Provisional figures
25.02.2008
- According to the provisional figures, EBIT has climbed 
significantly to EUR 5.8 million - High-margin license and services 
businesses grow by around 6.9 % and 15.9 % respectively - Positive 
outlook for 2008, with healthy order book
Berlin, February 25, 2008 - Pending the final audit of its financial 
statements, Beta Systems Software AG (BSS, ISIN DE0005224406) 
achieved an significant improvement in its results in the fiscal year
2007. Provisional calculations show that EBIT has risen to EUR 5.8 
million (2006: EUR -15.6 million). This makes it the best result 
achieved by the Berlin-based software supplier since the company´s 
IPO and confirms the sound turnaround already achieved in the first 
six months of 2007. According to provisional figures, revenues 
generated by the license and services segments climbed 6.9% to EUR 
29.0 million (2006: EUR 27.1 million) and 15.9% to EUR 14.6 million 
(2006: EUR 12.6 million) respectively. Total revenues declined to EUR
88.7 million owing to the scheduled downsizing of the hardware 
business (2006: EUR 96.6 million). The trend reversal at Beta Systems
is attributable to the consistent implementation of measures to 
streamline sales, the optimization of the cost structure and 
concentration on the company´s core business.

is expecting the EBIT margin to grow in the upper single-digit range.

improvement in results through expanding its software license and 
services business lines, reinforcing its market position in the 
financial services sector and through servicing large customers, as 
well as bolstering its global partner business. Above all, the 
ongoing implementation of the Beta4Agility product and sales strategy
is set to play a major role this year which marks the company´s 25th
