Sales revenues grew by around 28 percent to EUR 10.7 million after previously EUR 8.3 million. net digital has thus well met its own growth expectations of 25 percent for the year. The past fiscal year was characterised by significant expenditures for customer acquisition and for the further development of the net digital platform.

Nevertheless, the EBITDA was also increased by a noticeable double-digit percentage and, according to preliminary figures, amounted to more than EUR 0.8 million in 2022, after previously EUR 0.7 million. For 2023, net digital anticipates a continuation of the growth course.
