For the first quarter of 2014, the company reported an increase in revenue of around 14.4% to EUR 7.5 million (first quarter of 2013: EUR 6.6 million). This development was supported by a stable economy during the reporting period. The profit/loss before taxes (operating result) was EUR -0.3 million in the first quarter of 2014, after a balanced result in the same quarter of the previous year. The negative operating result was due primarily to restructuring costs, including consultancy costs and non-recurring expenses for the capital increase. This is also reflected in EBITDA, which amounted to EUR 0.0 million in the first quarter of 2014. In the same period of the previous year, this was plus EUR 0.3 million. Cash flow from operating activities in the first three months of business year 2014 was EUR -1.1 million, compared with EUR -0.3 million in the reporting period of the previous year. This was also mainly due to restructuring costs. The gross margin was increased slightly in the first quarter of 2014 by 1.2% to 68.8 percentage points. In the same period of the previous year, this was 67.6 percentage points.
