Avemio Group Reports Strong Digital Growth and Improved Earnings in First Half 2025

Avemio AG demonstrated substantial progress in its strategic transformation during the first half of 2025, with the high-margin digital business making a decisive contribution to improved earnings while the trading segment continued to face challenges from weak customer investment activity. The company's proprietary cloud solution helmut.cloud and AI platform CaraOne emerged as key growth drivers, with CaraOne receiving recognition as Product of the Year at NAB Show in Las Vegas, the world's largest industry trade fair, and already securing initial orders from U.S. media companies.

Revenue in the digital business surged to EUR 8.5 million in the first half of 2025, approximately double the prior-year period, highlighting the successful execution of Avemio's digital transformation strategy. The company's AI platform CaraOne has generated significant market interest, particularly in the United States where the order pipeline has reached more than USD 5 million. This strong demand for cloud and AI solutions reflects the broader industry shift toward digital technologies and positions Avemio to capitalize on the ongoing transformation of the media industry.

Concurrently, the efficiency program in the trading segment delivered measurable results, with fixed costs set to be reduced by approximately EUR 1.5 million annually starting in 2026. The company successfully completed the full integration of all trading brands under the umbrella brand Teltec, addressing structural changes in the industry where customers are increasingly shifting toward flexible, usage-based purchasing models rather than high-priced capital goods investments. This restructuring provides the foundation for continued investment in future technologies while maintaining stability in traditional operations.

Financial performance showed clear improvement despite challenging market conditions. Consolidated revenues reached EUR 41.9 million in the first half of 2025, compared to EUR 44.7 million in the prior-year period, reflecting the difficult environment in traditional trading. However, strong growth in the digital segment drove the Group's gross profit margin significantly higher to 23.9% with gross profit of EUR 10.0 million, up from 21.7% and EUR 9.7 million in H1 2024. Consolidated operating earnings improved substantially to EUR -0.9 million from EUR -2.1 million in the previous year, primarily due to cost reduction measures in the trading business. The Group's equity ratio strengthened to 46% as of June 30, 2025, compared to 44% at year-end 2024, underscoring Avemio's solid financial foundation.

Ralf P. Pfeffer, Chief Executive Officer of Avemio AG, emphasized that the reorganization of the trading business is already yielding results and provides the platform for consistent investment in future technologies. The company's cloud and AI solutions position it well to benefit from the digital transformation of the media industry, supporting Avemio's evolution from an independent German trading company into an internationally active media technology group. The digital solutions from MoovIT Group and ObviousFuture GmbH have completed their pilot phases and are market-ready, indicating that the company is positioned to realize returns on its strategic investments. For the second half of 2025, Avemio anticipates moderate revival in the trading business alongside the first significant revenue contributions from new digital products.
