adesso AG increases sales and operating profit in the first half of 2014; second quarter weaker / earnings forecast maintained On the basis of preliminary figures for the first half of 2014 adesso had revenues of EUR 75 million and an EBITDA of EUR 3.3 million. Compared to the previous year, sales have increased by 15% purely organic and operating profit EBITDA by 13%. Second quarter of 2014 with a turnover of EUR 37 million and an EBITDA of EUR 0.6 million was significantly weaker than the first quarter. This was due to the lower number of working days, small license revenues as well as increased costs for some projects and investments in additional solutions for the insurance industry. The forecast for the full year 2014 with increased sales of EUR 144 to 148 million (previous year: EUR 135 million) and an increased EBITDA of EUR 8.5 to 9.0 million (previous year: EUR 7.8 million) is currently maintained for the EBITDA and raised to EUR 153 to 158 million in sales.
