ATOSS Software AG: The success story continues with new record sales
and earnings for a seventh year.
31.01.2013 / 08:00
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Munich, 31.01.2013 - Provisional figures show that ATOSS Software AG
substantially increased sales in financial year 2012 to EUR 33.0 million
(previous year EUR 31.6 million). The core software business grew at an
even faster rate to reach EUR 20.1 million (previous year EUR 18.8
million). Operating profits (EBIT) amounted to EUR 7.6 million, up from EUR
7.3 million in the year before, with the EBIT margin unchanged at a strong
23 percent. The Munich-based specialist in workforce management has now
maintained continuous growth for seven years in succession, while creating
the basis for further excellent development.
The increase in sales recorded by ATOSS Software AG in the past financial
year was essentially attributable to the outstanding growth in the
company's core software segment. As a result, software accounted for 61
percent of total sales, up from 60 percent in the year before. Software
licenses accounted for EUR 7.0 million (previous year EUR 6.7 million),
with software maintenance contributing EUR 13.2 million in revenues
(previous year EUR 12.1 million). The marked increase in orders for
software licenses - which climbed 9 percent to EUR 7.5 million - was
particularly gratifying. Meanwhile, the consulting business generated EUR
8.7 million in turnover (previous year EUR 8.4 million).
The fourth quarter in particular boosted the company's success in 2012 and
added momentum for the current year 2013. With sales coming in at EUR 8.5
million (previous year EUR 8.2 million), ATOSS generated the highest
quarterly revenues in its history. The 28 percent increase in orders booked
for software licenses - worth a total of EUR 2.7 million - relative to the
prior year period was particularly impressive. At EUR 3.8 million, orders
on hand for software licenses on the December 31 closing date were up by a
strong 16 percent over the previous year's figure of EUR 3.3 million.
ATOSS again proves its profitability
The operating profit (EBIT) in the past financial year was up four percent
at EUR 7.6 million (previous year EUR 7.3 million). And despite increased
investment in sales and marketing, research and development, the EBIT
margin again reached the previous year's record level of 23 percent. Net
income for the year, coming in at EUR 5.8 million (previous year 5.7
million) developed slightly over previous year's level.
As a result the company set another new record with earnings per share of
EUR 1.45 (previous year EUR 1.43). The management board will propose to the
supervisory board a dividend of EUR 3.62 per share. This out payment
includes a dividend of EUR 0.72 (previous year EUR 0.71) in accordance with
the out payment policy in previous years and a special dividend amounting
to EUR 2.90 per share. The proposal concerning the out payment made by the
administrative organs of the company will be decided upon the AGM on April
26, 2013.
ATOSS scores with a robust balance sheet
Due to closing date effects the cash flow booked in 2012 at EUR 3.4 million
fell short of the previous year's figure of EUR 5.3 million. Liquidity was
up 2 percent at EUR 25.4 million (previous year EUR 24.9 million),
equivalent to EUR 6.40 per share (previous year EUR 6.25). The equity ratio
on December 31, 2012 stood at 71 percent, up 4 percentage points over the
year before.
Successful verticalization strategy continued
ATOSS is steadily pushing ahead with its successful strategy of
verticalization, which entails providing customers with a customized
portfolio of solutions dedicated to their own specific needs. ATOSS
solutions are firmly established on the workforce management market. In the
past financial year numerous high-profile new customers have opted for
ATOSS, substantially broadening the company's customer base in Germany and
abroad.
ATOSS is outstandingly well placed to set new records in 2013
ATOSS Software AG is ideally positioned for the currently year 2013.
Building on its already first-class orderbook, the company looks forward to
a continuation of the positive development seen in recent years. While
maintaining its investment in sales and marketing and the development of
new markets, the Management Board anticipates continuing growth in the
current financial year with an EBIT margin remaining above 20%.
