Walldorf, October 22, 2012: According to provisional figures for the first nine months of 2012, REALTECH AG recorded a 2 % increase in group revenue at EUR 29.1 million (first nine months of 2011: EUR 28.6 million). Revenue in the Consulting business area increased by 5 % to EUR 20.2 million (EUR 19.3 million). Software revenue decreased by 4 % to EUR 8.9 million (EUR 9.2 million).

Operating profit (EBIT) improved to EUR 0.0 million compared to minus EUR 0.4 million in the previous year. This was due, in particular, to increased operating profit in Japan, Germany and New Zealand, linked to improved perfor-mance in the Consulting segment. A reduction in software sales year-on-year counteracted this positive development.

Profit for the year decreased from EUR 0.3 million to minus EUR 0.7 million, cor-responding to earnings per share of minus EUR 0.13 compared to EUR 0.05 in the previous year. Net liquidity was EUR 10.4 million at the end of Septem-ber 2012, compared to EUR 11.5 million at the end of last September.

3rd Quarter 2012:
Group revenue was on a par with the previous year at EUR 10.2 million (third quarter of 2011: EUR 10.2 million). This included a 6 % increase in Consulting revenue to EUR 7.4 million (EUR 7.0 million). Software revenue decreased by 11 % to EUR 2.8 million (EUR 3.2 million).

At the same time, operating profit increased year-on-year to EUR 0.9 million (EUR 0.3 million). Profit for the year rose to EUR 0.8 million (EUR minus 0.1 million), resulting in earnings per share of EUR 0.15 (minus EUR 0.02).

The Executive Board confirms its assessment of July 2012 and anticipates posi-tive operating profit for the current fiscal year.

REALTECH will be publishing its quarterly report for Q3/2012 on November 6, 2012.
