What will 2023 bring?

Evolution CEO, Martin Carlesund, said: “We wrapped-up a strong financial year 2022 with a very good fourth quarter. This despite the challenging market environment reflected in the war in Ukraine, rising inflation, lower consumer confidence and remaining COVID-effects on supply chains – all of which are currently impacting the recovery of the post pandemic world economy.”

The group CEO also shared his predictions for the next twelve months, which also promise to be exceptionally successful for Evolution: “As we now move into 2023, we expect an EBITDA-margin in the range of 68-71 percent for the full-year 2023. Given the high level of uncertainty in the world we give a slightly wider range for our guidance compared to previous year.” – added Carlesund.
