In this market, Alkemy has developed a differentiated positioning that has allowed it to grow with a CAGR of 33% (>2x the market), to move from the 23 starting resources to a team of over 650 people and a turnover of about 74.8M€.

In these 8 years, Alkemy has successfully used the M&A lever (7 acquisitions) using the IPO proceeds in less than nine months, and the EBITDA growth of the four acquisitions made in Italy from 2013 to 2018 was between 150 and 440%.

Consolidated Profit & Loss

› FY 2020 Revenues at €M 74.9, down by 11% compared to €M 85.2 of FY 2019.

Italian turnover is down by 7%, mostly due to lower tax credit and incentives for R&D projects over the period. Italian core business mostly stable, with an increase in top 50 clients' ARPC of 10%.

Operative costs decreased by -13.5% yoy, reducing the impact on revenues by 2.3% compared to FY 2019. Services costs decreased by 20% yoy. This efficiency is mostly achieved thanks to the actions taken to internalize tech activities. Personnel costs is mostly stable, with a decrease of 2.2% compared to FY 2019, attributable to the rationalization of the new organization in the Italian companies, while there has not been use of any temporary layoffs nor other unemployment benefits.
