CEO´s comments
The transformation towards increased recurring revenue continues. Third quarter reached a record high percentage – 78,5 %, compared to 73,2 % in the corresponding period last year. Revenue continues to increase through the year's acquisitions but mainly the profit increases. Before acquisition related costs the profit increases for the period by 44 % and accumulated for the period January - September by 58 %.

The increase in earnings for the third quarter is due to improved results in the business areas Real Estate and Energy as well as a positive contribution from the new business areas Health and Auto. Finance & Insurance has a negative result due to the Danish Aloc charging full labor costs in the third quarter despite the holiday period, also the revenue distribution in their case is more service oriented than in the Group as a whole.

Earnings were also charged with the integration costs of the new acquisitions, which among other things includes establishment of common reporting systems and an integrated IT environment. The integration process, which in the current situation typically can last for a couple of quarters, is constantly improving for each new acquisition with the goal to be streamlined and shortened in future.

Vitec’s business model with a high percentage of recurring revenue reduces the risk and operating in several niches and several countries maintains a good diversification of the risk.

With continuous acquisitions of mature companies and increasing recurring revenue, Vitec continues on the chosen path to act in several independent and specialized niches to achieve sustainable profitable growth.

Lars Stenlund, CEO
