Report for January-March 2022
Letter from the Chairman of the Board
We hereby file the UCP Quarterly Report for Q1 2022. The complete report can be viewed here. In addition to the report, we want to highlight the following in the UCP group development.
Net revenues
Net revenues the three months ending March 31, 2022, are up 23% compared to the same period last year. This is due both to wins made the last quarter of year 2021 and a very successful first quarter on sales. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company contracted many new clients (+13) and also sold new projects and services to current clients.
The return of the market from the state of the pandemic has also brought with it an increased demand for digital transformation and digital specialist services. This is a positive opportunity as we now have access to +1,000 digital specialists, as well as tech and state of the art tools and systems within Making Science. This said, the ongoing war in Ukraine and the increasing inflation is already having and will continue to have an increasing impact on clients' businesses (shortage of material, distribution challenges, reduced sales) and budgets to invest in marketing. We are well equipped for the future and are incorporating the expected tougher market conditions into our business plan.
Gross profit and result of operations
Gross profit has increased 11% year to date compared to the same period 2021. This is a result of selling more consulting services not directly linked to handling media billings.
The operations generated a profit of $140,000 the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to a loss of $327,000 the same period last year. The selling, general and administrative expenses of the operations have decreased 30% year to date compared with the same period in year 2021. The review of our organizational set-up and staffing conducted the second half of year 2021 resulted in a decision to have a smaller top management, to clear out parts that were not profitable and to review our overhead costs, which has resulted in significant savings this year. The selling, general and administrative expenses share of net revenues is 7.6% the first quarter compared to 13.4% last year. We will invest part of the made savings the coming months in new hires of top-of-the class resources to meet the demand for specific services and strengthening our offering and to have sufficient resources to secure delivery of our services to our clients as our client base is growing.
Profit before taxes and minority interest
Profit before taxes and minority interest year to date is $86,000 compared to a loss of $395,000 in 2021. The profit available to shareholders by March 31, 2022, is $81,000.
We will continue our strategy of development and sales of new and current services while maintaining our focus on remaining a front runner in data driven digital media agency services and supporting our clients in attaining their objectives, through the right and creative solutions providing return on their investments. We are convinced this strategy will enable us to fulfil the objective of long-term growth and profitability for the Company.
As one of the two former main shareholders I want to inform you that both of us passionately believe that selling our shares enabling UCP to become part of Making Science group is the right decision for the Company. It will strengthen UCP and its subsidiaries and give the UCP group a competitive edge in the market now and in the future. Making Science is a renowned leading, fast growing, award winning, tech and digital consulting company. Since the completion of the acquisition in the end of February, we have an excellent and close co-operation with our new colleagues. We have identified joint opportunities and synergies. We are looking forward to work within Making Science. We are also very pleased that we may continue to lead UCP as directors of the board.
