Diginex Executes Strategic Overhaul with Leadership and Acquisition Moves

Diginex KYG286871044

The sustainability-focused regulatory technology provider Diginex is undergoing a significant strategic transformation, marked by a series of acquisitions and a key leadership change in January. These moves raise questions about whether the accelerated pace can solidify a new growth trajectory for the company.

A central development is the appointment of a new Chief Executive Officer. Diginex announced that Lubomila Jordanova has taken the helm, succeeding Mark Blick, who remains with the firm as a strategic advisor. Jordanova is the founder and former CEO of PlanA.earth, bringing deep expertise in carbon accounting, decarbonization strategies, and EU sustainability regulations to her new role.

This leadership shift coincides with the completion of a pivotal transaction. In mid-January, Diginex finalized the acquisition of PlanA.earth GmbH. The company disclosed the total purchase price at approximately 55 million euros. This sum comprises 3 million euros in cash and the issuance of 6,720,317 new shares, valued at roughly 52 million euros.

A notable secondary effect of this deal is a change in the shareholder register. The transaction introduces Visa and Deutsche Bank as new significant shareholders in Diginex.

Key Developments at a Glance
- New CEO Appointed: Lubomila Jordanova
- PlanA.earth Acquisition: Total value ~55 million euros (3M€ cash + 6.72M new shares)
- New Major Shareholders: Visa and Deutsche Bank

Expanding the Portfolio and a Financial Snapshot

The company's January activity extended beyond the Plan A deal. Diginex also completed the takeover of The Remedy Project Limited on January 8. This advisory firm specializes in human rights due diligence within supply chains. Furthermore, on January 23, Diginex reported signing a joint venture framework agreement to develop ESG and decarbonization infrastructure in Mato Grosso, Brazil.

Financially, the most recent interim report (for the six months ending September 30, 2025) presents a mixed performance. Revenue saw substantial growth, reaching 2.0 million USD, a sharp increase from 0.5 million USD in the prior-year period—a jump of 293%. However, the operating loss widened to 6.0 million USD, compared to a loss of 4.2 million USD a year earlier. The company's net asset position was reported at 10.9 million USD, up from 4.6 million USD as of March 31, 2025. Diginex's balance sheet shows no interest-bearing debt.

In a separate capital markets event, the company raised 13.8 million USD in October 2025 through warrant exercises, which involved issuing 18 million new shares.

Looking ahead, a primary focus for investors will be how the integration of these January acquisitions influences future revenue growth and cost structures. This will be particularly scrutinized against the backdrop of the expanding operating loss, which occurred despite the strong top-line advance.
