In light of the ongoing investment program announced in December 2020 to accelerate growth, the Managing Directors confirm the full year 2021 guidance. CompuGroup Medical expects revenues in 2021 to be in a range of EUR 1 billion and EUR 1.04 billion as well as adjusted EBITDA between EUR 210 million and EUR 230 million. 

Digital transformation in healthcare accelerates growth  

“Digitization is finally happening in healthcare, reinforced by the pandemic. Our customers’ world is transforming rapidly. CompuGroup Medical is ideally positioned to support doctors, pharmacies, hospitals and other healthcare professionals on their path towards digitization”, says CEO Dr. Dirk Wössner. “Governments across Europe have realized the need to digitize and modernize the healthcare space, and the transformation is gaining speed. We are ready to capture this fantastic opportunity. Organic growth has already accelerated in the first half of this year, and we confirm our ambition to achieve an organic year-on-year revenue growth of 5 % and more per year from 2021 through 2025.” 

CFO Michael Rauch adds: “This year we have significantly stepped up our investments to accelerate our organic growth. At the same time, we are targeting a clear path towards increasing profitability post the investment phase we announced in December 2020. We expect to be back at former levels of profitability with an adjusted EBITDA margin of approximately 25 % in 2023 and to increase the level even further going forward with a target margin of approximately 27 % by 2025.”
