The company, one of the leading global providers of eHealth solutions, achieved revenue of EUR 103.3 million, up 37 percent compared to the third quarter 2010. Operating profit (EBITDA) came in at EUR 23.3 million, an increase of 29 percent compared to the same period of 2010. With this result, CompuGroup Medical AG continues to grow strongly with an unchanged business focus. The group strategy is based on the greatest coverage among healthcare providers (physicians, dentists, hospitals, pharmacies, etc.) worldwide. With the addition of the newly acquired pharmacy software business of LAUER-FISCHER, revenue in the HPS (Health Provider Services) business segment soared 46 percent to a record EUR 87.6 million in the quarter. Further progress was also made during the reporting period to develop the business in the United States. The consolidation and restructuring of the US business now shows clear positive effects, and for the first time the business had a positive quarterly operating profit (EBITDA) in the third quarter of 2011 alongside a steady increase in order bookings. "We have pushed hard over the last 6-12 months with multiple acquisitions adding to the growth and strategic direction of our business. It is only natural that this was followed by a period with strong emphasis on consolidation and integration of the acquired companies. The third quarter this year shows the early fruits of our efforts to bring margins back in line and we will continue to work hard to further improve group profitability in the coming periods", stated Frank Gotthardt, Chairman of the Board of CompuGroup Medical AG. Following the third quarter, CompuGroup Medical refines the 2011 outlook with full year 2011 group revenue expected to be EUR 392 million with operating income (EBITDA) expected to be EUR 73 million.
