Highlights

 

Alma Media offers strong investment potential through a focused digital growth strategy, a diversified business portfolio, and a solid financial foundation.​

The following matters support investing in Alma Media:

1. Successful digital transformation

  • Alma has a proven record of successfully evolving from a print publisher into a digital service and media company. Digital revenue has grown from less than 14% to over 85% of digital revenue in 10 yrs.
  • Digital business is driven by scalable, cost-efficient operations and continuous innovation.​

2. Leading brands and market positions

Alma operates strong marketplaces and media brands across Finland, Sweden and Central Eastern Europe. Its services — such as Etuovi.com, Nettiauto, Kauppalehti, and Iltalehti — recruitment services prace.cz and jobs.cz in the Czech Republic, Profesia.sk in Slovakia and Mojposao.net in Croatia enjoy top positions in their categories and reach nationwide audiences.​

  • Alma Media has several strong media and service brands in Finland. For advertisers, we offer a large Finnish digital advertising network.
  • Our international business operations account for just under 40% of our revenue and approximately almost 60% of our profit. Our business is not solely dependent on our domestic market, which is characterised by slow growth.
  • Leading financial media and the national news media reach nearly 80 per cent of all Finns on a weekly basis.

In addition, we provide professionals and companies with comprehensive content related to business information, real estate information, law, financial management, expertise, management and marketing.

3. Resilient and profitable growth

  • The company’s agile, capital-light business model enables consistent profitability and high returns.
  • In 2024, return on equity was 23%, and Alma maintains healthy liquidity and a strong dividend capacity, aiming to distribute over 50% of annual profits.
  • Alma Media’s good dividend payout capacity is based on the Group’s ability to generate strong and stable cash flow. Our goal, on average, is to distribute more than half of our profit for each financial year as dividends.
