Coblenz, 19th June 2007 - Today, CompuGROUP issued its guidance for
revenue and profitability for the year 2007. The Executive Board expects for the full 2007 revenue and EBITDA to grow about 40 pc and a growth rate of about 50 pc for "Cash Net Income". Shareholders acquiring shares at the recent public offering have predominantly looked at measuring profitability by Cash Net Income which is net income plus amortization of intangibles resulting from the acquisition of companies.
CompuGROUP issues this guidance at its annual shareholders meeting in Frankfurt today. CompuGROUP went to the public market in early May selling shares at EUR 18 per share. Today, at its first annual shareholders meeting after being listed in the Prime Standard of the Frankfurt stock exchange, CompuGROUP institutes the policy to issue guidance on revenue and profitability for the year.
Main growth CompuGROUP expects 25 percentage points of the growth rate for the profit to be achieved with its traditional products doctors' software and communication services between doctors and other participants of the health sector and 15 percentage points to result from the new product software for hospitals.
The growth rate translates into sales of about EUR 190-200 million, EBITDA of about 55 million and Cash Net Income of about 37 million.
