Software contribution to this new 9M record was EUR 13.67 mln (PY: 12.20 / +12%), while the VAR Business achieved EUR 8.08 mln (PY: 6.02 / +34%). After +36% in Q1 and -3.7% in Q2, Q3 at +19.6% achieved a record EBIT. Net profit after minority shares increased by +14% to a record EUR 12.63 mln (PY: 11.04), or 75.3 Cents (PY: 65.6) per share. Operating cash flows jumped to a new record of EUR 32.73 mln (PY: 21.43 / +53%) or 195 Cents (PY: 127) per share. After the robust business in Q2 and Q3 in spite of Corona, M+M Chairman Adi Drotleff expects "a strong Q4 with earnings around previous year's record level, so for 2020 new record earnings per share in the bandwidth of 107-118 Cents (PY: 99) can be expected, as well as 100-105 Cents dividend after 85 in PY. We are pleased to see cash flows already closing in on the 2 Euros level, indicating where we in the mid-term want to drive earnings per share, from 2021 onwards in steps of +18-24 Cents per year."
