Bambuser’s resilient stance: Solid performance and disciplined cost measures prevail in challenging climate
Bambuser reports a Q4 2023 ARR of SEK 107.2 million, representing a quarter over quarter decline of 7% at constant exchange rates (“CER”). The Adjusted EBITDA was SEK -27.8 million, in line with implemented cost enhancements. The last twelve-month free cash flow improved with SEK 37.1 million year over year. The cash balance closed at SEK 272.1 million, which is sufficient to take Bambuser to positive cash flow.
In a strategic move, Bambuser divested its influencer marketing business, Relatable, during the quarter. This transaction, while resulting in a non-cash loss of SEK 85.5 million, had a positive impact on cash flow, contributing SEK 12.7 million.
Bambuser signed several new contracts with enterprise customers in the quarter, including Belkin (consumer electronics), Auto Mercado (supermarket chain based in Costa Rica), and HiFi Klubben (retailer of high-quality audio and visual equipment). The Company further renewed and expanded its partnership with the Matas (leading Danish health and beauty retail chain).
