Hamburg, 14.08.01 – PopNet Internet AG (PNZ, WKN 622 810) has realised an
expected turnover of 19,87 Mio. Euro, based on the interim figures for the first
six months of the current business year 2001. The EBITDA amounts to approx.
minus 3,942 Mio. Euro with an EBIT of approx. minus 6,750 Mio. Euro. PopNet
Internet AG could also not avoid the general dominant cyclical recession on one
side. Similarly it had to carry out further optimisation measures of its
operative business, according to changed market conditions. With these
alignments followed capacity adjustments and the separation from loss making
performers beyond the restructuring programme. Therefore the company is amending
its targets for the current business year and anticipates a corrected turnover
value of approx. 43,9 Mio. Euro in 2001 (Plan: 51,3 Mio. Euro). Nevertheless the
company expects the turnover to double in comparison to the previous year
(Turnover 2000: 21,93 Mio. Euro). In the second quarter projects could be
realised for well-known companies, among which Stella Entertainment, Ben
Nederland B.V. and Fraport, owner and carrier of the largest airport in
continental Europe are but a few. The current order situation will enable the
turnover situation to increase in the third quarter. This is confirmed by large
contracts, especially in the field of mySAP, for leading companies like EADS
European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company, T-Nova and Neckermann Versand.
Despite the current general economic challenges, the digitalisation of the
industry and service sectors are striding even further ahead. New customers
which were won, such as the worldwide operational industry companies Siemens and
Benteler, underline this belief. The substantial targets remain unchanged: to
gain operative profitability and to concentrate on the field of IT service
providing for eBusiness solutions. For this, PopNet has forced its sales
activities and has started a concentrated market offensive. Also the
administrative structure will be adapted to the operative structure.
