In the period from January to March 2014, the secunet Group achieved revenue of Euro 13.8 million. This corresponds to a decline of Euro 0.3 million or 3% compared with the previous year (Euro 14.1 million). Revenue decreased to the same extent in the Public Sector and Business Sector business units. This development was the result of weaker performance in the product and consulting business, mainly due to the provisional budget management of the German federal authorities.
The earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of the secunet Group for the first three months of the 2014 financial year totalled Euro -1.3 million. The previous year's figure was Euro -0.2 million, meaning that EBIT fell by Euro 1.1 million.
With regard to the individual expense items the following developments occurred:
Due to higher material costs, the cost of sales rose by 3% from Euro 11.5 million to Euro 11.9 million.
Selling expenses went up by 16% from Euro 2.0 million in the first quarter of 2013 to Euro 2.3 million. This is mainly attributable to increased personnel expenditure, travel expenses and material costs as a result of investment in product management and sales.
The general administration costs remained constant at Euro 0.8 million.
Overall, costs rose by 5% or Euro 0.7 million from Euro 14.3 million in the period from January to March 2013 to Euro 15.0 million in the same period of the current year. The simultaneous drop in revenue of Euro 0.4 million results in the Euro 1.1 million decrease in EBIT.
The financial result for January to March 2014 was Euro -23 thousand, thus remaining relatively unchanged from the value of Euro -20 thousand seen in the first quarter of 2013. Earnings before taxes (EBT) therefore fell from Euro -0.2 million in the first quarter of 2013 to Euro -1.3 million in the first quarter of the current year.
In the first quarter of 2013, tax income of Euro 54 thousand was achieved. In the same period of 2014 this value increased to Euro 399 thousand due to the higher negative result before taxes for which deferred tax assets were formed.
The result after taxes for the period from January to March 2014 was a loss of Euro -0.9 million compared with Euro -0.1 million in the previous year. Earnings per share for the first quarter of 2014 amounted to Euro -0.14 compared with Euro -0.02 in the previous year.
secunet Security Networks AG is divided into two business units according to target group.
The Public Sector business unit serves customers in the public sector. In Germany these are authorities and other public clients, and abroad international organisations and respective national public clients. The product portfolio in the Public Sector includes the high security solutions based on the SINA product range, as well as IT security solutions and consulting for eGovernment, authorities and international organisations. The portfolio also includes biometric identification systems for ID and Border Control, among other purposes. In the Public Sector business unit, revenue for the months from January to March decreased by 3% from Euro 10.5 million in 2013 to Euro 10.2 million in the current year. The earnings before
interest and taxes (EBIT) in the business unit were Euro -1.1 million compared with Euro +0.2 million in the first quarter of the previous year. With a contribution of 75% (previous year 74%) to Group revenue, the Public Sector business unit and the public clients target group account for the largest proportion of secunet business.
25% of Group revenue in the first quarter of 2014 (previous year 26%) was generated in the Business Sector business unit. This business unit addresses IT security issues affecting the private sector with services including IT security consulting and solutions for companies in the private sector. It specialises in solutions for the automotive industry and for providers in the field of critical infrastructures (including suppliers). In the first quarter of 2014, the Business Sector business unit achieved revenue of Euro 3.5 million, which is a decrease of 3% compared with the previous year (Euro 3.6 million). The segment's EBIT for the period from January to March 2014 was Euro -0.2 million compared with Euro -0.4 million in the previous year.
The following items on the balance sheet show a significant change compared with the figure as at 31 December 2013:
secunet has not taken out any loans and has an unchanged debt/equity ratio of 0%.
At Euro -7.5 million, cash flow from operating activities is below the previous year's figure of Euro -5.2 million. The increase of Euro 2.3 million in cash outflow is attributable to the lower Group earnings before taxes for the period (effect: Euro -1.1 million), reduced utilisation of provisions (effect: Euro +1.1 million), lower build-up of receivables (effect: Euro -1.1 million), greater reduction of liabilities (effect: Euro -1.0 million) and higher outflows of liquidity for tax prepayments (effect: Euro -0.3 million).
Funds amounting to Euro 0.3 million were spent on investment activities in the first quarter of 2014, compared with Euro 0.4 million in the same period of the previous year.
This results in a total decrease in cash and cash equivalents of Euro 7.8 million after three months of the 2014 financial year. Liquid funds as at 31 March 2014 were therefore Euro 21.5 million.
In the first three months of 2014, secunet invested a total of Euro 0.3 million, following investment of Euro 0.4 million in the previous year period. secunet's capital expenditure was mainly for the purchase and replacement of hardware, software and other business equipment.
As at 31 March 2014, the number of secunet Group employees totalled 346, which is 36 individuals or 12% more than on the same reporting date of the previous year. The appointments were made primarily in the areas of consulting, development and sales.
As at 31 March 2014, the order book according to IFRS of secunet Group totalled Euro 35.6 million. This corresponds to the figure for the same reporting date in the previous year. The present provisional budget management of the German federal authorities is having a dampening effect on the order book in the current year.
Compared with the preparation phase of the 2013 Annual Financial Statements (March 2014), the estimates of the Management Board with regard to business development in 2014 are unchanged. Its view of opportunities and risks for secunet Security Networks AG also remains the same. No risks that threaten the continued existence of the Company have currently been identified.
Owing to the provisional budget management, some procurement plans were delayed in getting underway. The Management Board expects this to be reflected in a resultant upturn in incoming orders in the second half of the year. The Management Board is therefore maintaining its forecast for the 2014 financial year. A significant increase in both revenue and earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) is anticipated: the business results should even exceed those of the strong year 2012.
This 3-Month Report contains statements regarding the future performance of secunet Security Networks AG and economic and political developments. These statements are opinions that we have formed based on the information currently available to us. Should the assumptions on which these statements are based not be applicable or should further risks arise, the actual results may deviate from the results currently expected. We cannot therefore offer any guarantee as to the accuracy of these statements.

secunet Security Networks' 3-Month Report for the period ending 31 March 2014 was compiled in accordance with the International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 "Interim Financial Reporting". This 3-Month Report is condensed. It is to be read in conjunction with the IFRS consolidated financial statements dated 31 December 2013 (Consolidated Financial Statements). This 3-Month Report was approved by the Management Board of secunet Security Networks AG on 6 May 2014.
From 1 January 2014, the provisions of IFRS 10, 11 and 12 are to be applied to consolidation. In this respect, the consolidation principles have changed from those used for the Consolidated Annual Financial Statements for the 2013 financial year. This application has not had any effect on the interim financial statements.
The currency translation, accounting and measurement methods correspond to those used for the Consolidated Annual Financial Statements for the 2013 financial year. The Consolidated Financial Statements of secunet Security Networks AG as at 31 December 2013 were produced on the basis of Articles 315 and 115a of the German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch, HGB) and in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as they are to be applied in the European Union.
The figures shown in the consolidated balance sheet, consolidated income statement, consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated cash flow statement and consolidated statement of changes in equity correspond to the normal course of business at secunet and do not include any extraordinary items.
A tax rate of 32.28% applies to the calculation of income taxes for national companies. Calculation of tax payable on income for foreign companies is based on the relevant rates of tax for those countries.
The preparation of the 3-Month Report requires a series of assumptions and estimates on the part of the management. As a result, it may be that the figures reported in the interim report will deviate from the actual figures.
In addition to secunet Security Networks AG, the Consolidated Financial Statements include all associate companies that are controlled by secunet AG. Control is considered to exist if secunet has the authority to dispose of the associate company, has a right to variable returns from the participation and has the opportunity to use the authority to dispose of the associate company in a way that can influence the variable returns.
Compared with 31 December 2013, the consolidated Group was unchanged as at 31 March 2014. The two consolidated subsidiaries secunet s.r.o., Prague, Czech Republic, and secunet SwissIT AG, Solothurn, Switzerland, are in liquidation.
As at 31 March 2014 the Company held 30,498 treasury shares, the same figure as at 31 December 2013; this equates to 0.5% of its share capital.
The secunet Group is split into two business units, the Public Sector and the Business Sector. Both business units are shown separately for the purposes of segment reporting, as they meet at least one of the quantitative thresholds defined in IFRS 8.13.
The Public Sector business unit addresses the highly complex security requirements of authorities, the military and international organisations. It focuses on High Security solutions and products based on the Secure Inter-Network Architecture, SINA, developed in conjunction with the German Federal Office for Information Security (Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik, BSI). The Public Sector also supports authorities in Germany and abroad in all areas relating to eGovernment and IT security. These include, among other things, biometric solutions and electronic ID (eID) documents, the electronic health system (eHealth), security awareness and secure web solutions. This business unit also operates a BSI-certified evaluation laboratory for IT conformity.
In the Business Sector business unit the focus is on security issues affecting companies in the private sector. Its product line includes public key infrastructures, mobile security and network security. In all areas, analyses, consulting and complete solutions are tailored to each customer's specific requirements. In addition, solutions to the specific IT security issues affecting the automotive industry and for providers in the field of critical infrastructures are also supplied here.

The transfer prices are essentially in line with the prices for third-party transactions.
The accounting principles for the segments are identical to those used for the Consolidated Financial Statements. Using apportionments, expenses (e.g. overhead costs) that are not directly allocable to the reportable segments are allocated to the reportable segments. The segments are managed on the basis of the segment result.
With the exception of non-essential components, the segments' assets are focused on the domestic market. There were no significant changes to the segment assets as at the reporting date.
The consolidated companies within the secunet Group have an association with their main shareholder, Giesecke & Devrient GmbH, Munich and its affiliated companies, in the course of their normal business activities. In addition, the main shareholder is granted short-term loans. All transactions are conducted in accordance with normal market practice.
In the first three months of 2014, no Management Board members were promised or granted any benefits by a third party in respect of their activity as members of the Management Board. In the first three months of 2014, the members of the Supervisory Board did not receive any other remuneration (over and above the Supervisory Board remuneration as regulated in the Articles of Association of secunet Security Networks) or benefits for services provided personally, in particular consulting and agency services. Neither the members of the Management Board nor the members of the Supervisory Board received any loans from the Company.
There were no significant events after the reporting date.
