PSI Group Data as per 31 March 2005 at a Glance (IFRS)
The PSI group closed the first quarter of 2005 as predicted with an EBIT of 0.2 million euros and a balanced group result. Sales for the first three months of the year were, at 28.4 million euros, slightly below the value of 29.9 million euros for last year.
In the Network Management segment (energy, telecommunication, traffic) the recovery continued in the first quarter. Sales decreased by 5% to 15.6 million euros; the EBIT improved by 0.4 million euros to 0.3 million euros.
The Production Management segment (industry, logistics), with 0.3 million euros, had the third positive quarter in a row. Sales in Production Management increased by 11% to 11.0 million euros.
In Information Management (government, services) sales decreased to 1.9 million euros and the EBIT to -0.5 million euros. This segment still contained PK Software Engineering, which has been sold off, in the figures for the same quarter of last year.
The volume of new orders in the group in the first three months was 32 million euros. The order inventory increased compared to 31 December 2004 by 4 million euros to 77 million euros.
The group's equity capital ratio increased as a result of the successfully completed capital increase from 25.5 to 29.6%. Liquidity on 31 March 2005 increased compared to the previous year by more than 10 million euros to 24.3 million euros after payment of the purchase of the minority shares of the steel software subsidiary PSI-BT.
On 31 March 2005 the PSI Group employed 1,065 persons (31 March 2004: 1,149).
In February 2005, PSI AG accomplished an increase in capital from approved capital by 1.1 million shares of stock. The new shares of stock have been placed with renowned investors from Germany and Switzerland. The flow of funding serves to finance the takeover reported in December 2004 of the minority holding of the VDEh steel institute on the steel software subsidiary PSI-BT.
The founding of the PSI-BT subsidiary in Shanghai (China) was completed in the first quarter.
The Board expects a further recovery of the Network Management segment and a continuation of the positive trend in Production Management. In Information Management there will be a decrease in the rental burden of 0.25 million euros in the second quarter. In this segment PSI is continuing the establishment of the new business "Control Systems for Environmental and Disaster Protection" and expects additional orders here.
By merging offices additional cost-savings will be accomplished in the course of the year. In the second quarter a number of decisions will be made concerning major contracts in all the segments, so that a continuation of the positive trend can be expected as a whole.
