Dear Shareholders, Customers, Business Associates and Employees,
MeVis started the first quarter of 2015 on a mixed note: whereas sales were up a sharp 21 % year on year on the back of a strong US dollar, EBIT declined by around 22 % due to the scheduled discontinuation of the capitalization of development expenses and higher costs. After-tax earnings and earnings per share likewise declined accordingly.
Our performance in detail: Sales in the first quarter of 2015 amounted to € 3,408 k, up 21 % compared to the first quarter of 2014 (€ 2,828 k). Sales growth of € 580 k is almost exclusively attributable to the change in the US dollar exchange rate. Software development services totaling € 183 k (prev. year: € 0 k) from the agreement with Hologic concluded in September 2014, also contributed significantly to sales in the first quarter of 2015.
Sales in the new license business improved by 17 % to € 1,561 k, while sales in the maintenance business increased by 9 % to € 1,493 k, accounting for 44 % of total sales. Service sales improved from a low basis of € 111 k to € 355 k. Sales in the Digital Mammography segment were up by 22 % to € 2,721 k (prev. year: € 2,227 k) while sales in the Other Diagnostics segment grew by 14 % to € 687 k (prev. year: € 601 k).
Operating costs rose in the first quarter of 2015. Staff costs increased as planned by 1 % (from € 1,812 k in the prev. year to € 1,837 k) and other operating expenses rose by 34 % year on year to € 549 k (prev. year: € 411 k).
Development costs (prev. year: € 428 k) were capitalized for the last time in the fourth quarter of 2014.
Despite higher costs and the discontinuation of the capitalization of development expenses, EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) increased slightly by 1 % year on year, from € 1,100 k to € 1,107 k due to the improvement in sales.
Depreciation and amortization came to € 565 k (up 39 % year on year), resulting in EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes) of € 542 k (down sharply by 22 % compared to € 694 k in the previous year) and an EBIT margin of 16 % (prev. year: 25 %).
The financial result improved by € 59 k year on year to € 138 k. This was attributable to the development of the US dollar, the improvement in earnings at MeVis BreastCare and higher net interest income. Tax expenses fell by € 46 k to € 42 k.
After-tax earnings were down by € 47 k to € 638 k, which is equivalent to earnings per share of € 0.37 (prev. year: € 0.40).
Cash and cash equivalents rose by € 1,453 k to € 18,964 k as of March 31, 2015 compared to the end of the year.
In view of the development of business so far, we reiterate our forecast for the year adjusted on April 22. We forecast stable sales of between € 13.0 million and € 13.5 million. The Digital Mammography segment will remain the main sales contributor with at least around 75 %. This segment will again exclusively comprise the business with our industrial customer, Hologic, in 2015. Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) is expected to decline significantly year on year from € 3.9 million to between € 2.0 million and € 2.5 million, largely due to an increase in operating costs, the absence of capitalized development expenses and a minor increase in depreciation and amortization. Liquidity is expected to rise to between € 22.0 million and € 23.0 million in 2015 as a result of sustained positive cash flows from operating activities and the payment for the sale of treasury shares of € 1.7 million received in April 2015. As in the reporting period, we will regularly review and adjust our guidance during the course of the fiscal year according to business developments.
Following the voluntary takeover offer on January 27, 2015, Varian Medical Systems acquired 73.52 %, almost three quarters of MeVis shares on April 21, 2015. Against the backdrop of the anticipated decline in business with our largest customer Hologic in the medium to long term, we welcome the fact that MeVis is now part of a large group with a broad industrial customer base, as this provides good opportunities for expanding business. The next step planned as part of this acquisition is a domination agreement including the determination of the compensation and settlement regulations for minority shareholders in compliance with the legal requirements and based on the company's enterprise value. The planned domination agreement needs to be approved by a general meeting of MeVis Medical Solutions AG scheduled for the second half of 2015. We support a domination agreement as this will allow for the ongoing integration between MeVis and Varian Medical Systems, while ensuring the rights of the minority shareholders by means of the compensation and settlement regulations to be defined.
We would like to take this opportunity to once again thank all employees for their exceptional performance as well as our business associates, customers and shareholders for their confidence in us!

The shareholder structure hardly changed in the first quarter of 2015. The three founders accounted for approximately 44 % of the share capital at the end of the first quarter and the Company has own shares equivalent to 5.36 %. The remaining shares were predominantly held by institutional investors and private shareholders at this time.
The shareholder structure changed significantly after the end of the quarter. On January 27, 2015, VMS Deutschland Holdings GmbH announced its decision to make a voluntary takeover offer to the shareholders of MeVis Medical Solutions AG to acquire their registered shares for cash consideration of € 17.50 per share. The offer for 1,337,995 shares (which corresponds to 73.52 % of the share capital) was accepted and was concluded on April 21, 2015. On this date VMS Deutschland Holdings GmbH acquired the majority of shares in MeVis Medical Solutions AG.
Fig.: Shareholder structure as at April 30, 2015
Through a joint venture with Siemens Aktiengesellschaft, Berlin and Munich (hereafter: "Siemens"), MeVis Medical Solutions AG (hereafter: "MMS AG", "MeVis" or "Company") holds 51 % of MeVis BreastCare GmbH & Co. KG (hereafter: "MBC" or "MBC KG").
MMS AG develops innovative software for analyzing and evaluating image data and marketing it to equipment manufacturers of medical devices and providers of medical IT platforms.
MeVis' clinical focuses are image-based early detection and diagnosis of epidemiologically important diseases such as breast, lung, prostate and colon cancer as well as neurological disorders. The software applications support all the imaging modalities available. These not only include X-ray modalities such as computed tomography, digital mammography or digital tomosynthesis, but also magnetic resonance imaging, digital sonography and the simultaneous use of multiple modalities (multimodality). Then there are the more modern imaging modalities, such as positron emission tomography (PET), sonoelastography and molecular imaging. MeVis supplies technologies and applications for global medical industry leaders, meeting their needs and helping them to strengthen their leadership positions.
MeVis also offers image-based support for planning and conducting surgical interventions in the form of MeVis Distant Services, which provides customized services to automate the processing, quantitative analysis and patient-specific visualization of radiological image data. It also offers an internationally unparalleled process for planning complex operations on the liver and other organs is offered. Sales and marketing activities are directly addressed towards clinical end users (B2C).
In addition, MeVis is expanding its offer for clinical end users by two online services: MeVis Online CAD offers fully automated detection as well as assessment and quantification of anomalies of the lung. MeVis Online Academy offers interactive online training to improve the diagnostic capabilities of clinical end users. The product range of online services will be expanded gradually.
For reporting purposes and internal governance, MeVis has two operating segments ("Digital Mammography" and "Other Diagnostics").
The Digital Mammography segment develops and markets software products which support breast diagnostic imaging and intervention. Aside from the original products for digital mammography, new software applications for other imaging modalities such as ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging and tomosynthesis were added. These products are distributed to the industrial customer Hologic.
In addition to the breast diagnostics business based on magnetic resonance imaging conducted with Invivo Corporation, the Other Diagnostics segment also includes digital radiology products (e.g. magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), etc.) for other types of diseases such as lung, prostate and intestinal disorders as well as general image-based analysis and diagnostics of radiology images. Furthermore, the business with Vital Images for lung diagnostics and general analysis of MR-image data is included in this segment. Other main activities in this segment include image and risk analysis for planning liver surgery and tumor diagnostics in connection with clinical studies of pharmaceutical companies (Distant Services business segment).
The MMS AG differentiates the geographical areas USA and Europe due to the local distribution of realized sales.
Sales of € 3,408 k in the first quarter of 2015 were up approximately 21 % on the previous year's level (€ 2,828 k). Sales growth of € 580 k is almost exclusively attributable to the change in the US dollar at € 526 k. The maintenance business increased by 9 % year on year to € 1,493 k (prev. year: € 1,372 k) and the new license business improved by 17 % to € 1,561 k (prev. year: € 1,337 k).
Revenues are broken down into the segments Digital Mammography at € 2,721 k (prev. year: € 2,227 k) and Other Diagnostics at € 687 k (prev. year: € 601 k). At 80 % (prev. year: 79 %), the Digital Mammography segment continues to be the main source of revenues in the Company.
The installed base of software licenses once again led to consistently high maintenance and service revenues. In the first quarter of 2015, the share of maintenance and service sales in total sales amounted to 44 % (prev. year: 49 %).
The 1 % rise in staff costs to € 1,837 k (prev. year: € 1,812 k) is largely due to minor salary increases. MMS AG had 108 employees on average in the first quarter of 2015. This corresponds to 94 full-time equivalents (prev. year: 109 employees or 95 full-time equivalents).
Development expenses were capitalized for the last time in the fourth quarter of 2014. This led to a reduction in capitalized development expenses in the period under review to € 0 k (prev. year: € 428 k). Other operating expenses increased year on year, and totaled € 549 k (prev. year: € 411 k). This amount mainly comprised rental/leasing expenses of € 129 k (prev. year: € 126 k), maintenance/repair costs of € 28 k (prev. year: € 48 k), travel expenses of € 51 k (prev. year: € 32 k), legal and consulting costs of € 121 k (prev. year: € 7 k) and accounting and auditing expenses of € 25 k (prev. year: € 23 k).
EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) totaled € 1,107 k in the period under review (prev. year: € 1,100 k) and the EBITDA margin decreased accordingly to 32 % (prev. year: 39 %).
Depreciation, amortization and impairments of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment increased sharply by 39 % to € 565 k (prev. year: € 406 k), while amortization of development services rose by € 96 k to € 357 k (prev. year: € 261 k) and amortization of intangible assets increased by € 74 k to € 171 k (prev. year: € 97 k).
Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) were € 542 k in the reporting period (prev. year: € 694 k). Accordingly, the EBIT margin (return on sales) declined to 16 % compared to 25 % in the previous year.
The financial result increased in the reporting period to € 138 k (prev. year: € 79 k). The main reason for this rise is the improved earnings of the 51 % share in MeVis BreastCare GmbH & Co. KG of € 94 k (prev. year: € 60 k), which is recognized at equity.
Earnings before taxes (EBT) were € 680 k in the reporting period (prev. year: 773 k). The EBT margin decreased to 20 % compared to 27 % in the previous year.
After-tax earnings are impacted by income taxes and the deferred tax expenses of € 42 k reported here (prev. year: € 88 k), amounting to € 638 k in the period under review (prev. year: € 685 k).
Earnings per share fell to € 0.37 (prev. year: € 0.40).
Cash flow from current operating activities came to € 987 k (prev. year: € 306 k) in the period under review. This comprised earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of € 542 k (prev. year: € 694 k), adjusted for depreciation in the amount of € 565 k (prev. year: € 406 k), changes in provisions of € 199 k (prev. year: € 2 k), the total of all non-cash expenses and income of € 57 k (prev. year: € 15 k), the total of interest paid and received of € 45 k (prev. year: € 53 k), the total of taxes paid and received in the amount of € -5 k (prev. year: € -12 k), changes in inventories and trade receivables and other assets of € -1,067 k (prev. year: € -502 k), and changes in trade payables and other liabilities of € 651 k (prev. year: € -350 k).
In the period under review, cash flow from investing activities came to € -62 k (prev. year: € -4,465 k) and mainly consisted of payments for the acquisition of securities of € 2,531 k (prev. year: € 7,428 k) as well as payments received for the disposal of securities in the amount of € 2,495 k (prev. year: € 3,450 k).
The change in cash and cash equivalents in the period under review came to € 1,300 k (prev. year: € -4,172 k).
Liquid funds amounted to € 18,964 k (December 31, 2014: € 17,511 k) as of the balance sheet date. This comprised cash and cash equivalents of € 10,567 k (December 31, 2014: € 9,267 k) and securities available for sale of € 8,397 k (December 31, 2014: € 8,244 k).
Total assets increased by € 1,416 k to € 39,670 k (December 31, 2014: € 38,254 k) as of the end of the first quarter and the balance sheet structure remained largely unchanged compared to the end of fiscal year 2014. The equity ratio dropped slightly to 78 % (December 31, 2014: 79 %). Equity covered 181 % of fixed assets (December 31, 2014: € 173 %) and amounted to 76 % of current assets (December 31, 2014: 104 %). Fixed assets fell slightly to 43 % compared to total assets (December 31, 2014: 46 %).
The increase in assets is largely attributable to the rise in liquidity. Furthermore, trade receivables rose by € 298 k to € 3,031 k (December 31, 2014: € 2,733 k).
Equity was up 2 % to € 30,946 (December 31, 2014: € 30,270 k) on the back of net profit for the year. Other significant changes in liabilities related to trade payables, which declined by € 458 k to € 121 k (December 31, 2014: € 579 k), and other current financial liabilities, which rose by € 437 k to € 1,542 k (December 31, 2014: € 1,105 k) largely due to the increase in staff liabilities.
Varian Medical Systems acquired 73.52 %, almost three quarters of MeVis shares on April 21, 2015. On April 29, the Company announced that the management of VMS Deutschland Holdings GmbH, Darmstadt, and the Executive Board of MeVis Medical Solutions AG had agreed to prepare and conclude a domination agreement between VMS Deutschland Holdings GmbH as the controlling company and MeVis Medical Solutions AG as the controlled company.
No material changes have occurred with regard to the risk situation of the Company since the beginning of the fiscal year. Therefore, the statements made in the opportunities and risk report of the consolidated annual financial statements as of December 31, 2014 remain valid.
In view of the development of business so far, we reiterate our forecast for the year adjusted on April 22. We forecast stable sales of between € 13.0 million and € 13.5 million. The Digital Mammography segment will remain the main sales contributor with at least 75 %. This segment will again exclusively comprise the business with our industrial customer, Hologic, in 2015. Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) is expected to decline significantly year on year from € 3.9 million to between € 2.0 million and € 2.5 million, largely due to an increase in operating costs, the discontinuation of capitalized development expenses and a minor increase in depreciation and amortization. Liquidity is expected to rise to between € 22.0 million and € 23.0 million in 2015 as a result of sustained positive cash flows from operating activities and the payment for the sale of treasury shares of € 1.7 million received in April 2015. As in the previous reporting period, we will review our expectations during the fiscal year on a regular basis based on the current business developments.

Earnings per share equal the profit on continuing activities or profit (after tax) divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the financial year. Earnings per share (fully diluted) are calculated on the assumption that all securities, stock options and stock awards with a potentially dilutionary effect are converted or exercised.
As the criteria for exercising the options have been satisfied as of the balance sheet date, it can be assumed that the options will be exercised by the employees. Accordingly, they are included in the calculation of earnings per share.
The weighted average of shares outstanding is determined by taking account of shares redeemed and reissued subject to a chronological weighting.
