MUNICH (dpa-AFX) - IT services provider Nagarro is likely to be less profitable in the new year amid strong sales growth. Sales of 1.02 billion euros are expected for 2023, the company announced in Munich on Monday. That would be a fifth more than management anticipated for last year. The gross margin is expected to remain unchanged at 28 percent. However, before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Ebitda) and adjusted for special items, only 15 percent of total revenue is expected to remain, which is one percentage point less than targeted for 2022. In response to the news, the SDax-listed share curbed its gain on Monday afternoon. It was last 0.9 percent higher./lew/jha/
