ADDvise updated long-term financial targets
The Board of Directors of ADDvise has decided to adopt updated long-term financial targets and thereby partially replacing the previous long-term financial targets from May 24, 2023. The decision aims to ensure long-term sustainable growth and profitability.

EBITA growth of 15% (new)
ADDvise shall have an annual EBITA growth of 15%. Growth will be achieved organically as well as through acquisitions.

Return on capital employed (ROCE) of 15% (new)
ADDvise shall annually reach a return on capital employed (ROCE) of 15%.

Capital structure 3.0x (unchanged)
ADDvise net interest-bearing debt in relation to EBITDA shall not exceed 3,0 times.

Dividend (unchanged)
ADDvise shall distribute up to 25% of previous year EBT in shareholders’ dividend.

The new financial targets aim to drive profitable growth while ensuring financial stability and long-term value creation. The focus is on balancing a high return on capital employed (ROCE) with strong EBITA growth while maintaining a healthy level of debt. A sustainable capital structure enables continued growth, achieved both organically and through acquisitions. The maintained dividend target is intended to create stable and long-term shareholder value.
