Jena, October 2, 2013 - Intershop Communications AG (ISIN: DE000A0EPUH1)
has revised its sales and earnings guidance for the financial year 2013.
The Management previously assumed single-digit sales growth from the
previous year's EUR 51.8 million and expected to approximately break even
in EBIT terms (earnings before interest and taxes).
Delays incurred on several major orders resulted in lower net revenues and,
consequently, a lower EBIT for the third quarter than expected.
The Board of Management, therefore, no longer anticipates meeting the
previous guidance for the full year 2013. Instead, the Board now expects to
report net revenues around the previous year's level as well as a negative
EBIT amounting to a low single-digit million euro amount. Going forward to
2014, the company is expected to return to rising net revenues and a
positive operating result.
