Adjusted EBITDA margin was 16.3% in Q2 2024 (constant 16.4%) compared to 13.1% in Q2 2023.Average number of full-time employees increased by 186 FTEs from 7,699 in Q2 2023 to 7,884 in Q2 2024.Free cash flow was DKK 148.2m in Q2 2024 compared to negative DKK 72.5m in Q2 2023. Cash conversion ratio was 104.7% in Q2 2024. Debt leverage was 1.5x in Q2 2024.Netcompany maintains expectations for full year.

"In Q2, we grew revenue by 10.2% driven by continued recovery in the Danish part of the Group as well as strong growth in Netcompany-Intrasoft and in the Netherlands. In addition, we continued to win new large projects based on our products and platforms.

As anticipated, margins continued to improve, and in Q2 we realised a margin of 16.4% and more than doubled our net result compared to the same period last year. The improved margins are a result of improved efficiencies and better utilisation, particular in the Danish part of the Group.

We have continued to hire outstanding talent throughout the quarter, giving a 2.4% growth in FTEs compared to the same period last year and end of Q2 the total number of FTEs passed 7,900.

It makes me proud and humble to see the results our employees deliver in a business environment that continues to be somewhat uncertain. We maintain our expectations to our financial performance for 2024 and initiate a new share buyback programme of DKK 150m running until the end of October 2024, and increase the expected share buyback programme for the full year to more than DKK 700m.

The performance in the past quarter makes me confident that we are on the right trajectory to deliver on our midterm targets for 2026."
