Q & A Highlights

Q: What revenue do you expect to consolidate this year from GoCanvas, considering its previous ARR? A: We expect a revenue haircut due to IFRS-related effects, which will impact the revenue consolidation. We are consolidating from July 1, so only half of the revenues for this year will be included, with the haircut affecting this year and the first half of next year. - Louise Oefverstroem, CFO
