A solid company that continues to grow and offer advanced, quality services, capable of innovating the market and improving the lives of its customers: this is the picture that emerges from the 2024 financial statements, approved by the Optima Italia Shareholders' Meeting with record figures and a strong increase compared to 2023.
The digital company, active in the energy and telecommunications sectors, closed 2024 with revenues of 368,6 million euros, +33% on 2023, with a CAGR – Compound Annual Growth Rate – of 13% in the last 5 years, demonstrating its ability to generate value and strengthen its market position.
A solidity also represented by the significant increase in Ebitda, which reaches 73,1 million (+44%). Net equity grows by 24% from 16,6 to 20,5 million.
The positive performance also concerns net profit, equal to 4,3 million with an increase of 126%.
In 2024, the customer base also expanded significantly: the company reached half a million users throughout Italy (+25% in one year, with a total Energy+Telco increase of 52%): 48% of these are families, 52% are businesses. Over half of Optima's customers have signed up for more than one service, a testament to the convenience and reliability guaranteed.
Optima was the first player on the market to launch an insurance policy to protect against climate change, with the provision of automatic compensation on the bill in the event of extraordinary variations in temperatures.
Marco Realfonzo, CEO and CCO of Optima Italia, comments: “2024 was a year of great consolidation and at the same time of growth, in which we demonstrated that it is possible to combine economic solidity, innovation and growth. Exceeding half a million users is an important milestone: confirmation that our vision is solid, and that there is room for further growth. We look to 2025 with determination and a clear development strategy”.
Giancarlo Gargiulo, CEO and CFO of Optima Italia, adds: "These results are the fruit of rigorous and balanced management during which we have been able to reconcile operational efficiency and targeted investments. The significant reduction in the net financial position strengthens our capital structure and puts us in the ideal conditions to face new challenges.
We will continue to work towards sustainable growth, oriented towards the creation of value for all stakeholders. The entire organization is committed to making the activities carried out increasingly aligned with the principles of sustainable development.
