Annual report TextMagic AS's consolidated audited annual report for the financial year 2023
2023 was a challenging year for the TextMagic Group with significant strategic changes. The events that took place during the year are considered by management to be in the best interest of the future growth and sustainability of the Group.
The slowdown in revenue growth of the Group's flagship product, the Textmagic SMS platform, was impacted by a number of factors, including significant changes in US SMS regulations, a decline in demand following the Covid pandemic and a challenging economic environment that negatively impacted our customer portfolio. The Group responded promptly to these challenges by adjusting development plans, making additional investments, and implementing price increases.
Last year, the Group's first acquisition took place on June 1, 2023, when it acquired 100% of the shares in the website and e-commerce management platform Voog for EUR 1.1 million.
2023 also includes a strategic decision to terminate development of the Touchpoint customer service software in order to optimize the use of resources and focus on Textmagic and Voog as revenue generating platforms. Marketing and development of the Touchpoint brand and domain will continue with a view to applying it to other projects in the future.
As a result of this decision, the result for 2023 includes a loss from discontinued operations of EUR 23.39 million. The Group's net loss for 2023 is EUR 20.66 million, which will be covered by the retained earnings and share premium.
As part of a regulatory compliance review, management identified a US sales tax liability for which a provision of EUR 1.1 million has been recorded. Management has proactively started to adjust prior period tax liabilities to ensure compliance with US laws and regulations. In addition, measures are being prepared to effectively collect sales taxes in future periods. The exact amount of the liability is expected to be determined by the end of the third quarter of 2024 and will be paid out of free cash flow.
Group's key figures of 2023
The consolidated total revenue of the group for 2023 amounted to EUR 14,970 thousand (2022: EUR 13,831 thousand). The financial results of the Voog platform have been consolidated from the date of acquisition and the impact on the group's revenues was EUR 390 thousand.
The Group's cash-flow generation capacity remains strong, with no interest-bearing liabilities, and liquidity indicators remain at a high level. In 2023, a cash distribution of EUR 2.55 million (0.30€/share) was made to the shareholders based on the resolution of 2022. The Management Board intends to make a proposal to the shareholders to decide on a distribution in the amount of EUR 2.98 million (0.35€/share) through a bonus issue and then a reduction of the share capital at the end of 2024.

The Group's main objectives for 2024
In 2024, the Group will focus primarily on the development and marketing of the Textmagic SMS platform, with the goal of restoring the platform's growth rate by improving the platform's functionality and user experience. The functionality developed for the Touchpoint software will be partially integrated into the Textmagic product to enhance the value proposition of the product.
In addition, the functionality of the Voog.com websites and e-commerce platform will be enhanced. The goal is to expand the customer base internationally in order to increase sales in foreign markets.
At the management level, the priority is to maximize the well-being of the various target groups, including customers, team members and shareholders, in support of the Group's core objective of increasing revenue and profitability. Management strives to ensure annual distributions to shareholders with the intention of gradually increasing them.
