Based on further execution of its growth plans, the Company is expecting a full-year 2025 potential for revenues of Northern Data Group in the range of EUR 520 million to EUR 570 million. Adjusted EBITDA1) of Northern Data Group is expected to be in a range of EUR 50 million to EUR 80 million in fiscal year 2024 compared to EUR -20 million to -5 million forecasted for fiscal year 2023. Based on further execution of its growth plans, the Company is expecting a full-year 2025 potential for adjusted EBITDA of Northern Data Group of EUR 300 million to EUR 350 million. These numbers are based on the underlying assumptions for the Peak Mining, Taiga Cloud, and Ardent Data Center divisions.
