FP Group expects revenue and profit growth in years to come
- Revenue of EUR 159.4 million and EBITDA before restructuring costs of
EUR 21.8 million generated in 2011
- Revenue and profit expected to increase in the next few years
- Revenue of EUR 175 million and EBITDA of EUR 30 million envisaged by
2014
Birkenwerder, 19 April 2012. Francotyp-Postalia Holding AG, the first
multi-channel provider for mail communications, presented its consolidated
financial statements for the 2011 financial year today. The final figures
for revenue and EBITDA proved slightly better than reported in February
when the preliminary figures were presented. For the years to come, the
Group anticipates positive revenue and profit development.
The group's revenue increased to EUR 159.4 million in 2011, compared with
EUR 147.3 million in the previous year. Due to the restructuring and the
mostly one-off expenses, the FP Group generated EBITDA (earnings before
interest, taxes, net financial income, depreciation and amortisation) of
EUR 13.1 million, compared to EUR 25.5 million in the previous year. Before
restructuring costs, the Group generated EBITDA of EUR 21.8 million. On
balance, the company posted consolidated net income before non-controlling
interests in 2011 of EUR -4.6 million. In 2010, consolidated net profit had
been EUR 2.7 million. Earnings per share amounts to EUR -0.27, in
comparison with EUR 0.23 for 2010.
Positive revenue and profit forecast
'In 2011, we have created the crucial conditions for our company's future
profitable growth', said Hans Szymanski, Chief Executive Officer of FP. In
addition to the establishment of new production in Wittenberge, the company
pressed ahead with the development of the new PostBase franking system in
the past year. The FP Group also successfully entered fully electronic mail
communication. Since March 2012, it is the first certified De-Mail provider
in Germany.
The company has developed from a manufacturer of franking machines into a
multi-channel provider. It is therefore able to serve every dispatch
channel relating to letters - from the franking and inserting of physical
letters via consolidation all the way to hybrid mail and fully electronic
dispatch and receipt via De-Mail. 'This strategy puts us in an excellent
position. We are combining analogue with digital mail communication and
will benefit from this in the long term', says Andreas Drechsler, Chief
Sales Officer of Francotyp-Postalia Holding AG.
In the first quarter of the current year, the company completed the
development of production in Wittenberge and the discontinuation of
production in Birkenwerder. In this period, the FP Group still had some
challenges to overcome in the supply and processing chain. However, the new
production is expected to lead to savings of around EUR 3 million annually
from the second quarter of 2012. Overall, the company forecasts revenue of
at least EUR 161 million, EBITDA of at least EUR 25 million and EBIT of EUR
12 million for 2012. The FP Group anticipates continued growth in financial
year 2013. Here, the company expects at least to be able to achieve revenue
of EUR 168 million and EBITDA of EUR 27 million.
Moreover, the FP Group has set itself medium-term target figures. By 2014,
the company expects revenue of EUR 175 million, EBITDA of EUR 30 million,
EBIT of around EUR 16 million and Group profit of approximately EUR 8
million.
