Additionally, our funnels of new projects are steadily increasing, reflecting the growing interest in our services.
Despite encountering delays in some of the planned NRR projects going into Q2, our overall momentum remains strong. Notably we realized a significant growth in adjusted EBITDA equal to 27%.
Our new CFO, Claes Pedersen, started in February and brings with him a wealth of experience that will facilitate our efforts to upscale and effectively manage a larger multi- national organization with higher complexity.
During the quarter we dedicated time to prepare for our strategic acquisition of Beyond Digital Solutions Ltd, that took place on April 9. This acquisition gives ZetaDisplay direct access and presence in one of the largest and most advanced digital signage markets in Europe, as well as an interesting set of UK customers and a highly competent and motivated UK team.
The Austrian company PeakMedia Digital Signage GmbH, acquired in September 2023, is performing well and is demonstrating strong growth, while integration proceeds as planned within key areas such as software platform, marketing, finance and HR.
OUTLOOK
Our long-term plan and investment initiatives for growth continue by executing on our 2024 strategic growth transformation plan and upscaling of key areas in our organization. We expect recent acquisitions to yield additional growth in the medium term together with an increased focus on organic growth.
As always, we maintain our commitment to prioritizing and investing in activities that foster long-term growth and enhance our focus on customer satisfaction.
I would like to thank all our co-workers for their tireless commitment to our customers and thank our customers for their continued trust.
