Utimaco Reports Preliminary Results of the Second Quarter 2008/2009
Oberursel, 27th January 2009 According to current calculations, Utimaco
Safeware has achieved revenues of 16.7 million in the second quarter
(October to December) of fiscal year 2008/2009 (July 2008 to June 2009).
This corresponds to a decrease of 9.9% compared to revenues in the same
period in the previous year (previous year 18.5 million). After an
increase in revenues of 11.4% in the first quarter 2008/2009 to 12.2
million (previous year 11.0 million) this corresponds to a decline in
revenues of 2.0% to 28.9 million (previous year 29.5 million) after six
months.
For the second quarter 2008/2009 the company expects an EBITDA of minus
0.1 million (previous year 6.2 million). After an EBITDA of minus 0.4
million (previous year 1.5 million) in the first quarter 2008/2009 this
represents an EBITDA result of minus 0.5 million (previous year 7.7
million) after six months, including extraordinary costs of 2.3 million
within the scope of the takeover by Sophos.
Due to the uncertainty of the future economic development in the target
markets Europe, USA and Japan, the company expects a slight decline in
revenues for fiscal year 2008/2009 compared to previous year´s revenues of
59.2 million. Considering the higher operating costs and the
extraordinary expenses within the scope of the takeover by Sophos, Utimaco
expects a significant decline in result (EBITDA), which amounted
10.9 million in the previous fiscal year.
The final results for the first six months of fiscal year 2008/2009 will be
published on 26th February 2009.
