• In 2022, we expect EBIT margin to be better than -15%. Earnings next year will be impacted by increased investments in product development of standard products, which will improve margins in future projects.

Events

• In November 2021, we signed a contract with Politecnico di Milano valued at M.SEK 5.8 to support the H.E.R.M.E.S. mission with products
• In December 2021, we signed a contract with Unseen Labs valued at M.SEK 8 to establish the next-generation satellite platform

• In December 2021, we signed a contract with ESA valued at M.EUR 24 to implement ESA SCOUT-1 mission for climate observation (CubeMAP)

"In the fourth quarter, the order intake was impressive M.SEK 287. As we communicated in the third quarter, we now have an even more robust and diversified order backlog with a value of M.SEK 540.

Revenue increased to M.SEK 81 compared to M.SEK 72 last year. We almost reached our full-year revenue guidance of M.SEK 215-235, with full-year revenue of MSEK 214.

In the quarter, we improved cash flow from primary operating activities with M.SEK 40 through improved working capital and operational performance.

We have concluded our second consecutive year with positive cash flow from operating activities. Even though the year started with a headwind due to the global shortage of components, we have improved our profitability and ended the fourth quarter with positive operating profit.

To improve our profitability, we continuously focus on decreasing non-recurrent engineering and increasing the R&D investment level and strive to reach GomSpace's full operating and financial potential, with a higher degree of product content in our revenue stream.
When we have fully productized, we will increase margin and scalability." CEO Niels Buus commented.
