GoTo Group managed to record solid performance by the end of 2023. Thus, the company managed to achieve a positive adjusted Ebitda in the fourth quarter of 2023. The Company also managed to exceed its adjusted Ebitda performance guidance for 2023.

“Details regarding the performance will be provided at the company's performance exposure for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2023, which will be announced in March,” the statement said.
