The start of the year was still muted by the relatively long and severe winter. After a decline of 0.7% in the final quarter of 2012, gross domestic product (GDP) rose by a mere 0.1% in the first quarter after adjustment for seasonal, calendar and inflation effects. GDP is believed to have risen in the second quarter of 2013, as suggested by economic indicators. The modestly upward trend in orders since autumn of last year is increasingly being felt in industrial production. In turn, the construction industry is quickly making up for time lost due to bad weather at the start of the year. The overall economic impact of the flood will presumably be relatively minor despite the considerable financial losses. The improved economic situation can also be seen in corporate assessments. According to the ifo Business Climate Index, optimism among German companies was on the rise with regard to future business performance in May and June.
Despite the positive assessments, the risks arising from the debt crisis and the recession in the euro area, now ongoing for more than a year, remain considerable. While investments rose slightly in the first quarter after adjustment for seasonal and calendar effects, they were still significantly below the previous year's level at 5%. A recovery has been observed overall in exports. Adjusted for seasonal effects and in respective prices, exports climbed by 1.9% in April. Exports to other countries within the euro area were considerably lower than the previous year's level, but were compensated by exports to countries outside the European Union.
The employment market is still in good basic condition and is enjoying solid development in a difficult economic environment. Adjusted for seasonal effects, employment and employment subject to social security contributions increased into the beginning of the second quarter of 2013, but more recently did not grow any further, even given the long-standing restrictions due to poor weather conditions. The spring recovery caused unemployment to drop into June, though it was weaker overall than in previous years. 2.9 million people were registered as unemployed in Germany in June. The ifo Employment Barometer for German industry and trade, including the services sector, has fallen to its lowest level since June 2010. Increases and reductions in headcount at the companies surveyed are currently offsetting each other. No major movement on the labour market is currently assumed.
The temporary staffing market declined by around 5% in Germany in 2012. According to the trend data published by the German Federal Employment Agency, the number of people employed in the temporary staffing industry in April 2013 was 720,100, therefore around 6% less than the comparative figure for April 2012. Based on the seasonally adjusted figures available, a consolidation has been observed since November 2012. The absolute figures have been highly stable for six months now.
If the situation continues in a similar fashion, it is expected that the number of temporary workers will be below the previous year's level year-on-year. However, given the stable development of the employment market, it will remain difficult for the industry to recruit according to the high level of demand for temporary staff. This is particularly the case for specialist staff.
The effects of the collective industry surcharge agreements that have been gradually introduced in various industries since November 2012 are not yet conclusively assessed. Temporary staff will become more expensive for customer companies when high surcharges are reached on longer assignments. It cannot yet be predicted how the cost increases will be seen in the industries and operations affected in relation to the value of flexibility. The industry surcharges will no doubt be more beneficial to the image of temporary staff.
The competitive situation in the permanent placement field is basically unchanged and ongoing, driven by the scarcity of qualified staff. Companies' willingness to hire remained at an acceptable level despite the slowdown in employment momentum and a weak economic starting situation. The BA-X labour market index published by the German Federal Employment Agency that shows demand for workers has been declining steadily since 2012 and, at 144 points in May 2013, is down 27 points on the previous year. Demand, which is still respectable by longterm comparison, is influenced by replacement requirements driven by fluctuation as a result of the high employment level and the difficulty in filling vacancies promptly.
In the first six months of the 2013 financial year, the Amadeus FiRe Group generated consolidated sales of EUR 68,413k (previous year: EUR 66,557k), an increase of 2.8%. Sales rose year on year in all services and matched prior year levels in temporary staffing. There were two fewer chargeable days in the reporting period than in the same period of the previous year.
At EUR 27,728k, the Group's gross profit for the first half of the year almost exactly matched the previous year's figure of EUR 27,703k. Following the rise in sales, the gross profit margin is therefore 1.1 percentage points below the prior year figure (41.6%) at 40.5%. The margin effect is primarily due to the loss of sales because of two chargeable days less in the area of temporary staffing and the unusually high level of absence due to illness among temporary workers in Germany at the start of the year. The two effects together account for lost sales of EUR 1.1 million. This was countered by the rising share in permanent placement sales and an improved margin in training and education on account of better utilisation of courses.
Selling and administrative expenses increased by 3.4% in the reporting period to EUR 18,259k (previous year: EUR 17,666k). The rise is essentially due to higher expenses for training activities and IT. In the current year, the Group is investing in a comprehensive sales and sales management training programme and in the improvement of its sales software. Up by around 1%, staff costs and related materials costs almost matched the previous year's level.
In the first half of the year the operating profit (EBITA) came to EUR 9,512k (prior year: EUR 10,010k) a decrease by 5.0%. After six months the EBITA margin was at 13.9% compared to 15.0% in prior year's period.
The profit after taxes regressed from EUR 6,986k by EUR 349k or 5.0% to EUR 6,637k after six months. Adjusted by the net earnings effect of EUR 0.5m due to the lower number of chargeable days the profit after taxes is slightly above prior year's level. From this result a gain of EUR 313k (prior year: EUR 388k) is attributable to minority interest.
The earnings per share, in relations to the profit for the period attributable to the ordinary equity holders of the parent, amount to EUR 1.21 (prior year: EUR 1.30).
Sales in the personnel services segment amounted to EUR 60,807k, an increase of 2% as against the same period of the previous year.
In the first six months of the year under review, orders in the area of temporary work were down slightly year-onyear consistently. In addition to general salary increases, the collective labour surcharge agreements meant higher hourly rates in temporary staffing. Amadeus FiRe only has a smaller portion of its assignments in industries where the surcharges apply. In that cases where sur charges have to be paid the customers currently do accept the higher costs. In the first quarter there was an unusual event in that the level of absence due to illness among temporary workers was more than 40% higher than the long-term average, which had a correspondingly direct impact on sales and earnings. The situation returned to normal in the second quarter.
Sales from interim and project management increased by 22% year-on-year. The order situation is proving positive in a somewhat restrained environment.
Performance in the area of permanent placement was encouraging once again, with sales rising by 8% compared to the same period of the previous year. This meant that these services continued their growth path. Neither the still fundamentally weak overall economic environment nor indications of a slowdown in employment momentum have so far affected companies' willingness to hire.
The following sales were attributed to the individual services:
| In EUR k | Jan-June 2013 |
Prior Year |
Change in % |
|---|---|---|---|
| Temporary staffing | 49,812 | 49,723 | 0% |
| Interim / project management |
4,212 | 3,442 | +22% |
| Permanent placement | 6,783 | 6,286 | +8% |
| Total segment | 60,807 | 59,451 | +2% |
The result of this segment after the first six months totals to EUR 8,495k compared to EUR 9,402k in prior year's period.
The segment assets amounted to EUR 40,829k on 30 June 2013, compared to EUR 51,679k on 31 December 2012. This development is mainly due to the reduction of cash and cash equivalents caused by dividend payments. Contrarily was the effect of the increase of trade receivables.
Sales in the Training and Education segment climbed by 7% in the first six months of the financial year to EUR 7,606k (previous year: EUR 7,106k). Both private and corporate customer business developed positively. A drop in demand for training opportunities in the field of international accounting can still be observed.
The segment's earnings in the first half of the year amounted to EUR 1,017k after EUR 608k in the previous year. In addition to the sales growth, the positive development was aided by only a slight rise in expenses.
The segment's assets amounted to EUR 9,534k as at 30 June 2013 as against EUR 8,055k as at 31 December 2012. The change was predominantly due to the rise in cash and cash equivalents.
Cash flow from operating activities amounted to EUR 4,773k in the first half of the year after EUR 5,345k in the previous year. The relatively low cash inflow was due to the drop in earnings for the period (EUR 349k) and changes in net working capital (EUR 647k). The change in net working capital as against the previous year was essentially influenced by the increase in trade receivables. Payments for taxes were EUR 297k below the previous year's level.
Cash and cash equivalents used in investing activities climbed by EUR 85k as a result of the EUR 153k decline in interest received. At EUR 316k in total, the amount of cash and cash equivalents used for acquisitions of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment was EUR 68k less in the first half of the year than in the same period of the previous year. The acquisitions predominantly related to improving the IT and office infrastructure.
A dividend of EUR 15,335k was paid to the shareholders of Amadeus FiRe AG in the period under review. This corresponds to a distribution of EUR 2.95 per share after EUR 2.84 in the previous year. No further cash and cash equivalents were used for financing activities beyond this. A distribution was not paid to the non-controlling interest Steuer-Fachschule Dr. Endriss GmbH & Co. KG (previous year: EUR 480k).
On 30 June 2013 cash and cash equivalents totals to EUR 24,487k (prior year: EUR 25,830k).
The equity ratio was 64% as of 30 June 2013.
The number of employees on customer assignment amounts to 2,052 at the end of June. The comparable number in the prior year was 2,077. This is slight decrease of 1%.
The following table shows the number of employees active at the cut-off date.

There were no material related party transactions or agreements in the reporting period.
The general economic conditions in Germany as described in the current annual report and the report on the first quarter have not changed significantly for the Amadeus FiRe Group. However, the Institute for the World Economy and Deutsche Bundesbank recently adjusted their growth forecast for real gross domestic product in 2013 downwards to 0.3%. The consensus of various banks and institutions and government forecasts still put GDP growth at around half a per cent.
The relevant economic and sentiment indicators have been predominantly neutral to positive in the year to date. For example, the ifo Business Climate Index improved substantially in the first half of 2013 compared with its projections in the second half of 2012. The recession in the euro zone is still lingering and there are still considerable risks and uncertainties for the domestic economy and growth expectations in the euro zone.
An ongoing willingness of companies to recruit and hire is also likely to depend on a continuation of the relative flexibility in the labour market. Additional regulation of temporary staffing could jeopardise this flexibility. The influence of industry premium wage agreements on the temporary work industry as a whole cannot yet be foreseen. In the specialised market environment of the Amadeus FiRe Group, acceptance of the changes by market participants has initially been observed.
There are currently no recognisable risks which threaten the existence of the Amadeus FiRe Group. For more details, please refer to the Risk Report section of the 2012 Annual Report.
The third quarter will have 66 chargeable days, one more than in the same period of the previous year and six more than the current reporting quarter due to calendar effects. The higher number of chargeable days in the third quarter as against the second will generally result in a rise in sales and earnings.
The aim of the Amadeus FiRe Group is still to counteract the weak overall economic conditions and the negative outlook for the industry by increasing productivity. The business environment is expected to remain challenging in 2013.
Taking into account current economic forecasts and the scarcity of qualified applicants, moderate order development is expected in the area of temporary work. The recruitment of qualified staff will remain difficult in a robust and competitive labour market. The industry wage surcharges mean that moderate price growth is likely. All in all, Amadeus FiRe expects to buck the general market trend and post further growth in sales from temporary work as the year progresses.
Assuming that the market situation remains stable, Amadeus FiRe is planning to increase its sales in Interim and Project Management services.
The Permanent Placement division correlates most closely to economic developments. Contrary to our expectations and contrary to declining trends in some of the indicators described in this report, a drop in demand has not been observed to date. The possibility that companies will become increasingly unwilling to hire before the end of this financial year cannot be ruled out.
On the basis of the annual event calendar, Training and Education will deliver a higher contribution to earnings in the second half of the financial year than in the first. With the exception of training in international accounting standards, a positive development is expected across the board.
Based on the current order situation and assuming that general economic factors develop as forecast, the Management Board expects earnings for the 2013 financial year to again be higher than the industry average for specialist personnel service providers. Further information can be found in the forecast section of the 2012 annual report.
We confirm that, to the best of our knowledge, and in accordance with the applicable reporting principles for interim financial reporting, the interim consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of the Group, and the interim management report includes a fair review of the development and performance of the business and the position of the Group, together with a description of the material opportunities and risks associated with the expected development of the group for the remaining months of the financial year.
