RIB Software SE, the world's leading provider of iTWO 4.0 cloud enterprise platform technology, today announces its key financial figures for the first quarter 2021. RIB Group shows solid growth in the first quarter 2021 Total revenues increased by 9.4% to € 68.8 million (previous year: € 62.9 million). Software revenues (ARR + NRR) increased by 3.1% to € 50.6 million (previous year: € 49.1 million). Service revenues grew by 32.8% to € 18.2 million (previous year: € 13.7 million). Organic revenue growth in the Group was 2.3%. EBITDA increased by 46.8% year-on-year to € 22.6 million (previous year: € 15.4 million). At 32.8%, the EBITDA margin was with 8.3 percentage points significantly above the previous year. Earnings after taxes rose substantially by 112.1% to € 7.0 million (previous year: € 3.3 million). Net cash flow from operating activities increased by 30.6% to € 32.0 million (previous year: € 24.5 million) At the end of the first quarter, group liquidity amounted to € 253.2 million (December 31, 2020: € 224.0 million). The average number of employees changed by 35.0% to 2,467 (previous year: 1,827). Development of the segments In the YTWO segment, total revenue was € 0.0 million (previous year: € 0.0 million). The segment EBITDA amounted to € -0.1 million and continues to be strongly characterised by start-up costs in the YTWO segment. In previous years, we divided the reporting segment xYTWO into the two business segments YTWO (SCM) and xTWO (E-Commerce). Since the xTWO business segment is not part of our core business, we separated from this area in August 2020 and sold the business segment as a whole. Thus, there will be no further subdivision of the YTWO reporting segment into business segments in the future. Further business development Due to the uncertainties caused by Covid-19, we have currently strongly reduced our M&A activities, which in turn will have an impact on the planned revenue and EBITDA contribution from these deals. In the context of further cost reductions and preservation of liquidity, we have strongly reduced investments in new business areas, such as YTWO, and are focusing on the successful expansion of the iMTWO segment. After the first quarter of 2021, we are sticking to our guidance and forecast a revenue in the range of € 280 million to € 310 million and an operating EBITDA of between € 65 million and € 75 million for the 2021 financial year.
* The previous year's figures were adjusted for the amounts of the discontinued business unit xTWO (E-Commerce). ** EBITDA adjusted by currency effects and one-off / special effects. *** Previous year as of December 31, 2020. **** Cash and cash equivalents, time deposits and available-for-sale securities. Previous year as of December 31, 2020.
