ZURICH Glattbrugg, 13 March 2023 – gategroup Holding AG (“gategroup”, the “Company” and together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”), published today its full-year results and Annual Report for the financial year ending 31 December 2022.

Revenues were increased by 84.8% to CHF 3.875 billion in 2022 (2.097 billion in 2021).

EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization) has increased by 65.5% to a level of CHF 100.1 million (vs CHF 60.5 million in 2021).

Cash and cash equivalents were at CHF 208.1 million as per December 31, 2022 compared to CHF 246.6 million at the end of 2021.

“Despite 2022 being an exceptionally challenging year for the aviation industry due to the unprecedented volume increase combined with historically high inflation rates, supply chain disruption and shortages in the labor market, we have kept our operations stable and managed to double the size of our business.” says Christoph Schmitz, CEO of gategroup. “With several significant contract wins, an expansion of our food services and packaging business and a stable customer portfolio we managed to rehire more than 11,750 employees since the beginning of 2021 and are well positioned to capitalize on the further recovery of the market in 2023.”

The audited 2022 Financial Statements and the 2022 Annual Report of gategroup are available here.
