Inside information: Gofore Plc’s Business Review 1-31 May 2024: Net sales at 16.8 million euros, significant deal with National Police Board of Finland
Inside information: In May 2024, Gofore’s net sales were 16.8 (17.2) million euros. The Group’s last 12-month (LTM) pro forma net sales were 192.3 million euros in. The Group employed 1,455 (1,400) people at the end of May.
CEO Mikael Nylund comments:
”Gofore’s net sales decreased somewhat from April’s. Our utilization rate however continued its upward trend. As we have done since the second half of last year, we cautiously recruit for direct customer needs only.
Customers’ savings continue to affect project portfolios, which means scaling down or even cancelling certain projects. Simultaneously, a healthy number of new projects have begun. In May, we were e.g. chosen to renew the Finnish police’s firearms registry with the National Police Board of Finland. Development of the new system is followed by maintenance and possibly continued development. This five-year agreement is worth an estimated 10 million euros to us.
A recent highlight has also been the result of our customer experience survey. Our NPS, i.e. net promoter score, was 65 in the spring, whereas it was 55 last fall. The IT services industry benchmark value we use is 36. This is an all-time high result for Gofore, and I am immensely proud of all Goforeans who have made this happen.
Our society’s digitalisation journey so far and its future are crystallised in the first book we have ever published, released last week. ”Humanely digital Finland” paints a wide picture of societal digitalization through the eyes of well-known organisations, e.g. our customers Finnish Tax Administration, Digital and Population Data Services Agency, social security institution Kela, the State Treasury, retail co-op SOK and Finnish national broadcast company YLE. The keynotes describe Finland as a leading country in digitalisation, where the biggest change has only begun. Finland’s services are now developed with new methods and by listening to the people, and Gofore is very much involved in this work.”
