A solid end to a strong year and new financial targets

2022 was a successful year for Net Insight, resulting in our highest ever operating earnings for the full year. Despite challenges in the macro environment, we have maintained a focus on the strategy that underpins our growth. We developed our product portfolio and established time synchronization for 5G as one of our primary offerings.

In light of our positive performance in recent years, as well as long-term strong conditions, the Board of Directors has decided to review the financial targets. Our new financial targets in 2023–2027 are an organic average annual growth of at least 15% and an operating margin (EBIT%) that within the period will reach 20%.
