STOCKHOLM, May 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Truecaller, the leading global platform for verifying contacts and blocking unwanted communication, is proud to report growth in net sales of 116 percent combined with an adjusted EBITDA margin of 45.5 percent in the first quarter of 2022.
“The beginning of 2022 was characterized by continued strong user growth. Our app was during the quarter one of the twenty most downloaded apps globally and about 80 percent of our 310 million Monthly active users use our platform daily. We are proud to help users and businesses benefit from a safer and more efficient communication experience everyday. The year began on a very strong note, with net sales growth of 116 percent in Q1 and an adjusted EBITDA margin of 45.5 percent. Investments in our AdTech platform and growing demand for our relatively new B2B product, Truecaller for Business, contributed to strong development this quarter. In a world characterized by uncertainty with developments such as the war in Ukraine, rising inflation, and interest rates and the Covid pandemic, Truecaller continues to stand its ground. We have seen no direct adverse financial impacts of such external factors on our business. On the contrary, unlike many other fast-growing technology companies, we continue to maintain a strong financial position, with a very strong cash flow and almost SEK 2 billion available for investments, giving us good opportunities to act when attractive opportunities arise. We intend to take advantage of such opportunities to further strengthen our market position, our product, and our services, and to achieve our long-term growth goals more quickly”, says Alan Mamedi, CEO of Truecaller.
