Weinstadt, April 27, 2023. audius SE today published its annual report for the past financial year, confirming the previously announced business figures. 

According to the report, the audius Group achieved a total operating performance of Euro 73.9 million, an increase of 26% (previous year Euro 58.6 million). The operating result (EBITDA) reached Euro 7.9 million, an increase of 18% (previous year Euro 6.7 

Group EBIT amounted to Euro 6.2 million, an increase of almost 19% (previous year Euro 5.2 million). Net income after minorities amounted to Euro 3.5 million and corresponded to earnings per share of Euro 0.70 (previous year Euro 0.61). Cash flow from operating activities amounted to Euro 2.5 million (previous year Euro 4.6 million).

The equity ratio as of the balance sheet date was a very solid 58.4% (previous year 67.5%). The reason for the decline was a significant increase in total assets to 37.4 million euros (previous year 29.1 million euros) as a result of the acquisitions made in the year under review. The Group's cash and cash equivalents amounted to 12.1 million euros, which means that audius continues to have a high level of net liquidity. 

The order backlog as of December 31, 2022 once again increased significantly by EUR 12.3 million to EUR 50.3 million (previous year: EUR 38 million). 

The Management Board and Supervisory Board of audius SE will propose a dividend of 0.35 euros per share (previous year: 0.30 euros per share) for the 2022 financial year at the Annual General Meeting on June 28, 2023. The dividend will thus again be increased in line with the development of earnings per share and shareholders will continue to participate directly in the company's success.
