"We closed 2017 with a profit after a positive fourth quarter in which revenue in the Netherlands was up on the back of a strong increase in business among clients in the public sector and financial services. Belgium/Luxembourg once again performed strongly.
For the full year 2017, we noted modest revenue growth and a lower return. Results came under pressure in the first half of the year, but improved in the course of the second half. The improvement in the second half of the year is encouraging and was driven by persistent demand in the market, higher productivity and lower costs due to the now completed effectiveness and efficiency programme. Our cash position was higher at year-end 2017.
Over the past year, we focused on revenue growth and the recruitment of new employees. Thanks to extra efforts on the recruitment front, we hired more new employees than ever before in 2017. Staff turnover remained high throughout the year, particularly in the Netherlands. The dynamic employment market means the retention of our professionals remains a top priority.
Delivering added value to our clients as an IT and business partner is a key development. Our business propositions play an important role in this. They enable us to translate technology into solutions for business issues. In 2017, we booked some excellent results with each of these propositions; for instance, we now have more than 60 High performance teams working for clients. This has resulted in recognition in the market. For instance, Ordina secured first place in the category Secondment & Outsourcing of the MT1000 ranking and a high recommendation score in the Giarte survey."
Revenue Q4 2017
In the fourth quarter of 2017, revenue increased by 7.2% to EUR 90.2 million (Q4 2016: EUR 84.2 million). The number of workable days was 63 in the Netherlands (Q4 2016: 64) and 62 in Belgium/Luxembourg (Q4 2016: 62). The impact of one workable day for the Netherlands is around EUR 0.9 million in revenue and EUR 0.7 million in EBITDA.

EBITDA FY 2017 EBITDA (after redundancy costs) declined to EUR 14.5 million in 2017 (2016: EUR 15.1 million). Redundancy costs came in at EUR 5.9 million (2016: EUR 6.0 million). The EBITDA margin declined to 4.2% (2016: 4.4%).
A number of one-off items with a net total value of EUR 3.1 million had a positive impact on the result in the first half of the year under review. These one-off items included the release of a provision for vacant office space.
The now completed effectiveness & efficiency programme had a positive impact of around EUR 1.8 million (before redundancy costs) on the 2017 result. This programme will have a positive impact of around EUR 3- 4 million on the result for 2018.

Netherlands In the Netherlands, revenue was down 0.7% at EUR 254.3 million (2016: EUR 256.1 million). The EBITDA margin declined to 2.2% (2016: 2.5%).
In the Netherlands we recognise Delivery and the Innovation cluster.
Delivery Revenue at Delivery declined by 0.8% to EUR 234.6 million in 2017 (2016: EUR 236.5 million), largely due to a lower number of direct employees at Ordina. Due to higher productivity in the second half of the year and revenue from external hires (including freelancers) we realised revenue growth in the second half of 2017. EBITDA declined to EUR 6.0 million in 2017, from EUR 9.0 million in 2016.
Innovation cluster The Innovation cluster recorded a rise in revenue of 1.0% to EUR 19.8 million (2016: EUR 19.6 million). EBITDA improved to EUR -0.3 million (2016: EUR -2.6 million).
Belgium/ Luxembourg In Belgium/Luxembourg, revenue rose by 3.5% to EUR 90.5 million (2016: EUR 87.5 million). EBITDA was up at EUR 8.8 million (2016: EUR 8.7 million). The positive return was largely driven by higher revenues and high productivity.
Revenue Q4 2017
.
Revenue increased by 7.2% to EUR 90.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2017 (Q4 2016: EUR 84.2 million). Ordina recorded strong growth in the public sector and in financial services.

Revenue FY 2017
Healthcare Revenue in the healthcare sector declined by 9.0% to EUR 22.5 million (2016: EUR 24.7 million), due in particular to the lower revenue from compliance consultancy in the pharmaceutical industry in Belgium/Luxembourg.

Depreciation Depreciation amounted to EUR 7.6 million in 2017 (2016: EUR 5.4 million). The increase in depreciation costs was partly due to the fact that we decommissioned a part of our ERP application. The simplification of our processes means we have opted for a simplified environment. As a result, we accelerated the depreciation of part of the ERP application.
Net profit & dividend The net profit for 2017 came in at EUR 3.1 million (2016: EUR 5.0 million). Net earnings per share (EPS) amounted to EUR 0.03 (2016: EUR 0.05). The General Meeting of Shareholders will be asked to approve the payment of a cash dividend of 2 euro cents (EUR 0.02) per share, to be charged to the 2017 net profit. This is a pay-out ratio of 60% of the net profit and is related to the increased cash position at year-end 2017. The remainder of the net profit will be
Shares Ordina issued no new shares in 2017 (issue in 2016: 297,262 shares). The company intends to acquire 30,610 ordinary shares in Ordina N.V. in the context of the share bonus schemes for the Management Board. This will prevent any share dilution.

Net cash and cash flow At year-end 2017, Ordina had a net cash position of EUR 10.9 million (year-end 2016: EUR 2.7 million). The higher net cash position was driven by strict working capital management and an early payment from a large client.
