WE DESIGN BUSINESS EVOLUTION THROUGH DATA, TECHNOLOGY & CREATIVITY

Alkemy was founded in 2012 with the aim of supporting the top management of large companies in the process of digitizing their business model.

The market in which Alkemy insists is the digital transformation market which today is worth over 6 billion euros in Italy and grows at a rate of about 9% per year.

In this market, Alkemy has developed a differentiated positioning that has allowed it to grow with a CAGR of 42% (>2x the market), to move from the 23 starting resources to a team of over 700 people and a turnover of 95M€ in 2021.

In these 10 years, Alkemy has successfully used the M&A lever (9 acquisitions) using the IPO proceeds in less than nine months, and the EBITDA growth of the four acquisitions made in Italy from 2013 to 2020 was between 70 and 500%.

Alkemy has developed a new organization and a new Go-to-Market strategy that have laid the foundations for the industrialization and expansion of the business scale, resulting in strong organic growth and higher marginality.

We help companies to evolve their business in the post-digital scenario

OUTLOOK

  • The widespread increase in the price of raw materials in general and on energy products specifically, driven by the war, is generating and supporting a significant inflation that has a direct impact on many economic sectors and on the expectations of companies. Such expectations are affected by the uncertainty that is troubling the markets, and especially the Italian one that is also impacted by the early elections.

  • At present, no relevant evidence has been found on Alkemy Group clients, except that some may be more indirectly influenced by the difficulties generated by the war, with possible repercussions on the purchase of the services offered by the Group.

  • Considering the results achieved in 1H 2022 and business current trading in the first months of 2022, barring the occurrence of further aggravating events, currently not well foreseeable, it is confirmed that the Group's expectation is to continue growing organically and increasing margins.
