With the presentation of the Semi-Annual Report, law now requires a so-called Oath of Financial Responsibility from the Executive Board. We hereby do so:
"To the best of our knowledge, we assert that in adherence to the applicable reporting principles for interim financial reporting, the Group's interim consolidated financial statements provide a true and fair view of the Group's asset, financial, and earnings situation, and that the Group Interim Status Report presents a true and fair view of the course of business, including the performance of the business and the situation of the Group, as well as a description of the principal opportunities and risks associated with the Group's projected development during the remaining months of the financial year."
Despite the excellent prospects of the overall economy, business elation suffered a substantial setback in June. As announced by the Munich-based Ifo-Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung (Institute for Economic Research), the Ifo Business Climate Index declined significantly and unexpectedly. The business climate is defined as the median point between the current business situation and the outlook. Following three consecutive increases, this most important of Germany's economic indicators thus retreated to February levels and fell further from the 18-year record attained in December 2006. The 7000 businesses queried assessed both their outlook and their status as less favourable than in May. Particularly the manufacturing industry and wholesalers expressed caution. The effects of the VAT increase, on the other hand, have become almost negligible and seem to effect only certain sectors such as the automotive industry. In contrast, the confidence of Germany's high-tech sector is greater than it has been at any time over the past six years, as determined by a quarterly survey undertaken by German Bundesverbad Informationswirtschaft, Telekommunikation und neue Medien, BITKOM (the German Association for Information Technology, Telecommunications and New Media) within this sector. According to the survey, 78 per cent of the participating enterprises expect increased sales in 2007. The BITKOM sector index for the second quarter shows an increase to 63.5 points – the highest value since the survey was introduced in 2001. The sector market is driven particularly by providers of software, IT services and digital entertainment electronics. BITKOM concludes that thanks to the positive economic situation, strong investments are being made in the latest information and communication technology. However, the information technology boom is also leading to manpower shortages of IT specialists and engineers. 59 per cent of businesses who participated in the survey indicated that their operations were effected negatively by the shortage of specialised staff.
Traditionally, the demand for consultancy and services has a strong impact on CENIT AG's 2 ndQuarter , just as expenditures for hiring and attracting new employees, whose number is set to grow by more than 10% over the current business year. On the balance-sheet date, CENIT employed 578 staff members world-wide (2006: 544). Currently, a total of 100 vacant positions are waiting to be filled. The expansion of our software product portfolio and the necessary internationalization of our business require additional strategic investments; these have been initiated over the past months. Among them is the establishment of a company in Toulouse, France, in close proximity to EADS Airbus, as well as the faster-than-expected expansion of staff numbers in Romania, where a total of 14 staff members are now employed. In addition to a very strong 1st Quarter, sales and earnings by CENIT's product business should be expected during the 4th Quarter, particularly with regard to the sales cooperation with IBM/FileNet. For its part, IBM now projects software sales for the second half of the year, due to the integration of FileNet.
After 6 months, consolidated sales have increased slightly to currently 38.05 m € (06/2006: 37.41 m € / 2%). The gross surplus is 29.49 m € (06/2006: 28.99 m € / 1.7%). During the reporting period, EBITDA attained 5.21 m € (06/2006: 5.26 m € / -1%), EBIT attained 4.68 m € (06/2006: 4.75 m / -1.5%). Pre-tax EBT grew by 10% to 4.95 m € (06/2006: 4.52 m €). A significantly higher tax ratio of 37% during the 2nd Quarter (2006: 23%) led to a consolidated result of 3.11 m € (06/2006: 3.50 m €). The Group's EPS thus reached 0.36 € (06/2006 adjusted: 0.42 €). Operative cash flow amounts to 6.26 m € (06/2006: 5.12 m €).
During the 2nd Quarter of 2007, CENIT Group achieved sales of 20.4 m € (06/2006: 18.2 m € / 12%). Gross profits amounted to 13.85 m € (06/2006: 14.19 m € / -2.5%). EBITDA attained 1.93 m € (06/2006: 2.38 m € / -19%). 2nd Quarter earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) amounted to 1,66 m € (06/2006: 2.15 m € / -22.8%). EBT amounted to 1.80 m € (06/2006: 2.08 m € / -13.4%), and the Group result for the 2nd Quarter is 1.11 m € (06/2006: 1.53 m €). The Group EPS reached 0.13 € per share (06/2006 adjusted: 0.18 €).
The sales volume of the service sector increased by 4% to currently 22.16 m € (06/2006: 21.32 m €), making it the strongest contributor to sales (58%). During the first 6 months of the current business year, CENIT software turnover amounted to 5.96 m € (06/2006: 6.20 m € / -4%). Thus, approx. 16% of total turnover can be attributed to CENIT's proprietary software. Sales of non-CENIT software increased by 14% to 4.03 m € (06/2006: 3.54 m €), thus accounting for 11% of total sales. The hardware business contracted by 7% to 5.90 m € (06/2006: 6.34 m €). As at balance-sheet date, this equalled approx. 15% of total CENIT sales.
CENIT (Switzerland) AG achieved sales of 1.6 m € (06/2006: 1.5 m €), EBIT being 0.8 m € (06/2006: 0.5 m €). CENIT North America Inc. achieved sales of 2.6 m € (06/2006:1.3 m €) and an EBIT of 0.4 m € (06/2006: - 0.2 m €).
During the 2006 financial year, CENIT established a subsidiary in Romania. This subsidiary is in the start-up phase and will expand further in 2007. With sales of 0.1 m €, CENIT SRL achieved an EBIT of 0.02 m €.
With the establishment of a new company in Toulouse, France, CENIT is expanding its activities particularly in the vicinity of EADS Airbus and its suppliers.
Other operating expenses have developed in accordance with projections.
Investments during the first 6 months of 2007 amounted to 0.8 m € (30.06.2006: 0.6 m €).
Andreas Schmidt, Member of the Executive Board, resigned from company on July 31, 2007.
None
During the reporting period there was no status risk for the Group. For more information, please refer to the detailed risk management report contained in 2006 Business Report.
No interim dividend was paid out.
During the Annual Shareholders' Meeting, held June 20, 2007, the payout of a dividend of 50 cents (2006: 45 cents) to shareholders and a retention of reserves in the amount of 3.5 m € was approved.
Group-wide, orders on hand increased by 21% as at June 30, 2007 and now amount to 22 m € (12/2006: 18.2 m €). Incoming orders amount to approx. 46 m € (6 months 2006: 46 m €). During the 2nd Quarter, the total share of new customers was 5%.
None
On the balance-sheet date, the total of bank deposits and securities in current assets amounted to 14.9 m € (12/2006: 18.7 m €). On June 21, total dividends of 4.2 m. € were paid out to shareholders.
The balance-sheet total amounted to 35.4 m €. Trade debtors and other assets totalled 14.4 m €. The good profit situation has positive consequences for the Group's assets status. As at June 30, 2007, the Group's net worth was approx. 23.41 m € (2006: 24.3 m €), at an equity ratio of 66% (2006: 62%). The operative cash flow was 6.26 m € (2006: 5.12 m €).
On balance-sheet date, CENIT had a total of 578 employees world-wide (2006: 544). Currently 100 vacant positions are waiting to be filled. The employee pool grew by approx. 6 per cent.
CENIT's Executive Board expects that CENIT and its partners IBM/FileNet, SAP and Dassault will be able to increase earnings in the software sector as projected, particularly during the second half of the year. The process of internationalization and the consistent increase in staff will continue in the future. The assessment of business opportunities remains positive, and all efforts will be undertaken to fill the currently vacant, approx. 100 positions worldwide for software specialists, engineers and consultants within the current year. In general, the assumptions made in the 2006 Financial Statement with respect to the future development of CENIT remain valid. With regard to Group earnings and the operative Group result, we continue to expect increases over the previous rear.
