visibility and that the SBC element must be addressed. Market capitalisation (USDm) 828
Enterprise value (USDm) 746
There is considerable downside as FCF w/o working capital No of shares, fully diluted (m) 489.3
(growth) and SBC is ~USD 5m. Although the shares might be
more attractive for General Atlantic for a takeover, Kahoot
still trades at a relatively high sales multiple (5.1x ’22).

12 months share price performance:


Significant growth deceleration and guidance miss in Q4 Price Close Oslo Stock Ex change Benchmark Index

rebased

Kahoot released a PW as it sees preliminary Q4 invoiced revenue at USD 43.5m 48.0


vs its USD 50-55m guidance provided on 3 November. The y-y growth of USD 43.0
3.8m (10%) vs its USD 5.3-10.3m (26-39%) guidance illustrates the significance of 38.0
the miss and questions whether this can be solely attributed to macro will be 33.0
raised, particularly in light of “easy comps” as Kahoot in Q4’21 explained its 28.0
guidance miss as due to lockdowns in December. Moreover, Clever invoiced 23.0
revenue was flat y-y (ARCe: +37%. Q3: +46%) with no explanation provided. Core 18.0
Kahoot grew 15% y-y (ARCe: 21%) and although it added 60k subscribers (ARCe: 13.0
58k) the implied ARPU was only USD 5.7/month (ARCe: USD 8.3). Jan-22 Mar-22 May-22 Jul-22 Sep-22 Nov-22

KAHOT NO -27.4% -17.2% -59.6%
Consensus estimates have a long way down although visibility is poor
OSEBX 4.4% -0.1% -0.5%
We have revised growth on the Clever and Kahoot Work (core) segments down
Source: Bloomberg
and now model 17% invoiced revenue growth in 2023 (14% revenue growth). We
also revise down OPEX, now assuming 5% FTE growth (Kahoot has guided 10%).
This leaves our adj. EBITDA and OpFCF down 11-15% for 2023-2024. The former
is 22-27% below consensus. However, visibility is poor in our view.

We remain cautious to FCF multiples due to equity dilution (SBC)


On our 2023e and NOK 17/sh, Kahoot trades at 12x FCF but 35x our adj. EBIT.
The main risk to using a FCF multiple is that this is boosted by NWC (growth)
and SBC (annualized dilution YTD is 4.4% of 9% potentially). Excluding this, FCF
is close to 0 today. Our NOK 16 TP is based on our DCF (11% WACC) and SOTP.
