Bechtle AG: Continued Success Story with Strong Third Quarter - Seite 2
the headcount thus went up by 491, an increase of 6.9 per cent. The
increase was the result of acquisitions as well as new recruitment. On 1
September, more than 160 young people embarked on their training or
integrated degree programme with Bechtle. The training ratio in Germany was
7.8 per cent.
Annual forecast adjusted upwards
In view of the good performance of the first nine months of 2016, Bechtle
is confident that it will be able to reach the goal formulated in March
2016, which provides for a significant revenue and earnings increase for
the year as a whole. However, the Executive Board has decided to step up to
the original forecast, which had predicted an EBT margin at the prior-year
level. In the course of the year, Bechtle has continually succeeded in
noticeably increasing the margin, especially in the IT system house &
managed services segment. Moreover, a large-scale forfaiting in the third
quarter resulted in a positive one-time effect of EUR1.3 million on the
financial earnings. Against this backdrop, the Executive Board expects a
slight increase of the EBT margin for 2016 as a whole. "The earnings
development in the year to date has exceeded our expectations. In view of
the fact that we have significantly outperformed the prior year especially
in the IT system house & managed services segment, we feel that a slight
EBT margin increase would also be realistic at the group level. However,
this will only be possible if the economic framework conditions remain
intact in the fourth quarter and we do not experience any supply
bottlenecks on the supplier side towards the end of the year", says Dr.
Thomas Olemotz.
