UMS AG: Very successful second quarter 2012 - Earnings per share up 50% to
15 cents
Hamburg, August 14, 2012 - In the second quarter of 2012, UMS United
Medical Systems International AG (UMS/ ISIN DE0005493654) continued its
momentum from the start of the fiscal year, again increasing both revenue
and earnings: Consolidated revenue increased by 18% to EUR11.1 million, up
from EUR9.4 million in the previous year, while earnings per share
increased by 50 percent, rising from 10 cents to 15 cents per share. Thus
earnings per share grew by 29% in the first half of 2012, from 24 cents to
31 cents. Revenues increased by 16% during this period, from EUR18.6
million to EUR21.6 million.
The Urology and Radiology segments and the stable U.S. dollar were the
primary sources of the significant increase in revenues. Earnings before
interest and taxes (EBIT) rose by 21% in the second quarter of 2012, from
EUR2.8 million last year to EUR3.4 million. Net profit after
non-controlling interests increased by 36%, from EUR0.51 million in the
same period last year to EUR0.70 million this year.
On the basis of the Company's solid performance in the first half, UMS AG
confirms the earnings target of EUR0.60 to EUR0.70 per share for the
current 2012 fiscal year. The Company intends to continue its
shareholder-friendly dividend policy in 2012, provided that the exchange
rate for the U.S. dollar does not weaken substantially. For fiscal years
2010 and 2011, UMS paid a dividend of 50 cents per share.
'On the basis of the very successful first half and the positive business
trends in the past few weeks, we are very confident that we will reach our
goals for the entire 2012 year,' says Jørgen Madsen, CEO of UMS AG.
