Düsseldorf, August 16, 2022
The first half-year 2022 was extremely positive for the Group. All operative segments developed as planned. Profitability in the most important segments received a sustainable boost and the financial strength of the Group improved substantially.
In June, ecotel transfered usage rights for Internet resources. After deduction of transaction costs, the result was a one-off effect of € 14.9 before taxes, or € 11.0 million after taxes. This one-off revenue is reported in the other operating income. While revenue and gross profit were therefore not affected, the effect on EBITDA, EBIT, consolidated profit and earnings per share was considerable. The figures reported in the following are generally adjusted to account for this one-off effect.
Consolidated revenue grew by € 17.3 million to € 58.9 million. This growth was achieved by the »ecotel Wholesale« segment with € 17.0 million and the »easybell« segment with € 1.3 million. The »nacamar« (€ -0.7 million) and »ecotel Business Solutions« segments (€ -0.3 million) developed according to plan in the first half-year.
This revenue growth with a simultaneous rise in earnings increased consolidated gross profit by € 2.1 million to € 23.9 million. This increase was possible primarily due to the positive developments at »easybell« (€ +1.6 million) and in the »ecotel Business Solutions« segment (€ +0.9 million).
