Trifork  maintains  its  growth  forecast  for  2013

Trifork  maintains  its  expectations  of  a  total  revenue  in  2013  of  DKKm  245  and  an  EBITDA-­result  for  the year  of  DKKm  37.

Financial  performance  in  the  first  quarter  of  2013

Trifork  achieved  a  total  revenue  of  DKKm  61.4  in  the  period,  corresponding  to  a  growth  of  12%
compared  to  the  same  period  in  2012,  where  a  revenue  of  DKKm  54.9  was  achieved. Profit  before  tax,  interest,  depreciation  and  amortization  (EBITDA)  totalled  DKKm  5.1, corresponding  to  an  EBITDA-­margin  of  8.3%.  This  result  is  below  the  expected  level  and  DKKm
4.9  below  the  result  for  the  same  period  in  2012,  where  an  EBITDA-­result  of  DKKm  10  was realised.
All  business  areas  have  made  a  profit  in  the  period.

"In  Q1-­2013  we  have  carried  out  increased  investments  in  developing  new  products  that  we  look  forward to  benefit  from  in  the  future.  The  level  of  investment  is  scaled  down  in  Q2-­2013  where  we  will  focus  on improving  our  EBITDA-­margin.  "Says  Jørn  Larsen,  CEO  of  Trifork.

Highlights  for  the  first  quarter  of  2013

Mobile:  The  company  has  invested  significant  resources  in  the  development  of  Trifork's  eMobility Platform,  Enterprise  app-­store  and  Notification  Server.  The  eMobility  platform  provides  a  common security  framework  for  the  handling  and  use  of  mobile  applications  on  a  company's  core infrastructure.
Agile:  During  the  period  resources  have  been  focused  on  developing  new  conferences.  The  QCon London  conference  was  completed  with  satisfactory  results,  although  these  were  slightly  below  the initial  expectations.
Cloud:  Trifork  continues  to  see  very  positive  developments  in  cloud  products  and  expertise. Several  new  B-­to-­B  customer  projects  have  been  launched  for  major  international  groups  both  in Denmark  and  internationally.
The  increased  sales  efforts  in  the  second  half  of  2012  has  proven  a  positive  effect  and  in  Q1-­2013 several  new  contracts  have  been  concluded  with  several  significant  new  customers  on  projects  to be  delivered  during  2013.
