Faced with a worsening economic environment and project postponements, Munic announced on Tuesday that it was abandoning its targets for 2026.

This announcement comes as the automotive data specialist reported a 32% drop in sales to 14.8 million euros in 2023.

In a press release, the embedded technology and artificial intelligence group explains that it suffered from increased caution among its key account customers, which led to several orders being reduced or even postponed completely to 2024.

After this 'disrupted' 2023 financial year, Munic says it anticipates - from a commercial point of view - good business momentum in 2024, which should result in a rebound in sales and an improvement in profitability.

However, the company says it has decided not to maintain its targets for 2026, which included sales of 100 million euros by this date.

The company nevertheless reaffirms its major ambitions for profitable growth over the next few years.

At around 3.30pm, Munic shares were down 16%, clearly underperforming a Paris market up 0.2%. The share price has lost 78% over the past 12 months.
