Key figures

Jo Maes, Ordina CEO, on the results

'Ordina can look back on a strong year. We adapted quickly to the new situation as a result of Covid-19. We were able to continue to provide our services with virtually no problems and our teams successfully switched to working remotely. And by responding effectively to client demand on the digitalisation front, we recorded excellent results in 2020. This resulted in net profit of more than EUR 22 million. In 2020, we recorded above-average growth in revenue from our business propositions. Belgium and Luxembourg once again delivered strong performances. And we also performed well in the Netherlands, although our revenue did lag slightly.

Our Ordina 2022 strategy, focused on providing our clients with added value with our five business propositions, is well on track. Our clients are extremely satisfied with our IT solutions, which help them to realise their digital ambitions. For instance, Ordina has helped KBC transform the personal assistant Francis from a mobile app into a full-fledged digital platform. Our employees have also embraced our strategy and say they really appreciate working in teams. This is once again reflected in the higher employee engagement score we recorded in 2020.

We have entered a new phase, in which we will focus on the acceleration of our growth. To make this possible, we strengthened our management team and appointed Joost de Bruin as CEO for Ordina the Netherlands, in line with our appointment some years ago of Lieven Verhaevert as CEO for Belgium/Luxembourg. We will focus on both organic and non-organic growth to accelerate the penetration of our business propositions in a number of niche markets.

I could not be more proud of how our people, in close collaboration with our clients, got their work done last year. It is thanks to their dedication and adaptability that we, as Ordina, delivered an outstanding performance in 2020.'
