Inside information: Gofore Plc’s Business Review1-31 October2022:Net sales 14.6 million euros, eMundo acquisition expands international portfolio

In October 2022, Gofore’s net sales were 14.6 million euros (10.2 million euros in October 2021). The last 12 month (LTM) pro forma net sales were 141.9 million euros in October. The Group employed 1,159 (827) people at the end of the month.

CEO Mikael Nylund comments:

”In October, Gofore’s business developed much like our strong September. In line with our strategy, our sales efforts were focused on current, big customers, with whom we are planning for continuation of ongoing projects as well as new digitalization projects for next year.

In October, the ”secret sauce” of our sales success with existing customers was publicly awarded Knowledge-driven Leader Act of the year. Gofore manages customer relationships and customer experience with data, according to our Customer 360 concept. Data helps us make customer collaboration and customer value visible to all Goforeans, in real time. This continuously developing way of working is a significant part of the execution of Gofore’s growth strategy!

October’s biggest news is also related to our strategy, according to which we seek growth from acquisitions. On 27 October 2022, we communicated acquiring the entire share capital of digitalisation expert and software company eMundo for 8.0 million euros. The acquisition that was closed on 1 November strengthens Gofore’s position, offering, customer portfolio and growth potential in Germany and German-speaking Europe. eMundo stood out from potential target companies with their excellent customer portfolio with big, industry leading names such as BMW and Germany’s railway operator Deutsche Bahn, who also operate on the automotive industry and public transport that are relatively new to us. I look forward to the growth opportunities this brings!

The number of our employees keeps growing, and our recruiting success matched our expectations in October. The eMundo acquisition brought us over 90 new colleagues in the DACH area in beginning of November. The corona virus endemic that speeded up after the summer has been visible on our sick leave levels, but there was no clear spike in October statistics.

We continue to encourage our staff in locationless work that, in addition to remote work, also entails more and more focus on local communities. This is one of the reasons why in October we set up a small office in Malaga, Spain, where Finnish employees are also welcome. With the eMundo deal we also have e.g. nine offices in eight locations in Germany, Austria and Northern Italy. As we presented in the July September business review, we also continuously develop our domestic network.

Our operating environment is unchanged from the July-September business review, and the estimates on our near-term risks and their direct impacts on Gofore also remain the same.”
