. Sales up 144 percent on last year's figure . Membership figures
up 348 per cent . Extensive restructuring lays foundation for
continued growth
DCI AG continued to prosper during the first nine months of 2000.
At 7.353 million euros, sales were up 144 percent on the previous
year's figure. Membership figures were subject to an even sharper
rise, up 348 percent at 21,092. Based on US-GAAP, the operating
income was posted at minus 11.8 million euros and the net income at
minus 6.2 million euros. Start-up investments and one-off items of
expenditure impacted negatively on this result. Consulting services
in particular drove up the level of one- off outlays. DCI called in
external consultants to assist it in its restructuring measures aimed
at ensuring a solid foundation for sustained growth. The
WebTradeCenter recorded 27,704 purchase requests between January and
September 2000. This represents a 151 percent increase on the same
period in 1999. The volume of trade handled by DCI's virtual
marketplace rose by 160 percent to a total of 299 million euros. With
3.2 million page hits per month, the WebTradeCenter portal enjoys
growing popularity. The results posted for the first three quarters
of 2000 bear testimony to the success of DCI's concerted growth
strategy. Cash and cash equivalents in excess of 58 million euros
provide a secure financial basis for continued expansion.
