Various cost optimisation measures were initiated and make us more efficient and leaner as we enter the second half of the year. We are therefore cautiously optimistic with regard to our performance in the upcoming half-year – not least due to a tentative recovery of our customers’ e-commerce and advertising activities. However, the general environment remains challenging in view of macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainties.
The report for the first six months of 2023 will be published on 18 August 2023.
