UET United Electronic Technology AG (ISIN: DE000A0LBKW6), Eschborn,
releases selected financial figures for the operating business units
SYSTEMS, MANUFACTURING and SERVICE for the first quarter of 2015, from
January 1st to March 31st 2015.
In the period from January to March of the fiscal year 2015, the operating
companies and business units in the core business of the UET Group
generated consolidated revenues of 15.347 mn EUR.
With regard to the companies belonging to the UET Group in the previous
year (without ALBIS Technologies AG), a revenue increase of 1.714 mn EUR
was achieved compared to the same period of the previous year.
The business units SYSTEMS and MANUFACTURING, referring to the companies
belonging to the UET Group during the same quarter of the previous year,
were able to improve and refine their profits.
Excluding consolidation effects, the financial figures are presented as
follows:
In the business unit SYSTEMS, ELCON Systemtechnik increased its revenues
from 7.948 mn EUR to 9.919 mn EUR and, therefore, by 25%. Despite again
increased expenses in the field of research and development, the EBITDA
could be improved by 0.620 mn EUR to +1.051 mn EUR and the EBIT could be
improved to +0.569 mn EUR.
Also in the business unit SYSTEMS, ALBIS Technologies AG, which was
acquired at the beginning of the year, generated quarterly revenues of
5.879 mn EUR. EBITDA as well as EBIT were negative and amount to -1.163 mn
EUR and -1.198 mn EUR respectively in the first three months of the fiscal
year. With regard to the time of acquisition, ALBIS Technologies is
included in the consolidation of the UET Group as of March 1st 2015, which
amounted to a revenue share of 2.053 mn EUR. EBITDA and EBIT for March
amounted to -0.444 mn EUR and -0.456 mn EUR respectively.
The development of ALBIS' earnings is in line with expectations and already
considered with respect to terms of pricing as well as structure. Aiming at
increasing growth and revenue, the company is currently being integrated
into the business unit SYSTEMS.
In the business unit MANUFACTURING, LETRON electronic experienced a
decrease in revenues of 27% to 2.105 mn EUR for the first quarter of 2015.
With +0.075 mn EUR, the EBITDA was positive but below the previous year's
figure by 0.014 mn EUR. With +0.074 mn EUR, the EBIT was also positive but
slightly decreased by 0.013 mn EUR.
NEWTAL Elektronik & Systeme generated revenues of 2.796 mn EUR and was,
therefore, almost at the level of the previous year. Despite almost
unchanged revenues, the EBITDA was improved by 0.023 mn EUR to +0.148 mn
EUR. The EBIT was increased by 0.025 mn EUR and is now at +0.126 mn EUR.
The business unit MANUFACTURING thereby confirmed the positive operative
results of the previous quarters.
In the business unit SERVICE, SUCONI Service reported revenues of 0.398 mn
EUR for the first quarter, which represented a decrease of 21% compared to
the same period of the previous year. Both EBITDA and EBIT were negative
and amounted to -0.083 mn EUR and thus are below the previous year's level.
For the second quarter, we expect an overall decrease in profits.
Investments on product and market development have been increased and ALBIS
will still contribute a negative profit share.
The reported financial figures do not include consolidation effects of
existing non operating UET Holding companies. Extended full consolidated
financials will be reported within the half-year report 2015.
