Q2 2024 earnings summary6 Aug, 2024

Executive summary

  • The company is preparing for delisting after Burda increased its stake to over 74%, with an acceptance rate above 77% as of late August 2024.

  • Restructuring and cost-saving measures, including a 400-person workforce reduction, have stabilized operations and improved the cost base despite macroeconomic headwinds and a weak German labor market.

  • Management remains committed to long-term strategy, focusing on repositioning XING as a job network and expanding kununu's employer branding business, both of which showed strong user and engagement growth.

  • EBITDA dropped sharply in H1 2024 due to €24.7 million in restructuring costs and higher marketing spend, but pro forma EBITDA margin improved in Q2 due to restructuring.

  • CFO Ingo Chu announced he will not extend his contract beyond summer 2025.

Financial highlights

  • Q2 2024 revenues were €65.5 million, down 14% year-over-year; H1 2024 revenues were €133.7 million, down 12% year-over-year.

  • Pro forma EBITDA for Q2 was €17.5 million (margin 27%), and for H1 was €26.5 million (margin 20%), both down year-over-year.

  • Net loss for H1 2024 was €-7.8 million; pro forma net profit was €10.5 million.

  • Operating cash flow was negative at €(1.1 million) in Q2, mainly due to severance payments; H1 operating cash flow was €6.4 million.

  • Free cash flow before dividends was €(5.5 million); after dividends, €(11.1 million).

Outlook and guidance

  • Full-year 2024 pro forma EBITDA guidance of €55–65 million is confirmed.

  • Revenue target for 2024 is €270–280 million, with B2B Marketing Solutions lagging slightly.

  • Management is cautious in budgeting for 2025, expecting only modest macro growth and continued mixed performance across segments.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
