- Market Focus: Growth is strongest in India and the US. Efforts are ongoing to crack the Japanese market, which relies on relationships and home-grown software.
- Revenue Recognition: The robust order book has a multi-quarter implementation cycle, meaning revenue recognition will be delayed.
- Geopolitical Impact: A couple of orders from the Middle East were postponed due to the war situation, impacting Q4 revenue.
- Employee Costs: Increased employee costs were noted, partly due to investments in teams and the impact of new labour code changes.
