"Ctac made a positive start to 2018. We recorded an 8.6% increase in operating result, while the net result came in 14.4% higher at EUR 0.5 million. As previously announced, in the first quarter of 2018 we invested in our IP products. The billable turnover related to these investments amounted to EUR 0.6 million, with EUR 0.4 million of this capitalised under intangible fixed assets. This reduced the improvement in the result by EUR 0.2 million. Ctac expects its IP product development to make a positive contribution to turnover in the third quarter of this year.
The Netherlands made a positive contribution to the improvement in results. The same goes for France, where the result improved but was still negative in the first quarter.
On the basis of our order book, the strengthening of our project management realised last year and the increased share of Cloud-related activities in our turnover, we reiterate our previously given forecast, to the effect that barring exceptional exogenous circumstances Ctac expects to record a higher result in 2018 than in 2017."
In the first quarter of 2018, Ctac N.V. (Ctac) recorded turnover of EUR 21.3 million (Q1 2017: EUR 20.7 million). This was an increase of 2.7% compared with the first quarter of 2017. Any comparison with the figures for the fourth quarter of 2017 should take into account regular seasonal patterns. Partly due to active cost management, the result ultimately rose by 14.4% to EUR 0.5 million.
Shareholders' equity increased to EUR 18.4 million as at 31 March 2018, from EUR 17.9 million as at 31 December 2017, due to the addition of the net result for the first quarter of 2018 (EUR 0.5 million). Due to regular seasonal patterns, solvency declined slightly to 41.3% as at 31 March 2018 (31 December 2017: 45.1%).
