The Novian IT group's consolidated revenue reached EUR 38.9 million in 2024, reflecting a 2.4% increase compared to the previous year. This growth can be attributed to the company's dedication to IT solutions and innovative approaches in the technology sector. In the same year, Novian achieved an impressive EBITDA of EUR 2.57 million, marking a 2.1-fold increase over the previous year's results. The operating profit surged to EUR 1.5 million, showing an outstanding growth rate of 14.3 times compared to 2023.
Revenue Composition Across Various Segments
In evaluating revenue sources, it was found that 59% of Novian's income stemmed from IT solutions, with an additional 24% from software development, and 17% originating from IT services. The group's operations spanned across 37 countries, demonstrating a significant presence, where 77% of the revenue was generated in Lithuania, 12% from other parts of Europe, and 11% from the rest of the world.
Leadership’s Perspective on Growth and Innovations
CEO Tomas Vitkus expressed satisfaction regarding the group's performance, noting that success in the IT industry hinges on collaborative efforts with clients to foster innovation. He emphasized that the future direction for Novian will pivot toward national institutional projects, defense initiatives, artificial intelligence advancements, and high-performance computing solutions, particularly in response to climate change challenges and the exploration of quantum technologies.
Defending Digital Innovations Amid Rising Challenges
As digital security becomes increasingly critical, Vitkus highlighted the necessity for technological solutions that leverage artificial intelligence and innovative programming to enhance defense capabilities in Lithuania and Europe. The company is committed to contributing its expertise to critical defense-related projects.
Defence and Aerospace Projects Showcase Industry Leadership
Novian's achievements in the software services domain were not limited to their core offerings; the last year also saw groundbreaking activities in defense, aviation, and space projects, undertaken in collaboration with European partners. The company has been active in various defense projects since 2004, with seven initiatives funded by the European Commission launched in 2024. Currently, Novian is engaged in four key projects, including PEONEER and SESIOP, focusing on enhancing military interoperability and developing advanced ammunition technology.
Innovating Against Hybrid Threats
Continuing its commitment to security, Novian is developing the HIPSTER project, which focuses on creating a sophisticated software system to identify and neutralize hybrid threats. This initiative uses advanced technologies like OSINT, SocMINT, NLP, and AI to automatically detect threats and implement countermeasures, aligning the project's goals with broader EU initiatives.
Embracing New Markets and Startup Ecosystems
In addition to its defense contributions, Novian has also expanded its scope into the public sector with cloud computing projects in African nations. The company continues to enhance its service portfolio by offering comprehensive IT infrastructure solutions and introducing high-performance computing technologies designed for weather forecasting and climate change modeling. Gytis Umantas, CEO of Novian Technologies, noted the company's significant role in establishing a quantum technology ecosystem, which recently resulted in the presentation of guidelines to develop such technologies within Lithuania.
Collaborative Projects with Global Institutions
A noteworthy aspect of Novian’s innovation strategy is its collaboration with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) through the International Science and Technology Initiatives Programme (MISTI). This partnership aims to maximize AI advancements and develop solutions aimed at improving public safety while combating climate change.
Financial Valuation and Strategic Outlook
According to an independent valuation conducted by Deloitte Verslo Konsultacijos, Novian's fair value was assessed at nearly EUR 22 million at the end of 2024, representing an 11.7% increase from 2023. This valuation shines a light not only on the financial performance of the group but also reflects the potential repercussions of a pending legal situation regarding a project contract for the Central Public Procurement Information System.
