Gütersloh, July 27, 2012 - Reply Deutschland AG today published the results
of the first half-year of financial year 2012. In the group, the software
integrator achieved revenues of EUR 28.4 million, 8% below the previous
year. Compared to the first quarter 2012 revenues were stable. Earnings
before taxes, interest and depreciation (EBITDA) amounted to EUR 1.1
million following EUR 3.7 million in the last year. EBITDA-margin was 3.9%
(previous year: 11.8%). Earnings before taxes (EBT) were EUR 0.8 million
coming from EUR 3.1 million in 2011. Altogether, Reply Deutschland group
after tax and minority shares obtained a net profit of EUR 0.3 million
until now (previous year: net profit EUR 2.0 million).
On quarter basis the revenue has remained constant in the second quarter
2012 although it showed 10 % fewer working days. The productivity per
employee has improved correspondingly.
Liquidity and staff - Cash flow (according to DVFA/SG) up to now amounted
to EUR 1.0 million (previous year: EUR 2.7 million). Following the ordinary
course of business liquidity fell to EUR 11.6 million (end of 2011: EUR
16.2 million). The equity ratio was nearly constant at 60%. 391 employees
were active in the group at the end of June 2012, constant compared to the
end of 2011.
Status and outlook - Reply Deutschland AG confirms the forecast for the
year 2012 once more. The revenue shall increase in the middle single-digit
per cent area. We as well assume that the EBITDA margin will slightly move
above the 10.4% from the financial year 2011 in the complete year. So far
Reply Deutschland has developed slightly better in the course of the year
than planned. The project pipeline improves continuously and will increase
the utilization of the employees. Another customer who also will improve
the economic situation of this segment could be won in the segment of
Managed services.
