This corresponds to a growth in revenues of 29.8%. EBITDA increased by 21.1% to EUR7.8 million (previous year: EUR6.4 million). Consolidated earnings amounted to EUR3.7 million compared to EUR3.1 million in the previous three months period. Earnings per share were EUR0.56 after EUR0.47 in the year before and increased by 19.1%. Equity increased to EUR91.9 million compared to EUR87.6 million at the end of 2015, corresponding to an equity ratio of 39.3%. Liquidity of EUR59.3 million (EUR54 million at the end of 2015) and net cash of EUR13.9 million (EUR8.1 million at the end of 2015) increased, leading to a comfortable financial position that allows MBB to invest in the growth of its subsidiaries and acquire new companies through internal financing. The very good results reflect organic growth across all subsidiaries of the MBB group and exceed the management forecast for the first quarter. Moreover, the results underpin the increasingly conservative looking forecast of EUR300 million revenues and EUR2 eps for the fiscal year 2016. The quarterly financial report for the first three months of 2016 will be published on 31 May 2016 at www.mbb.com. The Board of MBB will propose another increased dividend payment in the amount of EUR0.59 per share entitled for the fiscal year 2015 at the Annual General Meeting on 30 June 2016 in Berlin.
