Preliminary Group revenues of EUR 828.9 million (2013: 613.8 million) for the full year 2014 reflect the Group's growth of 35.0 percent year-on-year.

Preliminary Group EBITDA adjusted for one-off effects grew 63.2 percent from EUR 33.4 million up to EUR 54.5 million in 2014. This corresponds to an adjusted EBITDA margin of 6.6 percent compared to 5.4 percent in 2013. The one-off effects of EUR 2.9 million in 2014 are composed of external expenses in connection with acquisitions, not to be capitalized pursuant to IFRS, as well as one-time restructuring costs for subsidiaries, which should improve Group profits in the future. Preliminary Group EBITA (earnings before interest, tax and amortization on intangible assets) adjusted for the above-mentioned one-off effects is EUR 42.9 million. This is equivalent to an increase of 67.6 percent compared to the previous year's Group EBITA of EUR 25.6 million.
