Eric Gareau, CEO of Claranova commented: "Claranova's recovery remains on track with growth in revenue of 2% in the third quarter. This positive momentum reflected strong performances by Avanquest and myDevices, while PlanetArt continued to improve the effectiveness of its marketing investments. By continuing to focus on profitability, we expect to achieve our target for the EBITDA margin of around 10% for FY 2023- 2024. Claranova is now entering a new chapter in its development. After renewing its governance and management, and rescheduling the maturity of its debt, Claranova is now well positioned to seize profitable growth opportunities and create value for its shareholders, priorities that will be the key focus of the new strategic plan to be unveiled in the coming months."
