The preliminary figures for 2015 point to another record year of business. secunet continued on its path of sustainable growth during 2015: preliminary calculations reveal that the business figures from 2014 - the strongest in the company's history - have been significantly exceeded. The calculations show that secunet has achieved revenues of 91.5 million euros, representing a growth of 11% against the previous year (82.2 million euros). Earnings before interest and taxes were calculated at 8.5 million euros, an improvement of 29% against the year 2014 (6.6 million euros). As has so often been the case in the company's history, the fourth quarter made a key contribution to the excellent result. A greater number of orders than expected - owing to booms in specific areas and an increase in procurements up to the year end - have led to revenues of 32 million euros (34 million euros in the same quarter of the previous year) and an EBIT of 6.3 million euros (6.2 million euros in the previous year) during the fourth quarter of 2015. "With the excellent business results for 2015, secunet is continuing on the path of positive development in revenue and EBIT that it has been following over the past few years," says Dr. Rainer Baumgart, CEO of secunet Security Networks AG. "secunet's high-quality and reliable Cyber Security solutions are particularly important and in demand during these times of uncertainty. This will make a sustained contribution to our success."
