Q3 2024 revenue fell 22% year-over-year, mainly due to weak energy storage and EV charging segments, while gross margin improved from a one-off effect. Cost-saving and restructuring measures are underway, with 2024 revenue guidance confirmed at the lower end and limited growth expected for 2025.
-
Revenue grew 10% year-over-year to EUR 245.7 million, but margins and EBITDA declined due to one-off provisions and higher costs.

-
Revenue and EBITDA guidance for 2024 have been significantly lowered due to delayed energy system deals and market headwinds, with additional one-off costs impacting profitability. Constructive talks with banks are ongoing to address a covenant breach, and strategic realignment is underway.
