This plan is based on detailed analysis and outlines revenue target of min EUR 90 million by fiscal year 2023/24 and an EBIT margin around 9% which corresponds to an annual average revenue growth rate of 11 %.

The growth drivers of the 3-year plan is based on a solution approach for 6 vertical markets to be addressed by a new high-performance camera platform with corresponding analytical software applications based on artificial intelligence, including cloud-based software applications.

It furthermore includes additional development of Konica Minoltas global market presence.

M&A activities may be included as further drivers of this strategy following recent acquisition of Vaxtor Technologies in Spain.

Key points of the 3-year plan will be presented at the Equity Forum spring conference in Frankfurt in May 2022 but will already by March be introduced to key shareholders. The capital market advisor Montega will also publish an update of its study on the company in May 2022.
