Penneo: Adjusted ARR and EBITDA outlook for 2024

Penneo adjusts ARR guidance for 2024 from 105-112M DKK to 101-106M DKK, and EBITDA from positive 5-10M DKK to positive 10-15M DKK. The adjusted ARR guidance corresponds to a year-on-year growth rate of 13%-19% compared to the previously communicated 18%-25%.

In company announcement No. 7-2024, Penneo announced ARR guidance of 105-112M DKK for 2024 and EBITDA guidance of positive 5-10M DKK. In company announcement No. 15-2024 regarding the financial report for 2024-H1 the ARR and EBITDA guidance remained unchanged.

The financial outlook for 2024 is adjusted as follows:

ARR

ARR (Annual Recurring Revenue) is expected to be in the range of 101-106M DKK at the end of 2024 (previously 105-112M DKK) corresponding to an ARR growth rate of 13%-19%. The revised guidance is explained by lower ARR expectations in the fourth quarter. The pipeline includes several large deals, but there is uncertainty as to when they will close. 

The outlook is based on currency exchange rates per end of 2023.

EBITDA

EBITDA is expected to be in the range of positive 10-15M DKK (previously positive 5-10M DKK) for the full year 2024. The improved EBITDA range is explained by a strong and continued focus on cost and efficiency reflecting our commitment to become profitable. This is despite the lower ARR expectations.
