Bechtle AG reports strong Q4/2012
- EBT grows by 8% to EUR28.5 m in Q4
- Revenues up 5% to EUR612 m
- Record revenue in FY 2012
Neckarsulm, 31.01.2013 - Once again, Bechtle AG was able to wrap up the
2012 business year with record revenues in the wake of a very strong final
quarter.
Both revenues and earnings in the fourth quarter were considerably higher
than the previous year's figures, marking it the most successful quarter in
the company's history. Preliminary figures suggest an increase in revenues
by some 5% from EUR584 m to around EUR612 m between October and December
2012. EBT rose by some 8% to approximately EUR28.5 m (previous year:
EUR26.4 m). The EBT margin improved from 4.5% to approximately 4.7% in the
fourth quarter.
In the 2012 fiscal year, the group generated revenues amounting to some
EUR2.1 bn euros, an increase of over 5% compared to 2011. At approximately
EUR79 m, earnings before taxes were around 8% below the previous year
(EUR86.3 m). This is largely due to extensive recruitment of new staff and
a consequential increase in personnel expenses. In 2012, the headcount
increased by an average of 634 people. The EBT margin decreased to 3.8%
compared to 4.3% in the previous year.
'2012 was a successful year for us. We've made significant investments in
our range of services, while growing at an above-market rate. In the final
quarter, we were able to exceed all key performance indicators of the
previous year. This tells me that Bechtle is on the right path', explains
Dr Thomas Olemotz, CEO of Bechtle AG.
Bechtle AG is due to release all confirmed figures for the 2012 fiscal year
on 14 March 2013.
