Dear shareholders, customers, business associates and employees,
MeVis started 2014 with a profitable first quarter once again. EBIT declined by some € 0.2 million year on year due to the slight decrease in sales and higher staff costs. The EBIT margin remained strong in the first quarter at 25 %.
As a result of the amendments to IFRS 11, the joint venture with Siemens, MeVis BreastCare GmbH & Co. KG, which until now was proportionately consolidated, will be consolidated according to the equity method as of fiscal year 2014. The previous year's figures have been adjusted accordingly in order to allow for better comparison.
Our performance in detail: Sales in the first quarter of 2014 came to € 2,828 k, down by 4 % to just below the level of the first quarter of 2013 (€ 2,948 k). Sales in the new license business declined slightly by 2 % to € 1,337 k, while sales in the maintenance business were down by 9 % to € 1,372 k, accounting for 49 % of total sales. Sales in the Digital Mammography segment decreased by 3 % to € 2,227 k (prev. year: € 2,285 k) and sales in the Other Diagnostics segment fell by 9 % to € 601 k (prev. year: € 663 k).
Operating costs in the first quarter of 2014 rose primarily on the back of higher staff costs, which increased by 11 % to € 1,812 k (prev. year: € 1,636 k), particularly due to salary increases, conservative provisions and a change in the personnel structure. Other operating expenses declined slightly by 9 % to € 411 k (prev. year: € 449 k).
Capitalized development expenses were almost unchanged at € 428 k in the first quarter of 2014 (prev. year: € 410 k).
EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) was down by 16 %, from € 1,304 k to € 1,100 k year on year due to the slight reduction in sales and higher costs.
Depreciation and amortization came to € 406 k (up 11 % year on year), resulting in EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes) of € 694 k (down a sharp 26 % on the prior-year figure of € 938 k) and an EBIT margin of 25 % (prev. year: 32 %).
The net financial result improved by € 72 k to € 79 k year on year, while tax expenses fell by € 55 k to € 88 k.
After-tax earnings fell by € 117 k to € 695 k, which is equivalent to earnings per share of € 0.40.
Cash and cash equivalents fell by € 400 k to € 13,050 k as of March 31, 2014 compared to the end of 2013, with the positive operating cash flow being more than offset by a temporary increase in receivables as of March 31, 2014.
Despite the slightly lower first quarter compared to the previous year, we confirm our forecast for 2014. Given that the fiscal year 2013 was very successful, we anticipate a slight decline in sales to between € 12.0 million and € 12.5 million in 2014. The development of EBIT will in our view be significantly impacted by the forecast slight decline in sales and a marginal increase in costs. We expect EBIT to fall slightly to between € 3.0 million and € 3.5 million. Liquidity is anticipated to rise to between € 15.0 million and € 16.0 million in 2014 as a result of sustained positive cash flows from operating activities.
As described in the Annual Report 2013, MeVis will focus on realignment and paving the way for future growth in 2014. Two core components of this strategy are establishing new distribution channels for existing products and investment in the future growth market, lung screening. Besides developing new distribution channels (Online Academy, Online CAD, Distant Services), we will continue to globally market the licensing business through potential new industrial customers. The focus here is on North America, Europe and Asia.
Together with one of the world's leading institutes for CAD algorithms, the Radboud University Nijmegen Medical Centre, and leading clinical institutes in the USA, we are developing a dedicated software solution for the promising, future lung screening market. In the medium to long term we are also aiming to market this product through industrial customers as we have successfully done with our mammography products in recent years. In addition to ongoing development activities, initial and highly substantial negotiations have already taken place in the first quarter of 2014.
We remain confident that MeVis is in a position to meet these challenges: Our experienced, highly qualified employees are those on whom our long-term competitiveness depends; they ensure we continue to possess substantial potential for innovation, which we are called upon to harness going forward and transform into business success. In addition, we have a stable business with worldwide-renowned industrial customers and technology partners who are convinced of MeVis' performance.
Our annual general meeting will be held on June 5 at which we hope to welcome as many of you, dear shareholders, as possible.
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!
Marcus Kirchhoff Dr. Robert Hannemann Chairman & CEO Member of the Executive Board
In the first quarter of 2014, the share fell by around 25 % against the closing price at the end of 2013. On the other hand, the MeVis share has performed well over the last 12 months compared to the first quarter of 2013, gaining around 85 %. The highest price recorded for the MeVis share on the XETRA electronic trading system during the period was € 22.95; the lowest level it traded at was € 13.85. MeVis Medical Solutions AG closed the first quarter at a share price of € 15.54 (XETRA) compared to € 20.49 at the end of 2013. At the end of the period, the Company's market capitalization amounted to approximately € 26.8 million in relation to the 1,722,447 shares in circulation. As a result, the number of registered deposit accounts increased again from 843 at the end of 2013 to 946 at the end of the period.

The shareholder structure hardly changed in the first quarter of 2014. The three founders accounted for approximately 46 % of the share capital at the end of the quarter. The Company has own shares equivalent to 5.36 %. The remaining shares are predominantly held by institutional investors and private shareholders. Due to the increased level of interest in the MeVis share, the number of shareholders in the first quarter has increased by approximately 12 %.
Fig.: Shareholder structure as at March 31, 2014
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 has held around 41 % of the stock in Medis Holding BV, Leiden (Netherlands) since the beginning of June 2010. The pro-rata earnings of this equity interest are reported in the net financial result. This shareholding was sold in April 2014.
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 customers Siemens and Hologic. The Digital Mammography segment includes the business with Hologic, Inc..
In addition to the breast diagnostics business based on magnetic resonance imaging conducted with Invivo Corp., 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. 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).
Sales of € 2,828 k in the first quarter of 2014 were down by approximately 4 % on the level of the previous year (€ 2,948 k). The maintenance business fell by 9 % to € 1,372 k (prev. year: € 1,500 k) and the new license business was down by 2 % to € 1,337 k year on year (prev. year: € 1,371 k).
Revenues are broken down into the segments Digital Mammography at € 2,227 k (prev. year: € 2,285 k) and Other Diagnostics at € 601 k (prev. year: € 663 k). At 79 % (prev. year: 78 %), the Digital Mammography segment continues to be the main source of revenues for the Company.
The installed base of software licenses once again led to consistently high maintenance and service revenues. In the first quarter of 2014, the share of maintenance and service sales in total sales amounted to 49 % (prev. year: 51 %).
The rise in staff costs by 11 % to € 1,812 k (prev. year: € 1,636 k) is largely due to the increase in personnel provisions and the higher number of employees compared to the same period last year. At the end of the first quarter of 2014, MMS AG had 108 employees. This corresponds to 95 full-time equivalents (March 31, 2013: 108 employees or 92 full-time equivalents).
Capitalized development expenses in the period under review amounted to € 428 k (prev. year: € 410 k). As in the prior-year period, these accounted for staff costs related to the development of new products.
Other operating expenses decreased again considerably year on year, and totaled € 411 k (prev. year: € 449 k). This amount mainly comprised rental/leasing expenses of € 126 k (prev. year: € 94 k), maintenance/repair costs of € 48 k (prev. year: € 28 k), travel expenses of € 32 k (prev. year: € 37 k), accounting and auditing expenses of € 23 k (prev. year: € 29 k), and vehicle costs of € 21 k (prev. year: € 20 k).
EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) totaled € 1,100 k in the period under review (prev. year: € 1,304 k). The EBITDA margin decreased accordingly to 39 % (prev. year: 44 %).
Depreciation, amortization and impairments of intangible and tangible assets increased by 11 % to € 406 k (prev. year: € 366 k), which is largely due to the € 68 k increase in amortization of development services to € 261 k (prev. year: € 193 k).
Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) amounted to € 694 k in the reporting period (prev. year: € 938 k). Accordingly, the EBIT margin (return on sales) fell sharply to 25 % compared to a previous year value of 32 %.
The financial result increased in the reporting period to € 79 k (prev. year: € 7 k). The main reason for this rise is the improved earnings of the 51 % share in MeVis BreastCare GmbH & Co. KG of € 60 k (prev. year: € -57 k), which is recognized at equity.
Earnings before taxes (EBT) came to € 773 k in the reporting period (prev. year: € 945 k). Accordingly, the EBT margin (return on sales) fell sharply to 27 % compared to 32 % in the previous year.
After-tax earnings are impacted by income taxes and the deferred tax expenses of € 88 k reported here (prev. year: € 143 k), amounting to € 685 k in the period under review (prev. year: € 802 k).
This resulted in earnings per share of € 0.40 (prev. year: € 0.47).
Cash flow from current operating activities came to € 306 k (prev. year: € 717 k) in the period under review. This comprised earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of € 694 k (prev. year: € 938 k), adjusted for depreciation in the amount of € 406 k (prev. year: € 366 k), changes in provisions of € 2 k (prev. year: € -4 k), the total of all non-cash expenses and income of € 15 k (prev. year: € -25 k), the total of interest paid and received of € 53 k (prev. year: € 8 k), the total of taxes paid and received in the amount of € -12 k (prev. year: € -22 k), exchange rate differences paid and received of € 0 k (prev. year: € 16 k), changes in inventories and trade receivables and other assets of € -502 k (prev. year: € -620 k), and changes in trade payables and other liabilities of € -350 k (prev. year: € -13 k).
In the period under review, cash flow from investing activities came to € -4,465 k (prev. year: € -164 k) and mainly consisted of payments for capitalized development expenses of € -428 k (prev. year: € 410 k), payments for the acquisition of securities of € -7,428 k (prev. year: € 0 k) as well as payments received for the disposal of securities in the amount of € 3,450 k (prev. year: € 300 k).
Cash flow from financing activities, amounting to € -9 k (prev. year: € -12 k), consisted exclusively of leasing transactions.
The change in cash and cash equivalents in the period under review came to € -4,168 k (prev. year: € 541 k).
Liquid funds amounted to € 13,050 k (December 31, 2013: € 13,450 k) as of the balance sheet date. This comprised cash and cash equivalents of € 5,127 k (December 31, 2013: € 9,299 k) and securities available for sale of € 7,923 k (December 31, 2013: € 4,151 k).
Total assets increased by € 418 k to € 34,431 k (December 31, 2013: € 34,013 k) as of the end of the first quarter and the balance sheet structure remain largely unchanged compared to the end of the fiscal year 2013. The equity ratio increased slightly to 79 % (December 31, 2013: 78 %). Equity covered 155 % of fixed assets (December 31, 2013: € 152 %) and amounted to 104 % of current assets (December 31, 2013: 104 %). Fixed assets have stabilized at 51 % compared to total assets (December 31, 2013: 51 %).
The increase in assets is largely due to the increase in trade receivables of € 605 k to € 2,624 k (December 31, 2013: € 2,019 k). Other significant changes were related to financial assets, which increased by € 3,758 k to € 8,203 k (December 31, 2013: € 4,445 k) mainly due to the acquisition of securities. Cash and cash equivalents subsequently declined to € 5,127 k (December 31, 2013: € 9,299 k).
Equity was up 3 % to € 27,136 k (December 31, 2013: € 26,445 k) on the back of net profit for the year. Other significant changes in liabilities related to trade payables, which declined by € 575 k to € 214 k (December 31, 2013: € 789 k), and other current financial liabilities, which rose by € 266 k to € 1,061 k (December 31, 2013: € 795 k) largely due to the increase in staff liabilities.
The negotiations initiated with Reiber Consultancy B.V. regarding the sale of the 41 % investment in the Dutch company Medis Holding B.V., Leiden, to Reiber Consultancy B.V. were successfully concluded in April 2014. The proceeds from the sale of MMS AG shares amounted to € 500 k.
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, 2013 remain valid.
Despite the slightly lower first quarter compared to the previous year, we confirm our forecast for 2014. Given that the fiscal year 2013 was very successful, we anticipate a slight decline in sales to between € 12.0 million and € 12.5 million in 2014. The development of EBIT will in our view be significantly impacted by the forecast slight decline in sales and a marginal increase in costs. We expect EBIT to fall slightly to between € 3.0 million and € 3.5 million. Liquidity is anticipated to rise to between € 15.0 million and € 16.0 million in 2014 as a result of sustained positive cash flows from operating activities. As in the previous reporting period, the Executive Board will review its expectations during the financial 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 had not been satisfied as of the balance sheet date, it can be assumed that no options had been exercised by the employees and that no shares had been awarded to entitled members of the Executive Board. Accordingly, they are not included in the calculation of earnings per share, which means that diluted earnings per share are identical to basic earnings per share.
The weighted average of shares outstanding is determined by taking account of shares redeemed and reissued subject to a chronological weighting.
