Maintal, 11. May 2011 – The mobile-communications service provider
Drillisch (ISIN DE 0005545503) has started the new fiscal year successfully.
The consolidated result for the first quarter 2011 represents a marked improvement compared with the same period last year and was generated with 2.473 million subscribers. The dynamic growth in the subscriber base continued into the first quarter 2011. Compared with Q4-2010, the Postpaid subscriber base increased by 5.2% or 61,000. The Prepaid subscriber base decreased in the same period by only 20,000. Year on year, the subscriber base increased by 9.5 percent or 215,000 to 2.473 million. Postpaid business accounted for this growth in its entirety, gaining 216,000 subscribers to 1.253 million, equivalent to an increase of 20.8 percent. The number of prepaid subscribers dipped slightly by 0.1 percent, or 1,000 subscribers, to 1.220 million. As such, the ratio of postpaid to prepaid subscribers has improved significantly by year on year comparison, to 51 percent : 49 percent (Q1 2010: 46% : 54%).
The 'service revenues' and the new customer acquisition revenues, essentially the income from the provision of the ongoing wireless services (voice and data transmission) and their settlement on the basis of the current customer relationships rose in the first quarter of 2011 by EUR7.5 million or 11.5 percent to EUR72.4 million (Q1 2010: EUR64.9m). Other revenues, which include low-margin business such as sales of devices, declined by EUR11.8 million to EUR7.9 million (Q1 2010: EUR19.6m).. As such, total revenues decreased by EUR4.3 million or 5.1 percent overall to EUR80.3 million in the first quarter 2011 (Q1 2010: EUR84.6m).
Gross profit for the first quarter 2011 increased by some EUR1.7 million or 8.0 percent to EUR22.7 million compared with the first quarter 2010 (Q1 2010: EUR21.0 million) due to good results from the wireless services division. The gross profit margin improved by 3.4 percent points to 28.3 percent (Q1 2010: 24.9%) and even topped the excellent result for 2010 overall by 3.9 percent points (31 December 2010: 24.4%).
Compared with the same quarter the previous year, Group EBITDA increased by 13.7 percent or EUR1.5 million to EUR12.5 million (Q1 2010: EUR11.0 million). The EBITDA margin improved by 2.5 percent points to 15.5 percent (Q1 2010: 13.0%).
The profits generated from ordinary business activities were some 54.5 percent higher, at EUR14.6 million than the figure recorded for the same period last year (Q1 2010: EUR9.4 million). Consolidated profit improved by EUR4.3 million or 65.4 percent to EUR10.9 million (Q1 2010: EUR6.6 million). In addition to the improved operating result, the growth in consolidated profit was due primarily to cash flow-neutral income in the other financial result in combination with the increase of the stake in freenet AG.
As per the end of the quarter, cash and cash equivalents amounted to EUR20.4 million (31 December 2010: EUR27.6 million). Net financing liabilities amounted to EUR60.0 million as per 31 March 2011; an increase of EUR19.5 million compared with the first quarter 2010. Relative to year-end 2010, this equated to an increase of EUR30.7 million (31 December 2010: EUR29.3 million) and was mainly due to debt-financed investments in other financial assets in combination with the increase of the stake in freenet AG.
The successful start to fiscal 2011 has put us on track to further increase the value of the company. Drillisch is therefore forecasting an improvement in EBITDA to EUR52 million in fiscal 2011 following EUR49.3 million in fiscal 2010 and an increase of the postpaid subscriber base.
