IBS AG Announces Preliminary Figures for the Short Financial Year 2012
- Preliminary figures confirm initial indications as at 28th November
2012
- Group profit for period burdened by fiscal effect
- High volume of orders on hand reinforces positive outlook
Hoehr-Grenzhausen, 14th December 2012 - IBS AG excellence, collaboration,
manufacturing, listed in the Prime Standard of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange
(ISIN DE0006228406), has today released its preliminary figures for the
short financial year 2012 (1st January - 30th September 2012). According to
the submitted figures, which confirm the initial indication announced on
28th November 2012, prior to the Extraordinary General Meeting, the IBS
Group generated an EBIT of approximately -0.8M EUR with sales revenue of
approximately 18.4M EUR during the nine months of the short financial year
2012.
EBIT Burdened by One-time Special Effects
As already announced, EBIT was burdened by, inter alia, one-time special
effects to the sum of approximately 1.1M EUR during the short financial
year 2012. Furthermore, IBS AG continued to make sustainable investments in
research and development and in the expansion of its workforce, aimed at
developing further growth potentials. This resulted in a notable increase
in personnel costs, which were not offset by any significant increase in
turnover during the period under review. The annual result was also
burdened by balance sheet adjustments in deferred taxes during the short
financial year 2012. The lower volume of deferred taxes to the sum of 2.04M
EUR was recognised in the income statement. According to preliminary
calculations, the Group profit for the period amounted to approximately
-3.0M EUR for the period under review. This corresponds to Earnings per
Share of -0.44 EUR.
Increase of 16.5 per cent in Volume of Orders on Hand
Liquid funds fell by approximately 37.6 per cent to 3.9M EUR during the
period under review (31st December 2011: 6.3M EUR). The lower volume of
liquid funds was largely attributable to the acquisition of business
premises in Hoehr-Grenzhausen at the purchase price of 2.035M EUR plus
incidental acquisition costs, a dividend payout for the 2011 financial year
to the sum of 1.032M EUR and to one-time charges arising from the
implementation of the expenditure statement-related special effects. The
sale of Treasury Stock resulted in an inflow of funds to the sum of 1.558M
EUR during the short financial year 2012. The Group's shareholders' equity
allocated to the owner of the parent company amounted to 14.5M EUR as at
the balance sheet closing date of 30th September 2012 (31st December 2011:
16.9M EUR). The shareholders' equity ratio of 62.6 per cent highlights the
strong position of the IBS Group (31st December 2011: 65.6 per cent). The
volume of orders on hand from project and maintenance orders amounted to
approximately 14.5M EUR as at 30th September 2012 and was thus 16.5 per
cent higher than the comparative volume as at 31st December 2011 (12.5M
EUR).
Sustainable Increase in EBIT Margin Planned
The IBS Board of Management anticipates a positive business development for
the 2012/2013 and 2013/2014 financial years, provided that the global
economy does not undergo any further long-term deterioration. The potential
use of existing Siemens sales channels for the sale of IBS software
products may accommodate further growth in turnover. Realisation of the
synergies arising from the co-operation with the Siemens Group, however,
will require the IBS Group to undertake advance investments, in particular
within the scope of interface programming and the strengthening of sales
channels. Such investments will have a negative effect on the Company's
EBIT. In spite of these negative factors, the IBS Board of Management
expects a positive EBIT for the 2012/2013 financial year and a sustainable
increase in EBIT margin from the 2013/2014 financial year, according to
plan.
The aforementioned figures are subject to the results of the ongoing
financial audit.
The report on the short financial year 2012 will be published on 21st
December 2012 and will be available for download in German and English
language from www.ibs-ag.de from this time.
