* Annualised Recurring Revenue (ARR) is the value of contracted Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) revenue normalised to a one year period and excludes one time fees
** Adjusted EBITDA is the reported profit/(loss), adjusted for depreciation, amortisation, share-based payment charges and unrealised foreign currency gains/losses and non-recurring exceptional costs including impairment charges, reorganisation costs, gain on extinguishment of debt and acquisition and funding costs, gain/loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment
Commenting on the results, CEO of KRM22, Stephen Casner, said:
“Our success in the first half of the year has been driven by the five key initiatives that we defined at the start of the year. These initiatives have seen an increase in ARR, a reduction in the level of customer churn and an improvement in the underlying processes that will support KRM22’s continued growth.
There is no doubt that the Company needs to continue to improve performance to achieve profitability and produce positive cash flow. We strongly believe that if we continue to repeat the success we demonstrated in H1 2022, we have the right products, distribution, talent and sufficient capital to get there.”
