Substantial increase in revenues and solid earnings for the period
- Integralis consultants boasting a strong competitive position
- Total contract volumes in excess of EUR 100 million for the first time
Ismaning, 14 May 2010 - In the traditionally weak first quarter, Prime
Standard-listed Integralis AG, the leading international IT security
solutions provider, posted a substantial 8.6 percent increase in revenues,
thus exceeding the year-ago period and also beating the revenue levels of
the first three quarters of last year.
All segments recorded a substantial rise in revenues in the period under
review. At over 14 percent, the growth in the consulting, integration and
training segments was particularly pronounced, thus reflecting the high
esteem in which Integralis consultants are held in the relevant market
segment. Managed Security Services (MSS) also achieved double-digit growth
in revenues.

Consolidated revenues 45,601 41,978 8.6
percent, with revenues rising to EUR 19.9 million (previous year EUR 14.7
million). Business in the GAS region (Germany, Austria and Switzerland) was
initially slow, causing revenues to contract to EUR 10.8 million in the
first quarter (previous year EUR 12.4 million). However, March saw a
substantial recovery. Buoyed by currency-translation effects in the wake of
the appreciation of the dollar against the euro, US revenues grew by a
similar rate as in the UK, rising to EUR 9.9 million (previous year EUR 7.7
million).
At 32.6%, the gross margin was down on the year-ago quarter (33.9%).
However, the trend towards a narrower margin, which had emerged in the
second half of last year in the wake of mounting price pressure, failed to
continue.
Whereas the cost of materials rose more quickly than revenues to EUR 30.7
million (previous year EUR 27.7 million), personnel costs were somewhat
flatter, climbing by 7.3 percent to EUR 10.3 million (previous year EUR 9.6
million). Gross profit came to EUR 14.9 million (previous year EUR 14.2
million). Net of other operating expenses, which were cut to EUR 4.3
million (previous year EUR 4.6 million), Integralis achieved EBITDA of EUR
0.4 million (previous year EUR 0.2 million) but sustained a minor loss at
the EBIT level of EUR 0.2 million (previous year loss of EUR 0.3 million).
Allowing for deferred income tax assets of EUR 0.9 million (previous year
EUR 0.4 million) post-tax profit rose substantially to EUR 0.6 million
(previous year EUR 0.0 million).

books were well up on the previous year.
Total contract volumes, an important indicator of future and recurring
revenues, reached a new record of EUR 105.8 million (previous year EUR 95.5
million), thus exceeding the magic EUR 100 million mark for the first time.
Looking forward over the next few quarters, it should be possible to
harness cost advantages from the adjustments which have been implemented in
Sweden and France. Accordingly, management remains confident of achieving
the forecast revenue growth of around 10 percent in tandem with EBITDA of
over EUR 5 million for 2010 as a whole.
'In addition to our own services, the revenues generated by Integralis
consultants were also well up on the market average,' says CEO Georg Magg.
'On the strength of total contract volumes, which have exceeded EUR 100
million, Integralis has a good basis for further business throughout the
rest of 2010.'
