Company Press Release

Envoy Communications Group Inc. (ECG:TSE) Wins `Innovation in Technology` Award from Hewlett Packard

Profit 100 Names Envoy One of Canada`s Fastest Growing Companies


TORONTO, June 1 /CNW-PRN/ - Geoff Genovese, President and CEO of the Envoy Communications Group (TSE:ECG - news) today announced the company was chosen by Hewlett Packard Canada to receive the `Innovation in Technology` award at Profit Magazine`s Toronto luncheon celebrating Canada`s fastest growing companies.

This award is given to the Toronto firm which utilizes technology to redefine or regenerate the way in which they approach their business or industry. Envoy was chosen for the award from a pool representing Canada`s fastest growing companies.

Envoy won the award primarily due to its award winning software, DecisionRoom. DecisionRoom is a password protected web site designed for specific industries or business functions where teams can receive or deliver information, discuss and debunk issues, and make decisions without having to leave their desks.

Geoffrey Genovese, President and CEO of Envoy stated, ``At Envoy, we strive to embrace new technologies and if there is a need in the marketplace that is not currently being met; we create our own software, as in the case of DecisionRoom. We have also launched Appstreet.com; a business portal dedicated to renting software on the web. Appstreet.com is one of the first Internet sites in a market expected to be $20 billion by 2003.``

As well, Profit magazine ranked Envoy Communications the 85th fastest growing company in Canada. Genovese stated, ``It is an honor to be recognized as one of the fastest growing companies in Canada. Currently, there is a massive change happening in the market place, as corporations tear down their legacy systems and build web based applications to increase market share, reduce costs, increase customer care and get their products or services to the market faster; at the same time companies are spending record levels in marketing. Envoy is well positioned to capitalize on both of these trends.``

Envoy recently announced that it has been approved to list its shares on the Nasdaq stock market and that its 20F Registration statement has been declared effective by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). As well, Envoy has just released their second quarter financial results with gross margin up 53% and EBITDA increasing 54% for the second quarter ending March 31, 2000.

Envoy`s client list includes leading dot.coms like Juno Online Services, Inc., National Discount Brokers, PhoneFree, CDNOW, Internet Sports Network Inc. and Procurenet.com as well as e-Marketing clients like FedEx, MAC Cosmetics, Toshiba America, in addition to adidas, BASF, Benjamin Moore, Bermuda Telephone, Bridgestone/Firestone, Castrol Motor Oil, Canada Life, Honda, LCBO, PetSmart, Ontario Realty Corporation, Revy home Centres Inc., Safeway, Sprint Canada, Steelcase, and Wal-Mart.

A new breed company, Envoy (www.envoy.to) is an integrated e-Marketer, digitally driven and committed to building global brands both off and on-line. Envoy owns leading advertising and e-Marketing agencies, Communique, Devlin Applied Design, Hampel/Stefanides, in addition to The Watt Group, the largest retail design consultancy in the world, and FUSIONcreative, the branding and identity specialists.

Hi ,

hier das neuste Interview vom
ENVOY CEO Mr. Genovese:



Envoy Talks About NASDAQ, Europe & Second Half Of 2000 - May 30, 2000
By Benjamin Walters, Contributing Editor

• • •


Investors are widely anticipating approval of Envoy Communications` NASDAQ listing over the next few weeks, possibly sooner. StockHouse interviewed Geoffrey Genovese
CEO and Chairman of Envoy Communications [T.ECG] and Joseph Leeder, the company`s CFO, prior to this week`s earnings report. During the interview, Leeder forecast
an EBITDA of $10 million or about $0.53/share, this year. Leeder and Genovese also explained why EBITDA was the more accurate method of placing a value on the stock
compared to EPS, because of the difference in U.S. and Canadian accounting practices.

Envoy management continues to forecast an annualized revenue run rate for Envoy at $100 million by year end, which would rank Envoy among the largest of Canadian
advertising agencies. They discuss their largest clients and what percentage of the business the top five comprise. Also noted in this interview are locations of new Envoy
offices expected to open this year - including one in Paris, France.

In the interview, Genovese and Leeder also provide a revenue breakdown by land mass. A projection of 35 percent is given for business coming from the UK and Europe.
Canadian-originated business, percentage-wise, is expected to dwindle to 20 percent. Hinging on this aggressive expansion are the proposed acquisitions, with an estimate
by Genovese as to how many are anticipated to close.

According to Genovese, Envoy is "different" from other New Media advertising agencies because they consistently show a profit and rank among the top of their peer group
in EBITDA. He also discusses why Envoy might become a takeover candidate.

All figures denoted in this interview are in Canadian dollars.


• • •

StockHouse: At your March AGM, you had announced you would double your revenue run rate to an annualized $100 million by the end of the year. Is that still on target?

Genovese: Yes.

StockHouse: But, that will take acquisitions to reach that level.

Genovese: Yes, definitely.

StockHouse: Is it still, in this climate, realistic to make those acquisitions and reach that target?

Genovese: We`re very comfortable that we can do it.

StockHouse: Do you still expect to attain $10 million EBITDA in 2000?

Leeder: Yes, in this fiscal year. It would end up being $0.53-0.54 a share, and that represents - if you look back over the last three to four years - about 70-80% compound
growth rate.

StockHouse: What`s the EPS percentage growth been over that comparable period?

Leeder: The reason we`re looking at the EBITDA is the EPS growth rate is impacted because of the growth through acquisition-incurred
goodwill amortization, increasing those years. So, that goodwill amortization wipes out a significant portion of the growth. But when you look
at it on an EBITDA basis, and you focus on for that, back to those goodwill and non-cash charges. That`s where we`ve been focusing.

Genovese: We`re compared to US companies like Razorfish [RAZF], Agency.com [ACOM], that whole peer group. And when they
acquire companies, in the US, you`re allowed to do what they call a pooling-of-interest accounting. In Canada, we can`t use that. And so, in the US, when you do this
pooling, there`s no goodwill that hits the income statements. But in Canada, we have to write off the goodwill, and some of the goodwill is over seven years, for example, in
the technology sectors. So, we have that hit our income statements, whereas the US guys don`t. You`re not comparing apples to apples. What all the analysts look to is
the EBITDA, because that`s the equalizer. You`re [then] comparing apples with apples.

StockHouse: What about your revenue growth over the past years?

Leeder: Compounded growth rate over three years, we`re certainly over 100% and that`s in our gross margin, which is what we call our gross margin.

StockHouse: Who`s your largest account?

Genovese: Wal-Mart [WMT].

StockHouse: And the size of that account?

Leeder: About 9% of our gross margin.

StockHouse: So who are your top five clients?

Genovese/Leeder: Wal-Mart, National Discount Brokers [NDB], Castro Motor Oil, probably BASF [BASFY], and Safeway [SWY].

StockHouse: What percentage of your revenues do those five clients represent? More than 50%?

Leeder: No. Maybe a third.

StockHouse: Where will your biggest expansion be percentage-wise during the rest of the year and into 2001? Will it be in the UK, the US, or Canada?

Genovese: Back in 1998, we had basically zero business outside of Canada. And 1999, 45%, of revenue went into the US. Currently, we are running at 65-70% of our
business in the US. And when we finish our acquisition program, and we also start our European work for Wal-Mart, our split of business, we think, will be in the area of
20% in Canada, 35% in the UK and Europe, and 45% in the U.S.

StockHouse: Okay. But right now you`re running 75% in the United States?

Genovese: Between 65-70% based on the half year is our gross margin in the US. So you can see by that, with our growth and our acquisitions, we will significantly
expand outside of North America. All our Canadian companies are doing a significant amount of their business in the US marketplace, as well as, of course, our US office.

StockHouse: What`s your average account size?

Genovese: In revenue? I don`t know. We don`t look at that as being important. It`s sort of like we`ve got a number of large accounts, and
then we`ve got some project-related business with some of our Fusion business, and Devlin business, so sort of do an average account size,
we`ve never looked at that. We have a number of clients, but I think the first question, the top five accounts, are about 33% of our business,
is kind of the way we look at it. We have some large accounts, but we`re also very diversified.

StockHouse: Which do you think is going to be your strongest quarter?

Genovese: Our last half is always our strongest.

StockHouse: Do you expect that to exceed expectations, or meet expectations at this time?

Genovese: I think that we will just meet expectations.

StockHouse: What kind of PR strategy or road show strategy do you have once you come on to NASDAQ, and you`re trading on NASDAQ?

Genovese: We plan to do an extensive road show into funds, with some major brokerage firms. And we just finished a major road trip in Europe, that we think we`re raising
$10 million in this recent trip, just a couple of weeks ago. We expect that as soon as that financing closes, that we will get a lot of after-market buying in it. Obviously the
funds that wanted to invest right now, don`t want to buy out of the market, because it will increase the strike price on the financing. I think once we close that financing,
we`ll get additional buying in the market.

StockHouse: You`ve talked about having as many as six acquisitions that are in talks, or on the table. How many do you think you`ll close by the end of this calendar
year?

Genovese: We hope to close four or five of them.

StockHouse: That`s a lot of offices. How many are you going to have by the end of the year?

Genovese: We [now] have Toronto, New York, and London. We hope to have an office in San Francisco, London, obviously, and Paris.

StockHouse: Does that mean you`re expecting French business, or a French agency that you might be acquiring?

Genovese: And possibly Germany. Yes.

StockHouse: When would you expect these revenues and earnings to impact on your financials?

Genovese: In our next calendar, really. By the time we close these acquisitions, get them in the door, it`ll really be our next fiscal year, which starts October 1.

StockHouse: You guys are an earnings play. Canadian analysts view you as an earnings play, yet you have a very strong e-commerce
angle, a very strong one. And you`re in the digital media category, but you don`t seem to get all the market capitalization that comes with it.

Genovese: I think we`re a growth story. We`re a great growth story, with great earnings. In our peer group, we are number one or two in
terms of profitability.

StockHouse: For EBITDA?

Genovese: Yes. Off of our gross margin line, we are first or second in profitability. That`s from our peer group of advertising companies, and our peer group in new media.
Of course, none of the new media businesses are really that profitable, except for us.

StockHouse: It seems there`s reluctance by the analysts in Canada to give you that extra multiple, for being new media. Do you think you`ll get that out of the United
States?

Genovese: Yes, I do. One of the companies that we want to acquire is in the e-commerce back-end, system-integration part of the business. It has done some incredible
work, and I think if we`re able to complete on that acquisition, that will solidify us into that e-commerce type of company.

StockHouse: In terms of gross revenues, are you among the top ten Canadian advertising agencies?

Genovese: Yes, definitely. We would be in the top five.

StockHouse: Where do you think you`ll rank by the end of the year?

Genovese: Well, the top agency in Canada is Cossette, which is doing about $100 million in gross margin. We think we`ll be about there as well. Now, ours is on a
12-month rolling forecast.

StockHouse: Do you think it will make an impact, once you`re in the United States, where there are multi-billion dollar, global agencies? What sort of impact will Envoy
have, coming into the New York scene, and on NASDAQ. Do you think you`ll get any recognition? Will anyone notice?

Genovese: Oh, definitely, I think. I think both from a business perspective, you know the clients and customers, they`re looking for good alternatives, and our integrated
approach is proven. It helps our customers get their product out quicker, integrated communications for our customers. We`re a lot different. And I think our business model
is the only dot.com business model in our sectors that really makes a lot of sense.

StockHouse: Are you a serious enough threat that you`d be taken over?

Genovese: Our industry`s been very acquisitive. Sure, there are lots of companies that would like to acquire a $100 million revenue business that`s profitable, and has the
types of businesses that we`ve got, like Watt, a world-class retail consulting and design company; an agency like Hampel Stefanides in New York, with clients like National
Discount Brokers, Castro, BASF. There`d be lots of companies that would love to take on Envoy, and absorb those kinds of companies and clients` business into theirs.

StockHouse: With the current market correction, which has impacted a lot of Internet stocks, do you think there`s going to be a cutting back of advertising that might
impact you, for instance lessened revenues from the likes National Discount Brokers or CD Now?

Genovese: I think, that like anything, this market will have an impact. But I don`t think it`s going to impact us. We`re gaining new customers. And the dot.com accounts
that we have, like National Discount Brokers, are very strong companies. They`re profitable, on heavy growth curves. And they`re increasing their budgets. We just picked
up Juno Online [JWEB], which is a $15-20 million piece of business. Our new business wins, coupled with a strong dot.com base-we didn`t take a lot of small dot.com
clients on. A lot of them contacted us, but we only took on companies that were well financed.

StockHouse: What about the glamour accounts that make an agency a major success? Are you going to be going after the big, big accounts that are highly competitive,
or are you going to be staying in the niche that you`re in, which seems to be conservative accounts, decent sized accounts, but nothing like a $60 - $100 million account?

Genovese: Well, companies like National Discount Brokers are big pieces of business. They`re doing television, online. They spend substantial amounts of money.

StockHouse: But nothing like a Ford Motor Company [F], a General Motors [GM]...

Genovese: No, no, you`re right. But Castro Motor Oil, BASF, and Adidas in the Canadian marketplace? We`ve got our share of great accounts. What we don`t have, other
than Wal-Mart, is we don`t have any global pieces of business. That is part of the reason why we want to expand into Europe and the UK - we want to go after global pieces
of business.

StockHouse: Thank you very much.

June 1 - Robertson Stephens comments on HLTH`s acquisition of Envoy

Robertson Stephens` Sheryl Skolnick says that by buying Envoy,
Healtheon/WebMD may jump-start its stock.

Ich schätze R. Stephens sehr. Leider konnte ich den Bericht nicht öffnen. Hat den Bericht schon jemand gelesen und kann mir einen Kurzbericht zur Verfügung stellen. Inbesondere interessiert mich das Rating.

http://quicken.multexinvestor.com/Download.asp?t=31&docid=42…

[oww]

kurzweil,

das ist eine andere company (business unit von Quintiles) und nicht unsere Envoy.

XITE,

danke für das posting des Interviews. Ich denke was Genovese da so von sich gibt macht absolut Sinn. Etwas überrascht war ich, wie offen er ECG als Akquisitionsziel dargestellt hat. Haben da schon welche angeklopft????

Deutschland scheint ja zumindestens als zweite Priorität auch auf dem Europa-Expansionszettel zu sein. Ich denke aber, daß eine größere Agentur (z.B. eine der am NM gelisteten) ausgeschlossen ist. Schaun mer mal.

Gruß oww

[Almöhi]

Super ! jetzt bitte nochmal alles in Kurzform auf Deutsch ... VIELEN DANK !!!!!!

Was bedeutet Envoy wird im Smallcap Board gelistet ? ist das die kleine Schwester ?

Danke

Conference-call(Audio 30.5.):http://tibnet1.tac.net:8080/ramgen/~envoy/053000/ECG_053000.…
sehr euphorisches Statement von Genovese

ich glaube die nächsten Wochen und Monate werden für Envoy ziemlich aufregend.Nach dem ofiziellen Listing ist der Weg frei für die geplanten Aquisitionen(es werden sicher keine börsennotierten Firmen sein).Es geht Envoy nicht um den Wert oder Umsatz der Firmen, sondern ob die Strategie und das Profil ins Envoy-concept passen.
Ich erwarte keine riesigen Kurssprünge nur weil wir an der Nasdaq gelistet werden und Ratings von den großen Analysten wie DLJ,Merryl Lynch etc. werden wohl auch noch auf sich warten lassen.Dafür ist ECG aufgrund der Marktkapitalisierung und des Umsatzes noch zu klein.
Aber ich sehe eine positive Zukunft für deren Geschäft und bin begeistert wie sie es verstehen sich zu verkaufen(als teils Marketingfirma kein Wunder).Ich kenne andere gute Firmen mit guten Zukunftsaussichten und Fundamentals aber einer miesen PR-abteilung,
und diese Firmen brauchen ewig um von alleine entdeckt zu werden und ihren Stockprice positiv zu beeinflussen.Envoy ist ein aggresiver Selbstvermarkter,die warten nicht bis die Analysten sie entdecken, die gehen selbst raus und erzählen ihre Story, und ich habe keine Zweifel daran Envoy in 12-18 Monaten bei 15-25 US$ zu sehen was einer Marktkapitalisierung zwischen 285-475 Mio.US$ entspricht.
Aber warten wirs ab,momentan sieht das Marktumfeld ja sehr positiv aus ,aber all die positiven Kommentare kann man auch schon wieder als Kontra-indikator sehen .Haben wir eine kleine Bearmarketrally oder eine wirkliche Erholung?

Time will tell,
regards
steve

[LEMBERGER]

Jetzt nochmal.

Warum sollte man an den Small Cap Market gehen,
und nicht gleich an den National Market?

Oder ist das so der uebliche Weg?

[web2000]

Hallo Lemberger ,es war der Weg des geringsten Widerstandes. Wie G.G. beim Conference Call erläutert hat, hätte der Stockprice über
einen Zeitraum von mehr als 30 Tagen über 5US$ gehandelt werden müssen was ca.7,5C$ entspräche.Mit dem Nasdaq-listing verspricht,
man sich auf jedenfall mehr Investoren-Aufmerksamkeit und ist sich sicher das diese Hürde kein Problem mehr darstellt.
Sobald man diese Bedingung erfüllt bedarf es nur einer Formalität um an das Big Board zu wechseln.
Weiterhin erläuterte er, das bei der letzten Finanzierung über Canacord Sec. bereits ein US.Fund eingestiegen ist und das man ein großes
Interesse daran hat, Analysten wie von Gruntal&Co.und Bear Stearns zu einem Coverage zu bringen(übrigens kam die erste Frage beim CC
von einem Fundmanager von Gruntal&Co.!!??).siehe auch Interview von oben
StockHouse: What kind of PR strategy or road show strategy do you have once you come on to NASDAQ, and you`re trading on
NASDAQ?

Genovese: We plan to do an extensive road show into funds, with some major brokerage firms. And we just finished a major road trip
in Europe, that we think we`re raising
$10 million in this recent trip, just a couple of weeks ago. We expect that as soon as that financing closes, that we will get a lot of
after-market buying in it.


A lot of exciting things to come

geht schon, ich würde aber vorher die Kurse aus Toronto umrechnen und dann in der Nähe dieses Kurses limitieren. Manchmal schafft man es sogar, hier mit einem ordentlichen Abschlag zu kaufen (habe mal ein paar Stücke 20% billiger bekommen).

[merse]

so leute,
unser geleit an die nasdaq ging ja doch schneller als gedacht,
über die kursentwicklung der letzten tage kann man sich wahrlich nicht beschweren,
wir sollten jetzt wohl nicht den fehler machen und glauben, es ginge nur noch gen norden,
vor alleem heute sieht man am intraday-chart die momentan hohe volatilität,
nichts desto trotz heißt es weiterhin augen zu und durch,
die angekündigte roadshow im zuge des nasdaq-gangs wird hoffentlich alsbald kommen,
ebenso erwarten wir gespannt die angekündigten aquisitionen,

allen, die sich hier so rege an der diskussion über envoy beteiligen, sei gedankt,
die information und der austausch sollen im vordergrund stehen, nur dann ist eine gute qualität gewährleistet,

merci, und auf gute geschäfte
merse

an oww: ich könnte mir vorstellen, dass die heutigen 10 $ ein fehler bei der umrechnung von CAN-$ in US-$ sein könnten,
an oww: du warst doch auch einer der ersten in der in der icon medialab-familie, sollten wir nicht die alten haudegen wie le chef oder jmb auf unsere kleine envoy aufmerksam machen?

[lOOPO]

Hallo zusammen (und insbesondere oww),

na klar, wer Icon hat, sollte auch Envoy haben

Habe nicht zu wenig investiert (nachdem vor 2-3 Monaten mal welche in Berlin und München für ca. 3,70 ideal zum Verbilligen waren).

Gestern in mein US-Depot auch nochmal bei 6 eingekauft!

Bin unverändert sehr zuversichtlich, sollte locker ein 100%-er werden, wenn man etwas Geduld hat (falls die überhaupt noch jemand hat

Viel Erfolg, lOOPO.

Schaut mal im Ragbull board vorbei.(Kürzel ECGI)IM Interview sagte GG (chairman)
er wolle mit einem großen Bang in die Nasdaq starten.
Vertrauliche Sachen seien unterzeichnet...Das hört sich vielleicht gut
an.....

[Buzzer]

Hallo Envoyaner,
nun ist es also soweit. Das Nasdaq-listing ist durch.
Und die derzeitige Kursentwicklung läßt uns positiv in die Zukunft blicken.
Envoy ist erst am Anfang Ihres langen Weges.
Wie merse bereits im Vorthread erwähnt hat, wird die Roadshow und die
bereits angekündigten Aquisitionen die zweite Rakete zünden.
Wollt Ihr Euren Freunden was gutes tun ?
Dann solltet Ihr statt Geburtstagsgeschenken, Euren Freunden mal
ein kleinen Envoy-Wink geben. Sie werden es Euch danken.
Doch nun genug mit den Lobeshymnen.
Gute Geschäfte !!!!!


P.S.: Ich jedenfall danke meinem Freund Onkel B. für den Envoy-Wink !!!!
Merse,merse merse.

Hallo lOOPO,

ich glaube unsere Schnittmenge ist noch größer, habe ich Dich nicht neulich in einem der 2 Mio. OTI-Threads gesehen? Gute Firma, gutes Management, grottenschlechte Diskussionskultur. Das ist hier ja zum Glück besser. lOOPO, ich freue mich übrigens, daß Du bei der Suche nach den ungeschliffenen Diamanten und unentdeckten Perlen auf die gleichen Werte stößt wie ich, denn ich schätze deine sachliche Distanz und deine Investmentphilosophie. Insofern sehe ich das auch als Bestätigung für meine stock pickings. Genug Süßholz.

Hallo merse,

mensch, ist ja ein ganzer Sack voll alter Bekannter von IMLA hier . Grunsätzlich finde ich die Idee, ein bißchen PR/IR für ECGI zu machen nicht übel. Aber ich finde es immer nervig, wenn Threads anderer Aktien zum "pushen" benutzt werden. jmb, le chef etc. kennen die Envoy ohnehin schon (war schon einmal eine Diskussion im IMLA thread).

Zu den 10$: da spielt wohl der market maker ein Spielchen. Aktuell hat er einen ask von 20$, you kidding?

Noch was interessantes: unter www.cgocable.net/~gc22 findet ihr eine Bewertung von Envoy nach DCF bei 5% und 30% Wachstum järlich. Danach ist der faire Unternehenswert irgendwo zwischen 13 und 28 US$. Nette Spielerei.

In den amerikanischen Boards wird Envoy übrigens sehr aktiv diskutiert (ragingbull 45 postings seit gestern).

Wer nämlich mit h schreibt ist dämlich.
Wer jährlich ohne h schreibt, schreibt spärlich.

[Gina Marie]

Hi oww,

ich glaube nicht, dass du dämlich bist, auch wenn du "nämlich" selber mit "h" schreibst.

Sollte man Envoy nicht in Deutschland ein wenig bekannter machen? Wenn schon an den Börsenplätzen nichts los ist, dann wenigstens in den Foren...

Ciao

Hallo Gina Marie, ich würde nie nähmlich mit h schreiben Zum Bekanntmachen von Envoy habe ich meine Meinung unten geäußert.

Es gibt news, nix dolles, nur ein bißchen Kurspflege und pampern zum Nasdaq-Debut:

Envoy Group Company partners with TEDCity
FUSIONCreative to Inspire Worlds Most Prolific Thinkers
TORONTO, June 7 /CNW/ - Geoff Genovese, President and CEO of the Envoy Communications Group (NASDAQ: ECGI/TSE:ECG), today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, FUSIONcreative, has partnered with TEDCity for this year`s "Meeting of the Minds" in Toronto to be held from June 7th to 10th. FUSIONcreative was selected as TEDCity`s design and brand building partner after an extensive search.
TEDCity is a forum that brings together the worlds greatest thinkers in the fields of technology, entertainment and design to discuss the merging of these mediums and how this convergence impacts current business practices. Participants in this year`s TEDCity include: former Prime Minister, John Turner; George Cope, CEO of Clearnet Communications; Isabel Hoffmann, CEO of Digital Media Studios; Firoz Rasul, CEO of Ballard Power Systems; Heather Reisman, CEO of Indigo Books; and cyber-guru, Don Tapscott.

As TEDCity`s corporate partner, FUSIONcreative is responsible for branding the world renowned event through the design of print and web based advertising, direct mail pieces, venue signage and communications.

"To design and brand an event as big and as complex as TEDCity is a powerful endorsement of our understanding of what it takes to build marquee brands both off and on-line," said Geoff Genovese, CEO of Envoy.

"TEDCity is a great opportunity for us to demonstrate our ability to capture and animate a multidimensional brand," said Paul Haft, President of FUSIONcreative. "Our partnership will allow us to highlight our ability to animate a brand that reflects the trend toward the convergence of technology, entertainment and design."

Toronto-based FUSIONcreative is part of the Envoy Communications Group. FUSIONcreative is a global branding and design firm that specializes in visual identity and corporate communications systems.

[lOOPO]

Hallo oww,

danke für die Blumen! Hab mich mit ähnlicher Stückzahl wie damals bei Icon eingedeckt! Envoy ist für mich mein diesjähriger Langfristfavorit. Wenn die auch so läuft wie meine früheren, sollte es wieder ein xxx-%ter auf Sicht von mind. einem Jahr werden.
offtopic: Bei OTI bin ich derzeit skeptisch, kann leicht wieder auf unter 17 zurückfallen, dann steig ich wieder ein.

20$-ask bei Envoy durch einen Makler? Das kann nicht sein, vermutlich seht ihr die zeitweise einzige sell-order im Island-Orderbuch: Dort versucht einer, 200 Stücke für 20$ loszuwerden. Vielleicht vertippt sich ja einer beim Limit.

Gruß, lOOPO.

[oww]

Hallo lOOPO,

OT: habe meine OTI zu 5,02 € in den Büchern, d.h. da warte ich die Speku ab.

Sehe Envoy auch als mittel- bis langfristiges Engagement, wie bei IMLA gefällt mir das Management gut. Habe zwar noch mit keinem direkt gesprochen, aber was GG in Interviews so von sich gibt macht Sinn. Und jetzt wo NAZ listing steht wurden ja die nächsten Akquisitionen angekündigt, das gibt auch noch einmal Bewegung.


Gruß oww

[merse]

hi an alle,
die erste euphorie scheint auch schon fast wieder vorbei zu sein, so schnell kann es gehen,
eines vorausgeschickt, ich bin natürlich weiter sehr optimistisch,
jedoch habe ich mir mal die zahlen fürs zweite quartal (bis 31.03.00) etwas genauer angesehen,
im vergleich zum ersten quartal (bis 31.12.99) - geschäftsjahr ist bei envoy abweichend vom kalenderjahr! - ist der umsatz nur um etwa 5,5 % gestiegen, nichts desto trotz auf rekordniveau,
jedoch wird das ein grund dafür sein, warum die leute die geringe bewertung bei envoy als gerechtfertigt erachten,
g.g. hat in seinem interview auch betont, dass ein stärkeres wachstum hauptsächlich durch aquisitionen stattfinden wird,
das wird daher abzuwarten sein,
eure meinungen?

an buzzer: ich hatte mit einem verstecktem wink gerechnet, nicht mit einem zaunpfahl, trotzdem bitte!
an oww: es wäre nicht meine absicht gewesen, unsere envoy im icon-board zu pushen, es sollte lediglich eine info an unsere -alte- familie sein, aber wenn sie, wie du sagst, envoy schon kennen, hat sich das natürlich erledigt,

auf mehr,
merse

[XITE]

Hi,

ich bin seit längerem von ENVOY überzeugt und investiert ,
aber mein absoluter
Favorit ist zur Zeit ELCOTEQ aus Finnland.

Die hatten weltweit mit das grösste Umsatzwachstum 1.Qu. 2000 und sind
gleichzeitig die billigst High-Tech Aktie die ich kenne.

ELCOTEQ macht Handybauteile , Displays ... , hat ca. 9000 Mitarbeiter
und machen 92 % ihrers Umsatzes mit NOKIA und ERICSSON.

Hier die Zahlen :

Umsatz :
=======
1.Qu. 99 - 117 Mio Euro
99 gesamt : 753 Mio Euro
1.Qu. 00 - 453 Mio Euro

d.h. ein Plus von 272 % Umsatzwachstum
1.Qu 99 - 1 Qu. 00

Gewinn:
1.Qu. 200 : 0,38 Euro / pro Aktie

Bei Kursen von ca. 30 Euro ist aktuell ein
KGV = 20


Börsenwert / Mitarbeiter 0,16 Mio. Euro
Aktienanzahl: 23.3 Mio. Stück
Börsenbewertung: 700 Mio. Euro
Prognose Umsatz 00 : 2.000 Mio Euro
=> Kurs/Umsatz : 0, 29

Mit den neuen Handys mit bessern Displays für
WAP GPRS UMTS werden die sicher noch mehr wachsen.
Denn NOKIA hat z.B die Displayfertigung an ELCOTEQ
verkauft.

Vielleicht kennt jemand noch mehr solcher Geheimtipps.

``Gilchrist has brand equity in the European marketplace, and a strong client roster. It is a good fit with The Watt Group,`` said Don
Watt, Chairman of The Watt Group. ``The combination of our respective talents will enhance Watt`s ability to help a growing list
of global clients create, develop and manage their brands.``
