Cash flow statement
The cash flow statement is presented using the indirect
method and shows cash flows from operating, investing,
and financing activities for the year as well as the Group’s
cash and cash equivalents at the beginning and end of
the financial year.
Cash flows from operating activities are calculated based
on operating profit/loss, adjusted for the cash flow effect
of non-cash operating items, working capital changes,
financial expenses paid and income tax paid.
Cash flows from investing activities comprise payments
in connection with the acquisition and sale of non-current
intangible assets, tangible assets, and financial assets.
Cash flows from financing activities comprise payments
arising from changes in the size or composition of the
Group’s share capital and dividend paid. Cash and cash
equivalents comprise cash at the bank and in hand.
Foreign currency
translation
A functional currency is determined for each Group
entity. The functional currency is the currency used in
the primary financial environment in which the individual
Group entity operates. The Group’s presentation currency
is DKK.
On initial recognition, foreign currency transactions are
translated into the functional currency at the exchange
rate at the transaction dates. Foreign currency translation
differences between the exchange rates at the transaction
date and the date of payment are recognized in the
income statement under financials.
Monetary items denominated in a foreign currency are
translated at the exchange rate at the reporting date. The
difference between the exchange rates at the reporting
date and the transaction date or the exchange rateused
in the latest Annual Report is recognized in the income
statement under financials.
Foreign currency translation differences arising on the
translation of non-monetary items are recognized directly
in other comprehensive income.
When preparing the consolidated financial statements, the
income statements of entities with a functional currency
other than DKK are translatedat the average exchange
rate for the period, and balance sheet items are translated
at the closing rate at the end of the reporting period.
Foreign exchange differences arising on translation of the
equity of foreign entities are recognized directly in other
comprehensive income.
Foreign exchange differences arising on the translation of
income statements from the average exchange rate for the
period to the exchange rate at the reporting date are also
recognized in other comprehensive income. Adjustments
are presented under a separate translation reserve in
equity.
Statement of profit or loss
Revenue
The Group has two revenue streams: SaaS revenue and
consultancy. Revenue mainly derives from subscription
fees charged for the Group’s software subscription. In
respect of software contracts, which are composed of
several components, the total contract sum is allocated to
the separate performance obligations for the purpose of
revenue recognition.
Revenue recognition requires an agreement with the
client, which creates enforceable rights and obligations
between the parties, has commercial substance, and
identifies payment terms. In addition, it must be probable
that the consideration determined in the contract will be
collected.
Revenue is measured based on the consideration to
which the Group expects to be entitled in a contract with
a client and excludes amounts collected on behalf of third
parties. The Group recognizes revenue when it transfers
control of the license or service to a client. All revenue is
derived from contracts with clients.
SAAS REVENUE
SaaS revenue consists of two revenue streams:
subscription fees and configuration and integrations.
Subscription fees cover subscription, hosting, and
maintenance. The subscription is not distinct from the
hosting service, revenue is therefore recognized over time,
as the clients are receiving and consuming the benefits of
the Group‘s performance while performing. The hosting
service and maintenance are therefore bundled to one
performance obligation together with the subscription.
Fees related to configuration and integration include
services related to installation, implementation, and
configuration. The services are not distinct from the
subscription fee as the client cannot benefit from the
service on its own and are not separately identifiable from
other promises in the contract. Revenue is recognized
over time as the clients are receiving and consuming the
benefits of the Group’s performance while performing.
CONSULTANCY REVENUE
Consultancy revenue includes client-specific development
and customization, as well as training and workshops. It
also includes revenue from co-development agreements,
which are agreements with clients regarding development
of a new functionality to the Relesys platform.
Furthermore, the co-development agreements will result
in the creation of an intangible asset, and therefore, the
revenue generated from the co-development agreements
is recognized in consultancy revenue over time and in
parallel with the amortization of the intangible asset.
The consultancy revenue is distinct from the SaaS
revenue as the client can benefit from the service on its
own, and the promise to transfer the service to the client is
separately identifiable from other promises in the contract.
Revenue is recognized over time as Relesys’ performance
does not create an asset with an alternative use, and
the entity has a right to payment for the performance
completed to date.
