Move About Group (MOV) publishes figures for Q1, 2023: Strong growth and improved earnings, Board initiates strategic review of the company

The first quarter of the year, like Q4 2022, has been characterized by major changes in the company's operations. Several public electric carpools have been closed down in all countries in order to complete the action plan the company decided after a comprehensive analysis of each individual pool's financial conditions last autumn. This means that Move About's core business is starting to represent an increasing share of revenues and thus also improved earnings.

Since the initiatives were started in Q4 2022, some 70 electric cars have left the group while sales are at a stable level compared to previous quarters in 2022, and significantly higher than Q1 2022. The result for Q1 includes an EO cost of SEK 2.4 million for the rights issue in February. Although the rights issue restored equity after Q4 2022 and the interest-bearing liabilities were reduced, the company's liquidity is strained. The Board of Directors has initiated a strategic review of operations to secure financial needs.

"The Q1 report is satisfactory as the efficiency measures we implemented during the winter are now starting to bite. This without losing sales on the top line, which is a result of our corporate business growing at the same time as our public offering has been reduced. At the same time, it is of course not satisfactory that the costs for the company's transformation have been higher than estimated. Due to the market situation, we have not been able to renegotiate all leases from 36 to 60 months duration. Combined with higher interest rates on remaining leases and high cost increases in general, I can only conclude that we have not managed to turn the company into profit yet. However, we believe that the industrial value of the company is significant and that our strategic review of the business will realize this value", says Olof Jonasson, CEO of Move About Group AB.
