Management review

The period from January to the end of May 2024 was a successful one in many ways, with strong organic growth and an increase in revenue. Revenue growth was primarily driven by an increase in our contract customer base and additional sales, supported by implemented contract price increases and successfully executed M&A.

During the review period, contract sales continued to grow and additional sales grew substantially. Profitability was improved by synergies realised from successful integration efforts of especially the Bredablick and Sefbo transactions, price increases and the in-housing of service production leading also to a clear improvement in margins. Operating cash flow nearly doubled, driven by EBITDA growth and release of working capital, whereas capital expenditure increased moderately from the previous year.

Altogether PHM made a total of eleven acquisitions in several of its operating countries, allowing the company to expand into new geographic regions and strengthen its market position. During the review period, the Group carried out a tap issue of senior secured floating rate notes amounting to EUR 35 million. Demand for the tap issue was high and the pricing was favourable. The Group also increased its Super Senior Revolving Credit Facility to EUR 92,5 million in accordance with the existing terms and conditions.


Events after the review period

After the review period PHM Group has completed one acquisition in Finland and one in Norway, as well as announced the acquisition of Investis Group’s Real Estate Services business in Switzerland and received re-investment commitments in the aggregate amount of EUR 52.4 million from Investis Investments AG and other re-investing sellers. In addition, PHM launched a senior secured term loan B floating rate financing with a 7-year maturity in an aggregated amount of EUR 300 million.
