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.
