CORPORATE NEWS - PRESS RELEASE
net mobile AG continues its growth
- Sales increase of 9,53 % to EUR 106,6 Mio
- Refocus of the group towards smartphone business influenced the result
by TEUR 6,396
- After strong investments in internationalisation net mobile AG shows
expected negative result of EUR 10,5 Mio
Düsseldorf, 30st of April 2012 - net mobile AG group (net-m) is a leading
international full-service provider for mobile and interactive value-added
services and payment solutions reports today its preliminary result for
2011. The figures of this business year are limited comparable with the
figures of the previous business year as this as a Stub period of three
months.
The development of sales is nicely encouraging. Sales increased
year-on-year by TEUR 9,279 or 9.53 % to EUR 106.6 million. Due to the long
term gross strategy the company invested heavily into internationalisation,
human recourses staff and product&services.
In terms of the strategic development net-m took over the majority of
Bankverein Werther AG. With this acquisition net mobile AG is able to
develop innovative mobile payment products including essential regulatory
requirements.
Regular write-downs on current assets (not including non-current financial
assets) increased year-on-year to TEUR 8,632 (previous year: TEUR 1,740) as
a result of investments. In addition, the company carried out one-off
write-downs on fixed and current assets amounting to TEUR 6,396. These
one-off write-downs were carried out as a result of a permanent impairment
of these assets due to the changes in the market environment.
However, net finance costs declined by TEUR 2,120 to TEUR 1,373 as a result
of increased borrowing requirements, the unexpected write down of
participations and unwinding a long-term liability and depreciation on
participations.
The total net loss for the year deteriorated significantly year-on-year by
TEUR 11,470 to TEUR 10,501. This was as a result of one-off write-downs in
connection with systematically focusing the company on the smartphone
business and the margin pressure. The costs of the acquisition of the
interest in Bankverein Werther AG also had a negative impact of TEUR 650 on
the result. Furthermore, margin pressure in the Payment&Interactive
segment influenced the result.
Outlook
In the financial year 2012, the Executive Board plans to continue its path
of systematically focusing on smartphone technology and optimising M and E
commerce payment methods. This is accompanied by further
internationalisation.
Overall, the high growth momentum is set to be continued. However, this
depends on proper financial support by the shareholders.
For 2012, the Executive Board expects sales on group level of approximately
EUR 130 million and a significantly improved result. Focused on the
business conducted by net mobile AG it results in a higher sales and
increasing profitability. The increasing profitability will depend on
significantly strengthening the gross profit margin. In 2013, significant
profits are estimated to be generated for the first time and sales are
expected to continue rising considerably.
