Trifork  A/S  -  Quarterly  announcement  Q3-­2012 Message  No.  18/2012

Aarhus,  November  2,  2012,  2012-­11-­02  09:00  CET  (GLOBE  NEWSWIRE)  -­-­    

Development  in  accordance  to  plans

Trifork  maintains  its  expectations  of  a  total  revenue  in  2012  of  DKKm  230  and  an  EBITDA-­result  for  the year  of  DKKm  36.

Financial  development

Revenue  for  Q3-­2012  totaled  DKKm  44.7  corresponding  to  an  improvement  of  16%  compared  to the  same  quarter  in  2011.
For  Q1-­Q3,  2012  revenue  was  DKKm  146.0  representing  an  increase  of  27%  over  the  same  period in  2011.
EBITDA  profit  for  Q3-­2012  totaled  DKKm  6.2  which  is  28%  below  the  same  period  in  2011.
For  Q1-­Q3  2012  EBITDA  was  DKKm  19.5  corresponding  to  a  decrease  of  7%  compared  to  the same  period  in  2011.
EBITDA-­margin  for  Q3  ended  at  13.9%  giving  a  total  margin  of  13.3%  for  the  period  Q1-­Q3  2012.

"The  results  for  period  Q3  does  not  live  up  to  our  expectations.  However,  is  has  been  a  quarter  where  we have  prioritized  new  initiatives  to  support  the  future  growth  of  the  company,  so  we  still  look  forward  to  the rest  of  2012  and  believe  that  we  can  achieve  the  announced  financial  goals  for  the  year.  We  expect  to reach  an  EBITDA-­margin  of  over  15%",  says  CEO  Jørn  Larsen.

Significant  events  in  Q3-­2012

Trifork  Amsterdam  (formerly  Orange11)  has  been  integrated  in  the  group.    A  big  effort  has  been made  to  integrate  the  company  in  the  group.  The  process  is  going  well  and  Trifork  expects  a  future positive  development  in  both  revenue  and  profit-­margins.
Trifork  Projects  Copenhagen  was  adopted  100%  into  the  group,  giving  an  expectation  to  create even  more  future  growth.
Trifork  announced  a  new  cooperation  with  Syd  Energi  (SE)  establishing  a  new  company  "Next  Step Citizen",  which  will  focus  on  delivering  integrated  solutions  in  telemedicine  services  to  the  public sector  in  Denmark.
Trifork  established  a  cooperation  with  the  company  IT  Minds  ApS  to  be  able  to  recruit  new employees  via  the  company.  At  the  same  time  Trifork  acquired  a  5%  ownership  of  the  company. It  has  been  difficult  to  keep  the  momentum  in  the  ongoing  business  and  hard  to  keep  the  profit-­ margins.  Significant  resources  and  cost  has  been  spend  in  marketing  and  development  of  new proofs  of  technology.

Outlook  for  Q4-­2012

Trifork  expects  a  positive  development  in  profit-­margins  on  the  international  activities.  This  based on  optimizations  carried  out  in  Q3  and  current  forecasts  for  the  quarter.

GOTO  Aarhus  (October)  and  QCon  San  Francisco  (November)  are  two  of  the  major  conferences

carried  out  in  Q4-­2012.  Both  conferences  are  expected  to  outdo  the  results  in  2011  and  in  this  way giving  a  significant  raise  in  both  revenue  and  profit.
Higher  profit-­margins  are  expected  due  to  the  fact  that  most  expenses  to  marketing  activities  has been  held  in  Q3  and  a  high  utilization  of  resources  is  predicted  in  profitable  projects  in  Q4.
Trifork  CEO  Jørn  Larsen:  "Q4  is  historically  one  of  the  best  quarters  in  Trifork  and  we  expect  history  to repeat  itself  in  Q4-­2012.  A  major  part  of  this  is  due  to  the  timing  and  nature  of  our  conferences.  The revenue  and  profit  from  these  will  have  an  impact  on  in  the  quarter  where  they  are  carried  out  -  even though  tickets  are  already  sold  and  we  are  working  on  them  for  more  than  a  half  year  in  advance".
