Fiscal Year 2024
-

Q3 2024 saw worsening growth erosion due to last-minute project cancellations, especially in automotive and aerospace, with turnover reaching €3.117 billion and organic growth nearly flat. Outlook for Q4 and 2025 remains negative, with no signs of recovery and continued client uncertainty.
