Stuttgart (ots) -

- Revenue at all-time high of 4.1 billion euros (+8% vs. 2022)
- Adjusted EBITDA grew by 7.8%, adjusted EBIT by 12.8%
- 'Strategy 2025' gains momentum: Further growth expected, based on a strong

Artificial Intelligence focus areas

2023 was an excellent year for DEKRA. Global revenue increased significantly to
an all-time high of 4.1 billion euros (+8% vs. 2022: 3.8 billion euros) -
exceeding the company's own expectations and demonstrating strong growth
compared to its industry peers. Earnings grew substantially to yield adjusted
EBITDA of 455.5 million euros (+7.8% vs. 2022) and adjusted EBIT of 255.3
million euros (+12.8% vs. 2022).

On this basis, in 2024, DEKRA plans to fully exploit its early mover advantage
in future technologies and newly established regulations. As its 'Strategy 2025'
gains momentum, revenue growth is expected to be in the mid-single-digit range.
By 2025 , the year of the company's 100th anniversary, DEKRA aims to be the
partner of choice for cutting-edge TIC (testing, inspection, and certification)
services in the growing business areas of Future Mobility, Cyber Security,
Sustainability, and Artificial Intelligence (AI).

"In 2023, DEKRA once again improved its business performance - despite a tense
economic and geopolitical environment," said DEKRA CEO Stan Zurkiewicz at the
company's Annual Press Conference. "All six regions and all Service Divisions
contributed to our strong sales momentum and our all-time revenue high. Our
strong core businesses and our early mover advantage in future topics make us
highly confident that we will grow both revenue and margins, and achieve our
strategic goals."

While DEKRA's Americas (+27%) and Central East Europe & Middle East (+13%)
regions delivered the highest growth rates in 2023, the largest revenue in
absolute terms was generated in the GSA region (Germany, Switzerland, Austria:
2.6 billion euros).

From a business area perspective , vehicle-related services continued to be the
primary source of revenue. DEKRA has, once more, confirmed its role as the
global market leader in vehicle testing with 31.6 million tests carried out.
