Move About Group (MOV) publishes figures for Q1 2022: Weak start to the year but strong growth at the end of the period
In the first quarter of 2022, Move About Group AB ("Move About" or the "Company") grew by 87% compared to the first quarter of 2021. However, this growth was slightly lower than expected as the lockdowns of society at the beginning of the year had a negative effect on growth. In March, however, growth accelerated again, and revenue increased by 20% compared to February.
| SEK000 | 2022 Jan-Mar | 2021 Jan-Mar |
| Totala intäkter | 14 125 | 7 545 |
| Bruttovinst | 6 590 | 4 850 |
| EBITDA | -14 628 | -5 907 |
| EBIT | -21 478 | -8 773 |
The first quarter of the year began with perhaps the strongest lockdown of society in Europe due to Omikron which had a negative impact on mobility in all countries where the Company operates; Norway, Sweden and Germany. Above all, the electric carpools used by Move Abouts company customers were affected, but also the public pools, where the Company had many new launches of pools during the period. Move About estimates that revenue declined by about 10% in the first two months of the quarter compared to the plan.
As society reopened in March, demand picked up rapidly and revenues grew by20% from the Level in February. This strong trend looks set to continue in the second quarter of 2022.
Despite the weak start to the quarter, the company grew by 87% compared to Q1 2021, of which 79% is due to the acquisition of Mobileee e in the second half of 2021.
The result was affected, in addition to the lower occupancy of the Companys electric carpools at the start of the year, by listing costs and preparations for the listing. As an example, the consolidation of Mobileeee and the shift of financial systems contributed to significant one-off costs, totalling approximately SEK 4.0 million during the quarter.
"The company reports an adjusted result we are not satisfied with. At the same time, we can state that growth accelerated sharply again at the end of the period, a trend we see continues at the beginning of quarter 2 and revenue per car in is now increasing at a rapid pace. Along with the published streamlining program we carry out, the company will show profit significantly earlier than what was communicated in connection with the companys listing earlier this year", says the Companys CEO, Olof Jonasson
