IBS AG (Prime Standard, ISIN DE0006228406) Announces Preliminary Figures
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
IBS Sustains Growth Trend in 2011
- Increase in consolidated turnover of 16.9 per cent to 24.9M EUR
- Slight drop in EBIT to 2.1M EUR due to greater investment activity
- Volume of orders or hand of 12.5M EUR remains high
- Increase in shareholders' equity ratio to 66 per cent
Hoehr-Grenzhausen, 22nd March 2012: IBS AG, a leading supplier of
cross-company software solutions for quality, production and compliance
management, listed in the Prime Standard of the Frankfurt stock exchange
(ISIN DE0006228406, WKN 622840), succeeded in sustaining its profitable
growth trend during the 2011 financial year.
Preliminary Figures for the 2011 Financial Year
According to preliminary figures, the IBS Group achieved its target of a
double-figure percentage growth in turnover for the 2011 financial year.
Preliminary calculations indicate a 16.9 per cent increase in overall
turnover to 24.9M EUR, compared to the 2010 financial year (previous year:
21.3M EUR). This growth was generated organically. Operating profit before
interest and taxes amounted to 2.1M EUR during the period under review
2011, compared to 2.4M EUR generated during the previous year. The EBIT
margin corresponded to 8.5 per cent, compared to 11.2 per cent achieved
during 2010. The lower EBIT margin is attributable to the establishment of
the Company's Chinese subsidiary, IBS Industrial Business Software
(Shanghai), Ltd., and to other China-related investments. Particularly
noteworthy is the customer project with the Chinese company TIANJIN NEW WEI
SAN INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD. (NWS). NWS is the first Chinese customer to
receive the entire IBS AG software suite. The software was successfully
commissioned during the period under review.
The result per Share rose from 30 cents to 35 cents during the period under
review 2011. The Group's volume of orders on hand, which comprises the
project and maintenance turnover for the next 12 months, amounted to 12.5M
EUR as at 31st December 2011 and as such was maintained at a high level
(previous year: 13.3M EUR). The 6 per cent decrease from the previous year
was largely due to a series of negative economic forecast announcements,
which triggered greater conservatism in investment decision-making.
Stable Financial Position
Operative cash flow amounted to 2.4M EUR during the 2011 financial year
(previous year 2.7M EUR). As at 31st December 2011 IBS AG held liquid funds
to the sum of 6.3M EUR (previous year: 7.2M EUR). With a balance sheet
total of 25.7M EUR (previous year 24.8M EUR), the shareholders' equity
ratio rose to 66 per cent (previous year: 65 per cent). Liquid funds and a
high volume of shareholders' equity continue to secure the IBS Group a
stable financial position.
The Board of Management anticipates further growth in turnover for the 2012
financial year.
The final Consolidated Accounts 2011 will be published on 28th March 2011,
within the scope of the 2011 Annual Report, and will be available for
download from www.ibs-ag.de from this time.
