Group report as of September 30, 2000 EASY SOFTWARE: Earnings
continue to meet the schedule Earnings per share increased to Euro
0.24; sales increased by 53.7 percent to DM 48.2 million.
In its group report for the first nine months of 2000, EASY
SOFTWARE AG shows a DVFA/SG net income of DM 2.388 million for the
period. The earnings per share increased to DM 0.46, or Euro 0.24;
this amount exceeded the projected figure of Euro 0.20 per share
which was announced in August. As strategic investors have acquired
stakes of 80 percent each in the American and British EASY
subsidiaries, these companies were no longer consolidated, deviating
from the original plan. Among other things, this serves to accelerate
the penetration of the market, and to expand the platform for license
software sales. Moreover, the company will win back liquid assets.
Notwithstanding the reduced scope of consolidation, the sales revenue
within the EASY group increased significantly by 53.7 percent to DM
48.2 million (previous year DM 31.36 million). Thus, at the end of
the third quarter, the sates revenue had already almost reached the
volume of the entire previous year. The scope of consolidation
includes ScanOptic Gesellschaft für Scanner- und optische
Speichertechnologie of Muelheim; SOLSYS Solution Systems GmbH of
Vienna/Austria; EASY SOFTWARE S.A.S. of Paris/France; and ZERES GmbH
of Bochum. The pre-tax and pre-interest EBIT result of DM 4.24
million constituted a 124,8 percent increase over the comparable
figure for the previous year (DM 1.89 million). The pre-tax EBET
result increased from DM 2.03 million to DM 4.43 million. The
personnel costs, including social security contributions, came to DM
21.59 million (previous year: DM 12.44 million). As of September 30
of this year, the EASY group had 292 employees (151 in the previous
year); this emphasizes the significant investments in future market
success. To fortify the core business, several innovative additions
to the EASY range of products were released during these past weeks
and were very well received at the fall trade shows "DMS Expo" in
Essen and "Systems 2000" in Munich. Furthermore, EASY SOFTWARE is
swiftly expanding the circle of competent solution partners for
wide-ranging sales. With the reported increase in sales, the EASY
SOFTWARE group Keeps growing at more than twice the rate of the
overall market for document management systems (DMS). Against the
background of the effected investments and preparatory work, we
intend to maintain this high growth rate in the months to come.
