Risk Intelligence A/S obtains funding and forecasts positive cashflow from operations in Q4 2023

Risk Intelligence A/S (“Risk Intelligence” or "the Company") has secured a loan-based funding package to provide capital for its strategy initiatives and expects positive cashflow from operations in Q4 2023.

Cashflow from operations positive in Q4 2023

With the 2025 Strategy launched in 2022 Risk Intelligence is on a growth journey that will lead to increased topline, positive cashflow from operations and profitability.

 

Due to the implementation of the new income recognition model, that leads to a time-lag in revenue recognition, the reported financial figures may not meet the growth targets outlined in the strategy, particularly in terms of reported topline growth. However, as demonstrated in Q1, the reported revenue growth of 17% falls significantly short of the actual (invoiced) revenue growth of 43% compared to Q1 2022. 

 

Based on the current revenue performance during Q1 and Q2, and 66% of the annually invoiced revenue being generated in the second half of the year due to a large part of renewals falling in Q3 and Q4, it is expected that cashflow from operations will become positive by Q4 2023.

 

Given that the operational cost structure will only increase moderately during 2024, cashflow from operations will continue to be positive throughout 2024, leading to a net positive cashflow for the entire year.

 

Funding package

From the end of May until today, the Company has successfully obtained DKK 2.5M in funding through loans from private investors and lenders, as part of the DKK 6M loan facility announced in the 2022 Annual Report. These lenders are existing shareholders in Risk Intelligence and the loan terms have been agreed upon using ‘arm's length’ principles. The loan package is a component of a more comprehensive funding plan aimed at financing the strategic initiatives required to achieve the objectives outlined in the 2025 Strategy, and they complement the two directed share issues that were conducted earlier in the year.

 

Hans Tino Hansen, CEO of Risk Intelligence says:

“The forecast of positive cashflow from operations by Q4 is a milestone that we have been looking very much forward to, and it will significantly alter our liquidity and need for funding for the remainder of the 2025 Strategy. Going forward we will only see moderate increases in operational costs, while revenue will continue to grow at a higher growth ratio. Based on known and budgeted cost levels, confirmed revenue and existing recurring revenue in second half of the year, we have a relatively high confidence in our forecast.”
