DGAP-News: Softing AG / Key word(s): Preliminary Results Softing AG: Preliminary Q1 2014 figures: Revenue boosted significantly - weaker earnings 06.05.2014 / 18:55 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Softing today announces that it managed to significantly expand its business volume in the first quarter by boosting revenue by more than 30% to EUR 16 million (EUR 12 million). EBIT declined to around EUR 1 million (EUR 1.4 million) due to extraordinary items. Net profit for the year was EUR 0.64 million (EUR 1.1 million). The figures include around EUR 2.34 million in revenue and a double-digit EBIT margin generated by Psiber Data GmbH, which was acquired effective January 1, 2014. At just under 13%, organic growth was strong - even without Psiber effects. The result of the first quarter was significantly depressed by costs for setting up the new sales organization in North America, one-off costs for the completed acquisition and the costs of on-going acquisition efforts. A deferral of particularly high-margin release orders from major customers to the year's second half also impacted first-quarter earnings. Softing expects to roll out several new products in 2014 and anticipates initial effects from major multi-year orders to materialize. Furthermore, major customers have committed to taking delivery of planned product quantities during the year, despite the deferrals. Softing therefore confirms its annual revenue target of more than EUR 60 million and EBIT target of around EUR 7 million. The complete Quarterly Report 1/2014 with the final figures can be downloaded from the investor relations section at www.softing.com from May 14, 2014.
