Unaudited IFRS consolidated sales totaled €3 million, down 28% on the previous year. Against the economic and geopolitical backdrop of 2023, customers were cautious in their digital transformation investments. Even so, AMA maintained its order intake at 3.4 million euros.

AMA has worked with over 450 customers (vs. 490 in 2022). Churn (attrition rate) is limited to 9% of sales, reflecting the continued loyalty of major customers in various sectors, such as Alstom, Merck, Boehringer Ingelheim, KPMG, Michelin, Solvay, AkzoNobel, Konica Minolta, Sodexo and numerous medical institutions.

The 4th quarter of 2023 was particularly dynamic, with orders up 55% year-on-year amounting to 1.3 million euros. Sales were boosted by the launch at the end of the 1st half of 2023 of the "Enterprise Model", an offer featuring license packages and volume pricing, facilitating the adoption of XpertEye solutions. Signing new multi-year contracts will impact revenues in the coming years.

Innovation capacity focused on interoperability and artificial intelligence (AI)

AMA maintains a strong capacity for innovation to enhance the productivity of mobile workers and their colleagues in the office. Thanks to these advances, AMA's XpertEye is positioned as an essential solution for integrating AI into business and industry processes.

For the first-quarter of 2024 AMA deploys:

Data Locker API for improved data accessibility and AI-driven analysis. It enables all data generated with XpertEye to be stored securely. It is designed to meet companies' evolving needs for data management and use in a perfectly secure environment.

AI Report automatically generates AI-enhanced meeting reports. It improves efficiency, knowledge sharing, and decision-making processes. It stems from the partnership initiated with ARIANN (Advanced Research In Artificial Neural Networks) in March 2023, which continues into 2024.

Stock option plan for employees and corporate officers

To encourage employee loyalty and interest in AMA's development, the company has set up a stock option plan in January 2022, representing 5% of AMA's share capital at that date. The stock options have a term of 6 years and are exercisable after 2 years from the date of grant, subject to a presence condition. To date, 878,500 stock options are exercisable, representing 1.7% of AMA's share capital. On January 8, 2024, the Board of Directors, in accordance with clause 16.2 of the plan, approved a revision of the price of the stock options (by issuing new options that cancel and replace the previous ones) to preserve the incentive value, by reducing the exercise price from €2.03 to €0.21.

Outlook

The strategic direction taken by AMA at the end of 2023, aimed at integrating AI into XpertEye for continuous improvement in the interoperability and productivity of its solutions, suggests a wider adoption of its solutions can be expected in 2024.
