Provisional Q3 turnover stood at 14.9 million Euro compared with 15.3 million Euro in the same quarter last year. At 1.3 million Euro, EBIT was almost the same as last years like-for-like figure of 1.4 million Euro. On a nine-month basis, however, FJA AG increased its turnover compared with the same period last year, growing it 1.6% to 46.1 million Euro (preceding year: 45.3 million Euro). EBIT rose 3.7% to 4.0 million Euro (preceding year: 3.9 million Euro). For 2008 as a whole, the Executive Board is also expecting growth in turnover as well as increases in earnings and profit margins, even though it wont fully hit the initial ambitious targets. The Executive Board forecasts turnover of between 62.5 and 64 million Euro (preceding year: 61.3 million Euro) with a further rise in the return on EBIT to around 9% (preceding year: 8.6%). Given the current macroeconomic climate, the Companys management views this as a sound success and confirmation of its business model. Underlining the efficiency achieved, FJA AG had a cash flow from operating activities of over 2 million Euro and recorded a further increase in cash and cash equivalents in Q3 2008. With cash and cash equivalents of more than 20 million Euro as at 30 September 2008, the Companys liquidity situation was comfortable. This provides a sound basis for the Companys future, positive development, which will focus on further development and market establishment of the FJA Insurance Platform®. Developments on the international financial markets are compelling all market players and thus also insurers to focus on their core business and increase efficiency. Although this may delay purchase decisions short-term, in the medium- to long-term it confirms the Companys solutions strategy as it offers insurers clear opportunities for increasing efficiency and cutting costs.
