New major risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 90% of British stocks, typically moving 19% a week. This is considered a major risk. Share price volatility increases the risk of potential losses in the short-term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. It may also indicate the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Annuncio • Aug 08

The company now expects its comparable revenue to grow approximately 9.6% from the previous year (previous outlook: double-digit growth). Previous year’s comparable revenue, adjusted for divested consulting businesses,was EUR 122.8 million. Revenue from cloud-native products continues strong performance. Full year revenue growth of 2022 will exceed outlook, however the target of accelerating growth in second half will not be met, due to some slowness in customers’ decision-making observed in late 2022.
