EQS-News: Vectron Systems AG: Vectron continues operative upward trend with a strong 3rd quarter

Münster, 19 October 2023: Vectron Systems AG (Vectron), a leading provider of intelligent POS systems and cloud services, with a focus on the catering and bakery sectors, has determined the preliminary figures for the first nine months of the fiscal year 2023 according to IFRS standards. In comparison with the same period of previous year, current figures include results of the 100 per cent stake in acardo. 

Against previous year, cumulative consolidated revenues per Sep 30th rose by around 52.4 percent from EUR 18.3 million to EUR 27.9 million. At the same time, after a negative EBITDA of EUR -2.6 million (9M 2022), Vectron group now generated a positive EBITDA of around EUR 2.8 million.

In addition to acardo’s positive contribution, recurring revenues in the original Vectron business were a key driver for the positive group result. During the first nine months of 2023, Vectron’s recurring revenues increased by 48 percent to EUR 9.6 million.

Q3 2023 results were also influenced by a release of provisions at acardo for an amount of EUR 0.4 million. "Even without this extraordinary effect, we are very satisfied with Q3 results, as the summer quarter is usually a rather quiet one. Furthermore, we are pleased that both business units were able to contribute positive EBITDA during Q3 2023. We see both businesses on a good way to reach their targets", explains Thomas Stümmler, founder and CEO of Vectron Systems AG.
