Q4 Report 2021
“AutoStore delivered another strong quarter with a revenue growth of 58.3%, an adjusted EBITDA margin of 44.1%, and an impressive order intake of USD 198.4 million, bringing our order backlog to exceed USD 450 million.
This impressive performance by our team and partners brings our 2021 revenue to USD 327.6 million, well above our target of approximately USD 300 million in 2021.
The development proves that AutoStore continues to benefit from a huge, underpenetrated market with high expected growth rates for fast cubic storage. Drivers for the development are a strong macro backdrop of pressure on warehouse costs and productivity, acceleration in e-commerce growth, and labor shortages.
The order intake of USD 198.4 million in the quarter, representing a growth of close to 130% year-over-year, brings the order book to over USD 450 million. The growth and performance in the fourth quarter of 2021 highlight the momentum for AutoStore, with strong demand across regions, end markets, and warehouse categories.
We are confident in our ability to deliver solutions to sustain the revenue growth, despite the current tight market situation for certain parts and materials we are facing. This situation will have some short-term impact on margins.
With the 2021 performance as tailwind on top of our proven expansion strategy, we see significant opportunities for growth acceleration going forward. Consequently, we increase our 2022 revenue guidance from over USD 500 million to USD 550-600 million. And the best has yet to come: The journey has just begun.”
