Aschheim (Munich), May 15, 2012; Wirecard AG has enjoyed a successful start
to the new fiscal year.
Consolidated revenues increased during the first quarter of 2012 by 19.7
percent to EUR 83.6 million (Q1/2011: EUR 69.9 million). EBITDA lifted by
37.9 percent to EUR 23.3 million (Q1/2011: EUR 16.9 million). Taking the
one-off costs which were incurred in the first quarter of 2011 in the
amount of EUR 2.3 million into account, the adjusted EBITDA growth compared
to the same quarter of the previous year would have totaled 21.4 percent.
The transaction volume increased by around 29 percent to EUR 4.4 billion
compared to previous year period.
Earnings after taxes totaled EUR 15.3 million, which corresponds to
earnings of EUR 0.15 per share (Q1/2011: EUR 0.12). Cash flow from
operating activities (adjusted for transaction volumes of a transitory
nature) was up to EUR 18.3 million (Q1/2011: EUR 12.7 million).
In Q1 2012, Wirecard AG was able to further increase its customer base on
its core market of Europe and in Asia, and concluded promising agreements
with new customers. The Issuing business also enjoyed positive growth.
'We got off to a flourishing start this year, and I am taking a very
optimistic view for the remainder of 2012,' commented Dr. Markus Braun,
Wirecard AG's CEO.
Wirecard AG's Management Board is forecasting EBITDA of between EUR 103 and
115 million for fiscal year 2012. A dividend of EUR 0.10 per share will
once again be proposed to this year's General Meeting.
