GFT Technologies SE (XTRA:GFT) will look for acquisitions. Jochen Ruetz Chief Financial Officer said during the conference call on the full year figures 2023, "We will come back somewhat, but we will not get those last 0.2 EBIT-adjusted percentage points. And then Sophos supported, and we can exceed it on a group level, including the new acquisition.

And again, I always like to point out our acquisitions are self-financed via our cash flows. Our number of shares has not changed since 2023. And therefore, there's no dilution for shareholders in our M&A strategy.

It's self-financed, and we will plan to continue to go down this route, except if we would find a real transformational deal on the M&A side, and we would tap into equity. But so far, we'd rather focus on the midsized and smaller acquisitions. Sophos was more a bigger acquisition, targens was a midsized acquisition.

We will again do smaller acquisitions, and we will self-finance them for the time being".
