In comparison to the first quarter 2002 EUWAX broker AG increased its profit in the first quarter 2003 by 26% to kEUR 2,378. The period surplus would have turned out significantly higher without the non-tax effective writing offs on medium and long term securities. The income from ordinary activities climbed by 66% to kEUR 4,940. The most important reasons for the satisfying business development are: – Continuing increase of market share of Stuttgart Stock Exchange to currently 37% of German order book turnover – Significantly diminished expenditures compared to the 4th quarter 2002 DVFA earnings per share decreased by 9% to EUR 0.47. The decline is attributed to last year’s capital increase.
