EquityStory AG enjoys successful start to 2013
Investments in the set up of the Hong Kong base
Munich - 31.05.2013
EquityStory AG (ISIN: DE0005494165) saw a successful start into the new
fiscal year. The group revenue was EUR 3.276 million representing a 5 per
cent increase to the first quarter of the previous year. The EBIT,
according to IFRS, was down by 23 per cent to EUR .428 million. According
to DVFA / SG, the group's net profit was EUR .291 million, equaling EUR
0.24 earnings per share.
The decrease in EBIT and net income can largely be traced back to the
expenditure for the set up of EQS Asia Limited based in Hong Kong.
Furthermore, the Regulatory Information&News segment recorded a decrease
in the reporting volume. However, due to the successful takeover of the
customer base of German issuers belonging to our previous competitor euro
adhoc, the reporting volume will increase significantly in the second
quarter and throughout the remainder of the year.
Achim Weick, EquityStory AG's CEO, stated: 'We began the new financial year
well with a revenue plus of five per cent. The EBIT decrease is not
sustainable and is characterised by start-up investments in our new
location in Asia. Furthermore, since April about 200 new customers have
been using our COCKPIT for news distribution. We are therefore very
confident with the outlook as it stands at the start of the year.'
Unchanged Positive Outlook
For the fiscal year 2013 the management expects a revenue increase between
5 to 15 per cent from EUR 14.9 million to EUR 16.3 million, and an EBIT
increase between 5 to 15 per cent from EUR 3.52 to EUR 3.85 million for the
EquityStory group.
EquityStory's management will comment on the company results in today's
conference call from 11.00 am (CET) to be transmitted live via internet at
www.eqs.com.
