"The second quarter showed satisfying financial results, demonstrating steady progress in delivering on our strategy as well as our long-term vision to empower entertainment discovery everywhere. We achieved continued growth throughout the business with revenue growing by 52 per cent to DKK 8.0M on a constant currency basis.
