Ad hoc-announcement. The sender is solely responsible for the contents of this announcement.
With sales revenues amounting to 5.2 million DM in the first quarter of 2001, DataDesign AG was able to better last year's performance by 38% in spite of reducing staff from 183 to 149 employees. License and service revenues increased from 2.2 million DM to 4.6 million DM, which spells even steeper growth of 113%. Even in the face of one-off costs in the amount of some 1.3 million DM that the company incurred for optimization measures, the quarterly result improved from negative 4.1 million DM in the previous year to negative 2.6 million DM this year. Cost reduction measures were implemented in the first quarter. These will have a significant effect on future performance, particularly during the second quarter. By the end of the year, these measures are expected to yield savings in the amount of 5.3 million DM. Incoming orders for the first quarter tallied to 7.4 million DM, yet again topping previous years' figures. The backlog of orders currently amounts to 7.5 million DM.
