SNP Schneider-Neureither & Partner AG at its AGM held on May 16, 2013, approved a dividend payment of EUR 0.72 per share which represents a decline on the previous year. The total amount to be paid out amounts to EUR 0.89 million, which constitutes roughly 50% of distributable net income.

SNP Schneider-Neureither & Partner AG reported consolidated earnings results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2013. For the quarter, the company reported consolidated sales revenues of EUR 5.4 million compared to EUR 7.31 million a year ago. The weak order situation and the higher cost base following the expansion of the company's in-house development, sales and marketing activities meant that earnings were also negative. Negative EBIT was EUR 0.841 million compared to EBIT of EUR 1.2 million a year ago. Net loss for the period after minority interests was EUR 0.6 million compared to net income for the period after minority interests of EUR 0.75 million a year ago. Loss per share was EUR 0.47 compared to earnings per share of EUR 0.66 a year ago. Earnings additionally impacted by higher fixed costs. LBITDA was EUR 0.70 million against EBITDA of EUR 1.4 million a year ago. The executive board expects to see an upturn in business development via partner and direct sales. Despite the muted performance in the first quarter, it is still forecasting double-digit revenue growth and an EBIT margin of 14% to 18% for the 2013 financial year as a whole.

SNP Schneider-Neureither & Partner AG reported consolidated earnings results for 2012. For the period, the company reported consolidated sales revenues of EUR 27.2 million compared to EUR 26.6 million a year ago. In particular sales of SNP Transformation Backbone(R) posted strong growth. The postponement of decisions about the award of large-volume, high-margin software agreements and the increase in expenses for the expansion in the workforce and the intensification of marketing and sales activities led to a reduction in the EBIT margin compared with the previous year from 17.5% to 10.9%. In absolute terms EBIT of EUR 3.0 million was achieved in 2012 compared to EUR 4.7 million a year ago. Consolidated net income was EUR 1.9 million compared to EUR 3.1 million a year ago. Earnings per share were EUR 1.57 (diluted and undiluted) compared to EUR 2.64 a year ago. At present, business performance remains below expectations in the first quarter of 2013. The first quarter is traditionally weaker than subsequent quarters, particularly as far as consultancy is concerned. The start of the current financial year is characterised by perceptible restraint among customers, which has led to significantly lower utilisation of the consultants. In addition, contrary to the original expectations, large-volume orders postponed at the end of last year have not yet been awarded. As a result, a sharp fall in sales revenues compared with the previous year will be seen in the first quarter of 2013. At the same time, the expansion in capacity in development and marketing in particular and investment will lead, to EBIT being significantly negative, at about EUR 1 million, in the first quarter of 2013. The company is assuming a double-digit growth in sales and an EBIT margin of 14-18% for the 2013 financial year despite the subdued business performance in the first quarter of 2013.
