Achievements

NEURONES once again achieved double-digit growth in 2023 (+11.4%, of which +11.1% organic), while net income stood at 7.9% of revenues (7.8% in 2022).

Free cash flow rose sharply, thanks to a virtually stable working capital requirement, even after significant investment in the new SecNumCloud sovereign and secure cloud platform. Capex amounted to €17.9 million (previous year: €10.6 million).

Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the year stood at €290.4 million (€12 per share).

Outlook

As usual, forecasts for the current year will be posted along with the Group's 1^st quarter revenues (on May 15, after trading). Driven by solid underlying trends (cloud and digital), NEURONES is well positioned to achieve another year of profitable growth.

At the Shareholders' Meeting on June 6, the Board will suggest paying a dividend of €1.2 per share for 2023.
