Comment from CEO Jørn Larsen:
”2023 was a challenging year for Trifork and our industry colleagues. Despite a slower business environment, I am happy to see that we maintained double-digit revenue growth with good profitability. There are still plenty of growth opportunities for an innovative company like Trifork in the current state of the market. That is why we invested in business development throughout the year, even though this reduced our margins on Build revenue. Our 72 business units have increased their outreach, leading to more active engagements with new customers. At the same time, our business units continued pursuing the strategy of becoming an even closer innovation partner to our existing and loyal customers. In the coming years, our customers will need to continuously improve their offering with technology and data insights, reduce their costs and environmental footprint, and comply with new data and cybersecurity regulations. I believe our strong capabilities across the technology landscape – from design- and ERP-optimized mobile applications to AI and security operations – will take us further in 2024. That is also why we expect our profitable growth journey to continue.”

Financial outlook for 2024

Revenue is expected to be in the range of EURm 230-240 equal to 10.6-15.4% growth
Organic revenue growth is expected in the range of 9.7-14.5%
Adjusted EBITDA in Trifork Segment is expected in the range of EURm 38.0-42.0
EBIT in Trifork Group is expected to be in the range of EURm 21.5-25.5.

Mid-term financial targets

The mid-term financial targets (average over a rolling three-year period) remain unchanged:

15-25% annual Group revenue growth
10-15% annual Group organic revenue growth
Improving Trifork Segment adjusted EBITDA margin and Group EBIT margin
Net interest-bearing debt leverage of up to 1.5x Group adj. EBITDA (may temporarily exceed)

Main events in2023

Inspire
As of 31 December 2023, Trifork’s Inspire sub-segment reached more than 62 million total views through the GOTO YouTube and Instagram channels, and 5,800 people attended our in-person conferences around Europe, in Australia and USA. We used more energy and resources in kickstarting in-person conferences again after Covid-19 effects had subsided. However, it turned out to be a difficult job as many companies limited or postponed their investments in sponsorships and education of their employees in light of an uncertain business environment. Hence, Inspire revenue did not increase enough to compensate for the cost of the increased activities which led to an EBITDA loss. During 2023, we had to rethink and re-organize our conference staff and the way we approach conferences in general.
Build
Trifork’s Build sub-segment, where we develop innovative software solutions for customers, grew revenue by 7.0%. This was driven by good demand in Digital Health, which grew 29.0%, and where Trifork delivered the platform and patient app to Compassana in Switzerland, as one of many customer engagements. Demand was also good in Smart Building (16.8% growth) and Smart Enterprise (13.9% growth).
In 2023, 68% of the total revenue in Build came from strategic customers that have conducted business with Trifork for at least two years.
Run
Trifork’s Run sub-segment, where we operate and maintain internally or externally developed products for our customers, grew by 32.1% of which 19.2%-points were organic. Run-based revenue now accounts for 24.6% of total revenue. Demand was strong in Cloud Operations throughout the year. The vast majority of Run-based revenue is recurring and comes from sales of Trifork’s own products and related services.
Trifork Labs
Trifork Labs, the investment arm of Trifork Group that invests in strategic partnerships and uses venture-financing to grow some of our internally developed products, made new investments in Bluespace Ventures AG (Swiss digital health customer) and Ossmo ApS (adoption management) in 2023. Existing investments were increased in &Money ApS, Arkyn Studios Ltd., ExSeed Health Ltd., Upcycling Forum ApS, and Visikon ApS.
