Strasbourg (France), October 31, 2024 - 2CRSi (ISIN: FR0013341781) publishes its financial
results for the period from March 1, 2023, to June 30, 2024 (a 16-month fiscal year¹). The
company’s individual and consolidated financial statements will be submitted for approval
at the upcoming General Meeting on December 19, 2024.
Revenue of €223M, Exceeding Revised Targets²
As announced in the press release dated July 25, 2024, 2CRSi achieved a revenue of €223M for the 2023/24 fiscal year, significantly surpassing the revised target of €190M set on May 2, 2024. This 16-month period includes revenue from Boston from March to June 2023.
Excluding Boston’s activities, 2CRSi’s consolidated revenue for the 16 months stands at €178.9M. Focusing on a comparable 12-month period (from July 2023 to June 2024), revenue reached €167.6M, representing a substantial increase compared to the previous year’s €34.7M (excluding Boston and for a 12-month period from March 2022 to February 2023).
Proforma Financials to Assess Operational Performance
To evaluate its operational performance across its new business structure, given the unique 16- month fiscal period ending June 30, 2024, and the divestiture of the Boston group, along with a shift from IFRS to ANC standards (French GAAP), 2CRSi has chosen to present additional 12-month consolidated financials for March 2022 - February 2023 and July 2023 - June 2024. These additional proforma financials³ exclude Boston’s contributions for March to June 2023 and follow French GAAP for comparability.
Proforma Results for 12 Months: Profitable Growth Momentum
The proforma results reveal a return to profitability, with EBITDA reaching €6.3M from July 2023 to June 2024, representing 3.76% of revenue, exceeding 2CRSi’s expectations. This improvement is attributed to significant growth in activity, along with tight control of operating expenses.

Growth Driven by Global Demand for AI Solutions
Supported by the surging global demand for AI solutions (servers and computing power for the Cloud), 80% of revenue was generated from AI-focused solutions equipped with Nvidia chips, establishing 2CRSi as a key partner of Nvidia.
Analysis of Key Expense Items and Net Profit
Material costs, covering components for new high-performance servers, reached €149.1M or 89% of proforma revenue for 12 months. Personnel costs were controlled at €9.1M (5.4%), with external costs tightly managed at €5.2M (3%). Financial costs were negative at €1.9M (1.1%). After tax, the net profit is positive at €2.4M (1.4%).
Outlook: Clear Path for Growth and Profitability Enhancement
Since the end of 2023, 2CRSi has entered a new hyper-growth phase driven by its “Godì” server solutions.
The strong demand for these AI-focused solutions has led to increased orders, setting the stage for a promising fiscal year ahead in terms of growth and profitability.
In the coming months, 2CRSi’s performance will benefit from:
- A robust order book and solid contract execution.
- The launch of new servers designed for dual-phase immersion (Atlas 1.8) and an advanced generation of “Godì” servers equipped with the latest Nvidia H200 AI chips.
- Expansion in data center infrastructure design and sales, supporting both equipment sales and recurring services, which will enhance profitability. Advanced discussions with major partners are underway to this end.

The fiscal 2023/2024 accounts (a unique 16-month period) reviewed by the Board of Directors on the date of this press release will be submitted for shareholder approval at the General Meeting on December 19, 2024.
