AUSTRIACARD HOLDINGS Investor Day 2025
Delivering sustainable and profitable growth
May 8, 2025 – AUSTRIACARD HOLDINGS (ACAG), an international applied
technology group headquartered in Vienna and listed in the Athens and
Vienna Stock Exchanges under the symbol ACAG, presented its "Path to
Growth" yesterday at the Investors Day 2025.
The management team outlined the company's growth strategy and shared its
medium-term financial targets for the next three years.
Today's updates are the foundation for the company's growth and strategic
priorities. Over the past few years, AUSTRIACARD has enhanced its products
and organizational capabilities, resulting in strong growth and
significant improvements in profitability.
The company has transformed from a leading payment solutions provider into
an applied technology provider specialising in digital technologies,
empowered by AI. The GaiaB platform and Agentic AI solutions deliver
advanced capabilities for digitization and automation, serving both public
and private sectors across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
AUSTRIACARD maintains a leading position in its traditional business,
which is card payment solutions.
Management discussed the anticipated challenges from 2025 onwards, as well
as the opportunities that lie ahead.
These opportunities are central to our strategy, which is built on three
key growth pillars:
1. Geographical Expansion: This involves targeting key markets and
assessing their expected contributions in the medium term.
2. Market Share Expansion: This includes initiatives to drive growth,
such as investments in our organizational structure and pursuing
strategic acquisitions.
3. Products and Services Portfolio Enhancement: We aim to better meet
customer needs through solution-led offerings and recurring revenue
models.
As part of the evolution of the growth strategy, management has updated
the financial targets for the medium-term period of 2025 to 2027. The
revised targets are as follows:
• Average annual organic revenue growth of 6-7%
• Adjusted EBITDA margin improvement in the range of 15%-17%
• Capital expenditure as a percentage of revenues in the range of 4-5%
per annum
• We reaffirm our commitment to maintaining a progressive dividend of
20-25% of net profit and maintaining a Net debt to EBITDA ratio of 1.5
to 2 times (excl. M&A activity).
These targets will be supported by cash flow generation and strategic
capital investments.
Manolis Kontos, Group CEO of AUSTRIACARD HOLDINGS AG, commented:
"During our Investor Day today, we shared insights into the implementation
of our strategy, the growth drivers of our business, and the foundations
of our strong growth.
We remain committed to the three pillars of our strategic growth:
geographical expansion, market share growth, and enhancement of our
products and capabilities. We plan to continue making significant
investments to transform our offerings and become a holistic solutions
provider, with a strong focus on technology.
We aim to pursue inorganic opportunities to enhance our product solutions
and market positioning. These targeted initiatives will enrich our client
offerings across different regions and further develop our capabilities.
Furthermore, we will invest in talent to enhance our organizational
structure and establish the foundation to implement our future plans”.
