adesso AG expects to exceed earnings forecast for 2014
adesso AG expects to exceed the forecast for the operating profit EBITDA in fiscal year 2014. EBITDA for the full year is now expected to be EUR 9.4 to 9.8 million (previously: EUR 8.5 to 9.0 million). Drivers for the positive development in the fourth quarter have been again high utilisation, profitable projects and higher than expected license sales. In the fourth quarter another DAX company has been acquired for the use of the high-end content management system FirstSpirit and two additional customers have been gained in the United States. The evaluation of projects and balance sheet items for the separate financial statements is not yet complete, and the transition to IFRS figures for the consolidated financial statement is as well pending. Hence, the consolidated operating profit of the Group is subject to typical fluctuations in the process of preparing the consolidated financial statement. The audited consolidated annual financial statement with the final figures of 2014 will be released as planned on 30 March 2015.
