United MailSolutions
Holding AG: Financial result 2008
- Turnover increase of 7.9 percent to 2.68 million euros
- Extraordinary expenses burden result
Düsseldorf, 30 April 2009: United MailSolutions
Holding AG (ISIN
DE000A0E96N3), listed in the regulated market of the stock exchange
Düsseldorf increased its turnover in the fiscal year 2008 by 196 thousand
euros or 7.9 percent to 2.68 million euros (previous year: 2.48 million
euros).
Despite the positive development of the turnover, the
EBIT slipped into
minus which was due to special costs. The earnings before interest, tax and
depreciation (
EBITDA) amounted to 153 thousand euros (previous year: 508
thousand euros). The earnings before interest and tax (
EBIT) was minus 20
thousand euros (previous year: 356 thousand euros). Reason for this
negative development of the earnings situation are special expenses due to
the increase in capital stock as well as a raise of personnel expenses of
around 50 percent. Personnel were extended in order to build up markets in
sales and support. Adjusted by these special expenses, the Group achieved a
double-digit EBITDA-margin and disposes of a solid financial structure.
For the period under report the company shows a net loss for the year of 57
thousand euros (previous year: net income for the year of 242 thousand
euros). Hence, the earnings per share amount to 0.04 euros (previous year:
0.23 euros).
As of 31 December 2008 the Groups liquid assets account for 520 thousand
euros (previous year: 1.715 thousand euros). Cash flow according to DVFA/SG
amounted to 116 thousand euros (previous year: 394 thousand euros).
The equity-ratio of the Group amounts to 53.9 percent (previous year: 49.1
percent).
Given the uncertainties of the worldwide economic activity, the management
of United MailSolutions
Holding AG refrains from a concrete numbered
prognosis. Despite the worldwide decreasing economic cycle, for 2009 the
company plans to further push its course of expansion and is confident to
reach an improved profitability as well as a market-driven growth.
