Preface – Key figures
Dear Shareholders,
it is clear from the sharp decline in profits and the insolvencies among IT systems providers in the past few weeks and months that the German market landscape for integrated systems providers is changing. It is therefore all the more gratifying that this 9-month report bears out CANCOM's continued stability. The sales revenues and net profit for the third quarter exceeded not only the figures for 2008, but also the previous best third-quarter figures, in 2007.
The first signs of an upturn in demand since the beginning of the economic crisis emerged in the third quarter, or more precisely since September. On the cost side, the integration of CANCOM SYSDAT and Home of Hardware, which were acquired during 2008, has progressed and will largely be completed in the fourth quarter. We have also won some interesting new customer projects during the year, which have resulted in our being able to drop short-time working for most of the Group's employees. In addition, new technical employees are being taken on for new projects, so there has been a further increase in the number of employees in the Group since June.
As regards the Group's performance during this financial year and in the current quarter, we are confident that we will be able to maintain our path of growth. Our business is broadbased, and the fourth quarter, which traditionally has strong sales revenues and profits, will contribute in particular to the upward trend in profits. In terms of its sales revenues and employee numbers, CANCOM is now the third largest systems provider in Germany. End-users and customers also trust us and our capabilities. In an exclusive study by the
renowned trade journals COMPUTERWOCHE and ChannelPartner, we were voted the best systems provider of 2009 by more than 1,700 survey participants, an award of which we are especially proud.
We hope that the confidence shown in us by consumers will be echoed by your continuing support for us.
Kind regards
Klaus Weinmann, CEO

1. CANCOM's business and the general economic situation
Organisational and legal structure of the CANCOM Group
CANCOM IT Systeme Aktiengesellschaft, based in Jettingen-Scheppach, Germany, performs the central financing and management function for the equity investments held by the CANCOM Group.
Focus of activities and sales markets
One of the largest integrated systems providers in Germany, the CANCOM Group has been transformed over the last few years from a systems house focusing primarily on hardware and software, into an IT systems integrator. As an integrated service provider, its central focus is now on providing IT services and integrating IT systems into companies in addition to selling leading manufacturers' hardware and software. The IT services offering includes design and integration of IT systems as well as system operation.
The CANCOM Group's customer base therefore primarily includes commercial end-users, from independent professionals and medium and large-sized companies to public-sector institutions. Through the e-commerce platform of Home of Hardware GmbH, which the CANCOM Group acquired in 2008, it provides products and services to private consumers as well as B2B customers.
Explanation of the control system used within the Group
To control and monitor the performance of the individual subsidiaries, CANCOM analyses monthly key figures such as their sales revenues, gross profit, operating expenditure and operating profit, and compares these with the original plan as well as the quarterly forecast. Additionally, the Company regularly uses external indicators such as inflation rates, interest rates, the general economic trend and the performance of the IT sector – as well as forecasts for these – for the purpose of management control. The cash management procedures include a daily status assessment.
Research and development activities
The business activities of the CANCOM Group are focused on hardware and software distribution and the provision of professional IT services. Research and development expenses are incurred in the growth areas of virtualisation solutions, managed services, online technologies, system development and process optimisation.
Overview of the CANCOM Group's business performance
The CANCOM Group's path of growth continued in the first nine months of 2009, with consolidated sales revenues significantly higher than in the first nine months of 2008.
Consolidated sales revenues in the first nine months of 2009 were up 21.1 percent year on year, from € 242.3 million to € 293.5 million. Consolidated gross profit rose by 12.9 percent, from € 73.8 million to € 83.3 million. The gross profit margin fell from 30.5 percent to 28.4 percent, owing to the acquisition of the E-tailer Home of Hardware in 2008.
Consolidated EBITDA for the first nine months of 2009 amounted to € 5.0 million, and consolidated EBIT earnings were € 3.0 million.
2. The CANCOM Group's earnings, financial and assets situation
a) Earnings
The CANCOM Group's sales revenues rose significantly in the first nine months of 2009.
The considerable growth is mainly attributable to the inclusion in the consolidated accounts of the full figures for the new subsidiaries, CANCOM SYSDAT GmbH and HOH Home of Hardware GmbH.
The consolidated sales revenues of the CANCOM Group in the first nine months of 2009 were up 21.1 percent year on year, from € 242.3 million to € 293.5 million.
Note: Some adjustments to the previous year's figures were necessary in line with the provisions of IFRS 5 for areas that in 2008 were classified as discontinued operations.
Significant events and investments
CANCOM IT Systeme Aktiengesellschaft has taken over the remaining 24.5 percent of the shares in Home of Hardware GmbH & Co. KG via its subsidiary. The acquisition is documented in a contract of sale dated 5 August 2009. Following the acquisition of the remaining interest in the company, it was merged into HOH Home of Hardware GmbH.
Employees
As at 30 September 2009, the CANCOM Group employed 1,742 people.
The employees worked in the following areas (as at 30 September 2009):
| Administration | 156 |
|---|---|
| Logistic and Customer Service | 83 |
| Marketing and product management | 28 |
| Professional services | 1,127 |
| Purchasing | 40 |
| Sales | 308 |
| Total | 1,742 |
Personnel expenses in the first nine months were as follows (in € '000):
| 1 Jan. to 30 Sep. 2009 1 Jan. to 30 Sep. 2008 | ||
|---|---|---|
| Wages and salaries | 50,563 | 42,981 |
| Social security contributions | 9,460 | 7,931 |
| of which pension provisions | 125 | 122 |
| Total | 60,023 | 50,912 |
CANCOM Group's sales revenues: year-on-year comparison of nine-month figures, 2008 and 2009 (in € million)
In Germany, sales revenues for the first nine months of 2009 were up 23.3 percent year on year, at € 278.2 million. This growth is partly owing to the acquisition of CANCOM Sysdat GmbH and HOH Home of Hardware GmbH.
In the international business, consolidated sales revenues were down by 9.8 percent, from 16.8 million to € 15.3 million.
In the business solutions segment, sales revenues were up 13.3 percent, from € 128.1 million to € 145.2 million. In the IT solutions segment they rose by 29.9 percent, from € 114.2 million to € 148.3 million.
The consolidated gross profit for the first nine months of 2009 was up 12.9 percent year on year, from € 73.8 million to € 83.3 million. The gross profit margin fell from 30.5 percent to 28.4 percent, owing to the addition of the trading business of the E-tailer Home of Hardware GmbH & Co. KG in 2008.
CANCOM Group's gross profit: year-on-year comparison of nine-month figures, 2008 and 2009 (in € million)
Consolidated EBITDA for the first nine months of 2009 was down year on year from € 5.9 million to € 5.0 million. The profit trend in the first nine months of the year reflects the depressed economic situation and its impact on nearly all sectors. Cost reduction measures, as well as greater concentration on managed services, have had a positive effect on consolidated earnings. Profits were reduced by one-off restructuring expenses for the subsidiaries CANCOM Sysdat GmbH and HOH Home of Hardware GmbH.
CANCOM Group's EBITDA: year-on-year comparison of nine-month figures, 2008 and 2009 (in € million)
Consolidated EBIT for the first nine months was down year on year, from € 4.3 million to € 3.0 million.
CANCOM Group's EBIT: year-on-year comparison of nine-month figures, 2008 and 2009 (in € million)
The net income for the first nine months of 2009 was € 1.8 million, compared with € 2.0 million in the same period of 2008. As a result, earnings per share from continuing operations are € 0.18 for the first nine months of 2009, compared with € 0.24 for the first nine months of 2008.
The order position
In the business solutions segment and parts of the IT solutions segment, the majority of incoming orders are converted to sales within two weeks because of our large delivery capacity. Consequently, the reporting date figures on their own do not give a true picture of our order situation in this area of business, which is why they are not published.
Because of the almost complete stability of our services business – which now accounts for about two thirds of the gross profits (total output less material costs and services rendered) – as well as the healthy condition of the balance sheet, the management feels the Group is in a strong position within the IT sector.
b) Asset and financial position
Objectives of financial management
The core objective of the CANCOM Group's financial management is to safeguard its liquidity at all times, to ensure that day-to-day business activities can be continued. In addition, the Group aims to achieve optimum profitability as well as a high credit status to ensure favourable refinancing rates.
Notes on the capital structure
On the assets side of the consolidated balance sheet, there was a 15.7 percent fall in current assets to € 70.2 million between 31 December 2008 and 30 September 2009. Trade accounts receivable fell by 6.1 percent to € 41.5 million. Cash and cash equivalents fell to € 7.3 million between 31 December 2008 and 30 September 2009 owing to seasonal effects, but were up year on year from € 5.6 million. There was a slight increase in non-current assets to € 38.2 million, i.e. a 2.1 percent rise on the figure reported as at 31 December 2008.
On the liabilities side of the balance sheet, there was a 23.6 percent fall in current liabilities to € 46.5 million. This is mainly owing to the reduction in trade accounts payable from € 39.3 million to € 30.5 million.
Short-term loans and the current component of long-term loans fell from € 1.8 million to € 0.7 million.
Non-current liabilities with a remaining term of at least one year were 1.0 percent higher than at 31 December 2008, at € 21.1 million. A loan of € 3.0 million was accessed in connection with the ERP Innovation Programme of KfW, Germany's publicly-owned development bank, which sponsors the research and development activities of CANCOM and its subsidiaries in the various IT trend areas. The funds are 50 percent subordinated, so the CANCOM Group's financing structure has shifted strongly in favour of long-term financing. The subordinated loan, along with the retention of earnings, strengthens the CANCOM Group's subordinated capital.
The balance sheet total fell to € 108.4 million, compared with € 120.7 million at 31 December 2008.
The nominal equity capital was increased from € 38.9 million to € 40.8 million over the first nine months of 2009, mainly through transfers to net profits. Overall, therefore, the equity ratio as at 30 September 2009 was 37.6 percent, compared with 32.2 percent as at 31 December 2008.
Notes on the changes in the cash flow
The cash flow from ordinary activities is traditionally negative during the year, and as at 30 September 2009 there was a negative cash flow of € 7.8 million. This is mainly owing to a reduction in trade accounts payable as well as a change in inventories.
The negative cash flow from investing activities improved from € 4.5 million as at 30 September 2008 to € 2.7 million as at 30 September 2009.
The cash flow from financing activities decreased to € 0.1 million, compared with a cash flow of € 3.2 million in 2008. This is owing to a long-term ERP Innovation Programme loan of € 3.0 million, as well as the repayment of a short-term loan of € 1.5 million.
Net cash as at 30 September 2009 was higher overall than at the same date in 2008, at € 7.7 million compared with € 5.6 million. Of this figure, € 0.4 million is cash from discontinued operations.

6. Opportunities report

7. Forecast
The economic recovery in Germany is continuing to gain ground. After the stabilisation in the performance of the economy as a whole in the second quarter, figures for the third quarter should show more obvious gains. In its autumn projection, the German Federal Government raised its forecast for the real GDP growth rate in 2009 from minus 6.0 percent to minus 5.0 percent, and in 2010 from 0.5 percent to 1.2 percent (source: German Ministry for Economics and Technology, 19 October 2009).
In October, the German Association for Information Technology, Telecommunications and New Media (BITKOM) confirmed its forecast for 2009 published in June. BITKOM estimates that, given the current economic crisis, IT sales will probably fall by approximately 2.2 percent in 2009, following growth of about 3.4 percent in 2008. The hardware segment is expected to shrink by 7.0 percent (2008: 0 percent) and the software segment by 2.2 percent (2008: growth of 3.7 percent). The IT services segment is expected to grow slightly by 0.7 percent (2008: 5.7 percent).
Performance of the German IT sector in 2009*
(real change in comparison with 2008, as a percentage)
BITKOM identifies future IT trends in which there is growth potential even in times of crisis.
CANCOM geared its business policy to the IT trends of the future at an early stage, and its sales and services structure is designed accordingly. Because of the promising prospects, the Group plans to continue pursuing the same policy in the future.
CANCOM has significantly expanded its market presence as well as improving its customer proximity in the German-speaking area, and is represented all over Germany and Austria by its many service and consulting locations.
In the business solutions segment, the sales structures are being optimised further, for instance by expanding key account management. Key account management improves customer proximity and helps achieve an integrated approach to customers, especially in identifying their services requirements. This structure facilitates the efficient and fast identification of potential IT projects.
The tried and tested concept of specialist sales and marketing departments works by bundling specific expertise in dedicated units, while allowing the sales department quick access to information on the situations of individual customers. This concept is being further expanded to ensure optimal dovetailing of the trading and service/consulting areas.
Additionally, the CANCOM Group's market position in the German IT environment is to be consolidated by means of targeted acquisitions. The market environment continues to offer favourable conditions for this policy, since several small, mostly owner-managed integrated systems providers and IT service providers are looking for prospective buyers.
In consideration of the present conditions, for the financial years 2009 and 2010 the Executive Board expects further growth in sales revenues, and a continuation of the positive earnings and financial situation.
The Executive Board wishes to point out that the actual results may deviate substantially from expectations. Forecasting is made significantly more difficult by the uncertain economic conditions.

The Executive Board
This document has not been audited. It contains statements and information about the future that are based on the assumptions and estimates of the Executive Board of CANCOM IT Systeme Aktiengesellschaft. These statements are identifiable by words and phrases such as "plan", "intend", "will", "expect", "we feel" etc. and are based on current expectations, assumptions and assessments. Although we feel that these expectations are realistic, we cannot guarantee their correctness.

The following influencing factors are relevant in this respect: changes in the general economic and business situation; changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates; changes in the competitive situation, for instance by the emergence of new competitors, new products and services or new technologies; changes in the consumer habits of target customer groups etc.; and changes to the business strategy. CANCOM does not plan to update its forecasts beyond the legal requirements, nor does it make any commitment to do so.

C. Notes to the consolidated income statement
1. Segment reporting
The CANCOM Group discloses segmental information according to the rules of IAS 14.
The primary segment reporting format of the CANCOM Group is based on geographical segments, since the risks, the return on equity and the earnings potential of the Group are influenced mainly by whether the business is operational in Germany or in the rest of Europe.
The secondary segment reporting format of the CANCOM Group is based on the business segments: business solutions and IT solutions.
Internal sales are recorded on the basis of either their cost or their current market prices, depending on the type of service or product sold.
The CANCOM Group's primary segmental reporting for 2009 includes the following companies in Germany: CANCOM Deutschland GmbH, CANCOM IT Solutions GmbH, CAN-COM NSG GmbH, CANCOM SYSDAT GmbH, HOH Home of Hardware GmbH (formerly SYSNET Computer-Systemvertriebsgesellschaft mbH), CANCOM physical infratructure GmbH, Novodrom People Value Service GmbH, acentrix GmbH, CANCOM Service Center Süd GmbH (formerly CANCOM EN GmbH), NSG Datacenter Services GmbH, CANCOM Financial Services GmbH and CANCOM IT Systeme Aktiengesellschaft.
The Europe segment includes CANCOM Computersysteme GmbH, a + d IT solutions GmbH, CANCOM Ltd. and CANCOM (Switzerland) AG .
The performance pool method is used for internal transfer pricing for transactions between the segments.
The following table shows various disclosures in the consolidated financial statements according to region. All figures were calculated in the same way as the relevant consolidated data; the totals for the segmented data are therefore consistent with the consolidated figures.
