Frankfurt/Main, 17 March 2010. The Amadeus FiRe group confirms the
preliminary figures for fiscal year 2009.
The Amadeus FiRe group generated revenues of EUR 110.7m in fiscal year
2009, down 3 per cent on the prior year figure. Except the revenues of
permanent placement/ recruitment of all other service areas were steady or
exceeded revenues of 2008.
At 39.2 per cent, the gross profit margin was below the high prior year
figure of 41.9 per cent.
The selling and administrative expenses were 8.1 per cent lower than prior
year.
The operative group result before goodwill amortisation (EBITA) amounted
to EUR 16.1m (prior year: EUR 18.1m). The decrease in revenues for
permanent placement and the lower margin of temporary staffing were not
fully offset by cost savings.
The EBITA margin was 14.5 per cent after 15.8 per cent in the prior year.
As a result of the impairment test, goodwill was impaired by EUR 0.3m.
Fiscal year 2009 was closed with a consolidated profit after minority
interests of EUR 9.8m compared with EUR 9.2m in the prior year.
Due to the good results management and supervisory board will propose the
distribution of EUR 1.45 per share at the general shareholder meeting on
27 May 2010.
The annual report 2009 will be published on 1 April 2010 on the Amadeus
FiRe-website (www.Amadeus-FiRe.de).
