Agillic publishes its annual results 2024 in line with preliminary results published on 6 February 2025
Announcement no. 03 2025
Copenhagen – 25 February 2025 – Agillic A/S
Agillic has today published its annual results 2024 in line with the preliminary results published on 6 February 2025. The guidance for 2025 is also maintained.
Christian Samsø, CEO, comments on the results: “In 2024, sales were affected by higher uncertainty and limited appetite for tech investments in the market. Client portfolio changes, driven mainly by mergers and acquisitions, where clients were forced onto other platforms as part of new global contracts and commitments, affected Agillic. However, on a positive note, several new clients chose Agillic as their customer engagement platform in 2024. In 2024, we finally closed the year-long tax credit dispute with the Danish Tax Authorities and in Agillic’s favour, positively impacting both the net result and liquidity. 2025 will undoubtedly present it’s challenges too, but with a refocused strategy and a new and committed management team, we feel confident to deliver on our ambitions for growth and profitability.”
