Düsseldorf. August 12. 2024 ecotel closed the first half-year 2024 as planned with rising revenue. Group sales grew by EUR 5.2 million to EUR 56.8 million in the first half of the year. The recently acquired major orders are currently being realized and are slowly contributing to sales. Sales at B2B-Segment rose accordingly by EUR 0.5 million to EUR 23.2 million in the first half of the year. The investments made in growth are therefore having a positive effect on sales development. Growth also continued in the Wholesale segment. EUR 33.6 million was generated here (previous year: EUR 28.9 million). Gross profit amounted to EUR 16.0 million (previous year: EUR 16.2 million). In the previous year, temporary purchase price advantages from a major supplier at B2B-Segment in the amount of EUR 0.4 million contributed to gross profit. Operating EBITDA of EUR 3.5 million was achieved in the first half of 2024 (previous year: EUR 5.3 million). In a year-on-year comparison, it should be noted that 1.4 million from the transfer of internet resources was included in operating EBITDA in the first six months of 2023. As a result, a consolidated net profit of EUR 0.7 million (previous year: EUR 6.7 million) was achieved for the first half of 2024. Comparability with the first half of 2023 is only possible to a limited extent, as income from the deconsolidation of the nacamar segment (EUR 1.8 million) and one-off. non-forecast income from the transfer of internet resources (EUR 3.8 million) are included in the previous year's result. The negative free cash flow (EUR-1.8 million) in the first half of the year is due to investments in the expansion of the cloud and fiber product platforms and upfront investments for major projects currently being implemented. As a result, net financial assets decreased to EUR 1.3 million. The Management Board continues to stand by its forecast for the financial year 2024, which is included in the forecast report in the annual report 2023.
