Essen (ots Ad hoc-Service) -

Ad hoc-announcement edited and sent by DGAP. The sender is solely
responsible for the contents of this announcement.
In the business year 2000, secunet Security Networks AG have
increased their sales by 61% to EUR 18.0 million (previous year EUR
11.1 million). Thus the company has grown in a considerably higher
degree than the entire market for IT security. With sales of EUR 7.0
million the very strong fourth quarter 2000 has again played a
decisive role in this development. This corresponds to an increase of
63% as compared to the fourth quarter 1999 with sales amounting to
EUR 4.3 million.
In the business year 2000 secunet achieved an EBIT of EUR 5.7
million. Thus the EBIT loss has increased by 24% as compared to the
previous year where the EBIT amounted to EUR 4.6 million (including
the IPO costs amounting to EUR 2.4 million). Earnings for the year
2000 after interest and taxes amount to EUR -3.5 million. This
corresponds to earnings per share of EUR 0.54. The establishment of
international locations, the setting-up of a training centre, and the
large increases in personnel figure prominently on the cost side. Due
to these investments secunet is in a very good position to carry on
with achieving sales increases exceeding 40% and to reach
profitability in the year 2001.
These results are preliminary. The final results will be presented
in the Press Conference on March 20, 2001. For further information
