창립자이자 CEO인 Martin Vohánka는 다음과 같이 말했습니다.
2023 was a year of both significant strategic and financial transformation for the Group, where we completed our largest ever acquisition and delivered further organic growth, despite a range of macroeconomic headwinds across Europe. Whilst these headwinds are expected to persist in 2024, I am confident in the positive outlook for the Group, thanks to substantial investments we have made in the business and in our market positioning.
Eurowag sits at the heart of the European CRT industry, providing a range of critical services that drive increased efficiency and profitability for customers who operate in a highly complicated, admin heavy sector. With only a small proportion of road transport companies having embraced digitisation to date, there is huge potential to grow our customer base. This will be accelerated with the launch of our industry-first digital platform later this year - a significant milestone for us, that will take our growth to the next level. Consequently, we remain confident in the prospects for the Group and re-iterate our near and medium-term financial guidance, as we unlock further value for both our customers and shareholders."

Outlook, near and 매질-term guidance remains unchanged
Eurowag enters 2024 in a strong position, despite the macroeconomic environment impacting the CRT industry across Europe. Many of the economic pressures the industry faces are expected to continue into 2024, impacting loads and therefore resulting in less kilometres driven.
Following its strategy, the Group is coming out of a heavy investment phase in both technology and acquisitions to create an industry-first integrated platform driving growth by offering new digital solutions to many of the CRT industry's biggest challenges. Eurowag's investment in recent years has delivered a mission-critical product suite to its customers, which underpins the Group's confidence in delivering mid-teens organic net revenue growth in the near and medium-term. With further integration work still to take place in respect of recent acquisitions, Adjusted EBITDA margins in FY 2024 are expected to remain in-line with FY 2023 at around 43%, and grow over the medium-term.
Whilst the absolute amount of capital expenditure reduces this year and the transformational programme (guidance to ?50m) reaches completion, several deferred consideration payments of circa ?35m from past acquisitions are subject to payout in FY 2024. As a result, the net debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio, at the end of FY 2024, is expected to be moderately above our target range (1.5x-2.5x) with a priority to return within the range in FY 2025.
The launch of the much-anticipated digital platform in Q4 remains on track, with expectations to unlock further opportunities whilst driving value for Eurowag's customers and shareholders. The Group is confident this offering, an industry first, will drive further cross selling and value for all stakeholders. As a result, the Group is confident it will deliver strong growth in-line with expectations, and medium-term financial guidance remains unchanged.

Eurowag was founded in 1995 and is a leading technology company and an important partner to the Europe's commercial road transport (CRT) industry, with a purpose to make it clean, fair and efficient. Eurowag enables trucking companies to successfully transition to a low carbon, digital future by harnessing all mission critical data, insights and payment and financing transactions into a single ecosystem and connects their operations seamless before a journey, on the road and post-delivery. https://investors.eurowag.com
최고 경영자의 검토
The European road transport industry supports 75% of the physical goods economy1; it represents 5% of GDP2 and provides employment to 20 million people. Despite the scale and importance of this industry in Europe, trucking companies face many challenges today, and only a few companies make an effort to resolve them. At Eurowag, we focus on nothing else but tackling these challenges at their root cause and are fully committed to supporting the transformation of the trucking industry into a resilient service for society that contributes to Europe's journey to net zero by 2050. That is what drives our passion and commitment to undertake truly pioneering ventures. Our vision is about the digitisation of the industry, which will solve the ecosystem fragmentation, decarbonisation and low profitability, and create a better workforce environment.
Transforming the business
For almost 30 years, Eurowag has built a pan-European payment network for the trucking industry, which is mainly made up of small and medium-sized businesses. Five years ago, when we had around 900 employees, we changed the strategy of the business and started to build or buy new product capabilities, creating unique pieces of a jigsaw, which none of our competitors had attempted before. We made a bold move and decided to bring multiple sub-industries together, all serving the trucking industry, bringing products under one roof to create a single independent ecosystem. Our ambition is to create an end-to-end platform where we can bring together all our customers' data, be it truck, driver, or company data, instilling transparency and generating AI insights to drive efficiency through the ecosystem, reducing human intervention, improving drivers' wellbeing and truck utilisation and saving energy. As well as bringing data together, this platform will integrate our payment solutions, which supports customers' cross-border foreign exchange transactions, and where financing is at our customers' fingertips.
Today, with almost 1,900 employees working intensively towards our vision, I am proud to report significant progress on all our strategic pillars, pivoting towards a soft launch of our platform in Q4 2024, while delivering a strong set of results against macro headwinds and industry volatility.
With the evolution of the business and change of revenue mix, we have set out below the following strategic priorities:
1) 모든 트럭에 있어야 합니다. (끌어 들이다)
· Progress in 2023:
o Signed three out of six OEM partnerships in 2023, which cover around 45% of the European truck market today.
o Integrated the Webeye sales team into one Eurowag agile sales team, aligning sales targets across all markets.
o Through the acquisition of Inelo, we expanded our presence in Poland and the Adriatic region.
o Expanded our energy network into Portugal and Croatia.
· Focus in 2024:
o Training the direct sales teams to become more advisory, including further integration of Inelo's sales team.
o Start to bring together all our sales channels into a customer-centric omni-channel.
o Deliver software to OEM partners for installation in all new truck infotainment system.
o Expand customer base in new geographies.
o Integration of electric vehicle charging points into our closed-loop network.
2) 고객 중심 추진 (관계를 맺다)
· Progress in 2023:
o Improved our Eurowag app and client portal; number of monthly active users on the Eurowag app increased by 58% year-on-year to almost 32,000.
o Rolled out our mobile payments application to 13 countries, and now have over 800 acceptance points ready for drivers to unlock the fuel pump with the app.
· Focus in 2024:
o Streamline customer digital touch points across all brands into a single sign-on.
o Enhance customer user experience through simplification and development of customer insight tools.
o Further develop our driver behaviour and emission tracking tools to help customers with their carbon emission efficiencies.
3) 핵심 서비스 성장 (수익 창출)
· Progress in 2023:
o Received European Electronic Toll System ("EETS") certification in the Czech Republic, Hungary, Spain and Portugal, and now have licences in 10 countries across Europe, including Germany, which collects almost 50% of toll revenues in Europe.
o Increased the number of toll domains ordered on our EVA device by six times year-on-year, with toll coverage across 23 European countries.
o With the acquisition of Webeye and Inelo, our toll on-board unit ("OBU") sales have grown almost four times year-on-year.
· Focus in 2024:
o Drive cross-sell across existing services and newly acquired businesses.
o Develop Decarbonisation as a Service to help customers access lower carbon fuels.
o Expand core services through increased European coverage.
4) 플랫폼 기능 확장 (유지하다)
· Progress in 2023:
o Implemented new ERP system and on track with the second phase go live in Q1 2024.
o Continued to develop our financial platform capability, in preparation of our e-wallet launch in FY 2024.
o Made good progress on our digital platform, testing pricing models and user journeys; on track for a soft launch in Q4 2024.
· Focus in 2024:
o Successful migration of data and simplification of processes in ERP; next phase to be launched later in 2024.
o Successful soft launch of our new digital platform, Eurowag Office, in Q4 2024, along with our e-wallet solution.
o Introduce subscription pricing model through new platform.
Our financial and operational highlights
For the full year, total net revenues grew by 34.4%, to ?256.5m, and achieved organic growth of 14.5%. This sustained organic growth is supported by mobility solutions which grew by 28.3% in the year and now contribute almost 43% to total Group net revenues (from 29.3% in FY 2022), with the inclusion of Inelo. Our Adjusted EBITDA margins were broadly flat with last year at 42.4% (FY 2022: 42.8%), despite this year being our peak year for transformational investments. These results showcase that our customer value proposition is differentiated from the rest of the market represented by single or limited product providers. Overall the Group delivered an Adjusted profit before tax of ?56.7m (FY 2022: ?54.9m) with a statutory loss before tax of ?39.3m (FY 2022: profit before tax ?28.0m), the year-on-year reduction primarily relating to amortisation from acquired intangibles, finance costs and a non-cash goodwill impairment of ?56.7m.
This year, we saw slow growth in economies across Europe; there were headwinds in the spot freight markets and less kilometres driven, and yet we were still able to grow the number of active payment solutions trucks and active customers by 6.5% and 8.4% respectively. At Eurowag, however, it is not unusual to see accelerating demand for our solutions when customers are struggling, as our solutions are mission critical for their businesses and help improve their financial positions. These trends are not dissimilar to what we saw in 2008, and more recently during the COVID-19 pandemic.
As communicated, our transformational capex programme is largely complete however we will continue to invest and we expect our capex spend to be around 10% of net revenues annually.
People and culture are the foundation to Eurowag's success
In Q2 2023, we welcomed a new CFO, Oskar Zahn, who brings strong plc experience, and we are pleased to see him set new standards for the finance function, while adapting to the complex environment of Eurowag's operations.
We have continued to strengthen the Eurowag leadership team, especially through our recent acquisitions of Inelo (including CVS Mobile ("CVS")) and Webeye, moving senior talent into Group roles, to promote and align our culture across the organisation. As a result of our growing organisation, we have also continued our efforts to improve and strengthen internal communications, as so many people with different backgrounds and cultures come together. We have introduced new communication formats, such as Town Halls and All Hands meetings, where employees have exposure to the Senior Leadership Team and our Chairman, as well as different parts of the business. Our focus on two-way communication supports our aim of having an inclusive and open culture. We have also launched a People and Culture Ambassadors Network whereby 40 colleagues representing different parts of our organisation are helping us to embed our culture, help employees understand our purpose, live our values and understand our strategy and the part they play in making us successful.
We have continued to improve diversity in the workplace, with a key pillar of our strategy focusing on hiring and promoting practices. Attention has been given to improve the training of our hiring managers in areas such as unconscious bias. We have also focused on our Women's Network and supporting women in leadership roles, for example launching a women's mentoring scheme. Similarly, we have focused on creating an inclusive learning environment where employees have access to a wide range of opportunities to develop personal and professional skills.
During the year, there were several changes to the Board. Caroline Brown, who chaired our Audit and Risk Committee, stepped down as Independent Non-Executive Director and Steve Dryden joined us as Independent Non-Executive Director, taking on the responsibility of chairing the Audit and Risk Committee.
Subsequent to the year end, we welcomed Sophie Krishnan and Kevin Li Ying to the Board, as Independent Non-Executive Directors. Susan Hooper is stepping down from the Board at the Annual General Meeting in May 2024.
Acquiring product capabilities to support our customers and new platform
In March 2023, we completed the acquisition of Inelo, which represented a significant milestone for the Group. Firstly, it was the largest acquisition for Eurowag and gave us market leadership in Poland, which is the biggest transport market in Europe, allowing us to grow our footprint in the Adriatic region under the CVS brand. Secondly, the solutions we acquired, work time management and transport management, have completed the list of mission critical services Eurowag set out to build or acquire five years ago, to become a key part of our future platform.
During the year, we continued to work on a phased integration of Webeye, which we acquired in 2022. As of 1 January 2024, all our acquired businesses have been working under one Eurowag operating model, so we can start to generate both cost and revenue synergies, driven through cross-sell opportunities. Both the Inelo and Webeye acquisitions have already contributed to strong OBU sales, which grew almost four times in the year. This is a great example of where our ability to capture data from both vehicles and drivers gives us customer insights to cross-sell a number of our other value-added services.
Building the industry's first digital platform, with a soft launch in Q4 2024
During 2023, we focused on expanding our sales channels. In preparation for our platform launch, we invested heavily in our digital channel capabilities and continued to expand our partnerships with the truck manufacturers, resulting in three of the six European OEMs signing with us to further develop our platform so they can install it within their infotainment systems. These three OEMs represent around 45% of the European truck market and this presents a unique opportunity for truck manufacturers to offer advanced digital services at the point of sales; customers have immediate access to solutions enabling operational efficiency and decarbonisation. These deals provide Eurowag with limitless access to new customers across Europe, endorsed by partnerships with strong brands of truck manufacturers.
As Eurowag moves to more of a technology enabled business, away from a pure card payment business, we expect to shift our marketing strategy from a pure direct sales customer model to a digital and indirect sales customer model. As part of this process, we have become a proud partner of leading industry influencer and truck business owner Ms Iwona Blecharczyk. Iwona is a passionate promoter of Eurowag and a great ambassador for all truck operators and drivers in the public eye, but most importantly she is helping shape respective legislation with European authorities.
Although we are well on our way to becoming more technologically focused, we continue to invest in our core suite of products. In 2023, we expanded our energy network to Portugal and Croatia, whilst continuing to focus on supporting our customers' transition to alternative fuels; our LNG stations' coverage represents more than 50% of the European network. Our mobile payments application is now available in 13 countries across Europe, helping to enhance our customers' digital experience. The number of monthly active drivers on the Eurowag app increased by 58%, compared to last year, as a result of better user experience and increased communication efforts with our customers. We look forward to migrating the Road Lords drivers' community to our new platform. In the year we expanded our EETS network to the Czech Republic, Hungary, Spain and Portugal, while our European coverage for toll services is 23 countries.
Our technology investment also includes the implementation of ERP, which is a critical part of our technology platform, enabling us to improve internal processes and scale our business. We are pleased to report we completed the second phase of the implementation at the beginning of 2024, which included general ledger and Group reporting processes. At the same time, we continue to develop our financial platform capability, in preparation of our e-wallet solution, as both technologies are an important part of the new platform.
지속 가능성
We are committed to helping the CRT industry become clean, fair and efficient.
Our sustainability plan contains four focus areas: climate action, customer success and wellbeing, community impact and responsible business. We have set objectives and targets for each focus area, and in 2023 we have made good progress against them.
We are committed to playing a role in enabling the CRT industry to achieve decarbonisation goals. This means helping customers be more efficient and make the transition from fossil fuels to alternative energy solutions, as well as reducing our own emissions. In 2023, we reduced our direct emissions (Scope 1 & 2, market-based) by 11% compared to the baseline year 20193, and almost doubled our on-site renewable energy generation by installing solar panels. We have also seen a 0.5% decrease in GHG emissions per tkm across Eurowag's customer fleet, compared to the baseline year 2019 and have seen a 121% increase in the number of active alternatively fuelled commercial vehicles4, which reached 780. We have begun offering lower carbon fuel on our own truck parks and have continued adding to our acceptance network of HVO, bringing the total to 165 in seven countries, which represents a six times increase.
The future belongs to those who learn and collaborate
At Eurowag, our success story has been built by people with open minds, those who are eager to learn from every step of our journey. We have innovative teams and skillsets to create valuable products and services for our customers. In all our efforts we are mindful of all our stakeholders, be it our shareholders, customers and employees, or our environment, suppliers, communities, local governments or even future generations. Despite the macro and industry pressures we face, we will continue to pursue our dream of revolutionising the CRT industry and lead the way to a digital, low-carbon future. We are confident we have all necessary ingredients to achieve this, and I want to thank you for the support.

재무 검토
Eurowag delivered a robust performance last year, despite the challenging macroeconomic pressures, demonstrating once again the inherent resilience of our business model and the mission critical nature of our services.
At a headline level, net revenue grew 34.4% to ?256.5m (FY 2022: ?190.9m) with Adjusted EBITDA up 33.2% to ?108.7m (FY 2022 ?81.6m), supported by acquisitions and strong organic growth. Adjusted EBITDA margins remained broadly flat at 42.4% (FY 2022: 42.8%), demonstrating the strong profitability of the business.
Similarly, Adjusted profit before tax grew 3.3% to ?56.7m (FY 2022: ?54.9m). Statutory loss before tax was ?39.3m (FY 2022 Profit before tax ?28.0m), impacted by amortisation from acquired intangibles, finance costs, a non-cash goodwill impairment of ?56.7m and other Adjusting items. Adjusted basic EPS increased to 6.49 cents per share (FY 2022: 5.75 cents), driven by higher Adjusted earnings (net profit) attributable to equity holders. Basic EPS was (6.62) cents per share (FY 2022 2.41 cents).

참고 :
1. Please refer to the section Alternative performance measures below for a definition and Note 5.
The Group's gross revenues decreased by 11.8% year-on-year to ?2,088.1m, driven by lower average energy prices of around 13.5% (a corresponding decrease was reported for costs of energy sold). Despite this, the Group delivered strong net revenue growth as net revenues grew by 34.4% to ?256.5m, of which ?37.9m was from our Inelo acquisition and includes synergies. Excluding acquisitions, organic net revenues grew 14.5%, driven by strong growth in mobility solutions and almost double-digit growth in payment solutions revenues. If we had acquired Inelo at the beginning of 2023, net revenue would have increased by ?47.3m for the year.
Payment solutions net revenues grew by 9.0% year-on-year, supported by 8.4% net growth in average active payment solutions customers, to 18,379 (FY 2022: 16,950), and 6.5% growth in average active payment solutions trucks, to 93,882 (FY 2022: 88,189).
Mobility solutions net revenues grew by 95.6% year-on-year, mainly as a result of the Inelo acquisition, with organic revenue growth of 28.3%, as a result of effective cross-selling, expanding our automotive partnerships and Webeye full-year consolidation.
Total contribution increased by ?41.6m to ?200.6m (FY 2022: ?159.0m), driven by higher net revenues although increased expenses reduced the contribution margin performance by 5pp to 78%. (FY 2022: 83%).
In terms of geographic breakdown, the Central cluster remains the largest segment with around 50% contribution of total net revenues (FY 2023: ?128.6m; FY 2022: ?92.4m). The majority of the countries in the Central cluster delivered strong double-digit growth. The Southern cluster has kept the momentum from 2022 and remains the fastest growing area with net revenue growth of 44.2% (FY 2023: ?96.0m; FY 2022: ?66.6m). On an organic basis, the Southern cluster delivered 29.7% growth year-on-year. A 2.7% decline in the Western cluster's net revenues (FY 2023: ?23.5m; FY 2022: ?24.1m) was mainly driven by a 3.5% decrease in the average number of active payment solutions customers (FY 2023: 2,227 customers; FY 2022: 2,308 customers).
법인 비용
Statutory operating expenses increased by ?126.1m to ?284.2m (FY 2022: ?158.1m), largely due to increased depreciation, amortisation and impairment losses which have been treated as an Adjusting item, with further details provided later on in this Financial review.

Adjusted Total operating expenses increased by ?38.6m to ?147.8m. The increase comprised mainly of the following:
Adjusted employee expenses increased by 42.4% year-on-year to ?85.1m (FY 2022: ?59.8m), of which ?12.6m was from the inclusion of Inelo into the Group and the remainder was mostly due to inflationary pay rises, Webeye remuneration and senior hires.
Impairment losses of financial assets amounted to ?8.9m (FY 2022: ?3.9m), with the majority of the increase relating to credit losses from more customers going into bankruptcy, mainly in Poland, Portugal, Hungary and Romania. The full year credit loss ratio increased slightly to 0.3% of gross revenues (FY 2022: 0.1%) as a result of macro pressures and higher interest rates. The Group continues to apply rigorous credit loss controls to manage this risk and, as a result, approximately 74% of its receivables portfolio balance was current as of the end of December 2023.
Adjusted technology expenses increased by 46.3% year-on-year to ?13.9m (FY 2022: ?9.5m). This was the result of the Group's decision to focus on technology transformation of which ?9.7m is related to software support and licenses, ?1.6m to data services and the rest is other IT services. Together with the consolidation of Inelo, this resulted in a ?1.1m year-on-year increase.
Adjusted other operating expenses increased by 37.3% year-on-year to ?50.0m (FY 2022: ?36.4m), in part due to the impact of Inelo consolidation of ?7.9m. Other operating expenses include costs such as travel, market research, professional services such as consultancy, legal and accounting services.
Other operating income increased to ?10.1m (FY 2022: ?0.4m), mainly driven by a favourable foreign currency forwards revaluation of ?8.0m, as a result of our prudent currency risk management.
조정 depreciation and amortisation grew by 83.7% year-on-year to ?40.4m (FY 2022: ?22.0m) primarily as a result of transformational technology being put into use and the Inelo acquisition.
조정 항목
In 2023, the Group incurred costs of ?96.0m (FY 2022: ?26.9m), which were considered to be Adjusting items and have therefore been excluded when calculating Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted profit before tax. These are summarised below:
FY 2023 (?m) | FY 2022 (?m) | |

The Group has incurred acquisition related costs which are primarily professional fees of ?4.4m (FY 2022: ?8.0m) in relation to M&A activities, predominantly the Inelo acquisition.
Strategic transformation expenses are costs relating to transformation of key IT systems and the integration of Inelo. Around ?5.0m is related to the implementation of our ERP system which successfully went live in January 2024. A further ?8m expense is anticipated over the next two years. This new financial system is a core technology for our new integrated platform and will enable us to scale quickly and efficiently. Integration costs of ?1.8m were incurred in 2023 and a further ?1.0m is expected in 2024.
Share-based compensation primarily relates to adjustments for the compensation provided to the Group's previous management prior to the IPO. These legacy incentives comprise a combination of cash and share-based payments, and those that have not yet vested will vest during the year ending 31 December 2024. A further ?2.4m is expected in 2024. These were one-off awards, designed and implemented whilst the Group was under private ownership. For clarity, post-IPO share-based payment charges are not treated as Adjusting items.
Impairment losses of non-financial assets is the charge recognised for the impairment of goodwill. This non-cash charge is an accounting assessment primarily related to the fleet management solutions Cash Generating Unit ("FMS CGU"). Due to challenging macroeconomic conditions, delayed integration and lower revenue growth rates, the Group has reduced future cashflows when undertaking this accounting assessment. As a result of these updated assumptions, there was a ?52.2m goodwill impairment recognised in the year for the FMS CGU. There was also an impairment charge of ?4.5m to the tax refund and toll CGU, which related mainly to our ADS acquisition in 2019.
Following the acquisition of Inelo, the Group began and completed a major restructuring programme in 2023 to right size the business at a cost of ?4.2m, at the same time as integrating people from new acquisitions.
Amortisation charges of ?17.1m relate to the amortisation of acquired intangibles. FY 2022 charges of ?8.4m also included amortisation due to changes in the useful life. The significant increase is due to the acquisition of Inelo.
순 금융 비용
Net finance expense grew to ?11.1m (FY 2022: ?4.1m). The increase primarily reflects the higher interest expense of ?19.8m (FY 2022: ?5.8m), as a result of higher debt following the Inelo acquisition, and partly due to higher factoring fees related to higher average factoring utilisation throughout the year. Interest expense was partially offset by finance income of ?14.7m (FY 2022: ?4.8m) which included a favourable foreign exchange gain due to the change in functional currency of our payment solutions (Czech Holding Company), from Czech Koruna in 2022 to Euros in 2023.
과세
The statutory Group tax charge of ?4.2m (FY 2022: ?10.3m) represents an effective tax rate ("ETR") of (10.8)% in 2023 (FY 2022: 36.8%). The Group's ETR was primarily impacted by Adjusting items.
The Group's Adjusted ETR for the year decreased to 17.6% (FY 2022: 24.3%), largely due to a functional currency change during 2023. The ongoing Adjusted ETR is expected to increase closer to the statutory rate.
Further details on tax are set out in Note 9.
주당 순이익("EPS")
Basic EPS for 2023 was a loss of 6.62 cents per share (FY 2022: earnings of 2.41 cents per share). This decrease was predominantly due the Group reporting a loss for the full year 2023 related to a non-cash goodwill impairment, higher finance costs and amortisation from acquired intangibles.
Adjusted basic EPS for 2023 was 6.49 cents per share, which is a 12.8% increase compared to 2022. The weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during 2023 amounted to 689,126,206 (FY 2022: 688,911,333). After accounting for the impact of the Long-Term Incentive Plan, Adjusted diluted earnings per share was 6.46 cents per share.
Acquisitions and investments in subsidiaries and associates
The Group completed a new acquisition in 2023, with further investment in previous acquisitions which together support the Group's strategy to create a platform of multiple products. The new acquisition was a 100% interest in Inelo.
Inelo was purchased on 15 March 2023 for ?215.3m in cash and on 16 March 2023, the Group repaid Inelo's bank borrowings of ?53.6m. On 31 August 2023, the Group paid an additional consideration of ?8.4m relating to the final price adjustment to Inelo's acquisition of the FIRETMS.COM subsidiary. Finally, on 3 October 2023, the Group paid ?2.0m related to other purchase price adjustments identified at completion.
In December 2023, the Group entered into an agreement to acquire the remaining 49% equity interest in KomTeS Chrudim s.r.o ("KomTeS"), in-line with the original option agreement. The remaining shares were transferred as of 1 January 2024, with the consideration to be determined based on the FY 2023 results and paid in the second half of 2024. The agreement will enable the Group to accelerate the full integration of KomTeS.
In December 2023, the Group sold its 51% equity interest in Tripomatic. Tripomatic was a non-core investment of Sygic, with its business based on consumer travel planning application.

As at 31 December 2023, the Group's net debt position stood at ?316.8m, compared to net cash of ?2.8m as at 31 December 2022.
The decrease in the level of cash is due to the cash outflows used in investing activities, including the acquisition of Inelo and technology transformation investments.
Net cash flows from operating activities decreased from ?44.2m in 2022 to ?30.9m, primarily due to working capital movements and higher interest payments. Working capital as at 31 December 2023 had a negative swing of ?29.8m, mainly related to lower trade payables due to different payment timings as of the end of 2022 and changes to payment terms in Spain, where we saw competitive pricing from smaller fuel suppliers with shorter payment terms. The impact related to adjusting items in the reporting period amounted to an outflow of ?18.0m (FY 2022: ?13.9m) and included ?9.1m for acquisitions related expenses, ?8.8m for strategic transformation expenses and ?0.1m for share-based compensation.
Interest paid increased to ?17.4m (FY 2022: ?10.1m) driven by higher debt following the Inelo acquisition as well as higher interest rates relating to our Euribor exposure from factoring of receivables.
Tax paid increased from ?7.8m in 2022 to ?9.3m; prior year payments were decreased by a collection of 2021 income tax advances. The impact of Inelo consolidation was ?0.5m.
Net cash used in investing activities increased by ?229.4m to ?333.7m, largely due to the outflows in connection with investment in acquisitions and capital expenditure.
Net cash from financing activities amounted to an inflow of ?247.1m in the reporting period, representing the proceeds from borrowings of ?356.9m, repayments of borrowings (?97.3m), acquisition of non-controlling interest in CVS (?7.0m) and lease payments (?5.4m).
자본 지출
Capital expenditure in 2023 amounted to ?50.9m, compared with ?43.2m for the previous year. This increase is primarily as a result of the inclusion of Inelo into the Group.
The Group's ordinary capital expenditure of ?29.2m (FY 2022: ?17.7m) includes investment into existing products, technology and infrastructure as well as hardware which represents on-board units ("OBU"). Ordinary capital expenditure grew year-on-year as a percent of net revenues from 9% to 11%, as a result of a higher capital investment ratio at Webeye and Inelo, which invest a larger proportion of their capital into OBUs.
Transformational capital expenditure is now largely complete and in-line with previous guidance of ?50m, with ?21.7m spend in 2023 and ?25.5m in 2022. The programme was initiated at the end of 2021 and focused on building and implementing modern technology, preparing the Group for the platform launch in 2024 by enhancing sales and customer touchpoint channels; expanding product capabilities, particularly the development of our EETS technology and EVA OBU; and building a cloud-based data system to capture customers' data on one platform, enabling the Group to draw on AI and digital insight tools.
자본 할당
The priority remains to drive long-term sustainable growth via both organic and inorganic investment. The Group will continue to focus on integrating the businesses acquired in 2022 and 2023, aligning products and people capabilities across the organisation and unlocking both revenue and cost synergies. With the recent acquisition of Inelo, our debt leverage ratio has as guided moved to 2.9x net debt to Adjusted EBITDA, which is above our medium-term guidance range of 1.5x to 2.5x. Therefore, our priority in the near-term is to return to within the target range. In the medium-term M&A remains important, especially value accretive opportunities in current and adjacent markets, and in product and technologies that will accelerate growth. The Group is underpinned by a robust balance sheet and, therefore at this stage, the Group does not intend to pay dividends; instead it intends to prioritise investment in growth.
금융시설 및 순부채
The multicurrency term and revolving facilities ("Club Finance") agreement contains financial covenants at the Group level. The financial covenants are tested semi-annually, based on announced reported financials.
Following the acquisition of Inelo, the leverage ratio moved to 2.9x net debt to Adjusted EBITDA, which is above the Group's medium-term guidance range of 1.5x to 2.5x. Therefore, our near-term priority is to return to within the target range.

1. The covenant shall not exceed 3.75 in 2024 and 3.50 in 2025 and onwards.
The Club Finance facilities which mature in September 2027 comprise the following:
- Facility A: ?150m amortising facility with quarterly repayments plus a ?45m balloon;
- Facility B: ?180m committed facility with quarterly repayments plus a ?45m balloon;
- Revolving Credit Facility ("RCF") of ?235m for revolving loans (up to ?85m) and ancillary facilities (up to ?150m); and
- ?150m uncommitted Incremental Facility for acquisitions, capital expenditure and revolving credit facilities up to ?50m of which not more than ?25m for revolving loans.
During the year, the Group borrowed ?180m under Facility B to finance the Inelo acquisition and utilised ?83.5m (initially ?50m and a further ?33.5m) under the uncommitted Incremental Facility to finance capex and acquisition related payments. Further details are outlined in 16을합니다.
The Group has effectively managed its floating EURIBOR interest rate exposure on existing term loans through the execution of zero floor interest rate swaps. The swaps were structured with varying hedge ratios, providing Facility A and Facility B coverage of 100% in 2023 and 2024, 75% in 2025, 50% in 2026, and 25% in 2027. The Incremental Facilities have not been hedged.
With respect to Facility A, interest rate swaps for the amount of ?120.0m (unamortised) have an effective payable fixed rate of 0.1% and expire in 2024. Additional interest rate swaps effective from 2023 for ?30.0m (amortised) have an effective payable fixed rate of 2.7% and expire in 2027. The latter have a complementary amortising profile in order to achieve the above-mentioned hedge ratio. With respect to Facility B, interest rate swaps executed in 2023 for the amount of ?173.0m (amortised) have an effective payable fixed rate between 3.2% and 3.5% and expire by 2027.
Throughout 2023, the Group has effectively managed its working capital needs through the use of uncommitted factoring facilities, with average financing limits of ?130.0m and average utilisation of 70.2% (FY 2022: ?101.8m and 65.5% respectively). This demonstrates the Group's proactive approach to maintaining a strong financial position, and its ability to optimise working capital.
위험 관리
Risk identification, assessment and management are central to the Group's internal control environment. A risk management framework enables the Group to identify, evaluate, address, monitor, and report effectively the risks faced and achieve a balance between risks and opportunities.
The principal risks, together with details on trends, exposure and the mitigation measures implemented will be included in the 2023 Annual Report and Accounts.

Amendment to the Club Financing agreement
On 14 March 2024, the Group signed an amendment to its Club Finance agreement specifically in relation to the uncommitted Incremental Facility, increasing the amount that can be used for revolving loans from ?25m to ?40m. The total amount of the uncommitted Incremental Facility remains unchanged at ?150m (with ?83.5m committed as at the year-end). An amendment was also agreed to remove the requirement to calculate the interest cover covenant as at 30 June 2024.

2. 준비의 기초
The Group's financial information has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement requirements of UK adopted international accounting standards. It has been prepared on a basis consistent with that adopted in the previous year. The Financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for derivative financial instruments and unquoted investments which are stated at their fair value. Whilst the financial information included in this Preliminary Results Announcement has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement criteria of IFRS, this announcement does not itself contain sufficient information to comply with IFRS.
The Preliminary Results Announcement does not constitute the Company's statutory accounts for the years ended 31 December 2023 and 31 December 2022 within the meaning of Section 435 of the Companies Act 2006 but is derived from those statutory accounts. The Group's statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2022 have been filed with the Registrar of Companies, and those for 2023 will be delivered following the Company's Annual General Meeting.
The Auditor has reported on the statutory accounts for 2023 and 2022. Their report for 2023 and 2022 was (i) unqualified, (ii) included no matters to which the auditor drew attention by way of emphasis and (iii) did not contain statements under Sections 498 (2) or 498 (3) of the Companies Act 2006 in relation to the financial statements.
관심가는
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. Having considered the ability of the Company and the Group to operate within its existing facilities and meet its debt covenants, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company and the Group have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The adoption of the going concern basis is based on an expectation that the Group will have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least twelve months from the signing of the consolidated full year financial statements.
The Directors considered the Group's business activities, together with the principal risks and uncertainties, likely to affect its future performance and position.
For the purpose of this going concern assessment, the Directors have considered the Group's FY 2024 budget together with extended forecasts for the period to September 2025. The review also included the financial position of the Group, its cash flows and adherence to its banking covenants.
The Group has access to a Club Finance facility which matures in September 2027 comprising of the following:
· Facility A: ?150m amortising facility with quarterly repayments plus a ?45m balloon;
· Facility B: ?180m committed facility with quarterly repayments plus a ?45m balloon;
· Revolving Credit Facility ("RCF") of ?235m for revolving loans (up to ?85m) and ancillary facilities (up to ?150m); and
· ?150m uncommitted Incremental Facility for acquisitions, capital expenditure and revolving credit facilities up to ?50m of which not more than ?25m for revolving loans.
The Group's Club Finance facility requires the Group to comply with the following three financial covenants which are tested semi-annually:
· 그물 활용: total net debt of no more than 3.75 times Adjusted EBITDA in 2024 and 3.5 times in 2025 and onwards;
· Interest cover: Adjusted EBITDA is not less than 4.0 times finance charges; and
· Adjusted net leverage: Adjusted net debt (including guarantees) of no more than 6.5 times Adjusted EBITDA.
Noting that on 14 March 2024, the Group signed an amendment to its Club Finance facility removing the requirement to calculate the interest cover covenant at 30 June 2024. Furthermore, the Group also increased the amount that can be used for revolving loans from ?25m to ?40m under the uncommitted Incremental Facility. The total amount of the uncommitted Incremental Facility remains unchanged at ?150m (with ?83.5m committed as at the year-end). See Note 16 for the covenant assessment as at 31 December 2023.
Throughout the period to September 2025, the Group has available liquidity and on the basis of current forecasts is expected to remain in compliance with all banking covenants.
In arriving at the conclusion on going concern, the Directors have given due consideration to whether the funding and liquidity resources above are sufficient to accommodate the principal risks and uncertainties faced by the Group. The Directors have reviewed the financial forecasts across a range of scenarios and prepared both a base case and severe but plausible downside case. The severe downside case assumes a deterioration in trading performance relating to a decline in product demand, as well as supply chain risks. These downsides would be partly offset by the application of mitigating actions to the extent they are under management's control, including deferrals of capital and other discretionary expenditure. The most extreme downside scenario incorporating an aggregation of all risks considered, showed a year-on-year decline in net revenue by 4% and an EBITDA margin of 41.5% in comparison to the base case of net revenue growth of 15% and a EBITDA margin of 42.4% These adjusted projections do not show a breach of covenants in respect of available funding facilities or any liquidity shortfall.
In all scenarios, the Group has sufficient liquidity and adequate headroom in the Club Finance facility to meet its liabilities as they fall due and the Group complies with the financial covenants at 30 June and 31 December throughout the forecast period. The Group has also carried out reverse stress tests against the downside case to determine the performance levels that would result in a breach of covenants and the Directors do not consider such a scenario to be plausible. The Directors have also considered the impact of climate-related matters on the Group's going concern assessment, and do not expect this to have a significant impact on the going concern assessment throughout the forecast period. Since performing their assessment, there have been no subsequent changes in facts and circumstances relevant to the Directors' assessment of going concern.
3. 통합 근거
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries undertakings to 31 December each year. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee.
4. Summary of significant accounting policies information
The significant accounting policies used in preparing the consolidated financial statements are set out in the Annual Report and Accounts. These accounting policies have been consistently applied in all material respects to all periods presented.
5. Alternative performance measures ("APM")
To supplement its consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with IFRS, the Group uses the following non-GAAP financial measures that are not defined or recognised under IFRS: Net energy and services sales, Contribution, Contribution margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted basic earnings, Adjusted earnings per share, Adjusted effective tax rate, Net debt/cash and Transformational capital expenditure.
그룹은 투자자에게 추가 정보를 제공하고 결과에 대한 이해를 높이기 위해 대체 성과 측정("APM")을 사용합니다. APM은 IFRS에 따라 결정된 수치를 대체하기보다는 보완하는 것으로 보아야 합니다. 더욱이, 이러한 지표는 다른 회사에 따라 다르게 정의되거나 계산될 수 있으며, 결과적으로 그룹의 동종업체가 계산하는 유사한 지표와 비교할 수 없을 수도 있습니다.

2023년에는 다음과 같은 인수가 이루어졌습니다.
Acquisition of Grupa Inelo S.A. ("Inelo")
The acquisition of Inelo was completed on 15 March 2023.
그룹이 지불한 ?215.3 million in cash upon the acquisition of 100% of the share capital of Inelo and repaid Inelo's bank borrowings of ?53.6 million on 16 March 2023. In addition, on 31 August 2023 the Group paid an additional consideration of ?8.4 million related to the final price adjustment to Inelo's acquisition of FIRETMS.COM subsidiary. Finally on 3 October 2023, the Group paid ?2.0 million related to other purchase price adjustments identified at completion.
There is also a contingent consideration, based on Inelo's EBITDA performance for the year to 31 December 2022, capped at ?12.5 million. The Group has assessed the performance conditions based on 2022 EBITDA and concluded it to be below the required target level. As at 31 December 2023, the Group estimates the contingent consideration to be nil.
The acquisition included FIRETMS.COM put option redemption liability and forward contract to acquire NCI in Napredna telematika d.o.o. in the future (disclosed below).

The goodwill is attributable to expected synergies from combining operations, workforce and other unrecognisable intangible assets. It will not be deductible for tax purposes. The gross contractual receivables acquired amounted to ?9,931 thousand. At acquisition date, there were ?1,272 thousand of contractual cash flows not expected to be collected. From the date of acquisition until 31 December 2023, Inelo's subsidiaries contributed ?37,680 thousand of revenue and ?7,883 thousand profit after tax.
If the acquisition had occurred on 1 January 2023, consolidated revenue and consolidated profit after tax of Inelo's entities for the year ended 31 December 2023 would have been ?47,260 thousand and ?9,846 thousand respectively. Excluding amortisation of acquired intangibles and Adjusting items the Adjusted profit after tax would have been ?18,785 thousand.

손상 책임 ?52,217 thousand was recognised in the Fleet management solutions CGU based on value-in-use model. This was a result of an adjustment to the revenue growth assumption for the Fleet management solution CGU, including Inelo, reflecting the impact of macro conditions on near-term revenue growth. The test was also adjusted for our cost synergies assumptions anticipated from the integration of Inelo, which is now lower due to the higher investment in systems and related costs.

All ordinary shares have the same rights.
Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the net profit / (loss) for the period attributable to equity holders of the Group by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.
Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing the net profit / (loss) for the period attributable to equity holders of the Group by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, plus the weighted average number of shares that would be issued if all dilutive potential ordinary shares were converted into ordinary shares. Adjusted basic EPS is calculated by dividing the Adjusted earnings (net profit) for the period attributable to equity holders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period.
Adjusted diluted EPS is calculated by dividing the Adjusted earnings (net profit) for the period attributable to equity holders of the Group by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, plus the weighted average number of shares that would be issued if all dilutive potential ordinary shares were converted into ordinary shares.
In periods where a net loss is recogniSED, the impact of potentially dilutive outstanding share-based awards is excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share as their inclusion would have an antidilutive effect.
