05/29/2006 - Results of the first quarter 2006
Results of the first quarter 2006: In the first quarter of 2006, the ARBOmedia AG reached a group-wide turnover of 17.5 million EUR. This corresponds to a gain of more than 12 percent compared to the first quarter 2005 (sales of 15.6 million EUR). Furthermore our in-house scheduling (sales of 15.1 million EUR) could be outbalanced by nearly 16 percent.

The result of operations was with -39 TEUR lower than the result of the same period in 2005 (64 TEUR). The reason for this effect is primarily based on discontinued operations of our affiliated companies in Romania and Spain, which converted their portfolios to private TV stations including more pleasing margins. Consequently the group-wide result after taxes amounted -205 TEUR after -61 TEUR in the first quarter of 2005. Altogether also this figure is better than our in-house scheduling for this period.
