Disclosure announcement transmitted by euro adhoc. The issuer is responsible for the content of this announcement.
Hamburg, March 10, 2003 - In 2002 broadnet mediascape communications AG was able to increase revenue by 65.6 % from TEUR 9,424 in the previous year to TEUR 15,609. Thus the Group was able to exceed the planned increase in revenue of 10 % to 15 %. The year 2002 was mainly driven by the takeovers of Broadnet Deutschland and KKFnet AG. With the acquisitions, broadnet mediascape was able to complement its wireless infrastructure as well as to take over a DSL network with 1.800 clients and about one million Euros in revenue per month. On top the Group was able to strengthen its cash and equity positions. Due to the one-off expenditures for the integration of the two subsidiaries, EBITDA decreased by 15.2 % to minus TEUR 10,122 (previous year: minus TEUR 8,783). The integration is almost completed. Positive synergies will have their effect in the first quarter of 2003. The Group was never the less able to increase its EBIT from minus TEUR 22,185 in 2001 to minus TEUR 18,929 in 2002. As at December 31, 2002 broadnet mediascape had liquid funds of TEUR 39,770 (previous year: TEUR 33,155). In total, the Group invested 4.877 million Euros (previous year: 9.197 million Euros). The reduction in investments mainly resulted from the almost completed build up of the network and the minimum investments during integration. As of December 31, 2002, broadnet mediascape served some 5,560 business customers with 5,267 broadband applications (previous year: 3,200 business customers with 850 broadband connections). For 2003 the Group expects growth in turnover. For the current business year the company expects a negative result, but operating break even (EBITDA-basis) on a monthly basis should be reached for the first time.
