Now that stability has been restored within the Group, REALTECH is currently undergoing a period of transformation. The company is fundamentally reshaping its product portfolio - in preparation for the intensified competition in a digital world that continues to be highly dynamic. Simultaneous innovations such as in-memory, big data, social media, cloud computing, mobile technologies, and Industry 4.0, are triggering changes in many organizations. We see this change as an opportunity that we will exploit with in a determined and strategic manner. After all, REALTECH knows the potential of the new technologies and supports IT managers in evaluating them to the benefit of their own corporate strategies and using them in a profitable manner. Now to the figures: in the first half of 2015, REALTECH AG recorded Group revenue of EUR 17.8 million, which was 5 % higher than in the previous year (first half of 2014: EUR 16.9 million). At the same time, Consulting revenue rose by 9 % to EUR 12.6 million. This was primarily due to the improved capacity utilization of our consultants in Germany and abroad. Revenue in the Software segment remained on par with the previous year at EUR 5.3 million. We improved operating profit (EBIT) from minus EUR 1.3 million to minus EUR 0.3 million and the EBITDA from minus EUR 0.7 to plus EUR 0.1 million. Net income on June 30, 2015 rose from minus EUR 1.5 million to minus EUR 0.6 million compared with the first six months of the previous year. This results in earnings per share of minus EUR 0.11 following minus EUR 0.28 in the previous year. On the key date of June 30, 2015, REALTECH had 302 employees (June 30, 2014: 342). In Germany, there were 217 employees (262). With the continued renewal of our company, which has a healthy foundation, we aim to return to the forefront of our industry. We are continuing 2015's new start with sound judgment, prudence and a clear focus on the future. On this basis, the Executive Board continues to expect operating profit (EBIT) for the 2015 fiscal year to improve in a range between EUR 0.0 million and EUR 1.0 million. REALTECH will be publishing its report on the first half of 2015 on August 6, 2015.
