Weinstadt, March 7, 2024. audius SE can look back on another record year with its preliminary figures. As in previous years, the company succeeded in further increasing its total operating performance in the financial year 2023 despite the challenging economic conditions.

According to preliminary unaudited figures, the audius Group achieved a total output of EUR 78.4 million, an increase of 6% (previous year: EUR 73.9 million). The operating result (EBITDA) reached EUR 7.6 million and was therefore slightly below the previous year's figure (previous year: EUR 7.9 million). Despite a general increase in costs, investments in the new business area “Mobile Device Management” and a high sickness rate in the second half of the year, the EBITDA margin remained at approximately 10%.

The order backlog as of December 31, 2023 also developed very positively with a further increase to EUR 56.8 million (previous year: EUR 50.3 million).

Based on the high order backlog, audius plans to continue its growth course unchanged in the current year. Total operating performance is expected to increase organically to over EUR 85 million. The company anticipates a rising margin compared to the previous year and expects an operating result EBITDA of more than EUR 8.5 million.
