Amadeus FiRe AG was able to close the first half of fiscal year 2021 with a very positive development. In both segments, Personnel Services and Training, the company found its way out of the crisis with a significant increase in revenue and earnings and has already clearly outperformed the pre-crisis level in 2019. In the first 6 months, consolidated sales rose by 30 percent to EUR178.4 million and operating profit from business activities (operating EBITA) by 70 percent to EUR29.5 million. Based on last year's operating EBITA of EUR41.1 million, the 2020 annual report forecasted growth in operating profit of a good 15 percent for 2021 as a whole, with improving business momentum from the middle of the year. The Management Board is correcting this forecast and expects significantly more dynamic growth for 2021 as a whole. It is expected to increase the previous year's result by at least 50 percent. After EUR29.5 million in the first half of the year, the EUR60 million threshold for operating EBITA should be clearly exceeded for the year as a whole. The basic assumption is that there will be no renewed economic disruptions as at the beginning of the 2020 pandemic. Amadeus FiRe AG Jan H.
