Jena, 16 May 2025 – Intershop Communications AG (ISIN: DE000A254211), a global provider of B2B commerce solutions for the upper mid-market in the manufacturing and wholesale sectors, conducted its Annual Shareholders' Meeting in person today. Shareholders also had the option of following the event digitally via the company's AGM portal. The Management Board, consisting of Markus Klahn (CEO), Petra Stappenbeck (CFO), and Markus Dränert (COO), answered questions from shareholders and presented key developments from the past financial year as well as the focus areas for 2025. CEO Markus Klahn explained the market trends in B2B commerce and provided an outlook on the company's strategic development. He particularly highlighted the positive analyst ratings from IDC and Forrester for the Intershop platform, which specifically praised the integration of AI applications – the dominant megatrend in the industry. Chief Financial Officer Petra Stappenbeck presented the significantly improved financial figures for 2024 and for the first quarter of 2025 (including a balanced EBIT) and explained measures for long term cost reduction. The cloud business continued to develop positively, the gross margin increased and the service business has stabilised with an improved margin since the beginning of 2025. Markus Dränert (COO) presented key initiatives for the current year, including the further expansion of AI functionalities, the migration of existing customers to the cloud and the introduction of autonomous AI agents as an extension to the already proven Intershop Copilot. Changes to the Supervisory Board There have been several personnel changes to the Supervisory Board. Mr. Oliver Bendig resigned from his position at the end of the past financial year and left the Board for personal reasons. Mr. Ulrich Prädel also resigned from his position as a member of the Supervisory Board at the end of today's Annual General Meeting for personal reasons. Günter Hagspiel, CEO of GUNTHA GmbH, Schwarzach, Austria, and Matthias Breuckmann, private investor from Frankfurt am Main, were elected as new members of the Supervisory Board at the request of Intershop's major shareholder, Shareholder Value Beteiligungen AG. The Supervisory Board will therefore continue to consist of four members in the future. Attendance at the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting was 56% of the share capital. With the exception of agenda item 7 on reducing the Supervisory Board to three members, the shareholders approved all items on the agenda by a large majority.
