CANCOM SE: CANCOM publishes Annual Report 2024 and forecast 2025
Munich, Germany, 31 March 2025 - The CANCOM Group increased its consolidated revenue by 14.1 percent to €1,737.6 million in the financial year 2024. Gross profit rose even more significantly, reaching € 693.6 million (previous year: € 582.3 million). In a challenging market environment, EBITDA reached € 113.0 million (previous year: € 115.7 million) and EBITA totalled € 59.6 million (previous year: € 64.1 million). "In a volatile market environment characterised by geopolitical and economic uncertainties, we were able to contribute to strengthening our customers' digital resilience in order to ensure their stability and competitiveness. In combination with the expansion of our omni-channel offering and investments in the field of artificial intelligence, we are confident that we will continue to be their first point of contact for digitalisation topics and AI", says Rüdiger Rath, CEO of CANCOM SE. Growth in the "International" business segment; strong Group cash flow from operating activities The "International" business segment, of which CANCOM Austria AG forms a significant part, was once again able to hold its own. Revenue increased by 55.8 percent to € 602.9 million in the financial year (previous year: € 386.9 million). EBITDA reached a value of € 43.3 million (previous year: € 34.6 million), which corresponds to an EBITDA margin of 7.2 percent. In the "Germany" business segment, revenue remained stable at € 1,134.7 million (previous year: € 1,135.8 million). EBITDA totalled € 69.8 million (previous year: € 81.1 million). This results in an EBITDA margin of 6.1 percent. Cash flow from operating activities of the CANCOM Group developed very positively, totalling € 192.9 million, which was around € 100 million higher than the previous year's figure of € 94.6 million. Share buybacks totalling € 146.7 million (previous year: € 71.6 million) and a dividend payment of € 35.1 million weighted on cash and cash equivalents of € 144.7 million (previous year: € 222.5 million) at the end of the financial year. Constant dividend CANCOM attaches great importance to a stable dividend policy for its shareholders. Based on the solid financial position of the CANCOM Group, the Executive Board and Supervisory Board will again propose an unchanged dividend of €1.00 per share for distribution at the 2025 Annual General Meeting. Intensive focus on customer requirements In 2024, an internal focus was placed on the consistent implementation of strategic goals and alignment with the key focus areas of Artificial Intelligence, Data Centre & Cloud, Security & Connectivity, Internet of Things and Modern Workplace. To this end, parts of the organisation were restructured in order to serve the growing requirements of customers more efficiently. The solution and service portfolio and partner ecosystem for these areas were sharpened and intensified. Furthermore, internal programmes to increase operational excellence and the efficient use of resources have made good progress. Forecast 2025: Growth in uncertain markets The financial year 2024 was characterised by a volatile market environment due to the weak economic development in the private and public sectors and the associated reluctance of customers to make purchases. It is already clear that 2025 will also bring its own challenges. With the focus topics, strategic priorities have been set in order to be the first point of contact for customers in the digitalisation and implementation of AI solutions. CANCOM believes it is very well positioned here with its range of solutions. For the 2025 financial year, CANCOM forecasts the following development for revenue, EBITDA and EBITA:
