Frankfurt, July 28, 2014. According to preliminary calculations Vtion
Wireless Technology AG (Vtion), one of the leading suppliers of wireless
data solutions for mobile computing in China, achieved an operating result
(EBIT) of 1.8 million Euros and an EBIT margin of 7.9 per cent in the first
half-year of 2014, therefore almost fulfilling its own guidance of 8 per
cent. In the same period of the previous year EBIT was 2.1 million Euros
and the EBIT margin was 7.5 per cent.
However, revenues with 22.9 million Euros remained behind the prior-year
result of 27.8 million Euros. Among the main reasons for this is the
decrease of sales from 3G wireless data cards and web cameras. Furthermore,
the company has decided to exit the business with the VCAM mobile cameras
in the second half of the year. Also, in terms of 4G technology products
and based on the developments in the Chinese 4G market, Vtion decided to
market a 4G router instead of the 4G wireless data card.
Altogether, these reasons lead to an adjustment of the guidance for the
full financial year 2014: The company now expects revenues of 48.0 million
Euros and an EBIT margin of 7.0 per cent.
Vtion's profit before income tax (EBT) declined by 3.9 per cent from 2.7
million Euros to 2.6 million Euros. Cash fell slightly by 7.7 per cent from
126.6 million Euros as at 31 December 2013 to 116.8 million Euros at the
end of the first half of 2014.
Vtion's equity position declined from 136.3 million Euros to 132.2 million
Euros. The equity ratio increased from of 89.6 per cent to 93.6 per cent in
the first half of 2014.
