We continue to grow and develop while adapting the company to our new strategy as part of our journey. During the second quarter, we achieved net revenue of € 129.0 million (8.9), representing a 1,346% growth compared to the same quarter last year and 70.3% compared to the previous quarter. We are also strengthening our profitability, reaching € 1.2 million in net profit for the quarter. It is with great joy that I can announce to all shareholders, the board, and employees that the company’s revenue growth has now reached an all-time high. Never before has the company generated such high revenue in a single quarter! There are moments in a company’s journey that define its future. We are in the middle of such a moment right now. For the first time, we are showing positive figures and making a profit – a result of hard work, strategic focus, and strong belief in our vision. Our remarkable growth in Q2 2024 is proof that we are on the right path and that our strategy is yielding results. More and more customers are choosing us. Even more importantly – they are coming back. We see transaction volumes increasing and our platform becoming a natural partner for our customers. This is no coincidence. We have improved our ability to listen to the market, understand its needs, and deliver solutions that truly make a difference. Our products are maturing, interest is growing, and we see stable demand from both existing and new customers. One of our greatest strengths is our ability to scale the business in a smart and profitable way. We have successfully addressed different customer types across various jurisdictions, each with distinct regulatory requirements – while maintaining our margins. This is a testament to our adaptability, innovative power, and sharp operational strategy. We are building a company that not only grows fast but also grows sustainably. The journey we have undertaken over the past two years is extraordinary. I dare to say that no other Swedish company has executed such a successful turnaround as we have. We have transformed into a completely new company – with a competent and strong team, better and smarter solutions, and a clear strategy for the future. Beyond our continued growth journey, we have accomplished a lot in the past quarter. This includes the launch of our latest product, Corporate Wallet, a company name change, and the introduction of a new strategy. In my previous message, I mentioned that we have high expectations for our Corporate Wallet, a crypto wallet designed for businesses. We are convinced that this product is timely and highly relevant, enabling companies to manage crypto assets – something that is becoming increasingly in demand as crypto assets play a growing role in the financial system. Now, the company is well-positioned to capitalize on a rapidly growing market where digital assets are becoming an increasingly significant part of the global economy. We are expanding beyond a singular crypto focus and building a platform for the future – a future where we are a key player in a transforming digital world. We are just getting started. And we are doing it with strength, energy, and a strong belief in the future. Daniel SonessonCEO, Valuno GroupFor further information, please contact:Daniel Sonesson, CEO +46 (0)[email protected]  ------------------------------------Valuno is a Swedish fintech company founded in 2016, with the goal of making the integration of cryptocurrencies into the everyday lives of people and companies smoother.
