Stuttgart/Moeglingen, February 26, 2001. – In the first nine months of fiscal
year 2000/01, USU AG increased its sales by 30,2% to DEM 41.9 million over the
prior-year period (PY: DEM 32.2 million). The new Knowledge Management unit also
developed favorably, with sales reaching DEM 2.8 million (PY: DEM 0.4 million).
Another rapidly expanding business unit, IT-Controlling, contributed DEM 13.1
million to total sales after DEM 9.8 million in the same period in the previous
year. Sales in the e-Business Integration unit totaled DEM 26.0 million (PY: DEM
22.0 million).
At DEM -2.8 million, the operating result before employee shares (EBITSO) was
within expectations in the reporting period. As projected, the established
e-Business Integration and IT-Controlling business units contributed positive
EBITSO of DEM 2.6 million, while the Knowledge Management growth sector
generated EBITSO of DEM -5.4 million as planned. In addition to significantly
intensified sales and marketing activities, the 87.5% increase in research and
development expenses to DEM 4.5 million also had an appreciable effect on
earnings (PY: DEM 2.4 million).
In the reporting period, USU’s EBIT according to U.S. GAAP was DEM -5.5 million
after DEM 0.4 million in the prior-year period. Aside from the fact that R&D
expenditures were considerably higher than in the previous year (as planned),
this development was largely a result of the known effect of the personnel
expenses associated with the pre-IPO employee shares (DEM 2.7 million). EBT
amounted to DEM -3.9 million (PY: DEM 1.7 million). The results USU generated
for the first nine months were within expectations at DEM -3.5 million (PY: DEM
0.8 million).
From the present perspective, the Company is confident that it will reach the
targets for 2000/01 published on the occasion of the IPO and expects that its
operating result will be positive again in 2001/02.
