DGAP-News: msg life ag / Key word(s): Preliminary Results msg life ag: msg life publishes provisional figures for 2014 02.04.2015 / 10:45 --------------------------------------------------------------------- msg life publishes provisional figures for 2014 Turnover and results fully in line with expectations - planned figures for 2015 forecast turnover of 105.0 million euros and EBITDA of 8.0 million euros (Leinfelden-Echterdingen, 2 April 2015) - msg life ag (ISIN DE0005130108) published its provisional figures for the 2014 financial year today. The report reveals that the company generated aggregate turnover of 104.3 million euros (2013: 131.3 million euros) and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) of 11.4 million euros (2013: -1.6 million euros). This EBITDA figure contains a seven-figure non-recurring effect from the sale of the banking segment. This means that both turnover and EBITDA are entirely in line with the previous forecast - although neither figure can be compared with the corresponding period last year. This is because the reporting period last year still included the now-discontinued Banking segment and the consolidation of the participating interest in plenum AG, which in the meantime has also been disposed of. All of the figures are provisional and have not undergone a final check by the auditor. The detailed final audited results of the 2014 financial year will be published as part of the consolidated financial statements on 28 April 2015. Thanks to the company's corporate name change in October 2014, the sale of the banking subsidiary and the disposal of the former participating interests in plenum AG and B+S Banksysteme Aktiengesellschaft, msg life ag has completed the most important previously outstanding measures for the msg life Group's strategic realignment in the course of the 2014 financial year. Furthermore, the provisional figures for 2014 underline that the company has successfully completed its economic turnaround. This is also reflected in the planned figures for the 2015 financial year, which msg life ag also released today: the company expects its aggregate turnover to increase - compared to 2014 - to 105.0 million euros and a purely operative EBITDA of approximately 8.0 million euros.
