“In a year characterized by geopolitical uncertainty and a tough macroeconomy, Vimian stayed close to its customers and accelerated organic growth to 11 per cent, ahead of the animal health market. The adjusted EBITA margin improved to 26.3 per cent as Vimian progressed integration of acquired companies and efficiency measures deliver results”, says Patrik Eriksson, CEO of Vimian Group.
Revenue for the fourth quarter increased by 9 per cent to EUR 82.5m (75.5) with organic growth of 7 per cent. Adjusted EBITA reached EUR 22.6m (18.0) at a margin of 27.5 per cent (23.9).
“We deliver a solid fourth quarter with continued good growth and improved profitability. Looking ahead, Vimian’s overall strategy remains unchanged, and we will continue build strong global market positions in niches of the animal health market with unmet medical needs. Entering 2024, we continue to grow organically at high single digits, and see potential for some M&A discussions to pick up momentum during first half of this year. I see significant potential for value creation going forward through both organic and acquisition driven growth”, says Patrik Eriksson.
