DGAP-Adhoc: SINNERSCHRADER: A WEAK COURSE OF BUSINESS IN THE SECOND QUARTER MAKES AN ADJUSTMENT OF THE GUIDANCE FOR FISCAL 2014/2015 NECESSARY


 
SinnerSchrader AG / Key word(s): Change in Forecast/Quarter Results 27.03.2015 08:17 Dissemination of an Ad hoc announcement according to § 15 WpHG, transmitted by DGAP - a service of EQS Group AG. The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the second quarter 2014/2015 (December 2014 till February 2015) business of the SinnerSchrader-Group developed below expectations especially in the interactive marketing segment both with new and existing clients. After having grown organically by some 34 per cent in the previous financial year, the consolidation of business takes longer than expected. According to preliminary figures for the second quarter 2014/2015, quarterly revenues fell short of the level reached in the previous year's quarter and operating earnings (EBITA) came out slightly negative. Due to that development, SinnerSchrader will not be able to meet its guidance for the entire year 2014/2015. Although a pick-up in business could be felt with the beginning of the second half of the financial year, based on current information revenues and operating earnings will come out slightly below previous year's levels of 48.6 million Euro and 3.06 million Euro, respectively. SinnerSchrader will report on the second quarter as well as on the first half year with a detailed forecast for the entire financial year 2014/2015 on 15 April 2015. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Information and Explaination of the Issuer to this News: ABOUT SINNERSCHRADER SinnerSchrader is one of Europe's leading digital agencies.
