EQS Group AG Achieves Strong Third Quarter Results
Revenue increases by 22%
Munich - November 29, 2013
EQS Group AG (ISIN: DE0005494165) remained on its growth course in Q3 of
2013. For the period July - September 2013, Group revenue was EUR 3.853
million, representing a 22% increase to the third quarter of the previous
year. EBIT, according to IFRS, grew by 25% to EUR .732 million. EQS Group's
net profit was EUR .432 million, equaling EUR .36 earnings per
share.
The first nine months of 2013 resulted in revenues of EUR 11.489 million,
EBIT aggregates amounting to EUR 1.947 million and a Group surplus of
EUR 1.222 million. Earnings per share, according to DVFA / SG, are EUR
1.03.
'We're very pleased with the course of business in the first nine months.
The Group's results are all the more impressive, considering the ongoing
slump in Germany's IPO market as well our investment in the growth market
of Asia,' said Achim Weick, CEO of EQS Group AG.
EQS Group's activities in Switzerland and Russia have also developed
positively in Q3 of 2013. The build up of the Hong Kong-based EQS Asia Ltd.
continues according to plan. The liquidation of the Hungarian affiliate
DGAP-Geoinfo Zrt. has been completed.
Continued Positive Outlook
For the 2013 fiscal year, management expects revenue increases of between
5-15%, from EUR 14.9 million to EUR 16.3 million, and an EBIT increase of
between 5-15%, from EUR 3.52 to EUR 3.85 million for the EQS Group.
EQS Group's management will comment on the company results in today's
conference call at 11:00 a.m. (CET) which will be transmitted live at
