Geography

The group is headquartered in Denmark but operates as a global software business with revenue exposure outside its home market. The annual report excerpts point to tax and financing exposure in Ireland and the United States, suggesting those are meaningful operating jurisdictions alongside the broader international customer base.

Risks

Key risks stem from operating a global software business with cross-border tax, financing, and customer-concentration exposure. The report also highlights currency, interest-rate, and credit risk, plus uncertainty around deferred tax asset recoverability in Ireland and the United States.
