9-month report
07.11.2007
init innovation in traffic systems AG has finished yet another record
quarter. From July to the end of September, quarterly sales for the 
company virtually doubled from 7.8 mio. EUR in the previous year to 
15.1 mio. EUR. At the same time, the final figures now available 
revealed an increase in gross profit on sales from 2.8 to 5.5 mio. 
EUR. The earnings before interest and taxes on income (EBIT) in the 
same period more than trebled from 1.0 to 3.3 mio. EUR. Even more 
significant was the increase in net earnings for the period, rising 
to 2.6 mio. EUR, after 0.6 mio. EUR in the previous year. This 
corresponds to earnings per share of 0.26 EUR (Q3 2006: 0.07 EUR).
After the first nine months of fiscal 2007, the Karlsruhe-based 
telematics specialist for buses and light railways thus managed to 
exceed earlier projections. Over the nine-month period, revenues 
improved by 40 percent on the previous year to 34.5 mio. EUR (2006: 
24.6 mio. EUR). The EBIT rose by around 36 percent to 4.5 mio. EUR 
(2006: 3.3 mio. EUR), while the consolidated surplus increased by 50 
percent to 3.4 mio. EUR (2006: 2.2 mio. EUR). With earnings per share
of 0.35 EUR (end of September 2006: 0.23 EUR) init matched the 
prior-year level for the full 2006 fiscal year (0,36 EUR) after only 
nine months.
In the third quarter, it was predominantly the start of hardware 
deliveries for major projects in New York and Vancouver that ensured 
above-average earnings growth. For the same reason, init again 
expects sales in the fourth quarter to range in the two-digit 
millions. Thus, the sales target set for 2007 of some 45 mio. EUR 
(2006: 36.3 mio. EUR), with earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT)
of 6.5 mio. EUR (2006: 5.6 mio. EUR), will probably, if not certainly
be reached.
According to the projections of the Managing Board, the company is 
set for above-average growth in 2008. This is confirmed not only by 
the current order volume of 90.1 mio. EUR (end of September 2006: 
52.9 mio. EUR) but also by promising invitations to tender, such as 
in Australia and Europe, are also a likely contributing factor for 
init.
