Q2 2024 earnings summary6 Aug, 2024

Executive summary

  • Q2 2024 marked the last analyst call before delisting, following Oda's offer and majority stake acquisition exceeding 77%.

  • Revenue declined 12% year-over-year to €133.7 million in H1 2024, mainly due to lower B2C and HR Solutions revenues and a weak labor market.

  • Restructuring and cost management improved margins and led to a 400-person workforce reduction, with focus on XING and kununu brands.

  • CFO Ingo Chu announced he will not extend his contract, leaving after mid-2025.

  • XING's repositioning as a jobs network and kununu's market leadership contributed to strategic progress.

Financial highlights

  • Pro forma EBITDA was €17M (27% margin) in Q2; H1 2024 pro forma EBITDA was €26.5M, down from €40.8M year over year.

  • Net loss for H1 2024 was €-7.8M; pro forma net profit was €10.5M.

  • Operating cash flow was slightly negative at -€1.1M in Q2, mainly due to severance payments; H1 cash flow from operations was €6.4M.

  • Regular dividend payout of €5.6M; total free cash flow including dividends was -€11.1M.

Outlook and guidance

  • Full-year pro forma EBITDA guidance of €55M–€65M confirmed.

  • Sales target of €270M–€280M remains valid.

  • Revenue and earnings targets for H1 2024 are in line with full-year guidance, except for B2B Marketing Solutions.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
