It was a pleasure to attend this inspiring Leadership Summit 2024 and to be part of the IONOS Philippines Leadership Team. Not only did we engage in deep discussions on leadership principles and customer expectations, but we also reaffirmed our commitment to developing a customer-centric culture. I am particularly proud of our strong team here in the Philippines, where we have been present in Cebu for over 20 years, working to drive real change.
Our commitment to investing time and resources in the community is a fundamental part of our mission. Together, we can achieve great things and continue to put customer satisfaction at the centre of our efforts.

Today marks a significant milestone for IONOS and our commitment to the public sector. We are thrilled to announce that @ITZBund has selected us to develop a federal cloud platform. This partnership underscores the importance of digital sovereignty, security and reliability. These are principles that both the Federal Government and we, as a proud German provider, hold dear. It fits perfectly with the government's vision of a cloud-first approach.
This achievement would not have been possible without the dedication and hard work of our incredible teams. It is their unwavering commitment and innovative thinking that has brought us to this point, and for that I would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to each and every one of you involved in making it happen.
Here's to tackling this project with the same passion and excellence that got us here.
Let's roll up our sleeves and get to work!

Wow - wir könnten stolzer nicht sein: Vergangene Woche erst hat Information und Technik Nordrhein-Westfalen (IT.NRW) bekanntgegeben, dass wir die Landesverwaltung Nordrhein-Westfalen cloud-technisch aufs nächste Level heben werden - jetzt setzen wir noch einen drauf!

IONOS with a successful financial year 2023!
IONOS Group SE has continued its successful growth trajectory in 2023. This is reflected in the positive development of sales and earnings as well as the increase in the number of customers by around 190,000 to 6.19 million.
Sales increased by 10.1% from €1.292 billion (2022) to €1.423 billion in the 2023 financial year. Adjusted EBITDA rose by 12.9% to €390.3 million despite continued high marketing expenses, in particular to increase brand awareness of IONOS. The adjusted EBITDA margin rose to 27.4% in the 2023 financial year, compared to 26.7% in the previous year.
The increase in sales is mainly due to the continued positive development of new customer business and successful cross-selling and upselling to existing customers, while the aftermarket business was also further expanded.
"Our IPO in February 2023 was the first on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange since September 2022 and was seen as an icebreaker in a challenging environment," says IONOS CEO Achim Weiß. "Over the past year, we have demonstrated that our business model works. We have further expanded our position as Europe's leading digitalization partner and reliable cloud enabler."
In 2023, innovations in the field of artificial intelligence in particular were driven forward. For example, IONOS introduced an AI-based website builder, a newsletter tool with AI functions and a domain search that benefit from this new technology. In the cloud area, customers were able to use generative AI applications on the IONOS cloud platform for the first time. IONOS is also using artificial intelligence in customer service to further improve customer satisfaction.
Due to the successful development in the financial year, IONOS already published guidance for 2024 and 2025 in December 2023. For the 2024 financial year, the company is planning currency-adjusted sales growth of around 11% (2023: €1.423 billion). The adjusted EBITDA margin is expected to be around 28.5% (2023: 27.4%), resulting in an adjusted EBITDA of around €450 million (2023: €390.3 million).
IONOS is also planning for continued strong growth in 2025 and a further increase in the adjusted EBITDA margin to around 30%.

A recent survey of more than 200 companies in Germany, conducted by techconsult on behalf of IONOS, confirms that Digital Sovereignty is a highly relevant issue for small and medium-sized businesses.
Achim Weiss and Dirk Martin from techconsult presented the study at a parliamentary breakfast in the German Bundestag, hosted by our local representative in Karlsruhe, Michael Theurer (FDP).
A lively discussion showed that politicians have recognized the importance of the issue and are willing to work with our industry to improve the situation. At the same time, participants stressed the importance of continued information and dialogue from German and European companies.

International Women's Day isn't just a moment to celebrate the women in our lives; it's a call to action that urges us to fight for gender equality every day. At IONOS Group, we are committed to promoting equal opportunities and equality for women. Let's highlight some of our most important initiatives:
Empowering Leadership: We believe strongly in the transformative power of diverse perspectives and inclusive leadership. Through our mentorship programs, leadership development initiatives and robust support networks, we aim to empower women to lead with conviction. While acknowledging the journey ahead, we're encouraged by the fact that women hold 26% of leadership roles in the IONOS Group.
Advocating for Equal Opportunities: Gender equality is more than just an objective; it's a fundamental human right that we strongly support. We are committed to creating a workplace where every individual, regardless of gender, has equal opportunities to thrive and is fairly rewarded for their contributions. We're proud to share our progress in closing the gender pay gap, with a pay gap of -1.56%, underlining our leadership in this area and marking a significant step forward against national benchmarks.
Investing in education and skills: We see education as the foundation of empowerment. Our commitment to ensuring all employees have access to training, skills workshops and educational resources is unwavering, giving them the tools they need to excel in their careers and beyond. For women in particular, we offer additional opportunities for networking and growth through our Women Explore program, in partnership with @United Internet and with my support as Board Sponsor.
Supporting our customers' success online: Our commitment extends beyond our internal operations; we're dedicated to making a positive difference in the communities we serve. We're continually inspired by the entrepreneurs who use our products to drive their businesses forward. Today, I'm thrilled to share the journey of Alla Schaefer and her online store @Anatol.
As we celebrate the remarkable progress women are making around the world today, let's remain committed to uplifting, supporting and empowering women in every facet of life, every day.
