Intake of new orders exceeds the figures of the last quarter by 400 %
With sales of 3.8 million DM in the first quarter 2000 DataDesign AG increased its turnover by 40 % compared to the corresponding quarter of the previous year and consequently exceeds the present planning. The intake of new orders shows the positive business development even more clearly: with 6.9 million DM the order volume was quadrupled in comparison with the three previous months and thus reaches a figure representing more than 70 % of the total annual order volume of the previous year. Outstanding offers amounting to approximately 10 million DM - this equals an increase of 188 % with respect to the fourth quarter 1999 - as well as additional requests for proposals worth 16 million DM confirm this positive trend and promise a very successful business year 2000. Therefore a further increase in turnover to more than 6 million DM is planned for the second quarter and most of it is already secured.
The building up of a worldwide distribution partner network, which was consistently driven forward, enables the company to continue to grow successfully. For the total year 2000 an increase in turnover of 30 million DM is planned, which does not include acquisitions and key shareholdings. The preliminary loss for the period was reduced according to plan with respect to the fourth quarter 1999 by 2.5 million DM to 4.1 million DM. In the second half of the year DataDesign AG will thus reprise the success of the previous years and will certainly generate profit during the remaining quarters.
