In the first half of the fiscal year the Group has achieved consolidated sales revenues of EUR k 23.530 (prior year 01.01. – 30.06.2004: EUR k 21.620) an increase of 8,8 per cent. The number of chargeable days compared to prior year has been unchanged.
At 30th of June 2005 the consolidated financial statements which are prepared in accordance with IFRS show the following revenues in the different services:
Temporary staffing gained a volume growth of about 10 per cent which was partly compensated by lower average hourly charge rates.
Unabated strong the demand for interim/project management services has picked up. For the first six months sales add up to an increase of 25,8 per cent after an increase of 23,1 per cent in the first quarter.
Recruitment/permanent placement services rose also in the 2nd quarter and achieved an increase of 16,3 per cent after six months.
Half year sales of Steuer-Fachschule Dr. Endriss in the training and education sector were 4,4 per cent above prior year.
In the reporting period AMADEUS FIRE achieved a gross profit of EUR k 9.129 compared to EUR k 8.601 in prior year. The gross profit margin was 38,8 per cent against 39,8 per cent in prior year. The reduction of gross profit margin is mainly caused by lower margin in the area of training and education as well as higher deployment in recruitment.
The selling and administrative expenses in the first six months amount to EUR k 8.181 which is 2,2 per cent above prior year's EUR k 8.006.
Due to increased sales the operating profit totals EUR k 1.010 (prior year: EUR k 603), an increase of 67,5 per cent. The EBITA margin at mid-year is 4,3 per cent compared to 2,8 per cent in prior year's period. The planned result was slightly exceeded.
IFRS 3 was adopted for the first time in quarter April 1 to June 30, 2004 which was the first quarter in the shortened fiscal year 2004. Prior year's quarter January 1 to March 31, 2004 therefore includes goodwill amortization. The net income before minority interests for the first six months of fiscal year 2005 totals EUR k 854 after EUR k 150 in the prior year (prior year including goodwill amortization). The undiluted earnings per share amount to EUR 0,12 (prior year: EUR -0,03).
In the first six months the cash flow from operating activities add up to EUR k 832 (prior year EUR k 251). The increase of funds is mainly caused by an improved operating profit. Net capital expenditure in the reporting period amount to EUR k 253 (prior year: EUR k 147).
Dividends to minority shareholders of Steuer-Fachschule Dr. Endriss of EUR k 560 and to the shareholders of EUR k 529 have been paid.
At June 30, 2005 the cash position totals to EUR k 12.511.
Due to a commenced pick up of demand in the spezialized temporary staffing market a higher result than prior year is expected for the period July to September.
