Huddly shipped its first Huddly Crew to customers, executing on its strategy to
define a new category in hybrid collaboration, receiving overwhelming feedback
on the intelligent camera system. The multi-camera system has won several
prestigious product and design awards.
At the same time, a sharp decline in sales through one of Huddly's main
strategic partners generated a revenue decline to NOK 51 million in the first
quarter of 2023 and a gross margin improvement to 46% due to the higher share of
high-margin sales through channels. The revenue setback reflects downstream
supply chain issues, as the partner who is lacking other parts in their
solutions has postponed orders.
"The first shipment of Huddly Crew marks a shift for us, moving from disruptive
innovation of intelligent cameras to defining a new category of intelligent
camera systems. We will defend our position as a market leader through continued
R&D to secure long-term mutually beneficial collaborations with our strategic
partners and distribution channels" says Graham Williams, CEO of Huddly.
Huddly expects to see indications on growth regaining momentum through the third
quarter of 2023, with potential effect from the fourth quarter 2023. The Board
has decided not to provide any revenue guidance for 2023 until further notice.
The management team has revised Huddly's strategy to adapt to the current market
development, and will focus on Technology, Revenue, Gross Margin and
Profitability, and has already stabilized costs which the company expects to
decline in the second half of the 2023.
To secure the company's liquidity position the company is finalizing the process
of securing a committed loan facility of an aggregated amount of up to NOK 100
million. Of this, NOK 55 million from shareholders and companies associated with
Huddly has been committed.
