LONDON – 24 April 2025 – MotorK PLC (AMS: MTRK) (“MotorK”, the “Group” or the “Company”), a leading SaaS provider to the automotive retail industry in the EMEA region, today announced its financial results for the first quarter of 2025 (“Q1 25”), reporting continued CARR growth and strong progress toward its profitability targets.
Q1 25 Financial Highlights:
- Committed Annual Recurring Revenue (CARR): €36.8M, up 4.2% year-on-year from €35.3M, despite market uncertainty leading to large enterprise and dealership projects postponements
- Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR): €33.4M, a 1.4% increase compared to €33M in Q1 24, slightly slowed by retail legacy platform migrations
- Reported Revenue: €10.3M, a 8.4% increase compared to restated €9.5 in Q1 24
- Retail Net Revenue Retention (NRR): 102%, confirming the value of the SparK platform offering, combined with the ‘land and expand’ strategic approach
Broader macroeconomic pressures, including newly imposed tariffs on transatlantic automotive trade, continued to influence market dynamics. These factors contributed to extended decision-making cycles among OEMs and dealer groups, resulting in the postponement of several large-scale digital transformation projects into Q2. At the same time, the Group remained focused on high-impact client engagements, prioritising opportunities that align with long-term strategic value and margin expansion. This disciplined approach supports sustainable growth, though it may shift some revenue recognition into future periods.
In the retail segment, changes in customer retention were primarily associated with the Company’s planned transition from legacy platforms. These migrations are a key enabler of future growth, positioning the Group to better serve its expanded customer base and enhance cross-sell and upsell potential across acquired businesses.
Amid these market dynamics, the Group maintained strong operational discipline and made meaningful progress toward its profitability objectives. Adjusted EBITDA was positive for the quarter, and Cash EBITDA improved notably compared to the prior year, reflecting continued focus on cost efficiency and strategic customer engagement.
Looking ahead, MotorK remains committed to further enhancing its financial performance, with a clear path toward reaching a cash EBITDA positive position on a monthly basis by year-end. The Group will continue to emphasize operational excellence and long-term customer value, while remaining agile in response to evolving macroeconomic conditions and investment priorities across the automotive sector.
The Company also announced that the Notice of the AGM and the Form of Proxy are now available on its website.
