OUTLOOK FOR 2022 (unchanged)
On a general level, the increased uncertainty of the operating environment in Europe due to the war in Ukraine and inflation in the aftermath of the coronavirus pandemic continue to create uncertainty in acquiring new customers. However, QPR’s solutions that enable operational efficiency and cost savings are an opportunity for our customers to renew themselves and react to market changes faster than the competition.
Based on the increased sales offer base, continuous customer revenues, and the booking rate of consulting, QPR estimates that its turnover will increase in 2022 (2021: EUR 9,140 thousand) supported by the growth of SaaS turnover.
CEO JUSSI VASAMA COMMENTS ON JANUARYJUNE 2022:
The implementation of QPR’s new strategy has progressed well, which can be seen in the clear increase in SaaS revenue compared to the comparison period. SaaS revenue growth accelerated to 38% in the secong quarter exceeding the long-term strategic target level. The recurring revenue items of the software business, SaaS and maintenance revenues, grew by 14% in the second quarter and by 9% in JanuaryJune compared to the comparison period. The share of recurring profits in turnover increased to 45% in the second quarter, as compared to 37% a year earlier.
Net sales in the second quarter decreased from the comparison period, but the decrease clearly slowed down as compared to the first quarter. In the entire comparison period, the figures were affected by the exceptionally large one-time license sales in the first quarter of 2021. In the second quarter, the sale of new software licenses was at the level of the comparison period.
Revenue from the consulting business was 15% lower in the first half of the year compared to the previous year. This is primarily due to demand fluctuations in the consulting services of the Finnish public sector, and partly also a reflection of the challenge of quickly hiring consulting expertise that meets the markets demand.
During the monitoring period, we focused on renewing the company’s strategic focus, structure, and operating models. We have strengthened our foundation to enable growth and strengthened our offering as a leading process intelligence SaaS service provider.
In the second quarter, the company launched a unique solution developed for the process mining market. The solution enables a customer-oriented SaaS software business based on scalable process intelligence. It is the first and only flexibly scalable and quickly deployable solution on the market, that organizations can use without compromising on the amount of data, data integrity, and process data integrity.
With the launched solution, QPR enables customers to make their operations more efficient and save on costs. We do this by combining a deep understanding of the customers business processes with real-time process transparency, ready-made dashboards, and market-leading Data Cloud technology. Snowflake was selected as the modern technology provider. QPRs solution, built on top of the Snowflake data cloud, is thus the only process mining software on the market to run natively and securely in the Snowflake data cloud. Additionally, QPR signed a partnership agreement with Snowflake, making us the only Process Mining Powered by Snowflake partner globally. In addition to increasing product development investments, the company increased investment in marketing, sales, and strengthening its partnership network.
In line with the company strategy, the focus lies on strong and continuous SaaS revenue growth. In the medium term, this affects the overall growth of the company, especially regarding to the gradual decrease in new sales of software licenses. For the rest of the year, the company will continue to invest heavily in marketing, sales, and product development in accordance with its strategy. This will consequently weaken profitability in the near future.
As the company previously announced, QPR’s rights issue from May 27 to June 10, 2022, was oversubscribed. The goal of the share issue was to strengthen the company’s financial conditions to implement the company’s growth strategy. The rights issue would enable investments in the growth of the international SaaS business by focusing on QPR’s scalable process mining offering and our capabilities. I am very satisfied with the result of the rights issue, where the company raised approximately EUR 2.9 million in net assets. This is a strong indication of investors’ trust and faith in the new strategy and in QPR itself as the leading software and service company in our industry.
I am happy that the renewal of the company’s structure and operations has progressed quickly. After the company’s reorganization, two new people started in the executive management team. In the second quarter, we announced the strengthening of the company’s executive management team with the appointment of a new CRO, CFO, and Head of People and Culture. The appointments support the implementation of QPR’s new growth strategy. We have also increased investments in personnel well-being and strengthened our recruitment process. I am very satisfied with QPR’s ability to function as an international and multicultural organization, and I believe this will be a significant competitive advantage for the company as an employer in the future.
On a general level, increased uncertainty of the operating environment and the increase in cost levels may affect investments of some customer industries. However, QPR’s solutions, which enable operational efficiency and cost savings, are an opportunity for our customers to renew themselves and to react to market changes.

NOTES TO INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
This report complies with requirements of IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. Starting from the beginning of 2022, the Group has applied certain new or revised IFRS standards and IFRIC interpretations, as described in the Consolidated Financial Statements 2021. The implementation of these new and revised requirements has not impacted the reported figures. For all other parts, the accounting principles and methods are the same as they were in the 2021 financial statements.
When preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions regarding the future and to consider the appropriate application of accounting principles, which means that actual results may differ from those estimated.
All amounts presented in this report are consolidated figures, unless otherwise noted. The amounts presented in the report are rounded, so the sum of individual figures may differ from the sum reported. This report is unaudited.
