Regulatory News:
A successful fiscal year 2021/2022 (July 2021 to June 2022) is
reported by beaconsmind AG (ISIN: CH0451123589 – Ticker: MLBMD), a
leading SaaS provider in the field of location-based marketing
(LBM) & analytics. The company continued its dynamic growth
course during the reporting period and successfully entered new
markets. Furthermore, beaconsmind was able to expand existing
cooperations with companies and gain numerous large companies as
customers. The good operational business development was,
therefore, also reflected by the key financial ratios
2021/2022.
beaconsmind has prepared consolidated financial statements in
accordance with the IFRS accounting standard for the first time for
fiscal 2021/2022 and will also report for the first time its key
financial figures in euros in addition to the Swiss franc. In
accordance with IFRS, sales revenues increased significantly by
249.54 percent from CHF 0.57 million to CHF 1.99 million. Annual
recurring revenues (ARR) of the beaconsmind Suite software made up
around 90 percent of total sales revenues. Services, hardware and
installation revenues accounted for the remaining 10 percent.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation
(EBITDA) improved from CHF -4.51 million to CHF -2.25 million. The
gross profit margin was 90.13 percent (prior year: 93.88 percent).
The equity ratio was at 62.56 percent after a previous 37.54
percent.
The highlights of fiscal 2021/2022 included the company's
successful IPO in the Scale market segment of the Frankfurt Stock
Exchange in April 2022. In addition to the listing in Scale,
beaconsmind's shares can also be traded on the electronic stock
exchange Xetra. By listing its shares on the Frankfurt Stock
Exchange and Xetra, beaconsmind has positioned itself even more
broadly on the capital market and significantly increased its
visibility among international investors.
During the reporting period, the BFL Group, a leading
international discounter from the United Arab Emirates (UAE), was
one of the companies which decided to deploy the beaconsmind
solution in its stores. By using the beaconsmind Suite software,
the BFL Group has new interaction and communication channels at its
disposal, with which customers can be provided with tailor-made
offers. Other new customers between July 2021 and June 2022 include
the Czech fashion chain Prodes, the fitness chain UFC Gym, the
Italian jewellery retailer Nove 25 and the fashion retailer
Maison-B-More from the UAE.
During the second half of 2022, which corresponds to the short
fiscal year 2022/2023, beaconsmind successfully continued its
business development. Between July and December 2022, beaconsmind
was able to win a leading global pizza chain and the Kamal Osman
Jamjoom Group, a leading multi-channel retailer in the Middle East,
among others, as new customers. In addition, an extensive
cooperation was concluded with the Business Incubators and
Accelerators Company (BIAC), a subsidiary of TAQNIA, which in turn
is fully owned by the Public Investment Fund (PIF) of Saudi Arabia.
beaconsmind's LBM solutions are now deployed in nearly 400 stores
at more than 25 customers in over 40 countries.
In November 2022, a majority stake was acquired in FREDERIX
Hotspot GmbH, a provider of cloud wifi solutions for businesses and
a developer of intelligent, cloud-based wifi hotspot technologies.
With the acquisition of FREDERIX, beaconsmind expands its business
model as a B2B point-of-sales solution provider and extends into
the adjacent hotspot sector.
The start to the current fiscal year 2023 was very good.
beaconsmind successfully continued its international expansion
course and secured one of the fastest growing coffee house chains
as a new customer in the growth region of India, among other
things. In addition, beaconsmind continued to expand its business
activities in 2023 in line with its strategy and strengthened its
position as a B2B point-of-sales solution provider with the
acquisitions of Ingenieurbüro Netopsie and Socialwave GmbH.
2023 will be beaconsmind's first fiscal year, which will then
correspond to the respective calendar year. The alignment of the
fiscal year with the calendar year is accompanied by
simplifications in accounting as well as better comparability with
key performance indicators. beaconsmind has had a solid financial
position in the reporting period with cash and cash equivalents of
CHF 2.97 million. With its innovative LBM technology, beaconsmind
and its subsidiaries FREDERIX, Netopsie and Socialwave are
excellently positioned in the market for further growth. In 2023,
the rollout is planned in a further 1,500+ stores worldwide. For
fiscal 2023, beaconsmind expects to increase its revenues to around
EUR 10.9 million and reach break-even at the end of the year.
EBITDA is anticipated to reach a mark from EUR +2.7 million to +2.9
million.
Max Weiland, CEO of beaconsmind: "Although we had set ourselves
higher sales revenue and roll-out targets, we can be satisfied with
our development in fiscal 2021/2022. The global demand for our LBM
solutions continues to grow and at the same time we have entered
into trail-blazing cooperations with growth drivers in the retail
sector. With the acquisitions of FREDERIX, Netopsie and Socialwave,
we have significantly expanded our business activities and can
offer our customers further innovative solutions from a single
source. This should lead to a further growth boost, so that we are
optimistic about the future and expect to continue our dynamic
development in 2023."
