Outlook 2022

· We reached our revised full-year revenue outlook for 2022 of M.SEK 190-250 with full-year revenue of M.SEK 198
· We did not meet the revised outlook for the EBIT margin of -90% to -70%, with an EBIT margin of -117%. Primarily due to the customer’s withdrawal of the performance guarantees, which increased costs.

Outlook 2023

· We expect to generate M.SEK 250-290 in revenue, including Third-Party low margin revenue
· We expect the EBIT to be -25% to -15%


CFO & Interim CEO, Troels Dalsgaard, said: “Due to the cancellation of a large commercial project in the third quarter, 2022 became a very challenging year for GomSpace. However, corrective actions have been taken based on a well-defined road map for fast recovery.

From a financial perspective, short-term financing has been secured with a credit facility from the European Investment Bank as well as a convertible loan agreement. Furthermore, a significant reduction of the organization has taken place with effect from the end of January 2023 in order to match the current activity level.

As earlier communicated, it is the intention to raise capital through a rights issue in Q1 2023 to improve GomSpace’s capital structure and strengthen future financial robustness. “
