Consolidated Audited Accounts
2024

Letter from the CEO | Javier Mira |
As Facephi's CEO, I have a duty to ensure that the information we share with the marketplace is accurate, reliable and transparent. We would like to report that, after a thorough audit process, we have identified certain discrepancies regarding a turnover adjustment with our auditing firm. This adjustment amounts to €25.15M compared to the €30M
announced in our February 2024 earnings preview for the last financial year.
This variance relates to the recognition of revenue related to the delivery of licences, where their delivery and subsequent availability took place in 2023, although the formalisation of the agreements took place at the beginning of 2024.
The auditing firm's recommendation is that this revenue should be recognised in the current financial year. Such a change in the measurement approach to standardise the income statement is a practice that had not been applied in previous reviews, where the availability of products to customers had been considered as a benchmark for revenue recognition.
I would like to stress that these differences do not compromise Facephi's financial strength or strategic orientation. Over the past year, we have seen unprecedented growth, which can be illustrated by the positive evolution of the figures in this document. Equally, significant investments have supported this growth, both in technology and human talent, as well as our commitment to international expansion.
This has a direct impact on the current year's turnover. Thus, during the first four months of 2024, we have achieved a turnover of €25.15M, compared to the €22.24M recorded in the same period in 2023, which represents an increase of 12.88% compared to the period between 2022 and 2023.
By adopting our financial auditors' recommendations and accounting criteria, we took steps to change our revenue recognition model, aligned with our new product profiles and consistent with our growth and consolidation plan. We firmly believe that this measure will not only allow us to address the variables identified but will also strengthen our ability to adapt and thrive in a constantly evolving business environment.
Once again, I would like to express my confidence in the strength of our company, as well as in our team's commitment and dedication. Together, we can learn from this experience to become stronger, focusing on further establishing our position in the marketplace.
We are grateful for your continued support and understanding during this period. Facephi is committed to open and transparent communication that builds trust and ensures a promising future together.
