Vectron Systems AG: Half-year results in line with expectations
Münster, 31 August 2018 - Vectron Systems AG, leading solutions provider of POS systems in the catering trade, has published figures for the first half of 2018 (30.06.). Sales of POS systems are determined by the various phases of fiscal legislation relating to them. The first phase of these guidelines was the "Principles for the proper management and storage of books, records and documents in electronic form and for data access" (GoBD). These require individual recording of cash register data and have had a positive impact on the 2016 and mid-2017 financial years. Even greater effects can be expected for the years 2019/2020, when the second phase of the "Act on the Protection against Manipulation of Digital Basic Records" comes into force on January 1, 2020. As anticipated, the fiscal year 2018 has so far developed much more moderately as a transitional year. In the first six months of 2018, sales declined by around 28 percent to a total of around EUR 13.9m. This led to a half-year loss of around EUR 0.8m (previous year: around EUR +1.9m). As the previous year was characterized by high demand due to the new regulations, comparability is severely impaired. In addition, the result was burdened by one-off costs of EUR 0.8m, primarily for consulting services in connection with the new business segments. Here, the company is developing additional new digital business models that enable considerable additional revenue per POS system. The complete half-year report will be published simultaneously at www.vectron.de in the Investor Relations section.
