- Consolidated sales increased by 12 per cent to EUR 64.3 million
- Operating income up by around 6 per cent to EUR 5.6 million
- Net income up 5 per cent to EUR 5.1 million
- Attractive dividend of EUR 0.38 proposed
- Outlook for 2017: slight rise in sales and EBIT
The SYZYGY Group has achieved double-digit growth for the fifth year in
succession, posting the best annual results since the agency was
established. The provisional figures published on January 24, 2017 have now
been confirmed and approved by the Supervisory Board. Sales increased by 12
per cent to EUR 64.3 million, while operating income rose by around 6 per
cent to EUR 5.6 million. Financial income amounted to EUR 1.3 million. Net
income after taxes was EUR 5.1 million (+5%), corresponding to earnings per
share of EUR 0.39 (+5%).
Due to this buoyant growth and the continuing strong cash position, the
Management Board and Supervisory Board of SYZYGY AG have decided to propose
a dividend of EUR 0.38 per share for the 2016 financial year at the Annual
General Meeting scheduled for June 30, 2017.
Liquid funds and securities totalled EUR 22.2 million at the balance sheet
date, equivalent to EUR 1.73 per share.
Outlook for 2017: modest increase in sales and EBIT
The SYZYGY Group expects to increase its sales again in the current
financial year. SYZYGY is forecasting only a modest rise in sales in the
lower single-digit range due to the uncertainty in the UK arising from the
current lack of clarity around the outcome of Brexit, and political and
economic uncertainty in the US. Operating income (EBIT) will rise slightly
ahead of sales. All the individual segments will contribute in roughly equal
measure to this growth. Any acquisitions, which are part of the SYZYGY
Group's growth strategy, may affect these forecasts positively or
negatively.
