- Turnaround at Subsidiary LambdaNet
- Further incorporations of enterprises and acquisitions
3U HOLDING AG was able to significantly improve profits in the first three
months. Given Group sales that decreased from EUR 24.77 m to EUR 20.99 m
due to the expected decline in the fixed-line telephony segment, net profit
for the period increased significantly from TEUR 127 to TEUR 663.
At EUR 2.97 m, EBITDA of the reporting period was almost on the same level
as in the first three months 2009 (EUR 3.06 m). The result improved by TEUR
536 in the first three months 2010, compared to the respective period last
year. Earnings per share are reported at EUR 0.02 after the first quarter.
The 3U HOLDING AG continues to show a very solid equity ratio. This ratio
continuously changed for the better and was at 49.96% on March 31, 2010 -
after being at 47.75% on December 31, 2009.
The Groups' liquid assets decreased from EUR 33.29 m on December 31, 2009
to EUR 30.14 m on March 31, 2010. Besides the redemption payments for loan
and lease liabilities of the segment broadband/IP, mostly investments into
the new Groups' Headquarters as well as the development of new business
units lead to a decrease of the liquid funds.
With the far-reaching package of measures, which LambdaNet's management
decided on in the fourth quarter of 2009, a trend reversal was initiated at
the Subsidiary and a significant improvement of all relevant key figures
was achieved. Therewith the Company develops according to plan and should
at least double EBITDA in the current business year and achieve a
substantial positive result in 2011.
The investment portfolio was further expanded in the first quarter 2010. 3U
HOLDING AG founded the management consultancy RISIMA Consulting GmbH,
together with a partner already established in this market segment. The
consultancy portfolio of RISIMA Consulting GmbH is based on innovative
maturity models in the areas of business process and risk management, IT
strategy and security as well as knowledge management and is being offered
to medium-sized enterprises as from the second quarter of 2010.
In March 2010 3U HOLDING AG acquired a majority holding in EuroSun
Vacuum-Solar-Systems GmbH. EuroSun Vacuum-Solar-Systems is an enterprise
for the development, production and sale of electrical industry products
and environmental technology goods, among others, for thermal solar plants
and the ORC technology involved in the generation of electrical power from
heat. It is thus a significant component of the Group's strategy in the
area of renewable energy.
Also in March 2010, 3U DYNAMICS GmbH was founded. From now on all sales and
marketing resources, which are and can be deployed group-wide for more than
one affiliated company will be bundled under 3U DYNAMICS.
