Winnweiler/Langmeil, 01 August 2012. MOBOTIX AG (ISIN DE0005218309), a
systems provider of high-resolution network-based video surveillance
systems, announces the group's preliminary financial figures for the first
nine months of the financial year 2011/12 (1 October 2011 until 30 June
2012) (IFRS accounts).
In the current financial year 2011/12, MOBOTIX group saw a cumulative sales
growth of 16 per cent as compared to the first three quarters of the last
full business year (July 2011 until March 2012), with sales amounting to
approximately EUR 60 million.
With an EBIT of EUR 12.9 million, it was possible to realize an EBIT margin
of 21 per cent. The profit after taxes is approximately EUR 9.1 million,
which corresponds to a sales return of approximately 15 per cent.
Given the weak state of the overall economy in almost all European markets
and the increased insecurity over the debt crisis worldwide, the management
board expects a sales growth of between 3 per cent and 10 per cent with an
EBIT margin of between 19 per cent and 22 per cent for the full financial
year 2011/12.
In the medium term, a continued strong growth with high profitability is
expected. In this connection, numerous further innovations are planned
which are intended to be introduced to the market in the next few quarters.
Also, the world's first flexible double hemispheric camera (S14), which had
been launched at the end of June, is expected to positively contribute to
sales.
The management board of MOBOTIX AG will present the final results of the
first nine months 2011/12 during a telephone conference at 11:00 a.m. on 15
August 2012.
