what happened
Swedish communication platform Truecaller reported a third-quarter net loss, Reuters said. The result was driven by a SEK 92 million provision linked to an tax survey in India.
Net sales for the quarter fell 1% year on year, but rose 3% in constant currencies. Adjusted EBITDA dropped 9%, and the margin narrowed to 32%. The company said recurring revenues grew 26% in constant currencies, while premium subscription revenue rose 32%. Advertising, according to the company, stabilised and grew 23% from the previous quarter.
In its outlook, Truecaller warned that weak smartphone sales and higher prices could slow user growth. It expects to raise average revenue per user through new products and services.
why it matters
The key question for investors is how much the one-off provision distorts the picture. Slower user growth amid a weak smartphone market could weigh on sentiment, while rising subscriptions and advertising point to a shift in monetisation.
