THE PRESIDENT HAS THE FLOOR
In a changing world, it is important to be able to react to changes, rethink and adapt to the situation! Globalisation and urbanisation are undergoing major changes, perhaps the biggest in modern times. As a company we are affected in different ways, but that everyone is affected to some degree and needs to relate to this is in my world a fact.
Today we have three crises that have affected our business climate. The pandemic, the climate and war in Europe.
Together, these three crises have affected the supply of components, created a whole new set of conditions for transport and increased the cost of most things, not least electricity generation.
CGit has handled these three crises very well, keeping our ear to the ground and acting quickly and agilely when needed. Already at the end of 2021 we stated that we will have to deal with the component shortage for a long time and in previous reports I have mentioned that it will probably last until well into 2023. But it may be even longer. We started to expand our consulting organisation in order to financially compensate for delayed deliveries in the solutions business, especially in parts of the solutions business where only certain manufacturers are affected!
We also note that we have faced more challenges with component shortages than we could compensate for in a single quarter. This year alone, we have added 6 employees (33 compared to 27 in Q1), most of them to expand our consulting business. It takes a few months to have a full impact on the bottom line and the consulting business is not nearly as revenue-driving as the solutions business traditionally is. In Q1, consulting accounted for 26% of total TB´t and in Q2 consulting is 34% of total TB´t.
Since we have no component shortage on the direct hardware linked to AI/deep learning, I am not worried on a yearly basis. This is also demonstrated by three major orders of SEK 8 million, SEK 34 million and SEK 21 million in turnover. These were carried out after the period covered by the report but are described in Significant events after the period. The deal of SEK 34 million has already been delivered and invoiced in August, the deal of SEK 21 million will be delivered and invoiced in September. The deal of SEK 8 million will be invoiced in Q4. I would like to emphasize that there are no component shortage issues related to these deals and they will be delivered as usual to the customer! In total, these deals alone account for SEK 55 million in Q3!
Delivery problems exist when it comes to complete solutions, including network equipment. However, we have initiated cooperation with other manufacturers who do not have component shortages and who can deliver the same high quality as previous manufacturers. We have taken solution deals of 8.5 MSEK that are not delivered due to the component shortage and that is almost 16% of our total turnover accumulated 2022-06-31. With the knowledge we have now about the skills shortage and lead times, 90% of these deals will be delivered in 2022. Having said that, we have the momentum of the company intact and in line with the targets set. We have done a lot of business in the solution area with a focus on network/security. This is where manufacturers have the greatest problems with component shortages, but also a transport and packaging debt since the major “lockdown” that occurred in Asia during the pandemic. We have seen this challenge coming and we have taken steps to compensate, such as shifting to a greater proportion of consultancy sales and contract sales around our various services and concepts. It has been implemented, but the impact has been delayed.
