Data in EUR
The SaaS business line (Software-as-a-Service) includes services supplied to clients via cloud platforms, sold through mostly recurring multi-period contracts / c.d. subscriptions, by Beefree. The CPaaS business line (Communication-Platform-as-a-Service) covers the messaging services provided on a wholesale basis using APIs, especially supplied by the Agile Telecom Business Unit.
As a result of the sales closed in 2023, namely of (i) Growens’ business unit MailUp and stakes in Contactlab S.p.A. (now MailUp S.p.A), Acumbamail S.L., MailUp Nordics A/S and its subsidiary Globase International A.p.S. (collectively, the “Email Service Provider” or “ESP” activities) to TeamSystem S.p.A. for a total consideration of 76.6M EUR, as well as (ii) 100% of the share capital of Dutch-incorporated subsidiary Datatrics BV (“Datatrics”) to Squeezely BV, a subsidiary of Spotler group, for a total consideration of 1.6M EUR, in Growens’ consolidated P&L report, the ESP business, considering its significance and uniqueness, and Datatrics have been treated as Discontinued Operations in accordance with the IFRS 5 accounting standard.
Comments to FY2024 consolidated results
The full-year P&L posts total Revenues in excess of 74.5M EUR, showing a decrease of 0.6M+ EUR or –0.8% versus FY2023. Such result is mainly driven by the 23% growth of the SaaS component, for a 17% incidence on total revenues, balanced by the CPaaS -5% performance for an 81% incidence on total revenues.
The Agile Telecom Business Unit posted the biggest revenues of ca. 60.3M EUR, decreasing by 5%, consistent with the strategic project of improving margins even at the expense of revenue growth, against a total of 2.2B SMS sent during the year. The fastest growing Business Unit is Beefree, with a 24% increase net of the USD/Euro exchange rate effect, amounting to about 12.7M EUR / 13.7M USD in revenue. The ARR (Annual Recurring Revenue, a very widespread metric for measuring the performance of a subscription business, indicative of the average annualized recurring value of existing contracts) is equal to 16M USD as of December 2024.
Foreign revenues represent 81% of total revenues (-3% vs FY2023) whereas recurring revenues amount to 17% of total turnover (+23% vs FY2023).
Consolidated EBITDA is substantially balanced at -0.1M EUR, whereas Gross Profit exceeds 17.7M EUR for an incidence on revenues around 24%, growing 20% YoY. COGS decreased by 6%, and by 400+ bps i.t.o. incidence on revenues. Agile Telecom posts 2M EUR EBITDA, decreasing 33% YoY mainly due to a different allocation of intercompany costs resulting from the different scope of the group, but still decidedly positive in an extremely competitive market environment. The cost items that negatively impact EBITDA are related to the development of the Beefree Business Unit, regarding the Sales&Marketing component (+31%) and Research&Development (+56%); Beefree’s EBITDA is negative by about 2.8M EUR.
Earnings Before Taxes amount to -2.7M EUR, with 3.9M EUR depreciations (+26% versus FY2023), mainly due to capitalized R&D costs amortization. IFRS16-related amortizations amount to 0.5M EUR.
Consolidated Net earnings amount to 2.5M EUR loss; consolidated tax figures result from the mere combination of individual taxation on each legal entity of the Group. Money management is positive by over 1.3 M EUR thanks to financial income from low-risk securities investments made to maximize the profitability of liquidity not allocated in the short term for specific strategic investments, in addition to the positive effect of foreign exchange gains.
The consolidated Net Financial Position as of 31 December 2024 amounts to 13M EUR cash, substantially not comparable to the previously recorded net cash amount of 42.1M EUR as of 31 December 2023. The change is particularly influenced by the extraordinary dividend of 20M EUR paid in 2024, as well as investments on Beefree’s development, in addition to other dynamics related to VAT credit, trade receivables and payables, and the settlement of one-off items pertaining to the previous financial year. The effect of adopting the IFRS 16 accounting principle, relating to costs of rent, leasing, and rental, results in a notional debt item of approximately 1.3M EUR. Liquid assets and equivalents as of 31 December, 2024, amount to ca 17M EUR, while approximately 4.8M EUR are escrowed as customary as a guarantee of certain obligations related to the sale of the ESP business to TeamSystem.

Significant events occurred during the reporting period
During FY2024, Growens’ activity was marked by the following events.
On January 22, 2025, Growens announced the appointment of Justine Jordan, a veteran in the SaaS and email marketing field, as Head of Strategy & Community for Beefree, the Business Unit leader in offering no-code design tools that make it easy and fast for everyone to create digital content. In her new role, Justine Jordan joined the Management Team and reports directly to Beefree’s CEO, Massimo Arrigoni. Her responsibilities include directing the company’s strategic choices and ensuring that top management is aligned with key decisions. She also ensures that all employees are fully engaged in strategic goals and leads community-focused initiatives. Throughout her career, Justine Jordan has significantly contributed to the evolution of the email marketing sector. Named Email Marketer Thought Leader of the Year in 2015, she has led marketing for high-growth B2B SaaS companies, contributing to successful outcomes (such as Salesforce’s acquisition of ExactTarget) and holding key roles in companies such as Wildbit, Litmus, Help Scout, Postmark, and ActiveCampaign.
On March 19, 2024, the Board of Directors resolved to propose to the shareholders’ meeting the distribution of an extraordinary dividend of €1.58 per share, to be paid as follows: (i) First tranche – €0.79 per share derived from the distribution of extraordinary profits – payment date: May 8, 2024, ex-dividend date: May 6, 2024, and record date: May 7, 2024; (ii) Second tranche – €0.79 per share derived from the distribution of extraordinary profits – payment date: September 4, 2024, ex-dividend date: September 2, 2024, and record date: September 3, 2024. The Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting ratified the proposal on April 18, 2024.
On April 15, 2024, the Company announced that its U.S. subsidiary, BEE Content Design, Inc. (“Beefree”), had entered into an asset purchase agreement governed by U.S. law to acquire the email design business of the U.S.-based company Really Good Emails, Inc. (RGE). RGE owns, among other assets, a website and related software that offers a vast collection of email templates. The synergy between RGE’s website catalog, which allows users to get inspiration for creating their own campaigns, and Beefree’s software, which enables email campaign design, will allow the U.S. subsidiary to expand its audience and, consequently, its customer base. The transaction involved the purchase of RGE’s assets, including, in particular, the company’s website, related software, customer contracts, and trademarks used in business operations, for a purchase price of USD 400,000, plus an earn-out component of up to USD 6 million, contingent upon the achievement of certain profitability targets over the 2024-2026 period. Following the transaction, Mike Nelson (co-founder of RGE) has assumed the role of Head of Growth, and Matt Helbig (co-founder of RGE) has taken on the role of Senior Email Marketing Manager. Additionally, Justine Jordan, appointed Head of Strategy & Community at Beefree at the beginning of January, contributed to the organization and management of the Unspam events.
Allocation of the net result of Growens S.p.A.
With reference to the individual financial statements of Growens S.p.A., the Board of Directors has resolved to propose to the next ordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting the approval of the 2024 financial statements and the distribution of an extraordinary dividend of EUR 0.38 gross per share, for a total amount of EUR 4.8 million. This proposal represents a dividend yield of over 9% at current prices.
The dividend will be paid as follows:
- payment of 0.38 EUR per share (coupon no. 4) derived from the distribution of net earnings and extraordinary reserve either cash or in Growens ordinary shares, ISIN: IT0005040354 at the sole discretions of the shareholder;
- ex-dividend date April 28, 2025, record date April 29, 2025, period for exercising the cash/shares option from April 30, 2025, to May 7, 2025 (inclusive) and payment date June 12, 2025;
- in the case of payment in shares, at the sole discretion of the shareholder, allocation of 1 share for every 8 held on the record date, which coincides with April 29, 2025, with an implicit value of the allocated shares equal to EUR 3.04 per share (i.e. the gross cash amount of EUR 3.04 per share times 8 shares).
The shares to be allocated as a dividend, exclusively at the shareholder’s discretion, up to a maximum of 1,585,462, available in Growens’ portfolio on the ex-dividend date, are of the same category as those already held by shareholders receiving the dividend. These are ordinary shares that confer the same voting and economic rights as those already owned.
If the shareholder does not exercise their right to choose to receive the dividend in shares by the established methods, does not communicate their preference to receive shares, or does not hold the minimum required number of shares, an extraordinary cash dividend of EUR 0.38 per share will be automatically and exclusively assigned, gross of statutory tax withholdings.
The allocation of shares aims to limit the impact on the Company’s equity and financial structure concerning the portion of the dividend paid in cash. This allocation also serves as a form of investment remuneration for shareholders.
If the dividend is paid entirely in cash, it will fully absorb the parent company’s net profit, amounting to EUR 2,161,469, while the remaining EUR 2,658,338 will be covered using the extraordinary reserve. In the case of a partial use of net profit, the resulting difference will be allocated to reserves.
Calling of the General Shareholders’ Meeting
The Board of Directors resolved to call the General Shareholders’ Meeting, ordinary session, on 15 April 2025 to approve the individual financial statements as of 31 December 2024 and the allocation of the net operating result.
The notice of call will be published pursuant to law. Please be advised that, according to article 21, par. 2 of the Company By-Laws, eligible persons will be allowed to attend and vote exclusively through a Designated Representative.
Sustainability Report
The Board of Directors of the Company reviewed the fifth edition of the Sustainability Report for the year 2024. The new edition of the Sustainability Report, issued by Growens on a voluntary basis, has been created to communicate transparently and consistently to all stakeholders the values, strategies, and performances directly connected to its economic, social, and environmental impacts (summarized in the acronym ESG – Environmental, Social, and Governance), starting from the UN’s 2030 Agenda and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the “common objectives” to be achieved in areas relevant to sustainable development.
For the reporting process – which covers the period January 1 – December 31, 2024 – Growens has established an internal working group, representative of the main corporate functions, for the purpose of collecting the required information, identified in accordance with the GRI Sustainability Reporting Standards guidelines, issued in 2016 by the Global Reporting Initiative and updated in 2021.
As required by the GRI Standards, the data collection phase was preceded by the so-called “Materiality Analysis,” aimed at identifying the relevant issues that represent the most significant impacts of the organization on the economy, the environment, and people, including those on their human rights.
Starting from this reporting cycle, the materiality analysis has been integrated with the defined “double materiality” approach, which examines not only impacts but also the financial risks and opportunities that the Group may potentially “incur” due to external sustainability factors. This approach stems from a reporting obligation under the CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive, transposed into Italian law by Legislative Decree 125/2024), which will become applicable to Growens in subsequent reporting cycles.
Starting from 2024, Growens has implemented a roadmap to ensure progressive compliance with the CSRD, mapping out a series of ESG objectives and their implementation timeline based on regulatory requirements and the company’s operational context.
