The growth rate of the German economy has slowed. Compared to the previous quarter the gross domestic product rose by just 0.1 % in the second quarter of the calendar year. Against the background of the declining momentum of German economic development, leading economic research institutes recently revised their growth forecasts for the current and the next calendar year downwards. According to the relevant survey indicators the mood among companies and consumers in Germany deteriorated quite markedly in the summer. However, in the meantime the upturn in Germany's domestic economy is well established.
The development in Germany is following the global economic trend, which is charac terised by the debt crisis in the euro zone and the economic recovery in the USA and Japan that is not progressing. As part of this trend, important emerging market countries have tightened their monetary policy. Not least the high volatility of the financial markets demonstrates increased uncertainty. In addition to the diminished global economic momentum, diverse temporary special factors also played a role in the weak development in the second quarter, such as the negative foreign economic momentum that have come with the move towards alternative energy sources. Furthermore, construction investments normalised after the catch-up effects in the first quarter. Consumers, too, exercised buying restraint as a result of the sovereign debt crisis and rising energy prices. However, investments in equipment und increased inventory expansion continue to make contributions to growth within Germany. Therefore, the basic trend of the German economy can currently be viewed as more healthy than the minimal growth suggests.
So far, the developments described above had no negative effects on the employment market, which has continued to benefit from the still high demand for labor in the third quarter of the calendar year. The number of registered unemployed in Germany continued to drop in the course of the autumn pick up, coming to 2,796 million or 6.6 % in September. Registered unemployment was thus less than 2.8 million for the first time since December 1991. Thus, the decrease in unemployment continues. Both the current ifo employment barometer and the German Federal Employment Agency employmentindex indicate that companies willingness to hire is still high.
According to current trend figures from the German Federal Employment Agency, the number of employees in the temporary staffing sector in July 2011 was at 831,400, signi ficantly above the figure of 741,000 at year end 2010. Furthermore, the actual figure is well above the figure of the comparable prior year period of 733,500. In the past, actual employment figures in the temporary staffing sector have tended to be higher than the figures for the respective trends. The number of temporary staffing employees is expected to increase again over the course of the year. Given the development of the labor market the number of temporary staffing companies reporting a decline in job applications received has recently increased significantly. This means that it is becoming more and more difficult for the industry to recruit the staff requested by customers. This applies increasingly to qualified employees as well.
Compared to the situation in the prior year quarter the companies' willingness to hire is growing noticeable. This leads to an increasing demand for the permanent placement area.
After nine months of fiscal year 2011 the Group achieved consolidated revenues of EUR k 97,820 (prior year EUR k 85,517). This is an increase in revenue of 14.4 %. The period had one chargeable day more than the respective prior year period. Even without this additional chargeable day the increase in sales would have been significant.
After the first nine months of the fiscal year, gross profit of the Amadeus FiRe Group amounted to EUR k 41,897 after EUR k 34,525 in prior year's period, an increase of 21.4 %. Amounting to 42.8 % in the first nine months the gross profit margin was 2.4 % points above the comparable prior year amount. This development is mainly due to the increased share of permanent placement and to the sales of the additional chargeable day. Furthermore, in interim and project management we increased our gross profit margin despite falling revenue. The gross profit margin for training decreased, however, partly due to lower attendance figures.
In the first nine months selling and administrative expenses came to EUR k 25,648. Compared to EUR k 22,075 recorded last year this is an increase of 16.2 %. This in crease was mainly ascribable to higher personnel and material costs in connection with an increase in sales staff as part of investments in our operations as well as higher marketing costs.
Other operating income of the prior year includes a special item of EUR k 195 of refunds due to an indemnity agreement.
Profit from operations came to EUR k 16,275 and exceeded prior year by EUR k 3,617 (+28.6 %). After nine months the EBITA margin is at 16.6 % compared to 14.8 % in prior year's period.
Profit after taxes of the reporting period is recorded at EUR k 11,164 after EUR k 8,637 last year. From this result a gain of EUR k 242 is attributable to minority interest (prior year EUR k 491). The earnings per share, in relations to the profit for the period attributable to the ordinary equity holders amount to EUR 2.10 (prior year EUR 1.57).
Revenues in this segment were EUR k 88,055, up 16 % on prior year amount of EUR k 75.701.
Order figures in temporary staffing were above the comparable prior year figures through out the first nine months. By the same token, the level of business has improved continually since the beginning of the year.
Revenue in the interim and project management area decreased by 9 % compared to the prior year period. The decrease is primarily due to the development in the premium business. Also, a change in contracts contributed to a dip in revenue; at the same time, this change resulted in a higher gross profit on sales.
Sales development in the permanent placement area in the first nine months of the fiscal year was very encouragingly compared to the respective prior year period. This documents the still increasing willingness to hire of the companies.
| Amounts stated in EUR k | Jan - Sept 2011 | Prior year | Change in per cent |
|---|---|---|---|
| Temporary staffing | 72.235 | 62.887 | + 15 % |
| Interim / project management | 6.309 | 6.912 | - 9 % |
| Permanent placement | 9.511 | 5.902 | + 61 % |
| Total segment | 88.055 | 75.701 | + 16 % |
The following sales were attributed to the individual services:
The result of this segment totals to EUR k 15,645 compared to EUR k 11,384 in prior year's period.
The segment assets amounted to EUR k 48,706 on 30 September 2011, compared to EUR k 43,959 on 31 December 2010. The change is mainly due to the increase of trade receivables and of cash and cash equivalents.
Revenues in the training segment were EUR k 9,765 in the first nine months 2011 (prior year: EUR k 9,816), and are slightly below prior year level. Business with corporate customers of this segment had to accept decreases in revenues.
The result of the segment after the first nine months of the fiscal year was EUR k 630 (prior year EUR k 1,275). The prior year result included EUR k 195 of refunds due to an indemnity agreement. Furthermore, due to a different marketing schedule marketing expenses in the reporting period were EUR k 72 higher than in the comparable period. These will be largely offset over the year as a whole. Furthermore, the lower result of the segment is largely attributable to lower attendance of courses in a number of fields.
Segment assets stood at EUR k 10,751 as of 30 September 2011, compared to EUR k 10,660 on 31 December 2010. The change is mainly due to the increase of trade receivables and of cash and cash equivalents.
After the first nine months the cash flow from operating activities amounts to EUR k 13,277 (prior year EUR k 8,808). The change to the comparable period is due to the improved result for the period and due to a significantly lower increase in trade receivables in the first nine months of the reporting year. This effect is a result of the business development.
Net cash flows used in investing activities increased by EUR k 400 to EUR k 800. EUR k 533 of this increase is due to the above mentioned acquisition of the outstanding 20 %-share in Akademie für Internationale Rechnungslegung Prof. Dr. Leibfried GmbH, Stuttgart. Regarding the acquisition of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment EUR k 487 were spent in the reporting period. The amount is almost equal to the amount of the comparable prior year period. Mainly acquisitions for the improvement of the IT infrastructure have been made. Interest received increased by EUR k 74 to EUR k 167 compared to the prior year period.
Net cash used in financing activities of EUR k 9,023 (prior year EUR k 8,217) include mainly with EUR k 8,681 (prior year EUR k 7,537) dividend payments to the shareholders of the Amadeus FiRe AG. Regarding the payments to minority interests EUR k 102 result from distributions to minority shareholders of Akademie für Internationale Rechnungslegung Prof. Dr. Leibfried GmbH, Stuttgart, and EUR k 240 result from distributions to minority shareholders of Steuer-Fachschule Dr. Endriss.
On 30 September 2011 cash and cash equivalents totals to EUR k 32,400 (prior year EUR k 25,146).
The equity ratio was 65 % as of 30 September 2011.
The number of employees on customer assignment amounts to 2,041 at the end of September. The comparable number in the prior year was 1,982. This is an increase of 3 %.
The following table shows the number of employees active at the cut-off date:

There were no material related party transactions or agreements in the reporting period.
The macroeconomic conditions in Germany described in the most recent annual report have not changed significantly for Amadeus FiRe. After the federal government had al ready raised its forecast real GDP growth for 2011 from 2.3 % to 2.6 % in April, over the course of the year several institutes initially revised their forecasts upwards to values above the 3 % mark, and have now revised them downwards again to values around the 3% mark. For 2012, several institutes have revised their latest growth forecasts downwards to values around the 1 % mark.
According to the most recent economic indicators, German companies assess the current business situation as weaker than in summer, but still positive. Therefore, higher growth is to be expected for the third quarter than for the second. However, German companies' expectations regarding business performance in the next six months have fallen significantly. This development may be attributable both to the increased discussions of previous weeks regarding the correct solution to the euro zone's debt crisis and to the weak economic developments, particularly with regard to the US.
The estimates of the leading institutes and the Federal Ministry of Economics are not entirely in agreement. If the European debt crisis should continue or even escalate, it is feared that the increasing uncertainty among consumers and companies will negatively affect the real economy over the winter. Consumers might hold off on their spending and companies may delay more and more of their investment decisions. It is agreed that the German economy in general is doing well. However, a slowdown on the world markets would exert a negative influence on Germany's export sector. For Germany at least, there is little possibility of looming recession. Instead, imminent stagnation or a phase of more modest growth is expected. Positive economic development in the second half of 2011 and beyond will thus depend on whether consumers' and investors' confidence in solid state finances can be won back or retained.
Despite the anticipated slowdown of the economy, majority opinion expects a stable situation in the labor market. Demand for labor still remains high. Private consumer spending should thus make an increased contribution to growth. The number of employed would thus increase further and the seasonally adjusted unemployment figure would continue to fall. More pessimistic voices consider an unemployment rate around the 7 % mark likely in 2012.
There are currently no recognisable risks which threaten the existence of the Amadeus FiRe Group. For more details, please refer to the Risk Report section of the 2010 Annual Report.
At 63 days, the fourth quarter will have two days less than the comparable prior year quarter. Due to the calendar, the fourth quarter will have three chargeable days less than the reporting quarter. The lower number of chargeable days will lead to lower revenue and lower results in the fourth quarter compared to the reporting quarter.
Despite the described general economic and industry specific outlook the Amadeus FiRe Group's business prospects for the rest of the fiscal year still remain positive. Business in the temporary staffing sector has developed satisfactorily in the year to date as well as at the beginning of the fourth quarter. In an increasingly tight labor market, it is becoming more and more difficult to hire qualified staff. However, given the actual economic development in Germany management still expects a positive development of orders in the further course of the year.
We expect demand for permanent placement and interim/project management to remain steady over the year. As part of the restructuring of permanent placement services within the Amadeus FiRe Group, "Greenwell Gleeson GmbH" was renamed to "Amadeus FiRe Personalvermittlung & Interim Management GmbH" on 1 September of the reporting year. The permanent placement and interim management business is thereby being further developed within the framework of a one brand strategy.
As in the previous year, for event-related reasons the training division is expected to deliver a higher earnings contribution in the remaining quarter than in previous quarters.
On the basis of the current order situation and under constant economic general conditions, the Management Board of the Amadeus FiRe Group anticipates the operating result for fiscal year 2011 to exceed that of the previous year despite the planned investments in personnel in the existing branch network.
We confirm that, to the best of our knowledge, and in accordance with the applicable reporting principles for interim financial reporting, the interim consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of the Group, and the interim management report includes a fair review of the development and performance of the business and the position of the Group, together with a description of the material opportunities and risks associated with the expected development of the group for the remaining months of the financial year.
