Oslo, February 24, 2021: Mercell Holding ASA (Mercell) reports 44% growth in
Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) to NOK 793 million at the end of 2021, combining
18% organic growth and acquisitions.
Revenue increased by 83% to NOK 199 million in the fourth quarter. Reported
EBITDA was NOK 59.7 million, including special items with a net positive effect
of NOK 24.3 million. Adjusted EBITDA was hence NOK 35.5 million, with an
adjusted EBITDA margin of 18%.
In the current market environment Mercell is putting the M&A strategy on hold
and will rather deploy its resources to enable continued strong and profitable
growth in the existing business.
-Our focus is on profitable organic growth in our five core markets in Norway,
Sweden, Denmark, Finland, and the Netherlands. We will be working to bring both
existing and new customers onto a new and common product platform and expect
this to both save costs and generate new revenue opportunities. We see the
potential to more than double ARR in our existing businesses from 2020 to 2025,
says CEO Terje Wibe in Mercell.
Revenue for the full year 2021 more than doubled to NOK 706 million, with
reported EBITDA of NOK 105.0 million. Adjusted EBITDA was NOK 172.9 million, and
the adjusted EBITDA-margin improved from 22% in 2020 to 24% in 2021.

improving margins in 2022, and solid free cash flow from 2022 onwards, says CEO
Terje Wibe in Mercell.
