In a strategic decision by the management team and the board of SMART VALOR AG, the company is transitioning from a quarterly to a half-annual reporting schedule. This adjustment aligns with the Nasdaq First North Rule Book, which mandates companies to prepare and disclose financial information at least on a half-year basis. As per Nasdaq requirements, the company will now disclose a half-year report, a year-end report, and an annual report.
The rationale behind this decision stems from the cyclical nature of the crypto trading business. SMART VALOR has proactively reduced operating costs by more than half compared to the previous year. Closing accounts twice a year instead of four times will further contribute to cost savings.
In light of the modified reporting schedule, the reporting calendar will no longer include the publication of Q3 and Q1 reports. Instead, SMART VALOR will release a 1st half-yearly interim report covering the first six months (January through June) and a 2nd half-yearly interim report covering the second half of the year (July through December). Consequently, there will be no Q3 2023 report, but the 2nd half-annual report and the year-end report for 2023, which will be published on March 30, 2024.
Acknowledging that this change may result in reduced transparency about the company's financial performance for shareholders, SMART VALOR commits to compensating with regular updates on business development through press releases, blog posts, and media coverage.
