/ Key word(s): Quarterly / Interim Statement/9 Month figures
Düsseldorf, November 6th, 2024 In the first nine months of 2024, the Group was able to increase its sales as planned to 85.6 million EUR (previous year 78.2 million EUR) and achieved a stable gross profit of 24.1 million EUR (previous year 24.1 million EUR). Operating EBITDA – burdened as planned by the start-up costs of major projects – reached 5.4 million EUR (7.0 million EUR in the previous year). The third quarter 2024 was successful and in line with expectations. Sales increased by 2.2 million EUR to 28.8 million EUR. In the ecotel business customers segment, sales increased by 0.2 million EUR to 11.8 million EUR compared to the previous year, supported by initial sales from the major projects currently being implemented. The ecotel Wholesale segment recorded an increase in sales by EUR 2.0 million to EUR 17.0 million. Gross profit also improved slightly by 0.2 million EUR to 8.1 million EUR. Operating EBITDA increased by 0.2 million EUR to 1.9 million EUR in the third quarter compared to the same quarter of the previous year. This increase consisted of 0.1 million EUR in the ecotel business customers segment (1.5 million EUR) and 0.1 million EUR in the ecotel wholesale segment (0.4 million EUR). While gross profit remained stable overall, income from the purchase of advance services amounting to EUR 0.5 million and additional expenses for a license agreement (EUR 0.2 million) for data center components were largely responsible for this development. In the third quarter, one-off expenses from the stock option plan of 2020 in the amount of EUR 0.7 million as well as reorganization and restructuring expenses in the amount of EUR 0.3 million, as described in the annual report 2023 were deducted from operating EBITDA. These targeted investments as well as scheduled depreciation of EUR 1.1 million (previous year: EUR 1.1 million) led to a slight decline in consolidated net profit, which, despite the increase in operating EBITDA in the third quarter of 2024 stood at EUR -0.1 million (previous year: EUR 0.4 million). While in the financial year 2023, income from the transfer of usage rights to Internet resources was realized in the first half of the year, in the current financial year this income is expected to be achieved in the fourth quarter as planned. Free cash flow for the first nine months of 2024 amounted to -2.3 million euros, which is due to planned investments in the expansion of the cloud and fiber product platforms as well as upfront investments in the major projects currently being implemented. In addition, one-off expenses in connection with the 2020 stock option plan were taken into account. At the beginning of the third quarter, dividends amounting to EUR 1.6 million (0.47 EUR per share) were distributed. As a result, 2024 financial liabilities amount to EUR 1.2 million as of September 30. The Management Board confirms the forecast for the financial year 2024 as set out in the forecast of the annual report 2023. Sales in the ecotel Business Customers segment are expected to reach the lower end of the corridor of 48 to 52 million EUR, while sales in the ecotel Wholesale segment are expected to be above the corridor of 50 to 60 million EUR.
