Pro forma gross profit in Q3 2022 reached EUR 60.9 million (33.9% of revenues), an increase of 12.0% compared to EUR 54.3 million (32.7% of revenues) in Q2 2022 and an improvement of 16.7% versus the EUR 52.2 million (34.4% of revenues) reported in Q3 2021.

“After nine months, our 2022 revenues remain at record levels. Our order books are well-filled and we’re working tirelessly to find solutions to maintain or even expand our ability to deliver,” said Christoph Glingener, CEO of ADVA. “The already high complexity in procurement, production and logistics is further increased by rising energy costs, inflation and strong currency fluctuations. We’re facing up to all these challenges. Our teams are working closely with our customers on a daily basis to provide them with the best possible support for their network expansion. We’re in a unique investment cycle that’s driving the rollout of a secure, digital communications infrastructure based on optical fiber. Our innovation adds significant value to any network and our company will continue to grow profitably.”
“Our revenues reached a new record in Q3. Despite the still tense supply situation, we managed to grow by 8.0% compared to the previous quarter and even by 18.3% compared to Q3 2021. This results in nine-month revenues of EUR 516.4 million, which represents a growth of 15.9% compared to EUR 445.6 million in the nine-month period 2021,” said Uli Dopfer, CFO of ADVA.
