Earnings per share (diluted/undiluted) increased from EUR 1.09 (2021) to EUR 1.21 and thus by 11% in line with revenues.
Operating cash flow increased by 7.9% to KEUR 33,875 (2021: KEUR 31,386) and remains at a very high level. At the end of 2022, the company had cash resources at its disposal in the amount of KEUR 110,019 (31/12/2021: KEUR 26,172). In addition to the operating effects, the significant increase resulted from the proceeds from capital increases amounting to KEUR 73,124. Nexus AG had equity capital amounting to KEUR 238,946 as of 31/12/2022 (31/12/2021: KEUR 142,403). Consequently, the equity capital rate is 69.4% (31/12/2021: 57.6%). This demonstrates that Nexus AG has a sustainable and healthy balance sheet as well as sufficient capital for further financing of its European growth strategy.
At the annual general meeting on 16/05/2023, the Supervisory Board and the Executive Board will propose to pay a dividend of EUR 0.21 per share.
