Continia Software A/S

Udvikling i aktiviteter og økonomiske forhold
Virksomhedens fokusområder i 2022 har blandt andet været at gøre betalingsprodukterne mere internationale; finde løsninger på det voksende problem med at rekruttere kvalificeret arbejdskraft og en opdatering af virksomhedens visuelle profil og brand.

På det internationale område lykkedes det at opkøbe den dominerende leverandør af betalingsprodukter til Business Central på de tysktalende markeder; gbedv GmbH & Co. KG. med OPplus produktet og dets over 4.000 aktive kunder, samtidig med en ny udviklingsafdeling succesfuldt er blevet etableret i den litauiske hovedstad, Vilnius.

Transformationen mod cloudbaserede løsninger fortsætter i højt tempo og har nu passeret 60% af alle ny-solgte licenser.

På resultatsiden har virksomheden opnået en vækst i omegnen af 53% på omsætningen og ikke mindre end 68% på resultatsiden, mens eksportandelen af ny-salget nåede 75%.


Resultatforventningen for 2022 var et positivt resultat for 2022 med forventning om vækstprocenter over 10% i resultat i forhold til 2021. Målsætningen blev opfyldt.

2022 blev samtidig året, hvor der for alvor kom gang i de udadvendte salgsaktiviteter og konferencer igen efter COVID-19 nedlukningerne, ligesom der blev plads til en større firmatur til Italien, hvor der blev arbejdet med virksomhedens mål, værdier, dna og nye visuelle profil.

Samlet set finder ledelsen årets resultat for meget tilfredsstillende; ligesom etableringen af den litauiske udviklingsafdeling har lettet presset en del i forhold til manglen på arbejdskraft.


2023 kommer igen til at byde på intensive investeringer i både organisationen, produkter og markeder med store forventninger til en fortsat positiv udvikling; realiseret gennem partnerkanalen og understøttet af en stadig bedre salgsservicerende infrastruktur via vores fysiske tilstedeværelse på de vigtigste internationale markeder.

Risikovurdering og risikostyring
Bestyrelsen og direktionen fastlægger og godkender overordnede politikker, procedurer og kontroller på væsentlige områder i forbindelse med den daglige drift af virksomheden. Grundlaget herfor er en klar organisationsstruktur, klare retningslinjer, autorisations- og attestationsprocedurer og personadskillelse.

Bestyrelsen og direktionen vurderer løbende (mindst årligt) væsentlige risici og interne kontroller i forbindelse med selskabets aktiviteter. På dette grundlag evalueres og vedtages løbende tiltag med henblik på at eliminere og/eller reducere risici, herunder forretningsmæssige og finansielle risici.

Bestyrelsen og direktionen tager, som led i risikovurderingen, årligt stilling til risikoen for besvigelser og til de foranstaltninger, der skal tages med henblik på at reducere og/eller eliminere disse risici.


Forretningsmæssige og finansielle risici
De væsentligste forretningsmæssige risici er bl.a. evnen til at være stærkt positioneret på de markeder, hvor der opereres. Det er væsentligt for selskabet at være på forkant med den teknologiske udvikling for at bibeholde selskabets markedsandele.

Continia koncernen er eksponeret over for en række finansielle risici, herunder markedsrisici (valuta- og renterisici) samt likviditets- og finansieringsrisici. Continia koncernen har en finanspolitik, der fastsætter de overordnede rammer for den finansielle risikostyring. Det er selskabets politik ikke at foretage aktiv spekulation i finansielle risici. Selskabets finansielle politik retter sig således alene mod styring og reduktion af de finansielle risici, der er en direkte følge af driften, investeringer og finansiering., Development in activities and financial affairs
The company's focus areas in 2022 have included making the payment products more international; finding solutions to a growing problem of recruiting qualified labor; and updating the company’s visual profile and brand.

In the international area, the acquisition of the dominant provider of payment solutions for Business Central in the German speaking markets; gbedv GmbH & Co. KG. with the OPplus product and its over 4,000 active customers, as well as the successful establishment of a new development center in the Lithuanian capital Vilnius.

The transformation towards cloud-based solutions continues at a rapid pace and has now passed 60% of all new licenses sold.

On the performance side, the company has achieved growth of around 53% in revenue and no less than 68% in profit, while the export share of new sales reached 75%.


The earnings expectations for 2022 was a positive result for 2022 with expectations of growth percentages above 10% in profit compared to 2021. The objective was filled.

2022 was also the year when external sales activities and conferences really took off again after the COVID-19 lockdowns, and there was also room for a major company trip to Italy, where the goals, values, DNA and new visual profile of the company was on the agenda.

Overall, the management considers the result for the year to be very satisfactory, and the establishment of the Lithuanian development department has relieved some of the pressure in terms of recruiting qualified labor.

2023 will again see intensive investments in both the organization, products and markets with high expectations for continued positive development; realized through the partner channel and supported by an ever-improving sales service infrastructure through our physical presence in the most important international markets.

Risk assessment and risk management
The Board of Directors and the Executive Board establish and approve overall policies, procedures and controls in key areas related to the day-to-day operations of the company. The basis for this is a clear organizational structure, clear guidelines, authorization and certification procedures and segregation of duties.

The Board of Directors and the Executive Board regularly (at least annually) assess significant risks and internal controls in connection with the company's activities. On this basis, measures are continuously evaluated and adopted to eliminate and/or reduce risks, including business and financial risks.

As part of the risk assessment, the Board of Directors and the Executive Board annually consider the risk of fraud and the measures to be taken to reduce and/or eliminate these risks.



Business and financial risks
The most significant business risks include the ability to be strongly positioned in the markets in which it operates. It is essential for the company to be at the forefront of technological development in order to maintain the company's market share.

The Continia Group is exposed to a number of financial risks, including market risks (currency and interest rate risks) as well as liquidity and financing risks. The Continia Group has a financial policy that sets the overall framework for financial risk management. It is the company's policy not to engage in active speculation in financial risks. The company's financial policy is thus solely aimed at managing and reducing the financial risks that are a direct consequence of operations, investments and financing.
