Frankfurt am Main, 15 February 2024 – NEON EQUITY AG (NEON EQUITY ISIN: DE000A3DW408), a founder-led investor and growth enabler, announces its preliminary, unaudited key financial figures for 2023 according to HGB accounting and was able to significantly increase its profit. EBIT almost doubled from EUR 9.2 million in the 2022 financial year to around EUR 17 million in 2023. Profit before taxes amounted to around EUR 20 million, compared to EUR 12.9 million in the 2022 financial year, and also benefited from a positive financial result. Net profit for the year also increased significantly by more than 58% year-on-year to EUR 19 million. NEON EQUITY was thus able to continue its profitable growth in the 2023 financial year.

NEON EQUITY invested in the innovative health tech company EasyMotionSkin Tec and the electric car manufacturer Elaris, among others. These investments were successively increased in the past year. NEON EQUITY has also supported numerous companies in their growth financing, for example the international nuclear fusion company ALPHA RING.

NEON EQUITY will also continue to support companies with their growth strategy and capital market transactions.
