In its consolidated financial statements, adesso SE has confirmed the preliminary figures for 2022 that were published in mid-February. Group sales grew strongly again year on year, lifting the total figure by 33 % to a new record of EUR 900.3 million. Of that growth, 29 percentage points were organic. Accordingly, EBITDA stood at EUR 92.9 million (previous year: EUR 102.0 million). Excluding the non-recurring effect of EUR 17.9 million from a company sale in 2021, operating earnings (EBITDA) rose by 10 %. In addition to the capacity utilisation delays caused by the high pace of growth, as well as investments in corporate culture and infrastructure, significantly higher rates of sick leave in 2022 following the wide-scale lifting of COVID-19 protection measures prevented a greater increase in EBITDA. At 10.3 %, the EBITDA margin fell slightly short of the target corridor of 11 % to 12 %, whereas EBITDA and sales forecasts were achieved or exceeded.
