Financial targets focus on sustained earnings growth and continued deleveraging
The Board of Directors of Acroud AB (publ) has today adopted new financial targets for the three-year period 2026-2028.
The financial targets are:
The targets reflect Acroud's continued transition from financial restructuring towards sustainable earnings growth, strong cash generation and disciplined capital allocation. Following a strong first quarter of 2026, where the net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio was reduced to 2.1x, the Board believes that Acroud has established a solid foundation for the coming three-year period.
Acroud has historically allocated a significant share of its cash flow towards earnout obligations and other acquisition-related liabilities. Following the settlement of these legacy obligations, an increasing proportion of the Group's future cash generation can be allocated more discretionarily between organic growth initiatives offering attractive returns and the continued reduction of financial leverage.
The Board believes that Acroud's scalable SaaS platform, the extensive project portfolio within the iGaming Affiliation Segment and the Group's continued focus on operational efficiency provide a strong foundation for delivering on the new targets.
"Following a good start to 2026, we are entering the next phase of Acroud's development from a materially stronger position. Our focus is not solely on growing adjusted EBITDA, but on converting that growth into cash flow and using the cash generated in a disciplined manner. With the legacy earnout obligations behind us, we have greater flexibility to invest in the most attractive organic opportunities while continuing to reduce our financial leverage," said Mikael Strunge, President and CEO of Acroud.
The financial targets represent Acroud's ambitions for the period as a whole and should not be interpreted as financial guidance for individual quarters or financial years.
