FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
IVU made a good start to the 2017 financial year: Revenues rose by 19% to EUR 11,572 thousand yearon-year (2016: EUR 9,761 thousand) while gross profit improved by 21% to EUR 8,945 thousand year-on-year (2016: EUR 7,387 thousand). Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) amounted to EUR -679 thousand, a significant increase as against the previous year (EUR -1,812 thousand).
In terms of costs, staff costs increased by 3% to EUR 7,380 thousand in the period under review (2016: EUR 7,134 thousand). We are planning to further develop our capacity in the current financial year, especially in the area of sales and development, in order to further strengthen our market position. Other operating expenses climbed by EUR 255 thousand to EUR -1,979 thousand (2016: EUR -1,724 thousand). This increase was essentially due to royalties for software licences.
Negative earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of EUR -679 thousand (2016: EUR -1,812 thousand) in the first quarter is typical for IVU's seasonal business development.
The order backlog of around EUR 52 million (2016: EUR 47 million) increased substantially as against the previous year. As a result, it already accounts for 84% of planned annual revenues for the current financial year.
THREE-MONTHS REPORT 2017 IMPORTANT PROJECTS
FRANKFURT. DB REGIO OPTS FOR IVU.RAIL
Planning and dispatching vehicles and personnel in one system – this is what the largest German regional public transport supplier will be able to do in the future, thanks to IVU.rail. A corresponding framework contract has been signed by DB Regio and IVU. The contract envisages the uniform replacement of DB Regio's existing planning and dispatching systems with IVU.rail. In the future, all of DB Regio's transport networks will conduct their rail-related resource planning and dispatching through the integrated IVU system. DB Regio will particularly profit from the integrated production processes and the standardised data management by using the IVU software. The powerful optimisation tools of IVU.rail supports the best possible results and, when needed, can generate diverse variations for advanced planning and tenders.
LUXEMBOURG. THE START OF PLANNING WITH LUXTRAM
In 2017 there will be trams in Luxembourg City for the first time in over 50 years. IVU is involved from the very beginning. We are delivering our standard solution IVU.suite for the planning and dispatch of the new Luxembourg Tram's vehicles and personnel. We are already supporting preparations in order to ensure that operations start smoothly. The opening of the first section of the 16 kilometre long route is planned for the end of 2017. IVU's customers in Luxembourg include, among others, the Luxembourg public transport company AVL, the transport association, TICE, and the national railway company CFL.
BERLIN. IVU APP KEEPS IGA VISITORS INFORMED
This year's International Garden Show will draw crowds to Berlin with flowers, indoor and outdoor exhibitions and events. An app created by IVU on behalf of the state of Berlin helps visitors to find their way around the site and discover the various attractions. The application also meets the special requirements of people with visual and physical impairments. The official IGA app provides information on each exhibition and the plants on display by way of an audio guide. To make this possible, special Bluetooth beacons have been installed at around 150 locations. These let the app know exactly where the visitor is, so it can automatically play the audio text for the appropriate attraction. If visitors want to explore the park landscape on their own, they can use the app to navigate towards a specific point. The route is calculated entirely on IVU's servers.
IVU USER FORUM. PROMOTING DIGITALISATION
Digitalisation is moving the transport sector. Its effects were also the main topic at this year's User Forum of IVU. On 9 and 10 March 2017, representatives of transport operators from all over the world met in Berlin for the 29th time to discuss current trends. With more than 500 participants from 17 countries, the industry event organised by IVU set a new attendance record. This year, Dr Frank Scholz, CIO of DB Regio AG, took on the role of keynote speaker and welcomed the guests to the Estrel Convention Center in Berlin. The topics of the following presentations ranged from integrated resource planning, the possibilities for optimisation, and passenger information all the way to e-ticketing and modern check-in/be-out solutions.
THREE-MONTHS REPORT 2017 PERSONNEL, OUTLOOK
PERSONNEL
| 2017 | 2016 | Change | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Number of employees as at 31 March |
489 | 465 | +5% |
| Personnel capacity 1 January – 31 March (average) |
404 | 384 | +5% |
1 Equivalent number of full-time employees (FTE).
In the first quarter of 2017, we strengthened our team as planned. The personnel capacity has increased by 5% in comparison with the same period in the previous year to 404 FTE.
OUTLOOK
Prospects for the 2017 financial year are still positive and demand for the standard products from the IVU. suite remains strong. The good level of orders overall is an indicator of positive business development. Therefore, we still expect to achieve revenues of around EUR 62 million, gross profit of roughly EUR 45 million and earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of at least EUR 3 million in 2017.
RISKS
The risks are described on pages 35 and 36 of the Annual Report 2016. No new risks have arisen. Neither have there been any changes in risk management.
