Preface – Key figures
Dear Shareholders,
Despite the economic crisis, CANCOM has had a successful first quarter compared with the market as a whole.
The figures for the first quarter of 2009 reflect our acquisition policy, which continues to be part of our business strategy. The significant growth in sales revenue in comparison
with the first quarter of 2008 is attributable to the inclusion in the financial statements of the full figures for our subsidiaries CANCOM SYSDAT GmbH and Home of Hardware GmbH & Co. KG.
A glance at the profit trend shows that we have not been unaffected by the far-reaching economic crisis, although the figures are nevertheless satisfactory.
Back in the second half of 2008, when the first signs of the looming crisis became apparent, we identified areas with savings potential. We
then took steps which primarily included optimising the working capital, as well as reducing costs by insourcing certain activities, so that employee numbers were left largely unaffected. We then saw the necessity for further precautionary measures. Unfortunately, we have been unable to avoid introducing short-time working for some of the Group's employees. We see this as a means of proactively adjusting the Group's cost structures in line with the economic trend without losing expertise, and in the way that is most acceptable to employees in terms of social compatibility.
Key figures
in Euro million
The global economy has taken a dramatic downturn as a result of the worsening of the international financial crisis last autumn. The economic forecasts for Germany have repeatedly been revised downwards within a very short period. The Federal government now expects a six percent drop in economic activity in Germany, with no end to the crisis foreseeable in the near future. We therefore face further big challenges, which we
are tackling by means of rigorous cost management. On the other hand, consolidated markets offer us the opportunity to expand our customer list, by means of acquisitions among other things. Our restrictive dividend policy gives us the necessary strength in our balance sheet to achieve this.
As analysts' 'buy' recommendations continue to demonstrate, CANCOM is still an attractive prospect for investors.
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 financial and management role 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 systems into companies, in addition to selling hardware and software from reputable manufacturers. Its 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 small, medium and large-sized companies, to public-sector institutions. Through the e-commerce platform of Home of Hardware GmbH & Co. KG, which it acquired in 2008, the CANCOM Group provides products and services to private consumers as well as business customers.
Explanation of the control system used within the Group
To control and monitor the performance of the individual subsidiaries, once a month CANCOM analyses, among other things, their sales revenues, gross profit, operating expenditure and operating profit, and compares these key figures 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 business trend within the IT sector – as well as forecasts for these – for the purpose of management control. The cash management procedures include a daily status investigation.
Research and development activities
As the business activities of the CANCOM Group are restricted to hardware and software distribution and service provision, no other major research and development costs are incurred.
Overview of the CANCOM Group's business performance
The CANCOM Group's path of growth continued in the first three months of 2009. Consolidated sales revenues were significantly higher than in the first quarter of 2008, with consolidated EBITDA at the same high level as last year.
The Group's consolidated sales revenues rose 38.2 percent year on year in the first quarter of 2009, to € 102.0 million compared with € 73.8 million. Consolidated gross profit was up 25.0 percent, from € 22.8 million to € 28.5 million. The gross profit margin fell from 30.9 percent to 28.0 percent, owing to the acquisition of the e-tailer Home of Hardware.
At € 1.7 million, consolidated EBITDA are at the same level as in the first quarter of 2008. Consolidated EBIT amount to € 1.1 million.
Significant events and investments
There have been no significant events or investments during the current financial year.
Mitarbeiter
As at 31 March 2009, there were 1,682 people employed by the CANCOM Group.
The employees worked in the following areas (as at 31 March 2009):
| Total | 1,682 |
|---|---|
| Sales | 285 |
| Purchasing | 41 |
| Professional services | 1,093 |
| Marketing and product management | 27 |
| Logistics and customer services | 88 |
| Administration | 148 |
The significant growth can be attributed to the inclusion in the consolidated accounts of the full figures for the new subsidiaries CANCOM SYSDAT GmbH and Home of Hardware GmbH & Co. KG.
The consolidated sales revenues of the CANCOM Group in the first quarter of 2009 were up 38.2 percent year on year, at € 102.0 million compared with € 73.8 million.
Note: owing to the provisions of IFRS 5, some adjustments to the previous year's figures were necessary for areas that in 2008 were classified as discontinued operations.
Sales revenues of the CANCOM Group: year-on-year comparison of first quarter figures, 2008 and 2009 (in € million)
In Germany, sales revenues for the first three months of 2009 were up 44.1 percent year on year, at € 96.9 million. This is partly owing to the acquisition of CANCOM SYSDAT GmbH and Home of Hardware GmbH & Co. KG.
In the international business, consolidated sales revenues fell by 24.2 percent year on year, from € 6.6 million to € 5.1 million.
In the business solutions segment, sales revenues were up 22 percent from € 43.7 million to € 53.3 million. In the IT solutions segment they rose 62.0 percent, from € 30.0 million to € 48.6 million.
The consolidated gross profit for the first three months of 2009 was up 25.0 percent year on year, from € 22.8 million to € 28.5 million. The gross profit margin fell from 30.9 percent to 28.0 percent, owing to the acquisitions made in 2008. The high-margin services business of CANCOM SYSDAT GmbH contributed to the strong increase in the gross profit, but the gross profit margin is reduced slightly by the addition of the trading business of the e-tailer Home of Hardware GmbH & Co. KG.
The personnel expenses in the first three months were as follows (in € '000):
| 1 Jan. to 31 Mar. 2009 1 Jan. to 31 Mar. 2008 | ||
|---|---|---|
| Wages and salaries | 17,483 | 14,072 |
| Social security contributions | 3,241 | 2.519 |
| of which pension provisions | 41 | 38 |
| Total | 20,724 | 16,591 |
2. Earnings, financial and assets situation of the CANCOM Group
a) Earnings situation
The CANCOM Group's sales revenues rose considerably in the first three months of 2009.
Gross profit of the CANCOM Group: year-on-year comparison of first quarter figures, 2008 and 2009 (in € million)
At € 1.7 million, consolidated EBITDA for the first quarter of 2009 are unchanged from the first quarter of 2008.
EBITDA of the CANCOM Group: year-on-year comparison
Consolidated EBIT for the first quarter were down slightly year on year, from € 1.3 million to € 1.1 million.
EBIT of the CANCOM Group: year-on-year comparison of first quarter figures, 2008 and 2009 (in € million)
The net income for the first three months of 2009 was € 0.5 million, compared with € 0.9 million in the first quarter of 2008. Earnings per share from continuing operations are consequently € 0.05 for the first three months of 2009, compared with € 0.07 for the first quarter 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.
In the IT solutions segment, orders are often given over long periods. At present the volume of orders is slightly declining.
Because of the stable 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 financial management of the CANCOM Group 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 13.3 percent fall in current assets to € 72.2 million between 31 December 2008 and 31 March 2009. Trade accounts receivable went down by 11.8 percent to € 39.0 million. The Group's cash fell from € 18.3 million to € 9.7 million owing to seasonal effects. Non-current assets remain unchanged from 31 December 2008, at € 37.3 million.
On the liabilities side of the balance sheet, there was a fall of 18.1 percent in current liabilities to € 49.8 million. This is mainly owing to the reduction in trade accounts payable from € 39.3 million to € 31.7 million.
At € 20.3 million, non-current liabilities with a remaining term of at least one year were 2.9 percent lower than at 31 December 2008.
The balance sheet total fell to € 109.5 million, compared with € 120.7 million at 31 December 2008.
The nominal equity capital was increased from € 38.9 million to € 39.4 million over the first three months of 2009, mainly through transfers to net profits. Overall, therefore, the equity ratio as at 31 March 2009 was 36.0 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 31 March 2009 there was a negative cash flow of € 8.6 million. This is mainly owing to a reduction in trade accounts payable as well as a change in inventories.
The cash flow from investing activities fell from € 2.2 million as at 31 March 2008 to a negative cash flow of € 0.3 million as at 31 March 2009.
The cash flow from financing activities rose to € 0.7 million, compared with € 0.0 million in 2008.
Overall, this results in cash of € 10.0 million (of which € 0.4 million is cash from discontinued operations), compared with € 8.5 million at the same date in 2008.

6. Opportunities report
There have been no major changes in the opportunities of future development at CANCOM since the beginning of the current financial year. Details of the opportunities can be found in the annual report for 2008, starting on page 41.
7. Forecast
The global financial crisis worsened gradually during 2008. In Germany, although GDP rose by 1.0 percent overall during the year (Source: LBBW BörsenMonitor, 16 April 2009), it fell by 2.1 percent during the fourth quarter of the year (Source: German Federal Statistics Office, 28 April 2009).
Most economic research institutes agree that the downturn accelerated in the first quarter of the current year. Forecasts for negative economic growth in 2009 range between 1.8 percent (worldwide) to 6.0 percent (Germany) (Source: German Federal Government estimate, 29 April 2009). The economy is only expected to pick up from the year 2010, following the economic recovery programmes currently being pursued.
The latest forecasts of the German Association of the Information Industry, Telecommunications and New Media (BITKOM), which were updated in December 2008 to take into account the effects of the financial crisis, suggest that given the current economic crisis the western European IT market should grow by approximately 1.5 percent in 2009, compared with 3.7 percent in 2008. The hardware segment is expected to shrink by 2.4 percent (2008: 0 percent), the software segment to grow by 2.0 percent (2008: 4.2 percent), and the IT services segment to grow by 3.7 percent (2008: 5.7 percent).
5. Risk report
There have been no major changes in the risks of future development at CANCOM since the start of the current financial year. Details of the risks can be found in the annual report for 2008, starting on page 36. The annual report can be downloaded from www.cancom.de, or obtained free of charge from the Company.
4. Events of particular significance after the reporting date
There were no events of particular significance after the reporting date.
Performance of the German IT sector in 2009*
(real change in comparison with 2008, as a percentage)
as a whole
BITKOM expects the economic situation to have less of an impact on the IT sector owing to the steady demand from the public sector. State investment projects are less dependent on economic fluctuations, and state economic recovery programmes have been drawn up.
BITKOM also identifies future IT trends in which there is growth potential even in times of crisis. The economic crisis is giving rise to increased cost pressure among users, resulting in a market for cost-saving IT solutions in 2009. IT solutions and trends such as outsourcing, virtualisation and consolidation, as well as green IT, offer effective instruments for reducing IT costs and, according to BITKOM, they can have a positive impact on this trend.
CANCOM geared its business policy to the IT trends of the future, 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 expanded its market presence as well as improving its customer proximity in the German-speaking countries, and is represented all over Germany and Austria by its many service and consulting locations.
In the business solutions segment, the sales structures are to be 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 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, a downturn in profits, but a continued positive financial situation.
The Executive Board wishes to point out that the actual results may deviate substantially from expectations. Forecasting is made significantly more difficult in view of the uncertain economic conditions.
Jettingen-Scheppach, Germany, May 2009 CANCOM IT Systeme Aktiengesellschaft
The Executive Board
This document 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 assumptions may be subject to several internal and external risks and uncertainties, which may lead to the actual results deviating considerably, either positively or negatively, from the situations and figures forecast. 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.

This comprises issued capital, retained earnings, other reserves, currency translation differences and minority interests.
The goals of the capital management are to ensure that the Group will be able to continue as a going concern and an adequate interest rate for the equity. For implementation the group balances its capital and the overall capital structure.
The capital is monitored on the basis of the economic equity. The economic equity is the balance sheet equity. The borrowed capital is defined as current and non-current financial liabilities, provisions, liabilities connected with disposals, prepaid expenses and deferred charges, and other liabilities.
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.
The accounting methods used for internal segment reporting are in line with the accounting policies described in Section A. 3. The only differences arise from the translation of foreign currency and these result in slight deviations between the data for internal reporting and the relevant disclosures for the external presentations of financial statements.
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 2008 includes the following companies in Germany: CANCOM Deutschland GmbH, CANCOM IT Solutions GmbH, CANCOM NSG GmbH, CANCOM SYSDAT GmbH, SYSNET Computer-Systemvertriebsgesellschaft mbH, Home of Hardware GmbH & Co. KG, Home of Hardware Verwaltungs GmbH, CANCOM physical infratructure GmbH, Novodrom People Value Service GmbH, acentrix GmbH, CANCOM EN GmbH, CANCOM Financial Services GmbH and CANCOM IT Systeme Aktiengesellschaft.
The Europe segment includes CANCOM Computersysteme GmbH, a + d IT solutions GmbH, CANCOM Ltd., CANCOM (Switzerland) AG and Softmail IT AG (up to 30 June 2008).
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.
