Provisional annual figures 2024
-
We had a good year.
-
That's the good news.
-
Our net revenue is expected
to be around 94 million.
-
That's entirely within the bandwidth
we've been predicting for a long time.
-
It's just slightly under budget,
about 1.1 or 1.2 million,
-
but it's a pretty good
achievement nonetheless.
-
This also means that our gross margin
is falling behind a bit-
-
And at the same time, we have managed
to keep the costs under control.
-
Let's say that the extra wiggle room
we included in the budget
-
wasn't needed in the end,
-
the bottom line being we've ended up
just below the budgeted results.
-
All in all, I think that's a great result.
-
I have often mentioned
that the big difference we make
-
is when we work efficiently.
-
That's when we're really
taking a big leap forward
-
if we do that in the right way.
-
And this is mainly about making good
working agreements with our clients,
-
good project management,
communicating on time,
-
and calling in help in time.
-
It's something I've mentioned before,
-
and what we, as shareholders, have said,
-
this is something we'll be
looking at structurally in 2025.
-
We're still losing far too much
money at the top end.
-
And I think the most important
part of the message is
-
it's not so much just about
maximizing the results.
-
It's about getting our
business operations in order,
-
which also creates more peace
in the organization,
-
which makes work more enjoyable for people
-
and reduces staff turnover.
-
I am also convinced that
absenteeism will decrease
-
and, ultimately, our results
will increases in all respects.
-
And that's good for all of us.
-
We see a lot of other firms
going public with those figures,
-
but we don't do that.
-
We prefer, perhaps more in line with
our own DNA, to stay under the radar.
-
A number of firms have announced
-
that they expect to exceed
100 million euros in turnover in 2025.
-
That also applies to us.
-
We're also going to break
through that magical barrier.
-
The big difference is,
we're doing it on our own.
-
And that's something
I'm incredibly proud of...
-
of this club.
