Overview

Administer Group is a multi-talent in payroll and financial management services, software services, consulting, personnel and international services. The company is the largest salary outsourcing partner in Finland and the leading expert in the fight against the grey economy. Administer's services are used by more than 5,000 customers, from SMEs to large companies, as well as municipalities and other public sector actors.

Administer seeks to achieve revenue of EUR 100m and an EBITDA-margin of 15% by 2026. The company has grown impressively in recent years driven by acquisitions, while organic growth has been modest. Near-term macroeconomic conditions have, however, proven to be a challenge, affecting both the company's growth and profitability. Cost savings measures taken in 2023 will slightly aid profitability, but larger improvement relies upon synergies from acquisitions as well as internal operational efficiency, further to be improved by pick-up in growth.

Administer - Profitability trend remains good

Administer's net sales declined by 3.9% y/y, reflecting the challenging market conditions that have weighed on this year’s sales development. This decline was anticipated, as the company revised its revenue guidance downward in October. Nevertheless, the turnaround in profitability continued as expected, marking the third consecutive quarter of positive profitability growth y/y.

Administer’s Q2 net sales declined by 1.3% y/y, mainly attributable to the demand for personnel leasing, which is more dependent on economic cycles than the groups other service sectors. EBITDA improved to EUR 1.9m (Q2’23: EUR 0.4m), slightly beating our estimate of EUR 1.7m.

Administer Plc – Company release 26 March 2025 at 2:15 p.m.

On 11 November 2022, Administer Plc acquired Econia Oy. After the acquisition, an error was detected in the financial information concerning the object of purchase provided to Administer Plc before the acquisition. As a result, Administer Plc presented the sellers a claim for price reduction. The dispute concerning the price reduction has been processed in arbitration between Administer Plc and Econia Oy’s former principal owners.

On 24 March 2025, the Court of Arbitration issued an arbitration decision in which the former principal owners were obligated to pay Administer Plc a total price reduction of EUR 0.7 million and interest on returns and arrears for this amount, and to bear most of the costs of the arbitration proceedings.

The arbitration decision reduces the purchase price of the acquisition, which reduces Econia’s purchase price debt and goodwill recognised on Administer’s balance sheet by a corresponding amount. The expenses have no impact on the company’s profit guidance for 2025.

CEO’s review

The year 2024 was momentous for Administer Group. We achieved the best EBITDA in euros in the Group's history, supported by our profitability programme and the new strategy announced at the beginning of 2024. I consider this a significant achievement, given the weak economic development in Finland. The improved profitability was reflected in almost all of our businesses.

Our net sales decreased slightly, which I cannot be completely satisfied with. The development of Finland's economy has been weaker than anticipated. This has been reflected in our business operations, especially in staffing services, where the volume of demand in the industry has suffered a steep decline. Although financial and payroll services are quite stable in nature, economic activity, or the number of pay cheques and vouchers, is directly reflected in our operations since we ultimately depend on the economic activity of our customers. In a recession, the market and the competition will always tighten, and the strongest will perform best.

At the start of the year, we rapidly set out to advance our revised strategy, which will help us find stronger synergies both in the customer interface and in internal organisation and operations. Unlike previous years, our focus was on profitability rather than growth.

We focused more strongly on creating added value for customers, for example, by harmonising the model for customer relationship management throughout the Group. Only by focusing on solving problems and ensuring the success of our customers can we be more successful in the long run. The Group invests in customer experience as well as develops and standardises ways to measure it across all our business operations. We are building a group-level model for customer relationship management to pursue synergies and growth opportunities, laying the foundation for a good customer experience.

The Group’s financial development in October–December 2024

In October–December, the Group’s net sales were EUR 18.7 million (18.3), showing an increase of 2.2%. Among the Group companies, the net sales grew in Silta. In addition, the net sales were affected by the consolidation of Kuntalaskenta’s figures with the Group's figures as of 1 September 2024.

In October–December, EBITDA was EUR 0.9 million (0.8), or 4.7% (4.5%) of the net sales. EBITDA improved by 6.6%.

The Group’s financial development in January–December 2024

In January–December, the Group’s net sales were EUR 74.7 million (75.9), showing a decrease of 1.6%. Due to staffing, the Group’s net sales are more affected by fluctuations in economic cycles than before.

In January–December, EBITDA was EUR 5.5 million (2.8), or 7.4% (3.8%) of the net sales. EBITDA improved by 93.1%. The company’s profitability programme is clearly reflected in the improved EBITDA.

Business area review

The net sales of Silta, which offers payroll and HR services, grew by 2.6% and were EUR 25.8 million in the operating year. In October–December, the net sales increased by 3.4% and were EUR 6.5 million. The sales pipeline developed positively particularly in the latter part of the year. The expert rental services we launched during the year have started well, and we will continue to invest in this activity, as well as in the public sector service market. We are studying the possibilities of utilising AI to help making processes more efficient and ensuring quality, among other things.

The net sales of Econia, which offers HR services and staffing, international services, as well as domestic financial management services, declined by 9.3% to EUR 21.6 million in the operating year. In October–December, the net sales declined by 8.5% and were EUR 5.1 million. The generally weak economic climate in Finland was reflected in Econia's operations, most significantly in staffing. Our sales of grey economy prevention services picked up notably in the latter part of the year, with customers representing domestic and international industrial companies as well as public administration. Domestic financial management services continued to grow steadily. 

The net sales of Administer’s accounting firm business grew by 0.2% and were EUR 18.1 million in the operating year. In October–December, the net sales declined by 1.5% and were EUR 4.4 million. The productisation and sales of additional services to our current customers progressed well, with tailored reporting services as a successful example. We will focus strongly on our major financial management customers and provide services together with the Microsoft Business Central ERP system represented by EmCe in particular. We continued the automation of operations and the utilisation of AI in the eFina system, which has made our operations significantly more efficient. Both the eFina system and the mobile app received several new updates and features. 

The net sales of EmCe, which provides software services, decreased by 2.0% to EUR 7.8 million in the operating year. In October–December, the net sales remained unchanged compared to the corresponding period of the previous year at EUR 2.0 million. Sales of Business Central, an ERP system for medium-sized and large customers, were active during the operating year. It is notable that we saw synergies with the Group's different business units in several transactions, reflecting success in cross-selling. The EmCe product family was developed in terms of payroll processes, and the end-user experience was improved. EmCe's software development expertise, as well as the software itself, is also increasingly utilised at the Group level.

At the end of the year, we clarified our brand portfolio by merging Adner, which provides financial management outsourcing services, into the parent company Administer. In addition, I would like to highlight the acquisition of the majority of Kuntalaskenta’s shares and the stabilisation of its operations as a strategic choice and a major success. The transition to quarterly reporting at the beginning of 2024 has provided our shareholders and other stakeholders with more up-to-date information. It has also better illustrated the seasonal fluctuations in our business.

Last year's improvement in profitability was significant, but we are still aiming for better. In 2025, we will concentrate on profitability, continuous clarification of our focus, responsibility, and determined implementation of our strategy. Digitalisation is already under way in the industry, and this trend is certainly not going to slow down. AI has also become a part of everyday life, replacing an increasingly large portion of the previously manual work of our accountants, among other things. In addition, I believe the accounting industry will continue to consolidate. The year 2025 is also an anniversary for our Group, as 40 years have passed since the establishment of the parent company Administer.

I wish to sincerely thank all our stakeholders for their good cooperation. I would like to express my special thanks to our customers and our personnel – we would not be able to achieve our goals without you. 

 

Kimmo Herranen
CEO

Outlook

Administer seeks to continue growth investments as well as organic and inorganic growth in 2025. Administer estimates that its net sales will be EUR 72–78 million and its EBITDA margin will be 7–10% in 2025.

 

Risks and near-term uncertainties

Interruptions or disturbances in Administer’s IT, network or communication systems may lead to unforeseen costs and malfunctions and be detrimental to the business operations of the company or its customers. Data security breaches targeted at IT systems and data links, or other data security breaches, may be detrimental to Administer or its customers and negatively impact Administer’s business.

Administer’s field of business is competitive, and the competition is fragmented, which may have a negative impact on the company’s operations if Administer is unable to respond to competitor pricing or service quality or fails to develop new products or services.

Corporate acquisitions are an important part of the company’s growth strategy. Administer may fail in integrating corporate acquisitions or finding new acquisition targets or an acquisition may fail.

Administer’s brand and reputation are important competitive advantages, and reputation damage might have negative impacts on Administer’s business and market position.

There are uncertainties relating to Finland’s economic development this year as economic growth is expected to remain slow. The reduced financial activity may also have negative impacts on Administer’s net sales and result through customer companies.  

The acceleration of inflation in Finland may also be reflected in wages and, together with personnel turnover, increase Administer’s expenses and weaken profitability if the company is not able to transfer the increased expenses into the prices of the services it produces. The acceleration of inflation may also increase interest rates and thereby impact the price of external funding of Administer. 

The company may not succeed in acquiring funding with affordable terms or at all, and its financing expenses may increase. Also, breaching the covenants included in the credit agreements of the company and its Group companies may complicate the availability of funding for the company, increase the company’s financial expenses, or lead to premature maturity of the Group loans.

 

Proposal for distribution of profits

The distributable retained funds of Administer’s parent company were EUR 35.1 million on 31 December 2024. The Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting to be held on 23 April 2025 that a dividend of EUR 0.05 per share be paid for the financial period 1 January–31 December 2024.

Company release 19 December 2024 at 17.30 EET

Administer Plc’s Board of Directors has confirmed the target group, earning criteria and number of shares for the second earning period of the long-term incentive plan

The share-based incentive plan for 2024–2028 consists of three (3) three-year (3) earning periods: the calendar years 2024–2026, 2025–2027 and 2026–2028.

As part of the plan, each participant can earn Administer Plc’s shares based on the fulfilment of the earning criteria. The Board of Directors will decide on the earning criteria and the targets set for each earning criterion at the beginning of each earning period. The possible rewards under the incentive plan will be paid after the end of each earning period.

In the 2025–2027 earning period, the earning of rewards will be based on the following earning criteria:

  • The company’s EBITDA (70%) in 2025–2027
  • The company’s net sales (30%) in 2025–2027 

The gross rewards payable under the 2025–2027 earning period correspond to the value of maximum of 906,600 Administer Plc shares, including the portion to be paid in cash. In the 2025–2027 earning period, the target group of the share-based incentive plan comprises key employees determined by the Board of Directors, including the Group’s CEO and Management Team.

The rewards from the share-based incentive plan will be paid partly in Administer Plc’s shares and partly in cash. The cash portion is intended for covering taxes and tax-related costs arising from the reward to the participant. In general, no reward will be paid if a participant’s employment or service in the Group ends during the earning period.

A member of the Management Team is obligated to hold at least 25% of the net shares received under the new plan until the total value of their shareholding in the company corresponds to 35% of the value of their annual salary. This shareholding must be retained as long as the participant is a member of the Management Team.

  • EBITDA was EUR 4.6 million (2.0), or 8.2% (3.5%) of the net sales. The company’s profitability programme is clearly reflected in the improved EBITDA.

  • Operating profit was EUR -0.5 million (-1.0), or -2.8% (-5.4%) of the net sales. The operating profit was weighed down by amortisation of goodwill from the acquisitions, amounting to EUR -1.0 million (-1.0) in total.

Key events

  • In March 2024, the company published its revised strategy. The strategy is based on profitable growth and efficient use of business synergies, both in the customer interface and in internal processes. Strategic projects are continuing as planned.
  • The improvement in profitability compared to the corresponding period in the previous year demonstrates that the company has succeeded in making a permanent turn-around in its profitability development.
  • During the review period, the acquisition of a share majority in Kuntalaskenta Oy was completed.

CEO’s review

I am satisfied with the implementation of our strategy, which was announced in spring 2024. Our strategic goal of making effective use of the Group's synergies is beginning to materialise on many fronts. For example, we have been able to offer our customers broader service packages. In addition to HR and financial management services, software is an important pillar of our business, and we have also utilised our group expertise in software development.

The new Group strategy is based on profitable growth and efficient use of business synergies, both in the customer interface and in internal processes. The strategy clarifies our operations as a group, providing a framework for both growth and operational development. We have four strong primary brands: Silta Oy, Econia Oy, accounting firm Administer, and EmCe Solution Partner Oy. The versatile offering of these companies creates a unique whole, where different services support one another. We are implementing our strategy in all business operations.

January–September 2024 was realised almost as planned. The one deviation from the plan mainly concerned net sales: our net sales decreased by 2.7% to EUR 56.0 million. The weak economic development in Finland and the general economic climate are reflected in the Group’s operations through our customers. Most of all, this has impacted staffing, while our net sales are also affected by the slower summer holiday season. EBITDA was EUR 4.6 million (8.2%). The measures of the profitability programme launched in August 2023 have been implemented, and we have achieved a permanent turn for the better in profitability.

During the review period, we completed the ownership arrangements of Kuntalaskenta Oy, where Administer Plc acquired the majority of shares in Kuntalaskenta Oy. Kuntalaskenta’s figures have been consolidated in the Group’s figures as a subsidiary as of 1 September 2024. The acquisition strengthens the Group’s business opportunities as a service partner for municipalities and the rest of the public sector.

The Group’s financial development in January–September 2024

In January–September, the Group’s net sales were EUR 56.0 million (57.6), showing a decrease of 2.7%. The decline in net sales was mainly due to the reduction in Econia’s net sales.

In January–September, EBITDA was EUR 4.6 million (2.0), or 8.2% (3.5%) of the net sales.

The Group’s financial development in July–September 2024

In July–September, the Group’s net sales were EUR 17.6 million (18.3), showing a decrease of 3.9%. The decline in net sales was mainly due to the reduction in Econia’s net sales.

In July–September, EBITDA was EUR 1.0 million (0.5), or 5.8% (2.5%) of the net sales. The company’s profitability programme is clearly reflected in the improved EBITDA.

Business area review

During the review period, the net sales of Silta, which offers payroll and HR services, developed positively.  In January–September, the net sales increased by 2.4% and were EUR 19.4 million. In July–September, the net sales declined by 1.1% and were EUR 6.1 million. The sales pipeline looks good, and our investments in expert rental services are showing in new orders. We are seeking improvements in the efficiency of internal operations through process integration and development, which is also in line with the Group strategy.

The net sales of Econia, which offers HR services and staffing, international services, as well as domestic financial management services, declined by 9.5% to EUR 16.5 million in January–September. In July–September, the net sales declined by 9.1% and were EUR 5.1 million. The generally weak economic climate in Finland is still reflected in Econia's operations, especially in staffing. According to the Group strategy, the goal is to expand the service offering within different customer relationships. As an example of this, a large Finnish company was initially offered a financial management service, and later the customer's service package has also been expanded to include HR services and grey economy prevention services.

The net sales of Administer’s accounting firm business grew by 0.7%, amounting to EUR 13.7 million in January–September. In July–September, the net sales declined by 3.4% and were EUR 4.2 million. The accounting firm business was successful in winning extensive new projects concerning the outsourcing of financial management. These customer relationships showcase the Group's synergies and broader range of services. We have continued to expand the automation of operations and the utilisation of AI in the eFina system, making the business considerably more effective. An updated version of the mobile app was released with new additional features.  

In January–September, the net sales of EmCe, which provides software services, decreased by 2.7% to EUR 5.8 million. In July–September, the net sales declined by 4.7% and were EUR 1.8 million. We have gained new customers both for our own software products for financial and payroll management and especially for the Business Central ERP business. In addition, we have successfully offered other Group services to EmCe’s customers. The EmCe product family has been expanded in terms of payroll processes, and the end-user experience has been improved. Emce's software development expertise is also increasingly utilised at the Group level.

The cyclical fluctuations in business operations are showing more clearly with the transition to quarterly reporting. Although the majority of our services are continuous in nature, the holiday season is reflected in the sales of expert and consulting services. In terms of profitability, I am confident that the turn-around achieved this year will be sustainable.

Kimmo Herranen
CEO

Outlook (new guidance on 22 October 2024)

Administer seeks to continue growth investments as well as organic and inorganic growth in 2024. Administer estimates that its net sales will be EUR 74–76 million and its EBITDA margin will be 7–9% in 2024.
