MBB SE increases revenue in Q1 by 20.1% to €117.8 million and EBITDA by 19.5% to €12.9 million

Berlin, 14 May 2018 - MBB SE (ISIN DE000A0ETBQ4), a medium-sized family business, has generated revenue of €117.8 million in the first quarter of 2018 after €98.1 million in the first quarter of the previous year. This corresponds to a revenue growth of 20.1%. EBITDA increased by 19.5% from €10.8 million to €12.9 million, resulting in an EBITDA margin of 10.8%. Net income after minorities adjusted for the PPA-amortisation of the capitalised order backlog from the USK acquisition amounts to €3.5 million (previous year: €5.1 million) or €0.53 per share in the first three months of the year 2018. The considerable decrease in net income compared to the previous year despite the significant increase in EBITDA results from the reduction of MBB's shareholding in Aumann AG. While MBB SE held 93.5% of Aumann shares until the IPO in the first quarter of 2017, MBB SE's shareholding now stands at 38.0% after the placement of Aumann shares in the first quarter 2018.

In return, this placement of the Aumann shares led to a significant increase in equity and liquidity of MBB Group. Accordingly, the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 March 2018 reported equity of €490.1 million (31 December 2017: €385.1 million, 31 December 2016: €98.4 million). Based on total consolidated assets of €739.8 million, the equity ratio was 66.2% after 63.0% as at 31 December 2017. In addition, group liquidity increased to €365.7 million as at 31 March 2018 (31 December 2017: €279.2 million) and net cash increased to €308.2 million (31 December 2017: €222.0 million, 31 December 2016: €22.2 million).

From the view of management, the good development of all subsidiaries of MBB Group underpins the forecast of more than half a billion euro in revenue and earnings per share of €2.30 to €2.45 in 2018. The extraordinarily good equity position allows MBB to further grow through the acquisition of new companies.
