Q2 FY2026 · Earnings Call TranscriptAugust 14, 2026

Anders Hamnes

Good morning, and welcome to this presentation. We'll walk you through the highlights of our second quarter.

My name is Anders Hamnes.

Viktoria Nyrén

My name is Viktoria, and I'm here instead of Natalie today who unfortunately couldn't join us.

Anders Hamnes

She's sick, but Viktoria is her close colleague, so that's gonna work fine. Please use the Q&A button in BigMarker, and we'll get back to your questions in the end of this presentation.

First, let's talk about the highlights. We crossed, finally, the 200 million SEK ARR number, big milestone for us.

Total ARR, end of the quarter, 201 million. The growth rate was at 17%, we are still capturing market share in a, I would say, quite demanding market.

I think the latest report I saw from Gartner was around 10% to 12% growth in the CLM space, we are growing faster than the market. Net new ARR closed in at 6.5, which was flat compared to last year, but the first half was up 44% since last year, so that was a strong performance as well.

ARR per FTE, up 51%, more than 1.4 million in ARR per headcount. Retention rates are continuing to trend upwards, which is very, very good, of course.

99% on net and 88% on gross retention. The margins continue to increase as well, EBITDA at 21% and EBIT margin at -7%.

First, for those of you that are not familiar with Oneflow, I'll just describe what we do. We are a contract lifecycle management platform.

You can work with contracts throughout the whole process, from creating templates to collaborating, editing contracts, signing, and also managing your contracts inside Oneflow. Throughout this process, we have a lot of really powerful AI features.

We can help you to write contracts. We can highlight risks in contracts and more.

We can notify you on key events in your contracts and highlight your obligations and so on, key events along the timeline. AI is obviously very important to us.

We work with AI internally in all departments heavily, and also inside the product, we have six different AI features that we augment our current features with for customers. During the quarter, just a few of the product highlights, we made some big improvements to our AI summary where you can create templates on how you want summary to work and what kind of key terms and risks you want to highlight.

We also had a big launch of what we called document overview. It's actually a big part of the application where you now can pick the data fields you want to highlight in a table, you can customize it very detailed so we can show you what you need to pay attention to and what key events you want to see, and so on.

Organizational units is a feature, I would say, more common for the big enterprises. You can structure your contracts, your workspaces, your groups based on different entities, you can control very fine-grain who should be allowed to see what and do what, and so on, in your archive.

With the product table, we also made some big improvements for how you handle taxes and the pricing summaries. Integrations is one of the big kind of efforts we do all the time.

We have a team in Sri Lanka focusing only on integrations, and we constantly improve and build new integrations. This is one of our strengths, I would say, that we have really, really powerful integrations to the main players in, for example, CRM and ATS, and so on.

We also completed the examinations of SOC 1 and SOC 2 during the quarter. SOC 1 is for internal control and financial reporting, and SOC 2 is for security and availability.

This is super important for big enterprises, especially within some sectors like finance and especially for companies that have a footprint in the US. It shows our continuing investment in security, compliance, and governance to increase the trust from customers even more.

Now we have all the ISO we need, and we have SOC 1 and SOC 2, it's a really important step for us. Let's dive into the numbers.

Net new ARR, 6.5 for the quarter, quite flat from last year, but looking at the first half, it ended at 17.5, which was up 44%. We also had, end of the quarter, 5.6 million in ARR that's going to fall into the coming periods.

We only report what we call live ARR internally. Churn has gone down since last year.

It is a steady development that it goes down quarter to quarter, which is fantastic. What also these numbers do not show is that we are actually much less sales reps this year than we were last year and the year before.

We are actually performing better than it looks here because we achieve these results on less headcount. Total ARR, 201 million end of the quarter and 202 million end of July.

The growth rate is 17% year-over-year. This is below our internal long-term goal.

We would like to grow faster, and we have a plan to do so. How we will achieve that is, of course, different motions.

Obviously, when we now do this hard turn right to become profitable, that has also been a painful operation, and it costs growth. It's really, really hard to increase the EBIT margin from -50% last year to -7% now, and at the same time maintain a high growth.

Once we become profitable, we can refocus and put more effort into growth again. Obviously, the market fundamentals is still not easy.

It is tough out there, been tough for at least two, three years now, and I would say it's as tough as it has been for that period. It's not getting any worse, but it's not getting any easier, either.

We make lots of improvements in the product. We're filling the gaps.

We're making our customers more happy. This is also going to, of course, impact expansion and growth.

We constantly make GTM improvements. We made some bigger ICP changes early this year, narrowed down our focus, and we can see already now that this is paying off.

We are working smarter across the board, I would say. We also renegotiate contracts with our customers.

We launch new stuff all the time, and some of those will go into the tiers we already offer, and some of the stuff we launch go into a marketplace, and it's sold as an add-on. We can also increase the average customer value along the road by having them buy more products, more features in Oneflow.

This is a very important KPI to us, the ARR per FTE, because we have a really high gross margin, it's at 92%, and basically all of our revenue is recurring, 98% of our net sales is recurring. This should be a very good indication when we going to become profitable.

Our main cost is salaries: salaries, salaries, salaries. This shows that we are becoming a more leaner organization with a higher productivity per employee.

Our internal mantra is to achieve more with less, achieve more with less. Retention rates are trending upwards for the last two quarters, 99% on net retention.

Actually, it was 99.45%, we could almost round it up to 100%, but it was still below, 99%. Gross, 88%.

And 50% of the churn is what we call contraction, companies laying off people, reducing the seat count in Oneflow. I would say that achieving this development in this market is quite strong because companies out there are not hiring at the moment.

Still, companies are laying off people. We achieved to get really close to 100% now in this market.

What these numbers also show is that we have a healthier customer mix now than we had a year and two years back. We have had, as you have seen, quite high churn, especially last year.

We have cleaned out many low-quality, small, non-ICP customers. The mix we have right now is much, much better and healthier than it was a year and two years back, which also you can see in these numbers.

We continue to invest heavily in our platform. Obviously, the happiness of our customers is going up.

We measure this all the time. We call it PMF score.

We can see that the PMF score is going up, up, up from quarter to quarter, which also you can see in these numbers. The average revenue per account was up 15%, and the number of accounts was quite flat since last year.

The reason for that is that we have been deprioritizing customers in some segments that is not as profitable to us, for example, really small accounts in industries outside of our ICP. Sometimes it's actually beneficial to churn them because they cost more than they give back.

We have been kind of cleaning up a little bit in our portfolio, that's what you see here. The quality overall now is much higher, and that is also what you can see in the ARPA number, up 15%.

What I also can disclose is that internally we talk about initial ACV. ACV stands for annual contract value.

The initial deal size in Q2 this year was close to 70,000 SEK, 70,000 SEK, and that is up more than 200% since last year, and it's up more than 100% since Q1 this year. We are closing bigger deals.

We are going upstream. We are approaching bigger, bigger accounts, and we close them.

This is also what you can see in the ARPA. Obviously, the ARPA has a big delay compared to the initial ACV metric, which is more instant, more now.

We expect both ARPA and the ACV to increase going forward, and we'll achieve that by packaging and pricing. We add more value constantly to our customers.

We solve new problems all the time. We tweak, optimize our ICP and go-to-market engine all the time, renegotiate, and we also sell more stuff on the marketplace to our customers.

Net sales was up 18% quarter-on-quarter, a quarter on last quarter last year. For the first half of the year, year to date, we were close to 97 million, up 20% since last year.

Recurring revenue represent roughly 98% of the net sales, and we had 44% of the sales outside of Sweden, which was up from 41% last year. We currently have paying customers in 44 countries, and if you look at users, including the counterparties in contracts, I think we're close to actually every country in the world.

With paying customers in 44 countries, Norway at 14%, Finland at 10% of our net sales in Q2. Gross margin is stable.

The two main components is hosting and commission to partners, and commission to partners is by far the biggest component that falls into our cost of service sold. You can see it's quite stable.

It's really, really strong, and it gives us the possibility to actually scale and grow effectively going forward. EBIT losses is going down.

We achieved an EBITDA at 10.2 in Q2, which was up from -8 last year. That's an improvement of almost 19 million, 19 million in a year.

The EBIT came in at -3.4, improved from -20.7 last year, an improvement of more than 17 million. That's really, really impressive.

Of course, the main component here between the EBITDA and EBIT is related to activation of developer salaries. Margins, EBIT came in at -7%, and EBITDA at 21%.

It looks like it's been quite flat for the last four quarters, but if you look at the y-axis, it actually goes from -60% to +40%. If you had zoomed in a little bit here, you can see that it is actually increasing 5% since Q1.

Both EBIT and EBITDA is increasing 5% since Q1. We obviously expect to continue this trend upwards.

Net cash flow, rolling 12 months, -20, and for the quarter, at -3.4. Obviously, the main drivers here is about EBIT, it's about increased cash flow from customer growth, and it's about days sales outstanding.

If you use the EBITDA margin, which is most common in the SaaS space, at least in the US, we are actually for the last quarters been around the 40%, the 40 mark. Obviously, we expect this to increase very soon.

Regarding the goals, we reiterate our goals. We've had these goals for more than a year now, but we still believe that we will be able to achieve 30% growth again once we become profitable.

It is really, really hard to keep up a steep growth when you turn right and do whatever you can to save costs. Once this has been reached, we have a plan to increase growth again.

Quick summary of the quarter: ARR up 17%. We had a 51% increase in the ARR per FTE.

Net and gross retention is up sequentially for the last two quarters. The average revenue per account came in at 15% growth for the quarter.

We had an EBITDA at 10.2 million in the quarter, which was an increase of almost 19 million since the same quarter last year. I would like to just also summarize a little bit some of the main highlights or milestones over the last year.

In Q3 last year, we reached positive EBITDA for the first time. In Q1 this year, we had positive net cash flow for the first time.

This quarter, or the last quarter, Q2 this year, we finally crossed 200 million in ARR. Also, think about this: the EBIT margin has increased from -76% two years ago to -50% one year ago to -7% this year.

At the same time, we're growing net sales around 20% this year. This is really, really strong, really strong.

Then we are at the Q&A session. You write that you expect continued improvements in net revenue retention.

What are the main drivers for this? I would say that has to do a lot with our ICP work.

We go upstream. We focus on customers now in segments where we historically have had much better net retention.

If you look at the net retention rate among mid-sized and large enterprises, that is already way above 100%. What pulls the number down is the small companies in some sectors that cost us more, actually, than we make, sometimes.

It has to do with ICP. It has to do also with filling the gaps in the product.

We know exactly what we have to do to please our customers even more, and that's what we're working really hard on, of course. We can also see this in the numbers for the last, I would say, year that the PMF score has been increasing month over month over month over month.

That's also you can see in the net retention numbers. Why is working capital not better than +5-- so, sorry, SEK 0.5 million in Q2?

Was anything pushed to Q3?

Viktoria Nyrén

Should I answer? Yeah.

Anders Hamnes

Please.

Viktoria Nyrén

In the second quarter, we did have costs that were related to SOC 1 and SOC 2, which

Anders Hamnes

are... Quarterly costs.

Viktoria Nyrén

Approximately SEK 700,000 Swedish kronor, and we also normally do supplier payments on the last day of the month, and due to timing of these payments, we had some larger payments that were made in the second quarter of 2026. The second reason is last year we did have a debt recorded due to reorganization of the business, which we do no longer have in 2026.

That's about it. We haven't pushed anything to the third quarter.

Anders Hamnes

No. Clean books, that's important.

One more here. What is the plan for hiring and for OpEx in the short to medium term?

The plan is to keep the costs and headcount approximately at the current level. If you exclude Sri Lanka, we had a headcount end of the quarter at 119.

Internally we treat them as employees, we include them. I think they are 23 in Sri Lanka at the moment.

Viktoria Nyrén

Yes.

Anders Hamnes

24, in total, we are 140-something, and the number was slightly down since Q1, but that is not because we are tightening the rope and trying to cut more costs. It's gonna go up and down a little bit from quarter to quarter, the level that we are at right now is the level that we plan to maintain that.

You can see now from the numbers that I know that some investors have been very worried if we would make it without raising more cash, and we have in the board talked a lot about this in the past to make sure that we don't hit the wall. We don't talk about this anymore, to say.

Internally, we are kind of meant beyond this, kind of we're gonna make it without raising more cash, that's not the question, with a bit of big margin. We don't talk about this anymore internally.

Cost level is gonna be at the level you can see right now, and we're gonna just cross this important line, become profitable, and then we can go to the next plan, which has a much more focus on growth. What is the progress in the US?

Normally we do not talk about the different countries except for we share all the sales numbers in Norway and Finland, but we don't normally talk about the countries. However, what I can say is that it goes according to plan.

We have a team of five in the US, and we are closing deals in the US, and we have an interesting pipe in the US, and we definitely have a fit in the market in the US. Competition is tough, and we knew about that before we entered the US.

However, before we entered, we had a lot of business from the US that was handled by the UK team. We kind of knew what we went into.

We are progressing according to plan. That was it, actually.

The last question.

Viktoria Nyrén

Great.

Anders Hamnes

Okay.

Viktoria Nyrén

Thank you.

Anders Hamnes

Thank you for your time, and wish you all a wonderful weekend.
