preliminary results for the 1st quarter of 2015

In preparing the quarterly financial statements for the first quarter of 2015, the Board of Management arrived at the estimate yesterday that an EBIT margin of -25 to -30% is to be expected for the Q1 reporting period. Given the leaner cost structure, the Board of Management of update software AG had last expected to see a more positive result already in the 1st quarter of 2015. Total revenue for the 1st quarter of 2015 is estimated at EUR 6.2 million, and thus around 21% below the total revenue of EUR 7.9 million in the 4th quarter of 2014.
The reason for this result is a strain on the cost ratio, triggered by unexpectedly high one-time expenses in connection with the unplanned departure of employees. As a result, more services had to be purchased from third parties, which also has a negative impact on earnings.
