DGAP-News: Vtion Wireless Technology AG / Key word(s): Quarter Results Vtion Wireless Technology maintains profitable despite of lower revenues 28.05.2014 / 08:26 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Results Q1 2014 Vtion Wireless Technology maintains profitable despite of lower revenues - Revenues of 10.95 million Euros decreased by 8% compared to Q1 2013 - EBIT margin remains at 6% - Guidance for 2014 confirmed with revenues of at least 60 million Euros and an EBIT margin of approximately 8% - Dividend policy will be continued Frankfurt, May 28, 2014. Vtion Wireless Technology AG (Vtion), one of the leading suppliers of wireless data solutions for mobile computing in China, generated revenues of 10.95 million Euros in the first quarter 2014. That corresponds to a decrease of 8% compared to the reporting period in the previous year. While the EBIT margin of 6% stayed consistent, the gross profit margin increased by 2 percentage points within a year up to 20%. Due to a lean cost structure and operational efficiency, Vtion was able to maintain a strong gross profit margin in the first three months 2014 despite a difficult operating environment marked by decreasing sales prices in its core business segment. The sales of wireless data terminals contributed 9.14 million Euros to the total revenues in Q1 2014. The more customized wireless data cards designed for local tax bureaus accounted for 19% of the total revenues. The company plans to develop and promote this product around different Chinese provinces in the remainder of 2014. In the industry-specific computing solutions segment, the company has now reached a total number of nine clients. The revenues from this business area slightly increased in the first quarter 2014 but achieved only a small part of the total revenues. Vtion merged the industry-specific computing solutions business into the wholly owned subsidiary Vtion Anzhuo in order to optimize the resources allocation and create more value in future. Vtion Anzhuo currently offers a total amount of 9,847 applications via 'Vmarket' and partner sales platforms. This decline of number of applications was primarily because the company is seeking to reduce its application offerings to focus on the high-quality applications that generate revenue, and has therefore jettisoned a number of free downloads that were previously offered on the applications store. Vtion expects results to improve over the course of the remainder of the year, given that the company's results are typically weaker in the first quarter of the year compared to later quarters. For 2014 Vtion confirms the results slightly above the level of the previous year with revenues of at least 60 million Euros and a consistent EBIT. Dividend payment of 0.054 Euros per share suggested to AGM Vtion will hold its Annual General Meeting (AGM) on June 25, 2014. The management will recommend the AGM a dividend payment on the first business day after the AGM equivalent to 15 per cent of the company's net profit in 2013. This corresponds to a dividend of 0.054 Euro per share and is consistent with the company's past dividend practice.
