  • Strong operational KPIs, including a low churn rate of 5.6% and Net Retention Revenue (“NRR”) 2 of 117.1%, demonstrate the Group’s superior efficiency in cross-selling and upselling to its customer base.
  • Average annual contract value (ACV) 3 reached €17.6k in Q1 23, up 10% year-on-year (“YoY), reflecting continued growth in multi-product adoption within customers’ base fueled by recent product launches.
  • Revenues under IFRS 15 4 of €11.4 million, up 37% on the prior year period, underlining the overall Group's solid performance.
  • SaaS recurring revenues of €8.6 million, up 59%, and representing 76% of total revenues, demonstrate continued improvement in the revenue mix.
