Audientes

Audientes A/S has released its Annual Report for 2024, approved by the Board of Directors. The report is prepared on a going concern basis, assuming successful capitalization and funding over the next year. However, the company's auditor, Christensen Kjærulff, expressed reservations about this assumption due to insufficient supporting documentation. For 2024, Audientes reported a revenue of DKK 0.8 million, an EBITDA of DKK -5.4 million, and a net loss of DKK -10.5 million. The company's equity decreased to DKK 1.2 million, and cash reserves were at DKK 10,000. Significant efforts were made to expand internationally, including launching products in China and Japan and forming a joint venture in China. CEO Steen Thygesen highlighted progress in international expansion and product launches, despite modest sales. The company plans to issue bonds in 2025 to support its business strategy and is optimistic about future growth, including new market entries and product innovations. In early 2025, Audientes formed a strategic partnership with Audivista in Turkey and strengthened its capital base through loan conversions and a directed issue. A bond issuance is planned to support ongoing developments. The company's future depends on achieving sales targets and securing additional funding, with various financing and strategic options being considered. Audientes is a Danish company focused on affordable, self-fitting hearing aids. It is listed on the Spotlight Stock Market Denmark and has subsidiaries in India and Japan, with a joint venture in China. The company's financial calendar includes key reporting dates for 2025.

Audientes' Board of Directors has decided to increase capital through a directed issue of new shares to five independent investors without pre-emptive rights for existing shareholders, raising approximately DKK 0.44 million. The subscription price per share is DKK 0.010, with a 23% discount applied based on the Volume-Weighted Average Price. The funds will support operational expenses. Additionally, a capital increase will occur through debt conversion, converting approximately DKK 0.78 million in debt into shares on the same terms. This move aims to strengthen the balance sheet and support operations. The share capital increase will result in 121,690,900 new shares, causing a dilution effect of about 27%. Costs associated with the capital increase are expected to be around DKK 50,000. Following these changes, certain shareholders will see alterations in their ownership percentages.
