A word from the CEO
"We continue the momentum with a solid quarter,
significantly up from the previous year and our strongest gross
margin ever achieved. With the closing of the transaction, we have
laid the foundation for the execution of our new commercial model
and bring OXE to the next level."
Our overall sales performance during the quarter was solid and
consolidated sales amounted to SEK 31.4
m, an increase of 211% relative to Q1 2021 of which 147% was
organic growth.
Consolidated sales of propulsion units amounted to SEK 26m, an increase of 361% relative to Q1 2021
of which 273% was organic growth.
Consolidated Parts & Accessories sales ("P&A") amounted
to SEK 5.4 m, a 21% increase relative
to Q1 2021. Organic growth amounted to -13% due to a large once-off
order in Q1 2021. In general, we continue to see the trend of
growth in our P&A business due to the increase in the global
number of OXE motors in operation.
We also achieved our highest gross margin for a quarter with
29%. This is as a result of the continued development of P&A
sales in combination with price increases on the OXE200 family of
engines which became effective at the start of the quarter.
We spent a large portion of the quarter completing the
acquisition of what is now OXE Marine INC and OXE Marine
Manufacturing INC, which closed on 16 February. We therefore only
consolidated the US entities for half of the quarter.
We made the announcement at the Miami International Boat Show
where we hosted a live event and presented our Q4 2021 results live
from Miami. In addition, we
presented the OXE Water Jet and were able to exhibit our now
extensive product range alongside the largest outboard
manufacturers in the world.
On 28 March 2022 we launched our
new organization, internally referred to as "OXE 2.0", focusing on
the roll out our new commercial model where we introduce several
go-to-market routes with the customer in the center.
