Letter from the CEO
We close the year 2023 with a solid performance in the fourth quarter. The underlying gross profit increased by 9% in the quarter despite having challenging comparative figures. The last quarter of the year is always the most important from a financial point view due to Black Week and Christmas sales.
Growth comes from all products and markets, and it is even more satisfactory to see that our large base of international customers grew substantially. Our international footprint with local presences in the main European markets shows again that we are one of the very few companies that can deliver performance marketing at scale for this customer base.
The underlying EBITDA reached SEK 29 M in the quarter and surpassed last year's figure with SEK 3 M. The EBITDA margin decreased to 5.1% (5.7%) in the fourth quarter and is mainly linked to increased employee costs. During the year we increase FTE to 335 (294). Compared to previous quarters we have not increased headcount in the fourth quarter since we believe to be well staffed to execute our plans for the coming year. We will continue to invest into our teams and products on reasonable terms.
I want to thank our teams for the dedication, energy and spirit they put into our business every day, our clients and partners for their trust and loyalty and all stakeholders for their ongoing support.
