Düsseldorf, 28 April 2025. The Board of Directors of the Platform Group AG has decided to significantly raise its forecast for the current financial year 2025.

Based on the positive earnings development and the effect of the implemented cost and efficiency program, the Board of Directors expects a significant increase in adjusted EBITDA to between EUR 47 million and EUR 50 million for the 2025 financial year (previous forecast: EUR 40 million to EUR 42 million). The number of partners is now expected to rise to over 16,000 (previous forecast: 15,000).

The Group’s medium-term planning relating to the 2026 financial year will also be adjusted in light of the earnings contributions of the acquisitions to date and the Group’s organic growth. The Board of Directors of The Platform Group AG expects to achieve a gross merchandise volume (GMV) of EUR 1.6 billion (previous forecast: EUR 1.5 billion), sales of at least EUR 820 million (previous forecast: EUR 700 million), and an adjusted EBITDA margin of between 7% and 10% (unchanged) in the 2026 financial year.
