Jürgen Pürzer, CFO at NTT DATA Business Solutions AG: “The extremely good earnings performance is the result both of higher revenue in the segments and the consistent and successful implementation of our global cost and efficiency improvement program. We intend to maintain this very positive trend in the current fiscal year.”
The Management Board expects to see further revenue growth to between BEUR 1.24 and BEUR 1.30 in the 2022/2023 fiscal year on an adjusted basis prior to any global recession effects in connection with the war in Ukraine and rising inflation and interest rate expectations. An EBITA margin of around 6% is projected with further growth in earnings.
