Jos Blejie, CEO of ICT Group N.V.: “In the first quarter of 2018 results were in line with expectations, with a good performance of ICT Netherlands. One of the highlights of the first quarter was acquiring full ownership of InTraffic. As wholly owned subsidiary, InTraffic substantially strengthens our position in Smarter Cities from Q2 onwards. We will continue to focus on the further execution of our strategy, aimed at organic growth combined with add-on acquisitions. Considering the performance in this first quarter and the continued positive market trends, we reiterate that we expect a further growth in both revenue and EBITDA for the full year 2018 compared to 2017.”

Financial developments
Revenue increased to € 28.7 million in the first quarter of 2018, compared to € 25.6 million in the first quarter of 2017. Organically, excluding High Tech Solutions (acquired in June 2017) and NedMobiel, revenue grew 6%. InTraffic is consolidated as of 1 April 2018. In the first quarter, InTraffic is still reported as a joint venture.

ICT Netherlands performed well, showing good productivity levels, except for the Healthcare unit, for which a large project ended in 2017. The results of Strypes Bulgaria are somewhat behind compared to last year due to slightly lower productivity in combination with ongoing outlays in quality improvement. In the segment ‘Other’, Raster is experiencing a lack of larger new projects, which is reflected in its results. We anticipate that the challenging Oil & Gas market circumstances will continue in the next two quarters.

EBITDA, excluding the one-off accounting gain, increased to € 3.0 million in the first quarter, compared to € 2.8 million in the same period of 2017.
