The earnings call presented a challenging year for CLIQ Group with significant sales decline and financial losses. The Fit For Future program and diversification efforts show promise, but the impact has yet to fully materialize. Despite remaining debt-free, the company faces substantial hurdles in stabilizing and returning to growth.
Company Guidance
During the CLIQ Group's Full Year 2024 Results Presentation, the guidance highlighted a challenging year marked by a sales decline of 26% to €243 million, primarily due to a 40% drop in the customer base. The group launched a transformation program, Fit For Future, which reduced headcount by 22% and incurred one-off costs, ultimately leading to a normalized EBITDA margin of 9% before special items. The company's net loss amounted to €28 million, with a negative EPS of €4.75, impacted by a goodwill impairment of €27 million. Despite these setbacks, CLIQ remained debt-free, with a positive free cash flow of €3 million and a net cash position of €12 million. Looking ahead to 2025, CLIQ anticipates an EBITDA between €10 million and €50 million, driven by sales projections of €180 million to €220 million, while focusing on expanding marketing channels, digital products, and monetization models to navigate an uncertain economic landscape.
Fit For Future Program
The transformation program, Fit For Future, aimed at revitalizing the company's marketing and product strategy, led to a 22% reduction in headcount and significant cost savings, reducing operating expenses by a quarter over the year.
Debt-Free Status
