Revenue Growth: CANCOM’s top-line growth in Q3 was mainly driven by the KBC Group acquisition, while organic demand remained soft, especially in e-commerce and workplace infrastructure.
EBITDA & Margins: Group EBITDA increased thanks to KBC’s strong contribution, but the EBITDA margin declined from 8.6% to 7.2% due to market challenges and prior one-off effects.
Cash Flow Turnaround: Operating cash flow improved significantly, reaching about €70 million in Q3, with management confident Q4 will see the strongest cash inflow of the year.
Guidance Maintained: Management confirmed the full-year forecast and expects Q4 demand to improve, particularly in hardware and software.
Cost Actions: Restructuring drove a reduction of 150 employees this quarter, with the main benefits of efficiency programs expected in 2024.
KBC Integration: KBC delivered record results with a 10% EBITDA margin, though this is expected to settle to 7.5–8% midterm as integration proceeds.
