secunet 3-Month Report 2013: Revenue increasing, Outlook for 2013 unchanged
- Revenue up 13% to Euro 14.1m
- At Euro -0.2m, EBIT below previous year's figure
- Volume of orders consistently high
[Essen/Germany, 8 May 2013] secunet Security Networks AG (ISIN
DE0007276503, WKN 727650), a leading German supplier of high-quality IT
security and an IT security partner of the Federal Republic of Germany,
published its 3-Month Report for 2013 today. Compared with the strong first
quarter in 2012, revenue was able to increase; the Company recorded EBIT
lower than the previous year's level. The order book consistently remains
at a high level: The forecast for the current year therefore remains
unchanged.
In the first quarter of 2013, the secunet Group generated revenue totalling
Euro 14.1m. Compared with the previous year (Euro 12.5m), this represents
an increase of 13%. The Public Sector business unit and the Business Sector
business unit have both contributed to this increase in revenue.
The Business Sector business unit provides IT security consulting and
solutions for companies in the private sector. The Business Sector clearly
increased revenue by 23% from Euro 3.0m in the first quarter of 2012 to
Euro 3.6m in the first quarter of 2013. The strong increase continues to be
borne by major projects in the area of mobile security, in which secunet
works together with Giesecke&Devrient. The contribution of the Business
Sector business unit to the Group revenue rose from 24% in the first
quarter of 2012 to 26% in the current reporting period.
The Public Sector business unit increased revenue by 10% from Euro 9.6m in
the first quarter of 2012 to Euro 10.5m in the current reporting period.
The product portfolio in the Public Sector includes the High Security
solutions based on the SINA product range, as well as IT security solutions
and consulting for e-government, authorities and international
organisations. The Public Sector contributed 74% of the Group revenue in
the first quarter of 2013.
The earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of the secunet Group for the
period from January to March 2013 totalled Euro -0.2m. Compared with the
previous year's value of Euro 0.2m, this represents a decrease of around
Euro 0.4m. The difference from the previous year was created by
extraordinary additional expenditure on projects.
Earnings for the period after tax totalled Euro -0.1m in the first quarter
of 2013, compared with Euro 0.1m in the first quarter of 2012. Earnings per
share for the first three months of the year fell by Euro 0.02 to Euro
-0.02.
The secunet Security Networks AG order book measured according to IFRS
totalled Euro 35.6m as at 31 March 2013, which at -1% was only just below
the value for the same reporting date of the previous year. This provides
the basis for a reliable outlook for the 2013 financial year.
'secunet is an established partner for IT security in the market. This is
confirmed by the sustained positive revenue development,' explains Dr
Rainer Baumgart, CEO of secunet Security Networks AG. 'With the goal of
continued profitable growth, we have optimised our structure. This hasmade
us even more efficient in terms of product management and sales. This means
even more attractive offers for our customers.'
The Company's Management Board is standing by its unchanged forecast for
2013: A moderate revenue increase with earnings before interest and tax
(EBIT) remaining at the same level as the previous year is anticipated for
the current financial year.
Next date in the financial calendar: Ordinary Annual General Meeting on 15
May 2013. Further information can be found at www.secunet.com.
