euNetworks presenteert tweedekwartaalcijfers 2015

LONDEN–(BUSINESS WIRE)– euNetworks Group Limited, een Europese aanbieder van breedbandinfrastructuur, heeft zijn tweedekwartaalcijfers bekendgemaakt. Het bedrijf behaalde in de drie maanden die eindigden op 30 juni 2015 een omzet van 796 duizend euro uit de verkoop van zijn producten, waarmee de verkoop met 1 procent groeide ten opzichte van het eerste kwartaal. De omzet uit service-installaties steeg ook tot een recordhoogte en lag 32 procent hoger dan in het eerste kwartaal van 2015 en 17 procent hoger dan in het tweede kwartaal van 2014. Het aantal ontkoppelingen steeg ook licht, maar lag in lijn met de verwachtingen. Van alle ontkoppelingen had 41 procent te maken met een vervangende dienst, wat erop wijst dat klanten diensten bij euNetworks upgraden. Gemiddeld lag het percentage klanten dat meteen overstapte naar een andere aanbieder op 1,1 procent, wat iets hoger is dan de 1 procent in het vorige kwartaal maar in lijn ligt met het gemiddelde van 2014. De marginale inkomsten uit diensten bedroegen in het tweede kwartaal 240 duizend euro, wat 15 procent hoger is dan de marginale inkomsten in het eerste kwartaal van 2015. De blijvend sterke verkoop en focus op het beheersen van ontkoppelingen verschaffen het bedrijf een goede uitgangspositie voor verdere groei in het tweede halfjaar.

1. Adjusted EBITDA means EBITDA before the deduction of share option expense.
2. Proxy cash flow is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditure.

Recurring revenue was €29.2m in Q2 2015, growing 16% from Q2 2014 and 5% from Q1 2015. Gross profit was €22.5m, up 19% from Q2 2014 and 5% from Q1 2015. Gross margin was in line with Q1 2015 at 77.2%, and up from 75.3% in Q2 2014.

Adjusted EBITDA was €8.2m in Q2 2015, up 17% from Q2 2014 and by 8% from Q1 2015. This growth was again achieved despite the adverse headwinds of foreign exchange movements in the quarter amounting to €234k.

Capital expenditure supporting revenue growth was higher in the quarter at €9.8m. This contributed to lower proxy cash flow of €(1.6)m in Q2 2015.

“We maintained the strong sales momentum we saw in Q1 2015 through the second quarter and continued to build a solid opportunity pipeline,” said Brady Rafuse, Chief Executive Officer of euNetworks. “Record level new sales and service installations in the quarter ensured MISR growth, putting us in a good position to continue to grow our recurring revenue this year.”

“We delivered solid financial results, with double digit growth in recurring revenue, gross profit and adjusted EBITDA versus Q2 2014. This positions the business for further improvement and we move into Q3 with good momentum. We remain confident about the opportunities ahead,” said Rafuse.
