2006 - Successes in direct sales business filling prospects 2007
Taegerwilen/Switzerland, 27 November 2006. SAF AG which is listed on
the Prime Standard of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (ISIN
CH0024848738) publishes the figures of the third quarter and
consequently raises the guidance slightly.
Substantial increase in consolidated net profit
In the third quarter of 2006, SAF continued its extremely positive
business performance. Even though sales in the software industry are
traditionally weaker in the third quarter, SAF recorded a significant
increase in sales and results compared with the prior-year period.
In the first nine months of the current financial year, SAF generated
total sales of EUR 9.7 (3.5 in Q3/06) million, another significant
increase of 102.6 (166.9 in Q3/06) percent compared with Q1-3/05.
Sales rose as a result of increases in the sale of software licences
(plus 171.5 percent and 374.4 percent in Q3/06) and maintenance
services (plus 99.5 percent and 97.1 percent in Q3/06).
In line with its sales growth, SAF continued to expand its
organisation as planned. In spite of the resulting cost increases,
EBIT rose approx. 3.5-fold up to EUR 3.6 million or approx. 13-fold
up to EUR 1.1 million in Q3/06 compared with the same period of the
previous year. This corresponds to an EBIT margin of 36.6 (32.9 in
Q3/06)percent.
Similarly, SAF AG's consolidated net profit also rose sharply. At EUR
1.1 million, this is around 16 times higher than the EUR 0.07 million
the company reported in Q3/05. In the first nine months, consolidated
net profit rose to EUR 3.2 million, a fourfold increase compared with
the same period of the previous year.
SAF increases guidance figure in response to unexpectedly sharp rise
in sales
On the back of the unusually high sales of the third quarter, the
Company has already achieved nine-month sales of EUR 9.7 million and
net profit of EUR 3.2 million, thus almost reaching, by the end of
Q3, the net profit planned for the whole year. For the 2006 financial
year, SAF expects sales of up to EUR 13.3 million and net profit of
up to EUR 4.0 million, i.e. a net profit margin of up to 30 percent
(previously released: sales EUR 12.3-13 million, net profit margin of
27-30 percent or EUR 3.3-3.9 million net profit).
Further successes in direct sales business filling prospects 2007
SAF is currently negotiating contract with potential new customers.
However, resulting licence fee payments of all mentioned projects are
expected in 2007 and provide a good start for the new financial year.
SAF worked on additional sales potentials that are a solid basis for
further increasing license fees.
