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 28% (>3x the market), to move from the 23 starting resources to a team of over 900 people and a turnover of 119M€ in 2023.
Alkemy has successfully used the M&A lever (10 acquisitions) using the IPO proceeds in less than nine months, and the EBITDA growth of the four acquisitions made in Italy from 2013 to 2021 was up to +500%.
With a new organization and a dedicated Industries & Clients team Alkemy is now focusing on the industrialization and expansion of the business scale, resulting in strong organic growth and higher marginality.

The outlook for 2024 is still influenced by exogenous factors such as the war in Ukraine, the outbreak of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, inflation and monetary policy. This situation of widespread uncertainty has significant impacts on companies' expectations which are not always positive.
At present, with the current visibility on the evolution of the business over the next few months, we expect a further moderate growth in revenues for the Group.
With regards to Adj. EBITDA margins, we expect an extension to H2 2024 of the dynamics that impacted 2024, with a flat trend of the overall profitability of 2024 due to the impact of the sales mix.
The positive impacts from the new organizational structure, of some ongoing operational initiatives and the hiring of new sales manager with a high seniority in H2 will be shown starting from 2025.
