Hoehr-Grenzhausen, 7th May 2010: IBS Group turnover amounted to 4,229K EUR
in the first quarter of 2010 and thus matched the volume of the previous
year of 4,312K EUR. IBS generated approximately 62 per cent of its overall
turnover with high-margin licence and maintenance business (Q1 2009: 56 per
cent). 36 per cent of turnover was generated with consulting services and 2
per cent with the trade of hardware products.
Turnover in Germany rose by approximately 9 per cent to 2,569K EUR (Q1
2009: 2,357K EUR). Turnover generated in other EU countries to the sum of
611K EUR more than doubled (Q1 2009: 266K EUR).
This was also reflected in the development of the single companies IBS AG
and IBS SINIC GmbH. Both companies achieved a considerable increase in both
turnover and performance.
IBS AG generated a turnover of 3,101K EUR (Q1 2009: 2,903K EUR), with
Earnings before Interest and Taxes (EBIT) of 372K EUR (Q1 2009: 163K EUR),
which corresponds to an EBIT margin of 12 per cent.
IBS SINIC generated a turnover of 300K EUR (Q1 2009: 194K EUR) and returned
to a positive EBIT of 17K EUR (Q1 2009: -56K EUR).
The IBS Group generated an EBIT of 236K EUR during the last quarter, which
corresponds to an increase of 95 per cent compared to the EBIT of 121K EUR
generated in the first quarter of 2009. The EBIT margin thus corresponded
to approximately 6 per cent. The Group surplus for the period amounted to
191K EUR, which represented a 48 per cent increase from the same quarter of
the previous year (Q1 2009: 130K EUR).
Liquid funds amounted to 6,071K EUR at the end of the last quarter (Q1
2009: 6,789K EUR) and continue to put the Company in a comfortable
position, enabling the Company to operate independently of banks.
The development of the volume of orders on hand from project and
maintenance orders was very pleasing. This rose to 11,188K EUR during the
first quarter of 2010, which corresponded to a 4 per cent increase from the
first quarter of the previous year (Q1 2009: 10,776K EUR).
IBS Group shareholder's equity amounted to 14,826K EUR as at 31st March
2010, compared with 14,378K EUR as at 31st March 2009. The shareholder
equity ratio improved, increasing to 68 per cent from 65 per cent as at the
reporting date of the previous year.
In keeping with the corporate strategy, the Company continued to focus on
organic growth, as it has been doing for a number of years. This led to
excellent liquidity and a constant increase in the shareholders' equity
ratio. The surplus liquidity is to be partly invested in the further
expansion of the Company's technological leadership and the appointment of
highly-qualified personnel. The Company's shareholders shall also benefit
directly from the balance sheet profits. A dividend payout of 0.10 EUR per
dividend-eligible share was granted for the first time in the Company's
history for the 2007 financial year. For the 2009 financial year the IBS
AG Board of Management shall once again be proposing a dividend payout of
0.10 EUR per dividend-eligible share to the Annual General Meeting.
The Company's quarterly report for the first quarter of 2010 will be
published on 12th May 2010 and will be available for download from
www.ibs-ag.de from this time.
