Cash flow for the period increased by 12 percent After a dividend payment of 9.6 million euros and loan repayments of 7.8 million euros, the cash and cash equivalents were 31.4 million and therefore exceeded the remaining loan for the Graphisoft acquisition by 19.7 million euros. The equity ratio of the Nemetschek Group is 60 percent.
Outlook confirmed The group confirmed its forecasts for the current fiscal year. Unless the underlying conditions significantly worsen in the very near future, Nemetschek still expects an operating result (EBITDA) of around 40 million euros, equivalent to an EBITDA margin of around 24 percent. The liabilities resulting from the Graphisoft acquisition will be almost completely eliminated in 2011, meaning that the group's interest charges will also fall further.
