Amadeus FiRe AG: Nine months results of fiscal year 2013
24.10.2013 / 09:22
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Frankfurt/Main, 24 October 2013. In the first nine months of the 2013
financial year, the Amadeus FiRe Group generated consolidated sales of EUR
105,844k (previous year: EUR 102,181k), an increase of 3.6%. Sales rose in
all services provided. Compared to the previous year, the first three
quarters had one chargeable day less.
Sales of individual services developed as follows:
- Temporary staffing + 1%
- Interim and project management + 19%
- Permanent placement + 8%
- Training + 10%
At EUR 44,752k, the gross profit for the first three quarters is up 2.8%
(EUR 1,212k) on the previous year's figure of EUR 43,540k. The gross profit
margin is therefore 0.3 percentage points below the prior-year figure
(42.6%) at 42.3%. The margin decline is primarily due to one chargeable day
less and the unusual high level of sick leave of temporary workers during
the first quarter of the calendar year. Positive margin effects derive from
the development of the high margin services permanent placement and
training and education sales.
Selling and administrative expenses increased by 3.6% in the reporting
period to EUR 27,671k (previous year: EUR 26,701k). The increase is driven
by higher expenses for training activities and IT.
EBITA climbed by 1.9% after nine months to EUR 17,133k (previous year: EUR
16,821k). The EBITA margin declined from 16.5% to 16.2% slightly.
In light of the current economic forecasts and the present demand situation
for the Group's services, the Management Board is forecasting that
operational result will virtually match the previous year's level.
