FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
At € 26,153 thousand, IVU's revenues for the first six months of 2017 were 15% higher than for the same period in 2016 (€ 22,771 thousand). At the same time, material costs increased to € 7,006 thousand (2016: € 5,437 thousand). Therefore, the gross profit, which reflects the value created by IVU, grows considerably by 10% to € 19,239 thousand (2016: € 17,494 thousand).
Personnel expenses have increased by 4% to € 15,064 thousand (2016: € 14.517 thousand) in line with personnel capacity. In doing so, IVU is strengthening primarily development.
The increase in other operating expenses by € 444 thousand to € 4,263 thousand (2016: € 3,819 thousand) is mainly due to investments to set up a new hosting infrastructure for internal IVU systems and due to royalties for software licences.
EBIT amounted to -€ 592 thousand in the first six months of the year, representing a significant improvement as against the previous year (2016: -€ 1,586 thousand). The negative result in the first half of the year is in line with IVU's usual seasonal business development.
Operating cash flow amounted to € 5,190 thousand in the first half of the year (2016: € 1,463 thousand). Cash and cash equivalents amounted to € 13,437 thousand as at 30 June 2017 (31 December 2016: € 8,614 thousand).
SIX-MONTH REPORT 2017 IMPORTANT PROJECTS
BERN. POSTBUS USES IVU SOFTWARE FOR PLANNING
For more than 100 years, the PostBus brand has ensured reliable and safe public transport in Switzerland, from the large agglomerations all the way to the remotest regions in the Alps. With a transport volume of more than 150 million passengers annually, PostBus Switzerland AG is the largest bus company in the country today. From now on, the various operating regions will be using the integrated modules of IVU.suite for planning and dispatching the roughly 3,000 drivers and 2,200 vehicles in a standardised way. The standard software from IVU is replacing an outdated piece of software at PostBus, which no longer satisfied modern-day requirements.
MAGDEBURG. NASA ORDERS SOFT-AND HARDWARE FOR E-TICKETING
Real-time data, connection management and e-ticketing for all of Saxony-Anhalt – NASA GmbH ("Nahverkehrsservice Sachsen-Anhalt") is working on this scenario of the future. The company ordered an integrated solution comprising a background system, on-board computers, and ticketing software for its state-wide system from IVU for multiple transport operators. NASA's order covers 570 sets of equipment for buses and trams, including the IVU.ticket.box on-board computer with the IVU.cockpit operating system and IVU.ticket ticketing software. In addition, IVU is equipping about 70 hand-held devices with software for mobile ticket sales. IVU.fare is being used as the background system.
MONTRÉAL. UITP GLOBAL PUBLIC TRANSPORT SUMMIT 2017
At the UITP Global Public Transport Summit 2017, that took place from 15 to 17 May 2017 in Montréal, Canada, IVU Traffic Technologies showcased the latest version
of IVU.rail. Its improved optimisation algorithms allow rail companies to deploy crew and rolling stock in a considerably more efficient and cost-effective way than before. The system now models the features of rail traffic in more detail. Numerous automation functions assist planners and dispatchers in the creation of optimal and requirements-oriented crew schedules, vehicle schedules and operating schedules. In addition, the IVU solution includes a remotely accessible employee portal to facilitate employee input and interaction with planners during the scheduling process.
BERLIN. IT FOR RAIL: RAILWAYS ARE CHANGING
The international management conference IT for Rail was held for the third time on 26 and 27 June 2017. Around 30 top managers from several European railway operators accepted the joint invitation from DB Regio and IVU Traffic Technologies to come to Berlin to discuss the digital transformation of railways, current challenges and future developments. Amongst others, Dr Frank Scholz, CIO of DB Regio, Danilo Gismondi, CIO of Trenitalia, and Oliver Bratton, European Operations Director at MTR, gave presentations. Martin Müller-Elschner, CEO of IVU, said "Digitalisation is the major issue of our time – the numerous lectures and high-level discussions showed that the right IT systems are crucial for overcoming the current challenges and using the opportunities of the digital transformation."
SIX-MONTH REPORT 2017 OUTLOOK
IVU ACQUIRES STI AG
As at 26 July 2017, IVU acquired Soft Tech Informatik AG (STI), a Swiss consulting firm. The company, which is based in Zurich, will trade under the name IVU Traffic Technologies Schweiz AG as a wholly owned subsidiary of the German-based company IVU Traffic Technologies AG. This will allow us to strengthen local sales, expand customer service and unlock new potential in the significant Swiss market.
OUTLOOK
Prospects for the 2017 fiscal year are still positive. As at 30 June 2017, the order backlog already accounted for over 90% of planned annual revenues for the current fiscal year. This is why we are increasing our forecasts and now expect to achieve revenues of over € 64 million, gross profit of roughly € 46 million and earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of around € 4 million in 2017.
