Frankfurt/Main, 19 July 2007. In the first six months of the fiscal year
the Group has achieved consolidated sales revenues of EUR K 43.493 (prior
year EUR K 31.145), an increase of 39,6 per cent. The first half year had
one chargeable day less than the prior year’s period. Despite strong
comparable figures temporary staffing achieved the highest volume
increase with nearly unchanged charge rates (+ 51 per cent). Revenues in
Interim-/Project-management grew by 14 per cent in the first six months.
Recruitment/Permanent Placement revenues were 60 per cent above prior
year. Revenues in Training and Education increased by 13 per cent.
After six months of the fiscal year the Group had achieved a gross profit
of EUR K 17.569 after EUR K 12.512 in prior year’s period. The gross
profit margin was 40,4 per cent and marginally above prior year.
In the first half year the selling and administrative expenses increased
by 15,5 per cent to EUR K 11.195 compared with EUR K 9.692 last year.
The operating profit totals EUR K 6.419 and has increased by 124 per cent
compared to prior year’s EUR K 2.871. After six months the EBITA margin
is at 14,8 per cent compared to 9,2 per cent in prior year’s period.
The upcoming quarter (Q3) has most chargeable days and is therefore the
quarter with the highest sales of the fiscal year. Based on a sustained
good order book it is expected to achieve an improved result compared to
prior year’s quarter. The projections for the fiscal year 2007 are
raised. Sales of EUR 88 m and an EBITA of approximately EUR 11 m are
expected.
