6-month report/business figures
17.08.2010
- Sales revenues up 16 % year on year to EUR 37.8 million, of which 8
percentage points organic growth - Operating earnings (EBITDA) rise 
by 40 % to EUR 1.9 million, Q2 an improvement on Q1 - Consolidated 
earnings come to EUR 588 thousand, EUR 48 thousand below the previous
year - EBITDA forecast dropped from EUR 6.5 million to EUR 5.0 
million and consolidated earnings forecast from EUR 4 million to EUR 
2.5 million
adesso AG was able to increase sales revenues and operating earnings 
in the second quarter of 2010 compared to the previous year and the 
first three months of the year. Total sales revenues went up by 16 % 
or EUR 5.3 million to EUR 37.8 million in the first half of the year.
As the general economic situation continued recovering however, 
adesso was unable to maintain capacity utilisation for its 
consultants and software developers at the level of the previous six 
months. Contrary to the Company´s guidance, prices in 2010 have until
now remained constant or dropped only slightly.
Operating earnings (EBITDA) rose by 40 % or EUR 542 thousand to EUR 
1.9 million, falling short of the Company´s expectations. Sales of 
licenses in Company software products increased, pushing up EBITDA in
turn. The EBITDA margin went up by 0.9 percentage points to 5.0 % 
year on year. Consolidated earnings came to EUR 588 thousand, 
slightly down by EUR 48 thousand on the previous year due to higher 
depreciation and amortisation on the purchase price allocations of 
acquisitions as well as deferred tax assets from the measurement of 
EUR 361 thousand in loss carryforwards.
In June and July, demand for IT consultancy services and software 
development rose steeply and adesso managed to increase its capacity 
utilisation. Overall, the Company expects earnings and operating 
margin to increase in the second half of the year. But it will be 
difficult by now to still achieve the figures forecast for the entire
2010 financial year. The EBITDA forecast is therefore being dropped 
to EUR 5.0 million (previously: EUR 6.5 million) and the consolidated
earnings forecast to EUR 2.5 million (previously: EUR 4 million).
The complete Half-year Report 2010 will be published on 27 August 
2010 and will be available on the Company website at
