Karlsruhe / Berlin, 12 July 2024. IONOS Group SE, the leading European
digitalisation partner for small and medium-sized enterprises, announces its
preliminary half-year results for 2024.

Preliminary revenues increased by 6.1% to EUR751.7 million in the first half
of 2024 (H1 2023: EUR708.6 million). While revenues in the core business
developed as planned in the first six months of 2024, revenues in the
lower-margin aftermarket business fell short of expectations due to
temporary phasing effects in connection with a product launch. Although the
company expects to see a significant increase in revenues in the aftermarket
business as the year progresses, it is unlikely that the 2024 business plan
will be achieved.

The company is therefore adjusting its revenue guidance for the 2024
financial year and now expects to achieve currency-adjusted revenue growth
of around 9% (previously: around 11%; 2023: EUR1.423 billion).

In the first half of 2024, adjusted EBITDA rose as planned by 8.6% to EUR218.1
million (H1 2023: EUR200.8 million) with different phasing of marketing
expenses.

The adjusted EBITDA margin is expected to be around 29% in 2024 (previously
around 28.5%; 2023: 27.4%), which should result in an unchanged adjusted
EBITDA of around EUR450 million (2023: EUR390.3 million).

For 2025, IONOS plans to achieve a percentage increase in revenue of around
10% and a further increase in the adjusted EBITDA margin to around 30%.
