The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.
According to an analysis of preliminary results, the earnings before interest (EBIT) of DATA MODUL AG in the first quarter of 2018 are substantially below the first quarter results of last year. Nevertheless, the company upholds its overall forecast for the fiscal year 2018, with bookings in the first quarter of 2018 being above the numbers of the first quarter of 2017. The main reasons for the decrease in earnings were negative foreign exchange effects as well as an increase in costs for staff.
The group EBIT in the first quarter of the financial year 2018 amounted to EUR 4.0 million, marking a reduction of approx. 27% in comparison to the same period of the previous year (EUR 5.5 million). Consolidated sales with EUR 57.5 million nearly reached the same level as the in the first quarter of last year (EUR 58.0 million). Bookings increased by approx. 7,5 % to EUR 69.2 million in comparison to EUR 64.3 million in the first quarter of the financial year 2017.
DATA MODUL will publish definitive results for the first quarter of the financial year 2018 on 8 May 2018.
