secunet 9-Month Report 2015: sustained positive business performance
- After nine months, revenues up 23% on previous year
- EBIT from January to September 2015 increases by 1.9 million euros
compared to the previous year
- Outlook for the entire year is confirmed
[Essen, 4 November 2015] secunet Security Networks AG (ISIN DE0007276503,
WKN 727650), a leading German supplier of high-quality, reliable IT
security and an IT security partner of the Federal Republic of Germany,
publishes its 9-Month Report for 2015 today.
In comparison with the first nine months of the previous year, the secunet
Group increased revenues by 23% to 59.4 million euros (previous year: 48.2
million euros). The growth in revenues is essentially accounted for by the
increase in sales for products and services relating to cyber security, as
well as for SINA cryptographic products, which the Public Sector business
unit supplies to public clients. The Public Sector business unit continues
to account for the majority of the secunet Group revenues at 86% (previous
year: 80%). Compared to the previous year, revenues in the Public Sector
business unit rose by 32% from 38.8 million euros to 51.1 million euros. In
the Business Sector business unit, which provides services and solutions
for the specific requirements of companies in the private sector,
expectations as regards consulting for providers of critical
infrastructures have not yet been met: in the first nine months of 2015,
the revenues were 8.3 million euros compared with 9.5 million euros in the
same period of the previous year.
The costs in the secunet Group rose less sharply than revenues:
accordingly, the earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of the secunet
Group improved compared to the previous year from 0.3 million euros to 2.2
million euros. The secunet Group generated group earnings for the first
nine months of 2015 of 1.8 million euros compared to 0.2 million euros in
the previous year. Diluted and undiluted earnings per share for the period
January to September 2015 stood at 0.28 euros, compared to 0.03 euros in
the previous year.
"Specialisation in high-quality and reliable cyber security 'made in
Germany' ensured consistently positive business performance in the first
nine months of 2015," says Dr Rainer Baumgart, Chairman of the Management
Board of secunet Security Networks AG. "We shall continue to systematically
focus on this strength which supports us in our long-term growth."
The order book of the secunet Group according to IFRS as at the end of
September 2015 was 38.0 million euros, following 46.6 million euros on the
reporting date of the previous year. The fourth quarter of 2014 was
strongly influenced by recovery effects with purchases by major customers;
the business results were therefore outstanding. These effects are not
expected in 2015 - the change in the order book already indicates this. In
light of this, the Management Board is confirming its forecast for the 2015
financial year: it expects revenues and EBIT to remain at around the same
level as in the previous year. Contrary to the outlook published with the
Annual Report 2014 (as at March 2015), it is not expected that the Business
Sector will have an increasing share in Group revenues in 2015.

Publications. Next date in the financial calendar: 22 January 2016
preliminary figures for the 2015 financial year.
