secunet Security Networks AG: Significantly higher sales and performance in
the first nine months of 2016 compared to the previous year
[Essen, November 3, 2016] secunet Security Networks AG (ISIN DE0007276503,
WKN 727650), leading German supplier of premium, trusted IT security, and
IT security partner to the Federal Republic of Germany, has today published
the quarterly Group statement for the period ending 30 September 2016. The
company's net operating profits have improved in all areas year on year.
The forecast for the full year has been confirmed.
In the period from January to September 2016, secunet Group achieved
turnover of 69.2 million euros. Compared with sales in the same period the
previous year (59.4 million euros), this represents an increase of 17% or
9.8 million euros. The increase in sales resulted from rising demand both
for services (consultancy) and products (trading goods, licenses,
maintenance and support - predominantly in the SINA product family).
In the first nine months of 2016, secunet Group achieved earnings before
tax and interest (EBIT) of 4.8 million euros. Compared with the EBIT in the
same period the previous year (2.2 million euros), this represents an
improvement of 114% or 2.6 million euros. The positive earnings performance
resulted both from an increase in the sales of products and from good
capacity utilisation in consultancy.
"Our strategy is to offer trusted and premium cybersecurity Made in Germany
on a sustainable basis. Our solutions and our consultancy follow this
philosophy. Consistently high demand shows that this thinking is in line
with our customers' needs," commented Dr. Rainer Baumgart, CEO of secunet
Security Networks AG. "The positive company results reflect the success of
this approach."
Orders booked at secunet Security Network AG as of September 30, 2016,
amounted to 61.0 million euros according to IFRS. This represents an
increase of 61% compared to the orders booked as at the end of the same
period the previous year (38.0 million euros).
Based on the numbers detailed above, the Board has confirmed the improved
forecast for the 2016 financial year that was published in July 2016:
turnover of around 94 million euros and an EBIT of around 9 million euros
are expected.
The quarterly Group statement for the period ending 30 September 2016 is
