CEO Mikael Rautanen:
"First-half revenue increased by 5% and the EBITA margin excluding one-offs was 11.3% (11.2%). All business units showed good development in Finland in the first half of the year, and important steps forward have been achieved internationally, such as acquiring new customers in each business unit. The development in the first half of the year was again supported by a successful AGM season.
We have also, however, encountered setbacks along the way, and as we communicated in the Capital Markets Day's strategy update in May, some of the internationalization hypotheses from the previous strategy have proven not to be correct. The most important area of growth investments, namely international revenue, did not grow in the first half of the year, which we are not satisfied with.
Achieving international growth requires a change of pace and adjustments to our operating model. To this end, we conducted extensive strategy work in the spring, which was presented at the Capital Markets Day in May. During the second quarter, we reorganized the events business in Sweden and restructured partnership agreements related to the Financial Hearings acquisition that fell outside the scope of the updated strategy. These arrangements resulted in total one-off costs of 0.6 MEUR for the first half of the year. The changes bring immediate benefits to both efficiency and cost structure. I believe we now have an even stronger foundation for profitable international growth.
Next, we will shift our focus more strongly to commercialization. Sustainable improvements in profitability can primarily be achieved through growth. Following the improvements made during the first half of the year, we are now able to focus more strongly on acquiring new customers and growing existing customer relationships. We have a strong product portfolio, a sharp strategy and there is a clear demand for our solutions in the investor communications market.
Our updated strategy is built around three business units with a clear focus on the investor communications segment: Research, Events and Software. Going forward, we will report the growth and profitability of the business units separately in semi-annual reports. All three business units have continued to strengthen their market position in Finland, as shown in the double digits growth. We are still able to grow in Finland, and in the long term, success in international markets is key to significant value creation.
The international investor communications market is fragmented, and the market lacks a strong specialized player. Inderes' deep understanding of investor communications and the everyday life of investors create a strong foundation to build the most investor-minded company in finance and to continue democratizing investor information internationally."
