Gütersloh, 27.01.2011 - syskoplan has announced the results of the fourth
quarter and the complete financial year 2010 today - subject to the
auditor's report. In Q4 2010 a group revenue of 16.5 million Euros was
achieved, 24% above the respective quarter of last year. This result
represented the highest quarterly revenue in the history of syskoplan.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA)
amounted to 2.6 million Euros (Q4 2010: 1.1 million Euros); this refers to
a margin of 15.5%. Earnings before taxes (EBT) increased to 1.4 million
Euros following a loss of 0.2 million Euros in Q4 2009.

In financial year 2010, group revenue increased by 9% to 60.2 million
Euros. EBITDA rose to 5.9 million Euros following 4.0 million Euros in
2009. EBITDA-margin improved from 7.2% to 9.8%. All in all syskoplan
exceeded its guidance for 2010, raised in October. syskoplan posted an EBT
of 3.6 million Euros (2009: 1.6 million Euros). Net profit - after taxes
and minority interests - increased to 2.2 million Euros following 0.1
million Euros in 2009. Per share this equated to a result of 46 Cents
(previous year: 1 Cent).

syskoplan liquidity amounted to 22.0 million Euros following 19.9 million
Euros at the end of 2009. The equity ratio was circa 57%. 409 employees
were active in the group at the end of the year (2009: 424).

For financial year 2011 syskoplan expects the accelerated demand for IT
services, essentially borne by catch-up effects following previously
postponed IT investments, will normalize in the course of the year. Against
this background and under the assumption of no appearance of economic
burdens from the debt crisis of financially weak Euro-states syskoplan
expects a middle single-digit revenue growth. Moreover, we expect a
slightly improved EBITDA margin.
