CEO, Patrick Blok states:
"A busy year in many ways. We did a lot of things right, but it is of course overshadowed by our missed financial targets that we set going into the year. We had increased our cost base and staff with an expectation to continue the momentum from 2022, but were then hit by shifts in demand in secondary domestic markets. Since early Q4, we have been focusing on re-developing our sales efforts through a comprehensive tech build designed to increase automations, increase velocity of sales, improve quality and user experience. These features will be deployed ongoingly in Q1 and Q2 to better utilize existing capacity and deliver improved unit metrics. When we have our fundamental performance back on track - and looking stronger than ever - we will pivot towards building the pipeline and forming the partnerships needed to deliver on long term value drivers, but in the short run, we stay focused. I am painfully aware that I have disappointed our shareholders this year. I of course know what we can do - and what we are currently doing - which is why we are also guiding towards an optimistic outlook".
