asknet AG provided earnings guidance for the year 2017. The executive board of the company had originally assumed that the Group's operating result (EBT) in 2017 would improve significantly compared to the previous year, even though still being negative. On the basis of preliminary figures, now a slightly positive operating result (EBT) is expected. Gross profit will still be weaker than in the previous year due to the significant decline in demand for a major customer's software release.
