Amadeus AG continues its very positive development during the second quarter of fiscal year 2001/2002. The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with IAS and show at 30th of September 2001 sales revenues of KEuro 34.765 (prior year KEuro 21.193) during the first six months, an increase of 64,0%. The group’s organic growth was 35,1%. The earnings before interest, income tax and amortization (EBITA) amounted to KEuro 5.048 (prior year KEuro 2.715), an increase of 85,9 %. The EBITA margin for the half year was 14,5 % (prior year 12,8 %). The net income after minorities amounted to KEuro 2.439. The undiluted earnings per share including goodwill amortization increased by 80,8 % to Euro 0,47 (prior year Euro 0,26). Currently, projections for the coming months are very difficult due to the not foreseeable impacts of the tragical incidents in the United States on the national economies. Due to the positioning of the Amadeus Group being a niche player providing high qualified services with an emphasis on finance and accounting Amadeus’ management is confident to achieve the challenging published EBITA target of approx. 9,5 million Euro.
