STOCKHOLM, Feb. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Truecaller, the leading global platform for verifying contacts and blocking unwanted communication, increased EBITDA with 24% to SEK 169 million (136) and the EBITDA margin was 39.7% (30.6%) in the fourth quarter. Earnings per share increased with 43% to 0.33 SEK (0.23) while net sales decreased with 4% to SEK 424.7 million (444.1).

"During the fourth quarter, our user base grew by six million, landing at an average of 374 million monthly active users. The trend of high growth rates outside of India continued. During the quarter, we saw higher relative growth in regions outside of India and the Middle East. India continues to be an important market for us, and we continue to be one of the most loved apps in the market. We are proud to have reached a new all-time high in our Net Promoter Score in India, ending the quarter at an NPS of 62. The growth rate in the number of paying users was almost twice as high as that for the total user base.

Net sales amounted to SEK 425 million (444), a decrease with 4% compared to the same quarter in 2022, as a result of a 12% decrease in revenue from our advertising business. Our recurring revenues from businesses increased by 42%, and consumer subscription revenues increased by 23%.

Our profitability and cash flow continued to be strong. EBITDA increased by 24 percent to SEK 169 million (136), and the EBITDA margin was 40% (31%). Earnings per share increased by 43% to SEK 0.33 (0.23). The operational cash flow amounted to SEK 170 million (46) for the quarter.

The fourth quarter was the strongest yet for Truecaller for Business in terms of customer uptake. The customer base now consists of more than 2,500 larger companies, and the trend of customers opting for higher-priced plans continues.

Our balance sheet remains solid with SEK 1.6 billion in cash and short-term investments and 25.3 million repurchased shares, providing stability and flexibility contributing to long-term shareholder value. Since the end of the third quarter of 2022, our cash flow has enabled us to repurchase shares totaling SEK 842 million and make small acquisitions while maintaining a stable cash position. With the financial strength at hand, the board has decided to propose to the annual general meeting to cancel the repurchased B shares, which currently represent 6.7% of the total outstanding shares, and request a new repurchase mandate

During 2024 we will increase our focus to develop AI-based features to prevent fraud, grow our user base and recurring revenues with the long-term ambition to make them a much larger share of our total revenues." says Alan Mamedi CEO of Truecaller
