Heute 5,50€ in Stuttgart.
Ein Handel per XETRA ist seit heute nicht mehr möglich.

[valueanleger]

Ich bleibe hier weiter Alleinunterhalter.
Gestern wurde die 5€ Marke wieder in Angriff genommen.
An schwachen Börsentagen zeigt sich wie gut es ist viele Aktien mit Sondersitutationen im Depot zu haben.
Exceet ist eine von dieser Gattung.

Der Bericht zum Q1 2018 ist auch veröffentlich worden und zeigt ein positves Quartalsergebnis im Vergleich zum Vorjahr.
Operativ somit alles in Ordnung.

Management and Board of Directors.

*Luxembourg, 28 February 2018 *- After a number of milestone achievements in
2016, the year 2017 was characterized by a further decisive restructuring and
cleaning-up of the balance sheet with total impairments of EUR 12.4 million.
In an overall supportive economic and market environment, the solid basis of
the Group helped to restore a robust top line and bottom line growth. Factors
influencing the final business figures were cost cutting benefits on the one
side, but restructuring related additional cost and impairment of intangible
assets on the other side. exceet's business was pushed mainly by higher sales
out of industrial projects and operational improvements. The operational cash
flow improved visibly. With White Elephant S.à r.l., exceet has a new majority
shareholder supporting the Group's portfolio of activities in order to create
and enhance value. exceet's business is bearing further opportunities with a
strong order backlog figure of EUR 107.3 million.

*Electronic Components, Modules & Systems (ECMS*) sales increased by 6.2% to
EUR 134.0 million (2016: EUR 126.2 million) with higher volumes out of
existing projects, new projects overcompensating lower sales from projects at
the end of their life cycle and a lower level of PCB deliveries at the
beginning of the year. EBITDA reached EUR 14.4 million against EUR 12.9
million in 2016. The EBITDA Margin1) increased accordingly from 10.3% in 2016
to 10.7% in 2017. This was supported by the leverage resulting from higher
sales along stable costs and includes costs of EUR 0.9 million out of the
restructuring measures in 2017.

In the micro- and opto-electronics business, a number of new customer projects
like a micro-camera based recognition of codes and optical analysis in complex
environments were won. Additionally, customers of the unit based in Berlin/DE
benefit from a unique spectrum of high-end chip-level technologies realized in
state-of-the-art cleanroom facilities. The high-end PCB business located in
Küssnacht/CH concentrates on miniaturized applications for the medical and
industrial market and focuses on new developments for the semi-additive
process, a proven production method used on rigid and flexible materials
enabling ultra-fine circuitry.

The increasing importance of hardware/software integration has been leading
the way for certain innovations in 2017 such as an industrial-use developer
kit based on a raspberry pi compute module. First customers already use this
technologically standardized, secure plug-and-play solution. In addition,
different customizable CPU platforms on the basis of the microprocessor family
i.MX6 are available. Clients are strongly interested in this microprocessor
related product suite as well as in panels, web terminals, medical grade body
wearables and homecare solutions for patient monitoring. Furthermore, exceet
engineers developed a unique concept for a decentralized, energy-efficient,
space-saving and award-winning ventilation system for buildings together with
a customer.

*exceet Secure Solutions (ESS)* achieved sales of EUR 9.4 million during the
reporting period (2016: EUR 9.2 million). The segment is focused on secure
remote services, IT Security and industrial Internet of Things (IoT) projects
and solutions. As of 31 December 2017 the costs of current projects of EUR 1.1
million (2016: EUR 1.3 million) have been capitalized as work in progress with
expected future revenues. The negative EBITDA of EUR 2.2 million (2016: minus
EUR 1.2 million) includes restructuring costs for Düsseldorf/DE of EUR 0.8
million). In 2017, the segment launched "exceet connect", a modular product
suite which ensures secure communication between users and devices and
guarantees protection against tapping and manipulation of data while giving
the customer the choice of different security levels. Additionally, the
segment further improved eHealth, eSignature and Hardware Security Module
(HSM) related developments.

Besides HSM products, exceet provides a spectrum of HSM Services including
customized software development, executed for a leading provider of carrier
and cloud-neutral colocation data-center-services in Europe. Within its IoT
projects, ESS offers the whole value chain including customer specific
hardware, software and services. The market for industry routers and
customized gateways grew strongly in 2017. The unit in Zirndorf/DE will move
to a larger location in 2018 to cover future growth and to optimize the work
flow conditions. ESS won a project from a German e-mobility start-up for the
development of a charging solution for electric vehicles using 100% green
electricity. Additionally, remote control and remote service projects for wind
power stations and thermal power stations were realized.

*Outlook*

exceet closed the financial year 2017 with satisfactory results on the whole.
Going forward, the Group is now ready to gain further visible organic business
improvements in its activities portfolio. This is supported by the excellent
shape of the economy, which is actually characterized by a broad and
convincing increase of corporate and public investments. As it was the case
for the previous quarters, the current strong order backlog figures amounting
to more than EUR 100 million should certainly be positively interpreted as a
good indicator of the Group's business opportunities in the coming months.
Without extraordinary events, sales should at least rise in accordance to
market growth, which could gain additional momentum. This should increase the
EBITDA-Margin visibly in 2018 supported by cost-efficient corporate
structures.

After a resolute cleaning of the balance sheet in the past reporting periods
with regards to the adjustment of valuations of former acquisitions and
business units being restructuring and streamlining processes, the
finalization of these adjustments in 2017 will therefore narrow the gap
between the operational profitability as measured by the EBITDA and the net
result. Additionally, the management will pay substantial attention to the
generation of Free Cash Flow1) and sustainably sound balance sheet ratios.

Although the big picture seems to be positive, some risks should be closely
tracked. Macro-economic risk factors that were broadly discussed at the
beginning of last year did not disappear. Market sentiment could deteriorate
quickly due to a prolonged and even increasing strength of the Euro or a
likely change towards a tighter monetary policy. New tensions within the
Eurozone and other political conflicts could undermine the newly regained
propensity to invest. Above all, global indebtedness remains an unsolved
issue. As outlined earlier, the current booming economy has generated longer
lead times for specific electronic components. An increasingly crucial factor
for future growth is the general lack of highly qualified employees.

Apart from that, regulatory hurdles and bureaucratic requirements rise
steadily and tend to become obstacles to innovation. Referring to the medtech
sector, the EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR) is considered hostile to
innovation by some manufacturers. Particularly, small start-ups within the
sector are suffering from lengthy admission procedures and refinancing issues.

exceet sees potential for value creation by optimizing its portfolio of
activities according to the Group's overall business purpose of enhancing the
value of exceet. Therefore, the Group considers possible divestments of
certain operations of its broad-based electronics business as well as
selective investments in new activities, both solely on the basis of
commercial considerations.

Bei Exceet machen die Aufkäufer langsam ernst - der Kurs steht nun schon bei 5€.
Oder liegt es nur an den niedrigen Umsätzen, so das es zu zufälligen Kursausschlägen in die ein oder andere Richtung kommt?
