Vtion Wireless Technology AG confirms outlook despite lower revenues
Vtion Wireless Technology AG / Key word(s): Preliminary Results/9-month figures Preliminary Results 9 months 2014 Vtion Wireless Technology AG confirms outlook despite lower revenues Frankfurt, November 21, 2014. According to preliminary results Vtion Wireless Technology AG (Vtion), a leading supplier of wireless data solutions for mobile computing in China, achieved revenues of 12.4 million Euros in the third quarter of 2014 and generated revenues of 35.3 million Euros in the first nine months of 2014. The latter corresponds to a decrease of 22 per cent compared to the nine-months-period of 2013. Despite the decrease of revenues the EBIT margin of 7.6 per cent is in line with the same period of last year and the guidance as adjusted in August 2014. The decrease of revenues during the first nine months 2014 was mainly due to lower sales of wireless data cards using 3G technology, the wireless high definition sharer named “PCtoTV” and the network camera VCAM. Latter has been canceled during the reporting period of 2014. With the persistent pricing pressure and a limited demand for these devices, Vtion seeks to promote more specialized products. Among these are wireless data cards developed specifically for the storage and transfer of tax data. They contributed 21 per cent to the total revenue during the reporting period 2014. The company also plans to launch a wireless data router based on 4G technology by the end of this year. Furthermore the company made progress in industry-specific computing solutions and broadened the client-base to eleven companies during the reporting period. In the third segment of the mobile application business ‘Vmarket’ provided by Vtion Anzhuo and partner sales platforms currently offer a total amount of more than 9,800 applications. In order to increase the revenue in this field, Vtion will focus on strengthening its presence as a third party designer and operator of online application stores for other companies, particularly large-screen device manufacturers. Vtion recently signed a cooperation agreement with the international manufacturer of TV devices Sharp to provide an appstore in Southeast of Asia. By the end of the reporting period as at September 30, 2014, Vtion had a net cash position of 127.7 million Euros and an equity ratio of 95 per cent. These capital resources allow the company to return cash to shareholders while keeping cash on hand for both working capital needs and investment opportunities. All in all the Management Board is confident to reach revenues of at least 48 million Euros and an EBIT margin of approximately 7 per cent for the full year 2014.
