Consolidated revenues under IFRS were down 5.1% in 2013, from EUR41.9 million in the prior year to EUR39.8 million, according to preliminary figures. With these figures, UMS AG did not reach its forecast for fiscal year 2013. The reasons include the declining euro value of the U.S. dollar and an ongoing uncertainty of the customers especially in urological segment during the year. Additional sales of equipment planned for 2013 were postponed. A particular difficulty in the last months of fiscal 2013 was the government shut-down in the United States. Thanks to its excellent capitalization and the positive outlook for the current fiscal year 2014, UMS AG intends to again distribute an attractive dividend of 55 cents per share for 2013. The Company also plans to maintain its shareholder-friendly dividend policy for the coming years. The Management Board and the Supervisory Board of UMS AG plan to propose an unchanged dividend of 55 cents per share to the annual shareholders' meeting to be held on June 4, 2014 in Hamburg. The distribution will come from the tax contribution account and will be paid without withholding taxes. For the current fiscal year 2014, UMS expects revenues to increase and earnings to improve. However, this assumption is based on an increasing acceptance of the healthcare reform resulting in less uncertainty in the market.
