C-QUADRAT Investment AG Report on Q1 2008
•Operating profit: EUR 2.0 million (2007: EUR 1.5 million)
•Profit before tax: EUR 2.4 million (2007: EUR 2.4 million)
•Net profit: EUR 1.9 million (2007: EUR 2.1 million)
Vienna/Frankfurt, 19 May 2008. In the first quarter of 2008, C-QUADRAT
Investment AG (ISIN AT0000613005) followed on from its extraordinarily
strong first quarter of 2007, despite considerably more difficult general
conditions. Although overall income declined in the first quarter of 2007
by 11% to EUR 11.7 million against the previous-year figure of EUR 13.2
million, in the first quarter of 2008 the operating profit was up
year-on-year from EUR 1.5 million to over EUR 2.0 million, an increase of
39%. In the first quarter of the year, a profit before tax figure of EUR
2.4 million was generated, the same level as the previous year (2007: EUR
2.4 million). For the first quarter of 2008, net profit totalled EUR 1.9
million (2007: EUR 2.1 million).
'As a result of the good performance achieved by the C-QUADRAT funds, high
performance fees were generated in the first quarter of 2007. The
considerable reduction in this source of revenue in the first quarter of
2008 due to the difficult situation on stock markets was offset by the
upturn in other operating income. Overall, a very satisfactory result was
generated in the first quarter, with profit before tax almost unchanged at
EUR 2.4 million,' commented company founder Alexander Schütz in response to
the result.
