Outlook 2014

  • Reiteration of earlier stated expectation: Under the condition of extraordinary exogenous circumstances Ctac expects to realise a higher result in 2014 compared with 2013.

Henny Hilgerdenaar, CEO of Ctac:

"We have continued the upward trend in the third quarter of 2014. This resulted in a 10% increase of turnover and a 51% rise of net result over the first nine months of 2014. Gross margin increased by EUR 0.8 million from EUR 41.5 million to EUR 42.3 million over comparable periods. As operating expenses remained nearly equal, operating result increased by EUR 0.7 million. Eventually, net result increased from EUR 0.6 million to EUR 0.9 million.

I am pleased with the progress realised. Moreover, we see more than sufficient opportunities to further improve profitability. In this context, we are focusing on further strengthening our project management capabilities. In addition, we are also investing extra in programme and project management capacity."

Result third quarter 2014

The net result over the third quarter of 2014 amounted to EUR 0.4 million (third quarter 2013: EUR 0.3 million). The slight drop in margin, partly caused by a higher share of the secondment activities in this quarter (with EUR 0.4 million), was fully compensated by lower costs.

The number of employees (FTE's) as per end of September 2014 stood at 469 (30 June 2014: 475).

Balance sheet

As a result of an increase of shareholders' equity and a further improvement of the working capital, the solvency ratio (shareholders' equity/balance sheet total) increased to 26.3% as per end of September 2014. Shareholders' equity increased to EUR 9.8 million.

Cash flow

In the third quarter of 2014 net cash flow was EUR 0.5 million positive. Partly due to a regular season pattern net cash flow over the first nine months of 2014 was still EUR 0.8 million negative.
