Financial position and key figures

In 2024, procurements under Hansel’s joint procurement contracts totalled EUR 1,718 million (EUR 1,593 million in 2023). The use of many contracts continued to grow compared to the previous year, although the savings in public administration started to affect the figures.

The company’s net sales in 2024 totalled EUR 17.7 million (EUR 17.1 million in 2023). The net sales consisted of service fees for the use of contracts totalling EUR 14.2 million (EUR 13.6 million in 2023), the sales of specialist services totalling EUR 3.0 million (EUR 3.1 million in 2023), and other service fees and revenue totalling EUR 442,000 (EUR 507,000 in 2023).

The operating result was EUR 845,000 (EUR 1,720,000 in 2023). The result for the 2024 financial period was EUR 1,198,000 (EUR 2,004,000 in 2023). Hansel made a profit for the second year in a row after several years of planned losses. The losses from the preceding years were the result of a reorganisation of the company and its ownership in 2019, following which Hansel immediately incurred expenses due to a personnel transfer, but profits followed with a delay because the company’s existing joint procurement contracts could not be opened for the new customers. The company’s financial items include changes related to investments. Hansel has no liabilities to financial institutions. A six-million-euro limit taken for managing electricity derivatives trading has yet to be needed. The company’s financial position is good.

Board of Directors’ proposal for the distribution of profit
