Amadeus FiRe AG: Final figures for 2012

Frankfurt/Main, 20 March 2013. Amadeus FiRe confirms the preliminary
figures for financial year 2012.
The Amadeus FiRe Group generated consolidated revenue of EUR 137.0m in
fiscal year 2012, up 5.3% on prior year's figure. The increase in sales was
caused by the temporary staffing, the permanent placement and the training
service lines. Only sales in interim- / project management were below prior
year.
Primarily due to the lower gross profit margins in temporary staffing and
interim management the total gross profit margin fell from 42.9% in the
prior year to 42.5%.
The selling and administrative expenses rose by EUR 2.0m compared to prior
year. The increase largely stems from the effect on the year as a whole of
comprehensive investment in the operating business already carried out in
2011, and the rental of new, larger offices.
In the past fiscal year the operative group result (EBITA) amounted to EUR
22.7m (prior year: EUR 22.2m). This is an increase of 2.3%.
The EBITA margin was 16.6% after 17.1% in the prior year.
In fiscal year 2012 an impairment loss in the training segment of EUR 3.1m
was recognized in connection with the impairment testing of goodwill in the
balance sheet.
The Amadeus FiRe group generated a consolidated profit after minority
interests of EUR 13.5m after EUR 14.8m in the prior year.
Earnings per share stand at EUR 2.60, down from EUR 2.84 in the prior year.
Adjusted for the net effect of the impairment of goodwill, earnings per
share rose by EUR 0.11 to EUR 2.95.
2012 was the most successful operating year in the history of the Amadeus
FiRe Group. In view of the fact that management board and supervisory board
anticipate no additional liquidity requirements at present a dividend of
EUR 2.95 per share will proposed at the AGM on 23 May 2013. This dividend
represents the Group's profit adjusted for the net effect of the goodwill
impairment. The proposed dividend is almost 4% higher than in the prior
year and would be the largest dividend in the history of Amadeus FiRe.
The annual report 2012 will be published on 28 March 2013 on the Amadeus
FiRe-website (www.amadeus-fire.de).
