2024 results and 2025 objectives 

-  Press release of March 27, 2025 -

👉 Strong improvement in profitability and cash flow in 2024

👉 EBITDA +8%, ROC +425%, net result +300%

👉 Annual dividend of 5cts euro per share

👉 Maintaining momentum in 2025 

    

The increase in OPEX (14,2M€ => 15,2M€) of 7% between 2023 and 2024 is linked to changes in perimeter: the integration of the companies Eclair Préservation and Eclair Digital Services in a full year in 2024 compared to a half-year in 2023, and the integration over two months of the Gamestream activity.  

An operating expense (OPEX) is an ongoing cost for running a product, business, or system. 

Its counterpart, a capital expenditure (capex), is the cost of developing or providing non-consumable parts for the product or system.

Perspectives 2025 

Growth in both recurring revenue and gross margin remains at the heart of NETGEM's strategy for 2025. 

To achieve this, the Group intends to continue to differentiate itself through innovation. This will serve both to retain existing customers and to conquer new markets. This is in particular the role that video games streaming and artificial intelligence will have to play in 2025, with for example the acquisition of a stake in the company BARY announced in March 2025. 

As in the last two years, external growth operations and targeted partnerships will support the group’s strategy. 

Thanks to its constant vigilance on operational costs and the end of significant investments in hardware (on behalf of operators), the group anticipates continuing the growth in profitability and free cash flow in 2025 with the same momentum as last year. 

Mathias Hautefort, Managing Director of Netgem, declares: 

”Year 2024 confirmed the relevance of our positioning in the Entertainment Technology market and is the culmination of five years of patient and disciplined efforts and investments to build our profitability around a recurring business model.  

Building on these achievements, with our teams, with our investments in innovation, such as recently in the field of artificial intelligence, and with our new organization around the Eclair and Pleio product lines, we have all the cards in hand to continue with the same momentum in 2025.”

Seeing this solution accessible to the whole market is a great proof of the success of our collaboration" says Alix de Goldschmidt, Innovation, IA Program & Data Director Groupe M6. "
