Mutares SE & Co. KGaA has reported a successful financial performance for the first quarter of 2024. The company, which is known for its acquisitions in distressed situations, saw a significant rise in holding net income and group revenues alongside continued high transaction activity. Mutares Holding received an 8% increase in management fees and consulting revenues, totaling EUR 29.3 million. Thanks in part to the sale of Frigoscandia, the net income for the holding reached EUR 51.3 million.

On a group level, Mutares' revenues increased by 21% to EUR 1,346.1 million, while their adjusted EBITDA improved from EUR 5.1 million in Q1 of 2023 to EUR 14.0 million in Q1 of 2024.

Mutares also focused on expanding its market reach by entering India, which aligns with the company's long-term strategy considering India's growing economic significance. Additionally, the successful issuance of a EUR 100 million tap issue further supports Mutares' investment capabilities and strategic acquisitions.
