(Copenhagen, 3 May 2022) Napatech A/S ("Napatech", OSE: NAPA) reported revenues
of DKK 52.2 million in the first quarter of 2022 (46.8 million in the first
quarter of 2021), and an EBITDA of DKK -2.0 million (8.8). The company grew
revenues by 12% in the period. Napatech reiterates its strong outlook and
expects 2022 revenues of DKK 235-260 million.
"Napatech delivered its 14th quarter in a row of year-over-year growth gaining
momentum with our leadership position in the SmartNIC solutions market. We have
never been in a more compelling position to capitalize on the significant
opportunities being driven by server and application deployments in datacenters
by telco, cloud and enterprise network operators that are driving the need for
SmartNICs," says Ray Smets, CEO of Napatech.
Napatech is a global leader of FPGA-based SmartNICs focused on high-speed
solutions for cloud, mobile, telecom, and enterprises with a goal of putting a
SmartNIC in every server requiring faster applications, better networking, and
more effective security applications.
Napatech reported revenues of DKK 52.2 million in the first quarter of 2022
(46.8) million in the first quarter 2021), representing an increase of 12%, with
an EBITDA of DKK -2.0 million (8.8).
In USD terms, the company grew revenues by 4% in the first quarter of 2021
compared to the first quarter of 2021. The net cash flow from operating
activities ended at DKK -0.3 million (-12.0). At the end of the period, Napatech
had cash and cash equivalents of DKK 33.4 million (40.8). The margin was
negatively affected by the delivery of a large hardware order during the
quarter, where Napatech is confident on a subsequent software order.
"We are navigating Napatech to be a key player in this evolution leveraging what
we do best, accelerating networking applications and services on FPGA-based
SmartNICs. We reiterate our strong outlook for 2022, and remain optimistic about
our potential to unlock higher growth within this market with innovative
SmartNIC solutions that deliver market leading performance for our customers,"
Smets concludes.
Napatech reiterates its outlook for 2022:
- Revenue in the range of DKK 235-260 million
- Gross margin 69-71%
- Staff expenses and other external costs in the range of DKK 155-165 million
- Staff costs transferred to capitalized development costs DKK 28-33 million
- Depreciation and amortization in the range of DKK 23-28 million
With performance in the middle of the guided ranges, EBITDAC would be positive
