Q2 2023 IFRS financial results
Revenue in Q2 2023 was down 5.1% to EUR 170.2 million from EUR 179.4 million in Q1 2023 and was up 2.3% compared to EUR 166.3 million in Q2 2022. The US Dollar depreciation negatively impacted both year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter revenue. The decrease compared to the previous quarter was mainly due to a softening in demand compared to a strong Q1 2023.
Pro forma gross profit in Q2 2023 was up 3.2% to EUR 60.2 million (35.4% of revenues) from EUR 58.4 million (32.5% of revenues) in Q1 2023 and increased by 10.9% from EUR 54.3 million (32.7% of revenues) in the year-ago quarter. The margin increase is due to lower procurement costs related to the recovery of supply bottlenecks and the US Dollar depreciation.
Pro forma EBIT in Q2 2023 was EUR 12.1 million (7.1% of revenues), up 24.3% from EUR 9.7 million (5.4% of revenues) in Q1 2023. Compared to the year-ago quarter, pro forma operating income increased by 87.9% from EUR 6.4 million (3.9% of revenues). The increase in pro forma EBIT is mainly due to the improvement in gross margin.
Operating income increased by 29.0% from EUR 6.2 million in Q1 2023 to EUR 8.0 million in Q2 2023 and increased by 72.6% compared to EUR 4.7 million in Q2 2022.
Net income was EUR 3.3 million in Q2 2023, down 9.3% compared to EUR 3.6 million in Q1 2023 and down 54.9% compared to EUR 7.3 million in Q2 2022. The decrease in net income was due to higher tax charges in Q2 2023.
The company’s cash and cash equivalents decreased by EUR 18.6 million to EUR 48.6 million compared to EUR 67.2 million at the end of Q1 2023 and decreased by EUR 14.6m million compared to EUR 63.2 million in Q2 2022.
The company’s net debt increased by EUR 9.2 million from EUR 24.3 million in Q1 2023 to EUR 33.5 million in Q2 2023 and increased by EUR 32.5 million compared to EUR 0.9 million in Q2 2022.
Management commentary

Cox Capital Announces Tender Offers for Class I Shares of Blackstone Private Credit Fund and HPS Corporate Lending Fund23.9.2026 13:00:00 EEST | Press release
Cox Capital Partners (“Cox Capital”) announced today that Cox Capital Retail Secondaries Fund I, LP (the “Purchaser”), a private investment fund managed by an affiliate of Cox Capital, has commenced two separate cash tender offers to purchase Class I shares of Blackstone Private Credit Fund (“BCRED”) and HPS Corporate Lending Fund (“HLEND”). Both funds recently reported that their Q3 2026 repurchase programs were substantially oversubscribed. BCRED and HLEND received repurchase requests representing an estimated 10% and 11.5%, respectively, of shares outstanding. The funds’ established frameworks generally target quarterly repurchases of 5% of shares outstanding, although the amount may be increased at the discretion of the applicable fund. Cox Capital developed its secondary program to provide shareholders with an additional path to liquidity when a fund's own quarterly repurchase program does not satisfy their full request. The offers are independent of the target funds and do not mo

Mentimeter Launches Three New Tools for Better Leadership23.9.2026 10:00:00 EEST | Press release
Mentimeter is launching an engagement suite with three new tools: Menti Live, Menti Form and Menti Pulse. Through interaction, insights and recommendations, the new suite enables organizations to engage people live, collect input asynchronously and track important signals over time. Today’s launch expands Mentimeter’s platform beyond live presentations, helping turn participation into new ways of understanding what people think, know and need. “Most organizations have plenty of data, but surprisingly little understanding of what their people actually think. These new tools give leaders a way to turn participation into company-wide performance – in the room, afterward and over time. That creates better input for action and, ultimately, better leadership,” says Johnny Warström, CEO and founder of Mentimeter. Three tools for different moments of engagement Menti Form collects input asynchronously. It allows for shared reflection and gives people the opportunity to contribute regardless of
