CHAIRMAN'S MESSAGE
Claranova
once again demonstrated the resilience and solidity of its business portfolio
In a world where economic, social and health balances have been disrupted, Claranova once again demonstrated the resilience and solidity of its business portfolio by maintaining strong growth momentum and close to half a billion euros in sales
this year.
The COVID-19 pandemic has confirmed the paradigm shift we have been observing for over 20 years now. This crisis has fundamentally accelerated the digital transformation of our daily life and consumer practices, and has thus fully benefited the technology sector to which we belong.
Growth in our revenues combined with our effective management of investments and costs, enabled us to nearly double our operating profit. All our divisions contributed to the significant improvement in these results reflecting the efforts of all our teams during this unprecedented period.
We continued to invest in R&D by launching new products such as FreePrints Gifts, InPixio Photo Studio 11 and new IoT solutions. We also continued the integration of Personal Creations and CafePress and completed two new acquisitions, PDFescape and
I See Me! These latest additions to our business portfolio illustrate our ability to acquire, integrate and rapidly generate value from technological assets.
Finally, for the first time in Claranova's history, this summer welcomed two new top-tier investors as shareholders of our Group. This strategic investment has allowed to form a group of cornerstone shareholders to stabilize to stabilize our shareholder base. This new investment also provides us with resources to finalize the buyout of Avanquest's minority interests in order to simplify our capital structure and increase the earnings potential for our historical shareholders.
Confident in the strength of our fundamentals, our strategy and our development potential, we remain confident in our outlook and renew our target for €700 million in annual revenue by 2023 and an EBITDA margin above 10% through a mix between organic growth and acquisitions.
