Free cash flow was strong and increased by 18.3% and was DKK 382.6m in Q4 2023 compared to DKK 323.4m in Q4 2022.
Cash conversion ratio (tax normalised) was 386.9% in Q4 2023.

For the full year, Netcompany grew revenue by 9.6% (constant 10.7%) to DKK 6,078.4m, in line with original guidance.
Adjusted EBITDA was DKK 901.2m in 2023 compared to DKK 1,106.2m in 2022. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 14.8% for 2023 (constant 14.9%) compared to 20% in 2022.

For 2024, Netcompany expects revenue growth in constant currencies of between 7% and 10%.
Adjusted EBITDA margin measured in constant currencies is expected to be between 15% and 18%.
“Based on strong performance in the international part of the Group of more than 20% growth, we ended the year satisfactorily, and in line with our guidance, at 10.7% revenue growth for the Group, and at 14.9% adjusted EBITDA margin.
Towards the end of the year, we have seen a shift in customer sentiment in the Danish private segment and we have begun to convert pipeline cases accordingly. Furthermore, we begin the year with improved revenue visibility. Macroeconomic outlook still looks uncertain though, and the high level of geo-political unrest experienced in 2023 prevails. Therefore, we expect to grow revenue between 7% and 10% and deliver adjusted EBITDA margin between 15% and 18% in 2024.
We remain committed to our midterm financial targets, and based on strong free cash flow generated in Q4 2023, we initiate the first tranche of our DKK 2bn share buyback programme. The first tranche of our share buyback programme amounts DKK 150m and will be executed between 25 January and 1 May 2024.
I am proud of the results delivered in a challenging year by our more than 7,700 dedicated and talented employees. In combination with our enhanced Go-To-Market strategy focussing more on products and platforms and reusability, I am confident that we are on track to become a European market leader.”
