InVision AG Releases 2013 Annual Report And Expects 2014 EBIT To Grow 125+
Percent To More Than EUR 4 Million
Ratingen (Germany), 31st March 2014 - Today, InVision AG (ISIN:
DE0005859698) has released its 2013 Annual Report and confirmed the
preliminary results for the preceding financial year, which were previously
published on 18th February 2014. In 2013, the Company achieved an EBIT
(Earnings Before Interest and Taxes) of EUR 1.754 million, thereby
improving its operating result year-on-year by 115 percent (2012: EUR 0.816
million). The EBIT margin increased to 13 percent (2012: 6 percent). The
consolidated group result improved by 157 percent to EUR 1.728 million
(2012: EUR 0.673 million), whereas earnings per share increased by 145
percent up to EUR 0.71 (2012: EUR 0.29).
Total revenues increased by 2 percent to EUR 13.557 million (2012: EUR
13.228 million). Revenues from Software and Subscriptions also increased
slightly, by 2 percent to EUR 10.754 million (2012: EUR 10.554 million),
while cloud services revenues recorded an upper two-digit growth rate. On
the other hand, revenues from the the traditional licence business
continued to decline. In addition, EUR 2.803 million revenues were
generated with Services (2012: EUR 2.674 million).
The operating cash flow increased by 134 percent to EUR 3.023 million
(2012: EUR 1.294 million). As of 31st December 2013, liquid funds increased
by 84 percent to EUR 4.576 million (31st December 2012: EUR 2.490 million).
At the same time, EUR 0.875 million were spent on the buyback of treasury
shares.
With regard to the current business, InVision AG had an excellent start to
the financial year of 2014 and expect to achieve a record result in the
first quarter. Supported by an anticipated three-digit growth rate, even
stronger growth dynamics for cloud learning offerings and cloud-based
workforce management solutions can be expected in 2014. At the same time,
the annual cost base for 2014 was once more reduced to less than EUR 9.5
million.
For the financial year of 2014, the Company expects an EBIT growth by at
least 125 percent to more than EUR 4 million and an EBIT margin of
approximately 30 percent, which is supposed to further increase to 40 to 50
percent in the medium-term. Due to the very positive operative prospects
and the established sustainable growth trend, the Executive Board of
InVision AG has decided to cease M&A activities, in order to support the
exclusive focus on the optimisation of the operative business.
With the 2013 results, the Company was able to compensate the accumulated
losses of the previous years, thereby basically creating the ability to
distribute dividends. First-time with the current financial year, the
Company now aims to distribute at least 50 percent of the net profit of a
financial year. In this context, the Executive Board of InVision AG has
decided to terminate the current share buyback programme prematurely with
immediate effect.
