Julian Hull's questions to YUBICO.ST leadership • Q4 2024
Question
Julian Hull requested clarification on the cash flow treatment of a new office lease that appeared in both investing and financing activities, and asked about the revenue recognition timing for perpetual bookings, specifically if the typical 2-3 quarter lag has changed.
Answer
Executive Camilla Oberg explained the IFRS accounting standard for leases, clarifying it is recorded as a non-cash transaction where an asset is recognized and financed by a corresponding lease liability, with cash outflows occurring via normal rent payments. Executive Mattias Danielsson stated that the recent delayed bookings are expected to be recognized as revenue in the next quarter, consistent with typical year-end patterns, and this does not represent a fundamental change to the recognition timeline for large perpetual orders.
