- Turnover increases by 26.5 percent after nine months, according to
provisional figures
- EBITDA reaches EUR 4.04 million
GK Software AG continued to grow its turnover significantly by 26.5 percent
to a figure of EUR 53.10 million during the first nine months of 2016,
according to provisional figures (first 9M of 2015: EUR 41.98 million). The
EBITDA rose greatly to EUR 4.04 million, following a figure of EUR (0.76)
million in the previous year. The EBIT reached a figure of EUR 1.04 million
(first 9M of 2015: EUR (3.36) million). The reasons for the excellent nine
months results were strong turnover in licenses and a major increase in
efficiency in the consulting and implementation department.
Based on these results and the sales opportunities in the first nine months
of the year, the Management Board continues to assume that the company will
be able to significantly increase its turnover in comparison with the
previous year, as expected; and it is maintaining its forecast for the year
2016 and the medium-term without making any changes or amendments.
The full nine months report is expected to be published on November 29.
