internally - and I see improved market conditions in the horizon. So I am confident".
