In the first six months of fiscal year 2013/2014 the BRAIN FORCE Group generated revenues in the amount of € 50.59 m, which is an increase of 22% compared to the same period of the previous year. In particular the operative division in the Netherlands recorded a significant revenue growth during this period.
In the reporting period the EBITDA rose by 72% from € 1.84 m to € 3.16 m; the operating result (EBIT) more than doubled and improved from € 0.9 m to € 2.35 m. The improvement of the operating results is attributable, on the one hand, to the increase in revenues and, on the other hand, to the increase in revenues in the Professional Services sector in Germany.
The financial result improved from € -0.39 to € -0.10 m.
In total, the Group generated a profit before taxes of € +2.25 m compared to € +0.15 m in the previous year. The profit after taxes amounted to € +1.20 m compared to € +0.01 m in the same period of the previous year.
Earnings per share amounted to € 0.08 (previous year: € 0).
The BRAIN FORCE HOLDING AG started a share buy-back program on 13 March 2014 with the estimated duration until 28 August 2015. The share's purchase price will be the average rate of the last five stock exchange days with a margin of +/- 20%. Purpose of the buy-back is the improvement of the capital structure as well as of the supply and demand for shares of BRAIN FORCE HOLDING AG at the stock exchange.
In the Annual General Meeting of 5 March 2014 the registered business address of BRAIN FORCE HOL-DING AG was transferred from Vienna to Vöcklabruck and entered into the commercial register of the regional court Wels on 3 May 2014.
In the second quarter of fiscal year 2013/14 the Group revenue increased by 29% compared to the previous year to € 25.60 m. In Germany revenues increased by 23% to € 13.37 m, Italy recorded an increase by € 1.56 m to € 7.40 m. After a strong growth in sales in the first quarter the division in the Netherlands increased their revenue again by 76% to € 4.20 m compared to the same period of the previous year. In the division Central and Eastern Europe the revenue decreased in the amount of € 0.18 m to € 0.63 m.
The EBITDA of the BRAIN FORCE Group almost doubled in the second quarter from 0.89 in the previous year to € 1.77 m. The EBIT amounted to € 1.37 m and increased more than threefold compared to the previous year´s figure of € 0.42 m. A main reason for that were result improvements in the divisions of Germany, Italy and the Netherlands.
In the first six months the cash flow from continuing operations increased by € 0.77 m from € 1.85 m to € 2.62 m. The cash flow from operating activities (operating cash flow) amounted to € -1.31 m compared to € 1.93 m in the previous year. The negative cash flow is mainly affected by an increase in the working capital as well as a rise of the taxes on income in Germany and Italy.

As at March 31, 2014 the Group´s balance sheet total amounted to € 50.09 m; the Group´s equity totaled € 20.32 m, the equity ratio was 41%.
The working capital (inventories plus trade receivables plus other current receivables less trade payables and other current liabilities) increased in the first six months from € -0.55 m to € +1.71 m, which can be mainly attributed to the increase in trade payables (€ +0.74 m), the increase of other liabilities (€ +3.22 m) as well as trade receivables (€ +4.07 m) and other receivables (€ +2.04 m). As of the reporting date on March 31, 2014 net financial means amounted to € 3.43 m compared to net debts in the amount of € 4.63 m in the previous year.
Research and development is of significant importance for BRAIN FORCE HOLDING AG. The subsidiaries ensure that all products are kept up to date. This applies in particular in Italy to the add-ons for Microsoft Dynamics AX and NAV.
As of March 31, 2014 the BRAIN FORCE Group employed 834 (salaried and free) employees, which is approximately 7% above the level of 3/31/2013.
