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

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.

OUTLOOK

  • The outlook for 2024 is still influenced by exogenous factors such as the war in Ukraine, the outbreak of the Isreali-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, in particular in the second half of the year.

  • With regards to Adj. EBITDA margins, we expect a further moderate contraction over the next quarter, due both to the different competence mix in the revenues and to the impact of the higher personnel cost following the renewal of the collective bargain agreement, impacting from last April. A first partial recovery in margins is expected in H2 2024, following the full deployment of the new commercial organization in Italy.
