Frankfurt/Main, October 23, 2014 . After nine months of fiscal year 2014 Amadeus FiRe group achieved consolidated sales revenues of EUR 119,301k, an increase of 12.7% on prior year. There was the same number of billable days in the reporting period as in the same period of the previous year. All services of the Amadeus FiRe Group contributed to the sales improvement.

At EUR 50,434k, the gross profit after three quarters is up 12.7% on the previous year’s figure of EUR 44,752k. The gross profit margin was unchanged year-on-year at 42.3%. Slight improvements in the margins of all three personnel services were neutralised by a decline in the margin for training services.

Selling and administrative expenses increased to EUR 30,788k (previous year: EUR 27,671k). The increase of 11,3% was essentially due to personnel expenses. In addition to general salary increases and additional staff in the sales organisation, expenses for performance-based remuneration rose significantly.
