'- Efficiency enhancement program successfully completed
- EBITDA rises markedly to € 1.6 m (previous year: € 624K)
- Group revenue at around € 50m (previous year € 77m) due to reduced consolidation scope
Munich, 11 February 2016 – Ecommerce Alliance AG (ISIN DE000A12UK08), quoted on the Entry Standard of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, presents solid annual results. According to provisional calculations, the operating result (EBITDA) for fiscal year 2015 rose significantly to € 1.6 m after € 624K in the previous year. In particular, the Brands and Services segments contributed to the almost tripled positive result. Due to the smaller consolidation scope compared to the previous year, group revenue in the reporting period declined to around € 50m (previous year € 77m). The reduction in revenue results from the deconsolidation of wap-telecom GmbH in fiscal year 2015.
“It was a challenging fiscal year with an ambitious efficiency and profitability enhancement program. But it can now be seen that we were successful: we have almost tripled our profitability,” explains Daniel Wild, CEO of Ecommerce Alliance AG. The company had previously realigned its business model and focused on a Buy & Build strategy. This is now to be consistently further implemented so that the company can grow profitably in the long term. “Our focus in the current fiscal year lies on further developing the innovative and profitable Services and Brands divisions by means of organic growth and strengthening them for the future by means of acquisitions,” Daniel Wild continues.
An outlook on the current fiscal year will be presented with the release of the 2015 Annual Report in May 2016.
