/ Key word(s): Preliminary Results
SNP SE Looks Back on a Successful 2019 Fiscal Year and Expects Further Revenue and Earnings Growth in 2020 - Group revenue in 2019 increased by 10% over the previous year to around € 145 million Heidelberg, Germany, January 31, 2020 - SNP Schneider-Neureither & Partner SE, a global leader in transformation software and services, significantly increased its revenue and earnings in the 2019 fiscal year. According to the preliminary figures published today for the 2019 fiscal year, revenue rose by 10% to around € 145 million (previous year: € 131.0 million). At the same time, the operating profit margin (EBIT margin) increased to around 5% (previous year: -1.9%). The high-margin Software business segment was a key factor driving this growth. Here, SNP achieved a particularly strong growth rate of 64% and reached a volume of around € 48 million in sales. The software business's share of overall revenue in 2019 thus rose to approximately 33% (previous year: 22%). In the Services business segment, revenue declined by 5% in 2019 to around € 97 million mainly due to negative currency-related factors. In addition, a lower order backlog from the beginning of the year burdened the development. "The preliminary figures for 2019 show that SNP is positioned very promisingly from a strategic point of view. In the Software business segment in particular, in 2019 we stepped up our growth momentum and established a large number of groundbreaking partnerships," says Dr. Andreas Schneider-Neureither, CEO of SNP SE. "We will keep up this pace at SNP and achieve further revenue and earnings growth in 2020." The anticipated growth volume in 2020 is also based on a strong order entry figure in the 2019 fiscal year. At approximately € 201 million, this is 52% higher than the previous year's figure. SNP registered positive performance in both its Software and Services business segments; while the order entry figure in the Services business segment rose by around 20% over the previous year, the order entry volume in the Software business segment almost tripled year over year. In the current 2020 fiscal year, these two factors will both have a positive impact on SNP's revenue and earnings trend. In this context, SNP's management anticipates a significant increase in Group revenue to between € 175 million and € 185 million for the 2020 fiscal year. In particular, the growing share of software revenue will have a positive effect on the Group's EBIT margin. SNP SE will present its audited figures for the 2019 fiscal year on March 30, 2020.
