2011: 6,573K EUR). Turnover generated in Germany and other EU countries
rose by 3 per cent to 4,810K EUR (Q4 2011: 4,671K EUR). There was a
disproportionate increase in turnover generated outside the EU, which rose

overall turnover, the proportion of foreign turnover rose from 36.4 per

Compared to the fourth quarter result of 2011, the IBS Group's operating
result before interest and taxes (EBIT) improved during the period from
October to December 2012, rising by 95.4 per cent to 1,102K EUR (Q4 2011:
564K EUR). The EBIT margin rose from 8.6 per cent, during the same period
of the previous year, to 14.4 per cent. The seasonally-influenced EBIT
margin tends to be at its strongest during the October to December quarter
of the financial year. The Group surplus for the first quarter of 2012/2013
amounted to 993K EUR, which represented a 82.7 per cent increase from the
previous year's volume of 544K EUR. Earnings per Share increased from 0.08
EUR to 0.14 EUR.
The volume of orders on hand from project and maintenance agreements
reached a record volume of 14,843K EUR as at 31st December 2012. Compared

December 2012 (31st December 2011: 218 employees).
Due to the Company's successful first quarter performance and in the light
of the sound volume of orders on hand, the IBS Board of Management
reaffirms its anticipations of a positive business development during the
current business year - provided that the global economy does not undergo
any long-term deterioration.
