MBB SE increases revenues in the first quarter 2015 by more than 8% with
good earnings
- EUR60.2 million in revenues, EUR0.47 earnings per share
- AGM on 30 June 2015, EUR0.57 proposed dividend
- Purchase of 13,225 own shares in share buyback programme
Berlin, 13 May 2015 - MBB SE (ISIN DE000A0ETBQ4), a family-owned,
medium-sized group of companies, generated revenues of EUR60.2 million
after EUR55.6 million in the first quarter of the previous year according
to preliminary figures. This equals to a growth rate of 8.3%.
Disproportionately to revenues, EBITDA grew by 16.6% to EUR6.4 million
compared to EUR5.5 million previously. Consolidated earnings amounted to
EUR3.1 million, slightly below EUR3.2 million from the first quarter of
last year due to higher tax expenses in the current year. Earnings per
share in the reporting period were EUR0.47 after EUR0.50 in the year
before. Equity increased to EUR82.5 million compared to EUR78.6 million at
the end of 2014. The equity ratio at the end of the first quarter 2015
improved to more than 40%. Liquidity decreased to EUR52.7 million compared
to EUR58.7 million at the end of 2014. Over the same period, net cash
decreased from EUR24.3 million to EUR15.7 million. The reason for this lies
in investments in business properties and seasonally higher working capital
requirements. Thus, MBB has an unchanged comfortable liquidity position
allowing for further growth in existing group companies and growth by
acquisitions. For the financial year 2015, management still forecasts
revenues of between EUR240 million and EUR250 million and earnings per
share of at least EUR1.75.
Board and Executive Management will propose an increased dividend for the
financial year 2014 of EUR0.57 to the Annual General Meeting taking place
on 30 June 2015 in Berlin.
MBB purchased 13,225 own shares in the context of a share buyback programme
from 18 March 2015 until 7 May 2015 at an average purchase price of
EUR23.55 excluding additional charges. Most recent information about the
programme can be found on the Internet at

The quarterly financial report for the first three months of 2015 will be
available for download on 29 May 2015 at www.mbb.com.
