The equity of INVL Technology, a company that invests in IT businesses, was EUR 23.352 million, or EUR 1.92 per share, at the end of the first quarter of this year, and decreased 1.93% from the start of the year.
The company’s investments in businesses it owns totalled EUR 20.48 million at the end of March, which is EUR 328 thousand less than at the start of the year.

“We started the year with a consolidation of business holdings, which we see as not just helping create competitive advantage in the Baltic countries, but also enabling an expansion of INVL Technology’s activities in countries of Northern Europe and making its businesses more attractive for potential investors. In addition, we continue actively looking for new investment opportunities, giving priority to acquisitions in Norway, Sweden or Lithuania,” said Kazimieras Tonkūnas, INVL Technology’s managing partner.
He said the results for the start of this year were due not just to the fact that some projects are still ongoing, but also to changes in the US dollar exchange rate. “Taking a longer-term perspective, the increases in most of the businesses’ revenues early this year are a basis for expecting a good year,” Tonkūnas said.
