secunet Security Networks AG Grows to Record Level in 2014
- 2014 was the strongest year in the company's history
- 29% revenue increase, 79% EBIT increase
[Essen, 23 January 2015] secunet Security Networks AG (ISIN DE0007276503,
WKN 727650), a leading German supplier of high-quality, reliable IT
security and an IT security partner of the Federal Republic of Germany, has
met expectations for the previous financial year 2014 in full, according to
preliminary calculations: Revenues and EBIT were greater than in the strong
financial year 2012, the results from 2013 were clearly exceeded.
The preliminary figures published today by the secunet Group for the
financial year 2014 indicate a record year. The company achieved revenues
of 82.2 million Euros, an increase of 29% compared to the previous year
(63.9 million Euros). The earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) reached
a figure of 6.6 million Euros, exceeding the previous year's figure (3.7
million Euros) by 79%.
As in previous years, in 2014 the fourth quarter was again key to the
strong result: In the fourth quarter of 2014 secunet achieved revenues of
34 million Euros (previous year 22.6 million Euros) and EBIT of 6.2 million
Euros (previous year 3.8 million Euros). The outstanding profitability is
due to the high proportion of the product business and good utilisation of
employee capacity at the end of the year.
"The record year of 2014 is telling evidence of our strengths. We are
constantly expanding our portfolio of cyber security solutions and have a
long history of working on complex projects. This means that we have a
robust business that is focused on the increasing security needs of
customers", said Dr. Rainer Baumgart, chairman of secunet Security Networks
AG. "The result is sustainable and profitable growth."
