Economic value

For the third year in succession, revenue at Unica grew by double figures. Revenue for 2022 rose to € 758 million, an increase of € 95 million as compared with 2021. In that year, total revenue amounted to € 663 million, which means that a rise of 14% was achieved in 2022. The solid organic growth that Unica continues to demonstrate year on year remains a vital factor in the rise in revenue and is responsible for 34% of the revenue growth. The effects of acquisitions and autonomous growth over the past few years remain well-balanced.

The focus on improving the rate of return was reflected in 2022 in an EBITDA of € 72,9 million, an increase of more than 29% as compared with 2021 (€ 56,4 million). This growth percentage is in line with the trend set over the past few years in which, in a five-year period, EBITDA has more than doubled as compared with 2017. Not only in absolute figures but also proportionally, the position of Unica was strengthened in 2022. The EBITDA margin rose to 9.6%, as compared with 8.5% in 2021. Unica achieved this improvement in rate of return through further cooperation between the business clusters, economies of scale and by managing operating costs. As a consequence, in 2022, Unica enjoys a healthy return position, appropriate for a company of our size.
