In particular, we now estimate an FY23E value of production of € 14.60 million, and an EBITDA of € 3.10 million, corresponding to a margin of 21.2%. In the following years, we expect the value of production to rise to € 23.10 million (CAGR 22A-26E: 20.8%) in FY26E, with EBITDA equal to € 5.50 million (corresponding to a margin of 23.8%), up compared to € 1.96 million in FY22A (corresponding to an EBITDA Margin of 18.1%).
