Transformation to higher gross margins characterizes the first quarter of 2024

Munich, May 06, 2024 – Allgeier SE (ISIN DE000A2GS633, WKN A2GS63) generated Group revenue of EUR 113 million in the first quarter of 2024 (January 1, 2024 - March 31, 2024) according to preliminary figures (previous year: EUR 124 million). The reduction in revenue compared to the first quarter of the prior year is mainly due to the gradual reduction of low-margin business in the Personnel Services business unit since the second quarter of 2023. The Allgeier Group's gross profit (defined as total operating performance less the cost of sales and personnel expenses directly attributable to sales) remained stable at EUR 39 million in the first three months of 2024 (previous year: EUR 40 million). This resulted in a higher gross margin of 33.7% (previous year: 31.5%). Adjusted EBITDA (EBITDA before effects that are classified as extraordinary or relating to other accounting periods) amounted to EUR 11.2 million (previous year: EUR 12.5 million), corresponding to an adjusted EBITDA margin of 9.8% (previous year: 10.0%). EBITDA for the first quarter of 2024 amounted to EUR 10.7 million (previous year: EUR 12.0 million), corresponding to an EBITDA margin of 9.4% (previous year: 9.6%).
