"Ctac started 2017 reasonably well. The operating result was up by 3.5%. The net result rose by 5.9% to EUR 0.5 million. The drop in turnover was due to a number of factors, including caution in the market. We expect the postponed projects to be realised in the course of 2017.
The project losses recorded by Ctac France have now ceased completely as a result of the termination of the major project in the fourth quarter of 2016. This organisation's switch to secondment and licencing activities did not yet result in a profit in the first quarter of 2017.
On the basis of the order portfolio, the bolstering of the project management realised last year and the continued increase in the share of turnover accounted for by our Cloud activities, we reiterate our previous forecast to the effect that barring extraordinary exogenous circumstances, we expect our result in 2017 to be considerably higher than in 2016."
In the first quarter of 2017, Ctac N.V. (Ctac) recorded turnover of € 20.7 million (Q1 2016: € 21.2 million). This was a decline of 2.1% compared with the first quarter of 2016. Any comparison with the results recorded in the fourth quarter of 2016 should take into account the regular seasonal pattern.
Shareholders' equity increased to € 15.9 million as per 31 March 2017 from € 15.4 million as per 31 December 2016, due to the addition of the net result for the first quarter of 2017 (€ 0.5 million). The regular seasonal pattern resulted in a slight decline in solvency as per 31 March 2017, to 37.6% (31 December 2016: 38.8%).
