The Nemetschek Group, a leading supplier of software and consulting services in the field of building design, construction, and the management of buildings and real estate, has sustained the positive development of the 2003 fiscal year in the first quarter of 2004. The company was not only able to considerably increase earnings, it also achieved a growth in sales once more. On March 31, group sales had grown by 4.4 % to 23.0 million euros (previous year: 22.1 million euros). This growth was due to an increase in domestic sales. Nemetschek was able to increase its operating result at an even higher rate to 1.0 million euros (previous year: 0.5 million euros). The Group’s net income for the year rose from 0.1 million euros to 0.5 million euros. On March 31, 2004, the Nemetschek Group owned liquid assets worth 35.5 million euros (29.8 million euros on December 31, 2003). In recent years, Nemetschek has not only implemented extensive restructuring measures, it also created the basis for growth and profitability by clearly improving efficiency in all areas of the company. Nemetschek is now confirming the reversal of the trend and is back on a growth course in a still difficult environment. In 2004, the Group’s activities are focusing even more strongly on the market and its customers, in order to further improve sales revenues. Despite the continuing economic difficulties in the target markets, the Managing Board’s outlook for 2004 is positive, and they expect sales revenues to continue to increase slightly, and earnings to develop at a faster rate. The company will publish its quarterly report on May 21, 2004.
