UMS AG announces key financial data for 2011 - Management Board and
Supervisory Board propose dividend of EUR0.50 per share - Forecast for 2012
is EUR0.60 to EUR0.70 per share
Hamburg, 27 March 2012 - UMS United Medical Systems International AG (UMS/
ISIN DE0005493654) today released its key financial data for the 2011
fiscal year. The Company, which offers mobile service solutions for
selected fields of medicine, generated earnings per share in the amount of
EUR0.47 (2010: EUR0.61). This lies within the adjusted bandwidth of EUR0.45
to EUR0.55 per share that was announced last August.
As previously announced, UMS AG expects to maintain its dividend policy for
2011. Management Board and the Supervisory Board therefore plan to propose
to the shareholders' meeting on May 31, 2012 to again distribute a dividend
of EUR0.50 per share as in the previous year. This dividend will be paid
from the company's capital contributions account for tax purposes.
According to IFRS figures, the UMS Group's revenues amounted to EUR38.3
million in fiscal 2011, as opposed to EUR38.9 million in the previous year.
However, if exchange rate effects are ignored, revenues grew by EUR1.5
million, or 4%.
Group EBIT for 2011 amounted to EUR11.6 million, as compared to EUR12.8
million in the previous year. Consolidated net income for 2011 amounted to
EUR9.2 million, of which EUR2.3 million was attributable to the Group's
shareholders (2010: EUR3.1 million).
Jorgen Madsen, the CEO of UMS AG, explains: 'Particularly in the first half
of 2011, two factors temporarily had an adverse effect on our earnings: the
acquisition of a competitor and the start-up phase of additional equipment
capacities in the radiology sector. In the meantime, we have almost fully
booked the additional capacities and successfully completed the integration
of the acquired competitor. This makes us confident that we will see
revenue and earnings growth in the current fiscal year.'
UMS expects revenue growth to continue in fiscal year 2012 and thus expects
consolidated revenues between EUR41 million and EUR43 million. UMS expects
earnings per share to increase significantly in 2012, to between EUR0.60 to
EUR0.70.
UMS will publish the complete audited financial statements for fiscal year
2011 on April 3, 2012.
