Martela's 2024 Revenue and Operating Result: A Closer Look

Martela, a Nordic leader in user-centric working and learning environments, recently released preliminary information on its 2024 revenue and operating result. The company's operating result did not reach the level released in the guidance for 2024, with revenue and operating result decreasing compared to the previous year. Revenue was approximately EUR 87 million, down from EUR 94.4 million in 2023, and the operating loss was EUR 6.3-6.7 million, compared to an operating loss of EUR 2.4 million in 2023.

The fourth quarter of 2024 saw a decrease in revenue and operating result compared to the same period last year. Fourth quarter revenue was approximately EUR 25 million, down from EUR 26.4 million in 2023, and the operating loss was EUR 1.6-2.0 million, compared to an operating profit of 1.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. Martela attributed this weaker performance to tight competition in the markets, which weighed down margins both in Finland and in other market areas.



Martela has started planning measures to improve operational efficiency as announced on 3.1.2025. The company's outlook for the early part of 2025 is more positive than for the corresponding period in 2024. Despite the challenges faced in 2024, Martela remains committed to enhancing its operational efficiency and navigating the competitive market landscape.

In conclusion, Martela's 2024 revenue and operating result reflect the impact of intense competition in the markets and the postponement of deliveries. The company's strategic planning for operational efficiency improvements and a more positive outlook for 2025 indicate a proactive approach to addressing these challenges. Investors and stakeholders should closely monitor Martela's progress as it works to navigate the competitive market landscape and improve its financial performance.
