In the same period, the consolidated gross profit was up 5.3 percent, from EUR 116.9 million to EUR 123.1 million. Consolidated EBITDA in the first nine months of 2012 rose by 16.8 percent from EUR 17.3 million up to EUR 20.2 million. This is equivalent to an EBITDA margin of 5.0 percent after 4.5 percent in 2011. Consolidated EBIT from January to September 2012 also grew up 22.6 percent year-on-year to EUR 15.2 million as compared to EUR 12.4 million.
The Group revenue for the third quarter rose by 2.4 percent from EUR 135.5 million to EUR 138.7 million in Q3/2011.

The CANCOM Executive Board currently expects to maintain the course of ongoing growth in revenues and profits for the full year 2012 and to reach new record levels, due to the positive development in the first nine months and the good start in q4. This estimate is based on the Group's good positioning in the growth market of cloud computing and its focus on the higher-margin consulting and managed services business.
