Weinstadt, April 24, 2024. Today audius SE published its annual report for the past financial year, confirming the previously announced business figures.

According to the report, the audius Group achieved a total operating performance of EUR 78.4 million, an increase of 6% (previous year: EUR 73.4 million). At EUR 7.6 million, the operating result (EBITDA) was only 4% lower than in the previous year (previous year: EUR 7.9 million).

The main reasons for the decline in the margin were the disproportionately high increase in personnel costs and other operating expenses in relation to total operating performance. In addition to the general cost increases, audius invested heavily in the development of new future-oriented topics in the reporting year, such as the new Mobile Device Management business and the development of product solutions in combination with artificial intelligence approaches. At the same time, the Group has also positioned itself for further growth in the coming years by investing in its own organization.

Group EBIT amounted to EUR 5.7 million and was slightly below the previous year (previous year: EUR 6.2 million). At EUR 3.5 million, the consolidated net profit for the year was slightly below the previous year's figure of EUR 3.8 million. As the profit attributable to minority interests decreased, the net profit for the year after minority interests of EUR 3.4 million remained almost at the previous year's level of EUR 3.5 million. Cash flow from operating activities developed positively and increased to EUR 2.9 million (previous year: EUR 2.5 million).
