Ruben Wegman, Nedap CEO: ‘As indicated earlier, the first half of 2024 started slower compared to the same period in 2023. The catch-up effect that boosted our revenue in the first half of 2023 has tapered off. Additionally, softening market conditions within Livestock and Retail have lasted longer than anticipated. While we continue to invest in growth, we are mindful of the temporary slowdown in revenue development and tempered the hiring of new talent in the first half of 2024. The upward trend in our recurring revenue continued, resulting in a higher added value as a percentage of revenue and reducing volatility in revenue development. We are confident in the long-term outlook for our key markets and foresee revenue growth in the second half of the year compared to the same period last year.’
