QSC confirms preliminary figures for the third quarter of 2014 - Seite 2

QSC to publish guidance for fiscal 2015 at the end of January 2015 already

These growth measures, alongside a comprehensive program to recover QSC's
customary profitability, will have a positive effect in the course of 2015.
To this end, QSC is currently scrutinizing all expense items and processes.
These measures will be directly incorporated into the guidance for fiscal
2015, which QSC will already be publishing, together with the initial
preliminary figures for the 2014 fiscal year, at the end of January 2015.
QSC's CEO Jürgen Hermann explains: "The course of business so far in 2014
has shown weakness primarily in the marketing of our comprehensive ICT
service range. We therefore continue to work flat out at specifically
strengthening sales. At the same time, the efficiency of service provision
and cost awareness must be enhanced. On this basis QSC will recover
profitability during the course of 2015."
