The net financial position was negative at €37.8 million.

Lorenzo Mondo, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of STAR7, commented: "In 2023, STAR7 reached an important milestone in its business development. Thanks to the Integrale7 business model, the company recorded significant results in terms of revenues, mainly through upselling and cross-selling. The integration of LocalEyes and the lease of the CAAR Group business division helped to strengthen STAR7's position in Global Content services and open up opportunities in new regions, such as India. Despite the challenges related to the integration and scalability of the offshoring system in Albania, the Group saw an increase in EBITDA Margin from 13.6% in the first half of 2023 to 14.3% in the second half of the year."
