Comments by the CEO
 
I am very proud of Quickbit’s development over the past year! From being in a difficult situation with declining revenues, we have managed to execute a successful turnaround in record time. With a strengthened management team and new board, new partners, transaction structure, and customers, we have initiated and accelerated the pivot we call Quickbit 2.0. We are now concluding the fiscal year with yet another strong revenue growth, more than doubling our revenues for the third consecutive quarter.

In the previous quarterly report, I was proud to share that we had significantly exceeded our previously communicated revenue forecast. Now we are doing it again. Our net sales for the fourth quarter amounted to 51.8 million EUR, an increase of 121% from the third quarter and 152% compared to the fourth quarter of the previous year.

I am also pleased to announce that June showed a positive operating result, which is tremendously gratifying for the entire Quickbit team and a testament to the team’s competence and commitment.

All of this gives us a solid foundation to approach the next fiscal year with good prospects and great confidence.

I am also happy to announce that Quickbit has just become Inet’s provider of cryptocurrency payment services through our in-house developed product Quickbit Pay. Our continued growth demonstrates that we have a strong and competitive offering that we continuously develop and improve.

Quickbit is currently focused on the new Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA). MiCA will allow us to target all EU countries with a single national license on the consumer side. This will enable us to expand our consumer offering internationally at an even faster pace and simplify and streamline the group’s structure.

Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to thank our owners, board, management, and staff for their trust and good cooperation. We are now in a position to expand into even more industries and reach new heights. There is great interest in Quickbit and our products in the market, and we see enormous potential ahead.

The future looks bright.

Thank you.
