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.
audius is also publishing its new medium-term targets for the next three
years till 2026. In addition to the growth opportunities of the current core
business and the investments made last year, these also include additional
growth through acquisitions. audius will continue on the successful course

acquisitions with a focus on profitable growth. The Management Board is
aiming for growth of over 50% to more than EUR 115 million by the end of
