Management's reviewStibo DX’s mission is to be the leading partner in digital transformation for media companies globally. The company’s platform automates complex content production and omnichannel delivery for media to transform content into a competitive edge.The company is headquartered in Aarhus, Denmark, and in addition, Stibo DX has offices in Atlanta, USA, Hamburg, Germany, Oslo, Norway and in Dhaka, Bangladesh.The main product for Stibo DX is the editorial Content Management System (CMS), CUE, and Digital Asset Management System, CUE DAM. The CUE product suite is the foundation for growth for more than 800 media worldwide.In addition to introducing a new CEO, Lars Bjørn Falkenberg, in the fiscal year 2022/23, the company has completed a review of its strategic vision. A thorough analysis of the addressable markets and requirements for servicing them has sharpened the focus for the company to solely target the global media industry for the future.Consequently, as of May 2023, the investment in a Digital Experience Platform (DXP) has been discontinued, and resources have been reallocated to the core product portfolio; CUE Publishing Platform for global media.Stibo DX is in the process of transitioning from classical perpetual software licencing to one of subscription licencing. The transition is expected to take two to three years. The transition is expected to defer cash-flow from new and add-on licence sales, consequently impacting both revenue and profit on the short and mid-term. Despite the negative short and mid-term impact from change in licensing model, Stibo DX expects an annual increase in revenues of around 10% over the coming years. Due to significant investments in preparing the organisation for further growth as well as investing further in developing new solution offerings for the global media industry, an EBIT in the range of -15m to -20m is expected over the next two fiscal years.OwnershipStibo Software Group A/S is 100% owned by Stibo Holding A/S (CVR-nr. 35844384), Aarhus.
