Nuremberg, August 14, 2024: Die Exasol AG, a global technology company and provider of a high-performance analytics database, has confirmed the preliminary figures from the beginning of August in the half-year report 2024 presented today. Annualized recurring revenue (ARR) increased by 11.8% to EUR 39.7 million (June 30, 2023: EUR 35.5 million). Gross new business with new and existing customers amounted to EUR 2.3 million in the first half of the year, which represents a slight increase compared to the same period of the previous year (H1 2023: EUR 2.2 million). The acquisition of new customers also developed positively, increasing to nine (H1 2023: six). Due to the expected increase in the churn rate, particularly as a result of the loss of a major customer in the EMEA region, the ARR temporarily decreased by EUR -1.1 million in the first half of the year compared to the figure as of December 31, 2023. ARR is expected to rise again in the second half of 2024 due to a seasonal increase in new business with existing customers as well as a higher level of new customer acquisition.

Revenue increased by 9.3% to EUR 19.4 million in the first half of 2024 (H1 2023: EUR 17.4 million). At the same time, the share of recurring revenue in total revenue increased to 99.8% (H1 2023: 95.5%). In addition, as previously reported, the company achieved significant earnings growth in the second quarter of 2024, confirming the trend from the first quarter of the year. The operating profit (EBITDA) thus amounted to EUR 0.7 million in the first half of 2024 (H1 2023: EUR -3.4 million*).
