“We realised revenue growth of 7.6% (constant 7.4%) and adjusted EBITDA margin of 16.8% (constant 16.9%) in 2024, which was another year of high macro and geopolitically uncertainty.
I am pleased to see the impacts of our significant investment into our operation materialising in continued growth and an improvement of more than 53% in our earnings compared to last year. This, combined with the significant work spent on business development in the last quarter of the year comforts me in Netcompany’s ability to deliver continued growth and margin expansion going forward.
During the year we have welcomed more than 1,700 new employees to our Group and at the end of 2024 we were more than 8,250 impressive individuals whom, together with our customers, will pave the way forward for continued success – for all parties.
Despite the continued uncertainty on both macro and geopolitical matters we expect to grow between 5% and 10%, and deliver an adjusted EBITDA margin of between 16% and 19% in 2025. At the same time, we reiterate our mid-term adjusted EBITDA margin target of 20%, but defer the timing for realising DKK 8.5bn in revenue to 2027. We remain committed to a total redistribution of cash of at least DKK 2bn to our shareholders by 2026, however, due to ongoing strategic considerations we are not initiating a new share buyback programme at this particular point in time.
These are truly exiting times, and I look forward to continue to grow Netcompany successfully with all our stakeholders in 2025.”
André Rogaczewski,
Netcompany CEO and Co-founder
