22-05-2003 ICT reports satisfactory first quarter
ICT Automatisering N.V. (ICT) will today report at its shareholders’ meeting that the first quarter of 2003 developed satisfactorily. However, the market situation remains uncertain and there are at this moment no signs of a structural market recovery.
14-03-2003 Results 2002: ICT maintains strong position in weak market
ICT Automatisering N.V. (ICT) booked net profit of € 3.4 million in the full year 2002, in line with the forecast given in the press release dated 20 November 2002. Net profit in 2001 came in at € 10.2 million. Earnings per share showed a comparable development and stood at € 0.40 in 2002, from € 1.21 in 2001. In view of the strong financial position, ICT will propose to pay the entire earnings per share in dividend. Turnover declined to € 63.0 million in 2002, compared with € 84.4 million in 2001. In 2002, ICT brought its cost base in line with the changed market conditions, while its strategic choices remained the company’s focus. ICT’s strong strategic position enabled ICT to acquire new clients in a very weak market climate. Although the year 2003 has not started entirely unsatisfactorily, it is impossible at this point to make a reliable prediction of the expected turnover and profit development in 2003, in view of the persisting economic and political uncertainties.
20-11-2002 ICT reorganisation on track
ICT Automatisering N.V. (ICT) performed in line with expectations in the third quarter. In addition, significant steps have now been taken in the reorganisation announced at the release of the first-half results. As ICT announced at the time, the second half of 2002 is showing a positive trend compared with the first half of 2002. However, the economic climate remains weak, which means that the cautious recovery seen in a number of markets continued more slowly than expected. The ICT management board has made a limited adjustment in its full-year 2002 net profit forecast from at least EUR 3.5 million, to a range of EUR 3.0 million to EUR 3.5 million.

23-05-2002 ICT Automatisering notes cautious market recovery
ICT Automatisering N.V. (ICT) today reports to its general meeting of shareholders that the reduced willingness to invest among its clients has, as expected, persisted in the first quarter of 2002. Based on the current market conditions, ICT expects a positive net result in the first half of 2002, but a lower turnover and result compared with the second half of 2001. ICT maintains its expectation that turnover and result for the full year 2002 will be lower than those in 2001, as also reported at the presentation of its annual results. In view of the uncertain conditions in the market, it is at this time impossible to be more concrete on the subject.

ICT Automatisering N.V. (ICT) booked full-year 2001 net profit down 24% to EUR 10.2 million compared with EUR 13.4 million in 2000, in line with the forecast given at the presentation of its first-half results on 7 September 2001. Earnings per share fell by the same percentage and came in at EUR 1.21 in 2001, compared with EUR 1.59 in 2000. Turnover fell fractionally to EUR 84.4 million in 2001 from EUR 85.9 million in 2000. ICT’s strategy of focusing on the R&D processes of its clients, with ICT acting as a strategic partner for its clients, ensured that ICT felt the effects of the economic downturn relatively late. The first half of 2001 was therefore closed satisfactorily and in line with expectations. But in the seconds half, ICT too was confronted with the postponement of projects by its clients. This fall in the willingness to invest also continued into the early months of 2002. The ICT Board of Directors expects 2002 turnover and net profit to be lower than in 2001.

Turnover rose by 9.8% to EUR 46.3 million in the first six months, compared with EUR 42.1 million in the first half of 2000. As ICT announced on 17 July, the first half progressed positively and in line with expectations, although the effects of the deteriorated market conditions were also increasingly noticeable for ICT. The third quarter has started disappointingly and ICT sees no signs of improvement as yet. The ICT Board expects full-year 2001 net profit to decrease by 25% compared with the EUR 13.4 million booked 2000.

(ICT) reports that net profit for the first half of 2001 is expected to be around EUR 7.4 million, an increase of 22% on the net profit booked in the first half of 2000 (EUR 6.1 million). Despite the fact that the first half result was in line with expectations, ICT is also increasingly feeling the effects of the deteriorated market conditions. The third quarter has started disappointingly and the outlook for the fourth quarter is also weak. ICT has adjusted its forecast for the full year 2001 from an increase in net profit of at least 20% to a net profit down on the result booked in the full-year 2000 (EUR 13.4 million).

During the Annual General shareholders’ Meeting of ICT Automatisering N.V., which was held today in Rotterdam, the ICT directors announced their expectations for the year 2000.
