Stuttgart, 7 March 2024: Following the completion of planning, GFT Technologies SE (GFT) announces its outlook for the financial year 2024. Accordingly, GFT expects revenue growth of 15% to € 920 million and an increase in adjusted EBIT of 16% to € 85 million. EBT is forecasted to increase by 6% to € 72 million. All forecast figures include the contributions from the acquisition of Sophos Solutions S.A.S., which was completed in February.

The outlook for revenues and adjusted EBIT is in line with market expectations. The forecast for EBT includes acquisition-related effects from the Sophos takeover totalling € 9.5 million and is therefore below market expectations despite an increase compared to the previous year.

According to preliminary calculations, GFT achieved revenue growth of 10% to € 801.74 million in the financial year 2023 (2022: € 730.14 million) and an increase in adjusted EBIT of 9% to € 73.33 million (€ 67.48 million). EBT improved by 3% to € 68.0 million (€ 66.05 million) despite burdens from special effects.
