Oslo, 28 February: Infront ASA (INFRNT) today announced its interim results for Q4 2019. Q4 2019 operating revenue was EUR 28.5 million (EUR 7.3 million), an increase of 289% from the same quarter last year, driven mainly by the inclusion of vwd Group, full effect of Infront Italia and stable development across the group.

“We have made good progress with the integration of vwd Group focused on leveraging our combined offering to reach more customers with a stronger product portfolio and attaining cost synergies. Going into 2020, we grown our base of professional users more than five-fold during 2019 and expanded into new markets through successful delivery on our M&A strategy. We have built true scale and position to compete and grow across all asset classes as a top-three provider of financial terminals in Europe.,” said Kristian Nesbak, CEO and founder of Infront.

Q4 2019 reported EBITDA was EUR 6.3 million. EBITDA reflects also a reimbursement from the former vwd shareholders of EUR 1.6 million related to the closing of a former vwd management benefits program. Transaction-related costs had been mainly recognized already in Q3 2019. Revising for these effects, adjusted EBITDA was at EUR 4.8 million compared to adjusted EBITDA of EUR 1.3 million in Q4 2018. Before implementation of IFRS 16, adjusted EBITDA amounted to EUR 3.4 million (EUR 1.3 million).
