BILBAO, Spain, July 18.- European Virtual Reality company Virtualware recorded revenues of €2.034 million in the first half of 2024, a growth of 28.09% over the same period last year.
According to unaudited results released this morning on Euronext Access Paris, the company's EBITDA in the first half amounted to €344,539.
This figure represents an improvement of 299.16% compared to €86,317 for the first half of 2023.
The net profit for the first half of 2024 was 199,164 euros, compared to a loss of 25,759 euros in the first half of 2023. This shows that the company's strategic decisions have ushered in a new phase of growth.
The results are the fruit of consolidating the company's new business model, which involves a shift to the SaaS model and the growth of its customer base through the induction of technology partners.
Unai Extremo, CEO of Virtualware, explained, "The significant and continued growth we are experiencing is good news, and the margin results reflect something we anticipated when we decided to radically change our business model and bet on the development of a SAAS platform such as VIROO."
"We hope to be able to continue this dynamic in terms of results over the next six months," he added.
