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 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, limited impact has been recorded on Alkemy Group clients, except for some that are more impacted by the consequences of inflation, with therefore possible repercussions on the purchase of services offered by the Group.
Considering the results achieved in 2023, barring the occurrence of further aggravating events, currently not foreseeable, it is confirmed that the Group's expectation are positive, with an expected continuation of organic growth both with regards to revenues and margins, mainly as a result of the new commercial and operational organization of Alkemy S.p.A., the positive effects of which will be visible starting from H2 2024.
