ad pepper media International N.V.: Preliminary/unaudited figures for 2013
Nuremberg, Amsterdam, February 21, 2014
Based on preliminary figures, ad pepper media International N.V. can post
its best results since 2006. All key profitability figures are positive.
The company's EBITDA amounted to EUR 4,964k (2012: EUR -4,165k), while EBIT
for the past financial year totaled EUR 4,690k (2012: EUR -4,631k). EBT for
the 2013 financial year amounted to EUR 5,293k (2012: EUR -4,733k). These
pleasing results were driven by proceeds from sales of company
shareholdings, especially Emediate ApS and Crystal Semantics Ltd, which
contributed a total of EUR 8,195k to earnings.
In terms of sales, the ad pepper media Group reported a 9.8 percent
reduction to EUR 49,627k (2012: EUR 55,022k). At 41.7 percent, the gross
margin remained roughly stable compared with the previous year's figure
(2012: 42.1 percent). By analogy with sales, gross profit in absolute
figures fell 10.5 percent to EUR 20,701k (2012: EUR 23,137k). This
development was mainly attributable to the ad pepper media segment, which
reported a 21 percent downturn.
Due to disposals of shareholdings, liquid funds (including securities
measured at fair value and time deposits) rose significantly to EUR 21,702k
(December 31, 2012: EUR 15,749k). This corresponds to EUR 0.94 per share.
The company still has no liabilities to banks. The equity ratio rose to
67.8 percent (December 31, 2012: 57.4 percent).
The 2013 Annual Report will be published on March 22, 2014.
