LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE MANAGEMENT BOARD
Dear Investors,
As we close the first half of 2025, I am pleased to report on a period of solid progress and disciplined execution.
Our results for the first six months show revenues of PLN 23.8 million (USD 6.2 million), representing a 118%
increase over the same period last year and nearly matching our full-year revenues for 2024. This performance
is a direct validation of the strategic transformations we have implemented in our go-to-market approach, pricing,
and focus on enterprise-level clients. However, while we are encouraged by this momentum, we remain grounded.
Our annual objectives are contingent on the successful closure of key, high-value contracts in the second half of the
year, and our focus is squarely on that execution.
We've successfully navigated a difficult period with a strong focus on fiscal discipline. To illustrate, our fixed
operational and R&D expenses are similar to last year's levels. This was a conscious decision, as we carefully
delayed any extra spending. That period of restraint lasted until the Q1/Q2 2025 timeframe, when our business was
boosted by a few key commercial wins, most notably the Rabobank deal, and a successful fundraising round. These
accomplishments allowed us to shift our focus and start making pinpointed, targeted investments, which began
in Q2 2025. We are committed to investing in a disciplined manner tied to specific triggers. This approach will
enable us to grow our business responsibly and keep our annual cost increase at a modest rate of approximately 20%,
based on our current data trajectory.
The primary prerequisite for accelerating our investment is our capacity to effectively scale our management
layer and further streamline our onboarding processes. Mastering this internal scalability is crucial before we can
significantly increase our hiring pace to match our growth ambitions, ensuring that our expansion is both sustainable
and efficient.
This operational progress is amplified by a significant shift in the broader technology landscape, which
increasingly recognizes the foundational importance of Knowledge Graphs. As highlighted in Gartner's AI Hype
Cycle, Knowledge Graphs have advanced to the "Slope of Enlightenment", signaling a maturation beyond hype and
into productive, mainstream adoption. This industry trend validates our long-held conviction: to unlock the true
potential of AI and complex analytics, organizations must move beyond flattening data into rows and columns. Our
platform, with its Knowledge Graph core, is purpose-built to preserve the intricate web of meaning, context, and
relationships that is essential for generating high-fidelity insights and powering effective AI models. This growing
market understanding serves as a significant tailwind, increasing the demand for our unique capabilities.
This ability to model and compute context-rich, interconnected data is precisely what makes our platform
a fundamental component of the modern AI stack. We reinforced this position in the first half of 2025 with the
launch of DataWalk Platform Version 5.0. This major release was architected with a primary focus on the
infrastructure demands of large enterprise environments. By introducing official support for containerized
deployments, we have significantly simplified scaling and management of our platform, aligning with modern
cloud-native practices and further cementing our big data capabilities. Version 5.0 also delivered a leap forward
in many of our core functionalities, such as next-generation Entity Extraction. Leveraging state-of-the-art AI models,
this advancement provides our clients with unprecedented accuracy in creating a single, unified view from disparate
data sources.
While Large Language Models (LLMs) and Generative AI represent the latest frontier, enabling AI is not new
to DataWalk; our clients have deployed machine learning, neural networks, natural language processing (NLP)
and graph algorithms on our platform for many years. We are now advancing this capability by integrating LLMs
and GenAI to enable automated workflows and agentic AI at an enterprise scale. We are on track to begin beta tests
of this new functionality with select customers in Q4 2025, with the intent to introduce it as a new, licensable
capability in our 2026 offering.
We also reinforced our commitment to the highest operational standards. In the first half of 2025, we successfully
achieved both the EcoVadis certification, recognizing our structured approach to sustainability and responsible
business practices, and the ISO 27001 certification for our Information Security Management System. These
milestones formally validate our dedication to robust data protection and corporate responsibility, reinforcing
the trust our enterprise clients place in us.
In summary, the first half of the year has demonstrated that our strategy is sound and our execution is delivering
results. We are managing our growth prudently, our core technology is aligning perfectly with key market trends,
