Pyrum Innovations AG (Pyrum) today published its consolidated interim report for the period from 1 January to 31 March 2024. Revenue in the first three months totalled € 336 thousand and was therefore around € 54 1TP3 thousand higher than in the same period of the previous year (3M 2023: € 218 thousand).

Due to the lower level of own work capitalised in the reporting period compared to the same period of the previous year, total operating performance fell by around € 1TP3k to € 2,177k (3M 2023: € 3,188k). At € 148 thousand, other operating income was around € 85 thousand higher than in the same period of the previous year (3M 2023: € 80 thousand).

The available liquidity as at 31 March 2024 was € 7,065 thousand (31 December 2023: € 4,275 thousand).
