Binect has lowered its EBITDA forecast for the current fiscal year based on the latest forecast, but continues to confirm expected revenue growth of 2.5 to 5.0 percent. The reasons are longer onboarding periods, decision-making delays among mid-sized companies and public authorities, newly signed contracts not yet in productive use, and a decline in shipment volumes from a major existing customer due to the economic cycle. These effects lead to a less favorable revenue mix and lower margins. Binect is working on product optimizations, new self-service variants and extensions for its solutions business to strengthen profitability sustainably. » Plus sur finanzen.net
