Eleving Group, while exploring IPO opportunities in the Baltics and Frankfurt, has disclosed its financial goals for the coming years. According to the projections, the company plans to nearly double its profit in three years.
Eleving Group closed 2023 with a EUR 29.5 mln net profit before FX. As stated by the Group’s management, the company aims to earn EUR 33 mln net profit before FX in 2024, EUR 44 mln in 2025, and EUR 54 mln in 2026, respectively.
The net loan portfolio projections show the ambition of accelerating the business and increasing it to EUR 520 mln, which would be up by 62.5% compared to the EUR 320 mln portfolio in 2023. Meanwhile, sales revenues are expected to grow from EUR 189 mln to EUR 315 mln.
"We have kept our growth trajectory and delivered on our promises in the first half of this year, and we see room for growth in the following years at a pace of 20% annually. As per our strategy, this will mainly be achieved by tapping the opportunities in existing and new geographies in the form of new customer-focused products, including for the SME segment. The scale-up effect will allow us to achieve higher efficiency and profitability as revenue will grow more than costs," explains Modestas Sudnius, the CEO of Eleving Group.
