Icecat growth continues in Q1 2025

The revenues of Icecat NV (ISIN: NL0012751226) increased by 4% during the first quarter (Q1) of 2025 compared to the same period last year. The growth is somewhat slowing down, whereby global uncertainties because of the tariff war might play a role.

The gross profit increased over the same period by 4% as well. As the operating expenses increased by only 2%, the EBITDA could increase by 12%. The profits (EBT) increased by 16% for this period, driven by both the improved EBITDA and higher interest. The profitability (EBT/net turnover) improved slightly to 27% (from 26%). These earnings contribute to the already very solid cash position.

In conclusion, all key financial metrics of Icecat continued to show solid progress although we strife for higher growth levels.
