Interim Report Q2 2022: Revenue growth of 59% and EBITDA growth of 190%
Company Announcement no. 12/2022
10 August 2022
The Board of Directors for Wirtek A/S has today approved the interim report for the second quarter of 2022 for the Wirtek Group. The detailed interim report for Q2 2022 is attached to this announcement.
CEO Michael Aaen comments:
We are looking back on yet another quarter with strong revenue growth of 59% and EBITDA growth of 190% during Q2 2022 compared to Q2 2021. Although Wirtek has seen a significant growth effect from the 2021 CoreBuild acquisition, Wirtek still achieved organic growth of 27% during Q2 2022.
We will continue to deliver on our growth strategy and have very recently signed a comprehensive non-binding agreement to acquire a profitable, growth-oriented software company. The expected acquisition is closely aligned with our Accelerate25XL strategy and will strengthen Wirtek’s service offerings while also supporting Wirtek’s international sales expansion.
With continued solid financial performance, Wirtek is well-prepared to face a market situation that is currently challenged by geopolitical uncertainty, a challenging IT job market, high rates of inflation, and potential recession in EU and USA. We maintain our growth expectations for 2022.”
