COMPUTERLINKS AG announces results for the first 9 months of 2005 - Successful start at COMPUTERLINKS North America

  Disclosure announcement transmitted by euro adhoc.
  The issuer is responsible for the content of this announcement.
16.11.2005
COMPUTERLINKS AG increased group turnover from 145.7 million Euro in
the same period of the previous year to 173.3 million Euro (+ 18.9%)
in the first nine months of 2005. Gross margins stood at 16.5% after
9 months of the current financial year (same period last year:
18.4%). EBITDA* (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortisation) were 7.3 million Euro in the period from 01.01.2005 to
30.09.2005 (same period last year: 7.6 million Euro). Foreign
currency losses of 0.77 million Euro (same period last year: foreign
currency gains of 0.44 million Euro) resulted in group earnings
before tax of 5.9 million Euro (same period last year: 7.4 million
Euro) in the first nine months of 2005. The net income for this
period was 3.8 million Euro (same period last year: 4.7 million
Euro). This corresponds to earnings per share of 0.60 Euro for the
first nine months of 2005 compared to 0.80 Euro in the previous year.
The start-up of the newly formed subsidiary, COMPUTERLINKS North
America, has been very encouraging. Positive EBITDA of 130 KEuro were
generated in the first quarter of its trading with turnover of 1.8
million Euro. The Securesoft Group, which was acquired in the 2nd
quarter of 2005, again lived up to expectations in the 3rd quarter of
2005.
For the 3rd quarter of 2005 group turnover rose by 29% to 61.6
million Euro (same period last year: 47.7 million Euro). With gross
margins of 15.4% in the 3rd quarter of 2005 EBITDA* were 1.9 million
Euro compared to 2.4 million Euro in the same quarter of the previous
year. Net income for the 3rd quarter of 2005 was 0.9 million Euro
compared to 1.5 million Euro in the same quarter of the previous
year. This resulted in earnings per share of 0.14 Euro (based on
6,221,243 shares) compared to 0.26 Euro in the 3rd quarter of 2004
(based on 5,857,220 shares).
Issuer's information/expalanatory remarks regarding this ad hoc
announcement:
Stephan Link, founder and CEO of COMPUTERLINKS AG stated: "Our growth
is to be given further impetus by our recent market expansion. The
Scandinavian Securesoft Group will contribute to profit in the 4th
quarter of 2005 for the first time in the last, crucial months of the
financial year 2005. The encouraging and profitable start for
COMPUTERLINKS North America is likely to be continued. In addition to
organic growth these effects will produce a disproportionate increase
in turnover and profit in the 4th quarter of 2005."
