Over 58% increase in operating earnings in the first quarter of 2008
Ismaning (Germany), May 7, 2008 - Integralis AG, the leading international
IT security solutions provider listed in the Prime Standard of the German
Stock Exchange, closed the first quarter of 2008 with a substantial
increase in revenues and earnings.
At the end of the first quarter, the Integralis Group recorded total
revenues of 39.4 million (previous year 32.9 million), an increase of
almost 20% over the same period one year earlier.
With 32.1 %, the gross margin remained at the same level as in the previous
two quarters but fell short of the unusually high figure of 37.2 % recorded
in the year ago quarter.
However, the over 29% increase in the cost of materials was more than made
up for by lower other operating expenses of 2.8 million (previous year
3.2 million), as personnel expenses did not grow as quickly as revenues. At
1.1 million, EBITDA easily exceeded the figure of 0.8 million recorded
in the same quarter one year earlier, while operating earnings (EBIT) rose
by over 58 % to 0.6 million (previous year 0.4 million).
Earnings before tax (EBT) came to 0.7 million (previous year 0.4
million) on account of small net interest income.
Post-tax earnings rose to 0.8 million (previous year 0.4 million) as
the deferred tax assets exceeded income tax liabilities by 0.1 million.
Despite the muted outlook for the global economy, Integralis has entered
the new year notably more successfully than the previous year, the hitherto
most profitable year in its twenty-year history. What is more, the over 68
percent increase in order backlog is providing a solid basis for future
business. The Management Board thus still expects revenue growth of 10% in
tandem with a 50% improvement in EBIT for this year.
