Optimistic outlook for the entire 2008 financial year
Vienna, 29th October 2008. Despite the ongoing international 
financial crisis, the IT consultancy and service provider S&T has 
again successfully expanded its consulting and services business in 
the third quarter of 2008. In the Managed Services sector 
(outsourcing solutions), S&T showed an increase in sales of 23.2%, to
26.1 million Euro, for this period (Q1-Q3 2008: 73.3 million Euro, 
+21.0%). Sales figures for the Business Solutions Division (software 
solutions and SAP consulting) rose in the third quarter of 2008 by 
1.3% to 39.9 million Euro, and increased in the first nine months of 
the year by 12.4% to 115.3 million Euro. Total sales increased in Q3 
2008 by 1.7% to 124.9 million Euro, and increased from January to 
September 2008 by 3.1%, to 362.3 million Euro. The company is 
expecting sales of 510-520 million Euro and an EBIT of 11-12 million 
Euro for the whole year, thereby achieving numbers close to the 
record figures from 2007.
The contribution to S&T Group sales growth made by the service 
provision business (outsourcing, software and consulting) has 
increased over-proportionally and now accounts for 52% of total 
sales. The hardware-related Enterprise Services business achieved 
sales of 58.9 million Euro (-5.4%) in Q3 2008 and 173.7 million Euro 
(-7.8%) for the first nine months of the year. "Due to the financial 
crisis, some customers have postponed infrastructure orders, in 
particular those involving servers and storage equipment," explains 
Christian Rosner, S&T CEO. In the third quarter of 2008, the Group 
generated an EBITDA of 3.3 million Euro (-24.7%), January to 
September totalling 10.6 million Euro (-7.7%). The EBIT for Q3 was 
1.4 million Euro (-44.4%) and was 5.0 million Euro (-17.1%) for the 
first nine months of the year. The gross margin was 40.5% in Q3 and 
40.2% for the year to the end of September. Rosner: "The financial 
crisis unfortunately can´t fail to have some impact on S&T, but we 
have a stable business model with a considerable portion of our 
portfolio consisting of services and consulting, as well as mostly 
mid-term duration contracts and projects. In addition, IT is crucial 
for practically every company and is vital in particular when it 
comes to boosting cost and efficiency potentials. We are therefore 
currently expecting a good 2008 fourth quarter in our key business 
units".
2008 Outlook Despite the prevailing economic climate, the S&T Group 
expects a good 2008 fourth quarter in the majority of its countries. 
For the whole year, the company expects total sales of 510-520 
million Euro and an EBIT of 11-12 million Euro. Rosner: "We are 
assuming that we will again increase the gross margin for the whole 
year and that we will be able to continue on our path of solid 
success, despite the ongoing crunch. In 2009 we will focus on 
increasing profitability in all countries and business units."
