Total income was up by 33% from EUR 10.0 million in the previous year to EUR 13.3 million in Q1 2017. Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) grew from EUR 1.6 million (adjusted for special effects due to the IPO) to EUR 2.4 million. The EBITDA margin amounts to 18%, compared to 16% (adjusted) in Q1 2016.<\/p>\n<p>The growth is attributable to the very positive performance of the Products and Services businesses. Growth in the Product business &#8211; the sale of vacuum insulation panels (VIPs) &#8211; was driven by higher demand for high-performance insulation for refrigerators and hot water storage. Revenue in the Products business amounted to EUR 3.9 million during the first three months of 2017, up 95% compared with Q1 2016, when the company generated EUR 2.0 million of revenue. The Services business (rental of thermal containers and thermal boxes) reported strong growth, too. Thanks to the higher number of container rentals at the UK subsidiary as well as further success in the box rental business, revenue with Services rose to EUR 4.2 million during the first three months of the year. It was thereby 40% higher than in Q1 2016 at EUR 3.0 million. Revenue with Systems (sale of thermal packaging) of EUR 3.2 million remained at the level of the prior-year period (EUR 3.2 million).<\/p>\n<p>Christopher Hoffmann, CFO of va-Q-tec AG, comments on the growth momentum in Q1 2017<i>: &#8220;The accelerated growth in our Products business &#8211; the industrial basis of va-Q-tec &#8211; enables us to achieve economies of scale in purchasing and production. It underscores the high quality of our products and our reliability in supplying large industrial customers. We also further expanded our attractive Services business with existing and new customers. We are now on track to achieving our targets for the full 2017 year &#8211; 35-40% revenue growth and an improvement in the EBITDA margin.&#8221;<\/i><\/p>\n<p>A start was also made in the first quarter with consolidating the five sub-locations in W\u00fcrzburg into a central technology and logistics headquarters. This step serves to boost operating efficiency, to expand capacities for production and logistics, and to bundle technological competencies. The fleet of rental containers for the global &#8220;Serviced Rental&#8221; of thermal containers was also expanded further.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Joachim Kuhn, founder and Management Board Chairman (CEO) of va-Q-tec, adds:&nbsp;<i>&#8220;We continued successfully on our growth track in Q1 2017 and realised investments in technology and process efficiency. We have expanded our international presence with the founding of a Swiss subsidiary, to further exploit opportunities in the dynamically growing cold chain logistics business. While we are driving forward on day-to-day execution, we are also not losing sight of the strategic challenges ahead. Our goal remains to revolutionise cold chain logistics with our products and solutions, and boost their thermal energy efficiency.&#8221;<\/i><\/p>\n<p>An update of the financial guidance will prospectively be announced with the publication of the half-year financial report in August 2017.

Mai 2017. Die va-Q-tec AG (ISIN DE0006636681 \/ WKN 663668), ein techno-logisch f\u00fchrender Anbieter hocheffizienter Produkte und L\u00f6sungen im Bereich der thermischen Isolation und K\u00fchlkettenlogistik, ver\u00f6ffentlicht heute ihre Quartalsmitteilung \u00fcber die Gesch\u00e4ftsentwicklung der ersten drei Monate 2017 und meldet weiter starkes Wachstum im Umsatz und im EBITDA.\r\n\r\nNach ungepr\u00fcften Zahlen (IFRS) steigerte der va-Q-tec Konzern seinen Umsatz von 8,2 Mio. EUR in Q1 2016 um 39% auf 11,4 Mio. EUR in Q1 2017. Die Gesamtertr\u00e4ge wuchsen um 33% von 10,0 Mio. EUR im Vorjahreszeitraum auf 13,3 Mio. EUR in Q1 2017. Das Ergebnis vor Zinsen, Steuern und Abschreibungen (EBITDA) wuchs von 1,6 Mio. EUR (bereinigt um Sondereinfl\u00fcsse aufgrund des B\u00f6rsenganges) auf 2,4 Mio. EUR. Die EBITDA-Marge betr\u00e4gt 18% nach 16% (bereinigt) in Q1 2016.\r\n\r\nDas Wachstum ist auf die sehr positive Entwicklung der Gesch\u00e4ftsbereiche Produkte und Dienstleistungen zur\u00fcckzuf\u00fchren. Das Wachstum im Produkt-Gesch\u00e4ft - dem Vertrieb von Vakuumisolationspaneelen (VIPs) - wurde durch die gestiegene Nachfrage nach Hochleistungsd\u00e4mmung f\u00fcr K\u00fchlger\u00e4te und Warmwasserspeicher bef\u00f6rdert. Der Umsatz im Produkt-Gesch\u00e4ft stieg in den ersten drei Monaten des Jahres 2017 auf 3,9 Mio. EUR und lag damit um 95% h\u00f6her als in Q1 2016 mit 2,0 Mio. EUR. Auch das Dienstleistungs-Gesch\u00e4ft (Vermietung von Thermocontainern und Thermoboxen) ist stark gewachsen: aufgrund der gestiegenen Anzahl von Containervermietungen in der UK-Tochtergesellschaft sowie dem weiter erfolgreichen Boxenvermietgesch\u00e4ft konnte der Umsatz mit Dienstleistungen in den ersten drei Monaten des Jahres auf 4,2 Mio. EUR erh\u00f6ht werden. Er lag damit um 40% h\u00f6her als im Q1 2016 mit 3,0 Mio. EUR. Die Ums\u00e4tze mit Systemen (Verkauf von thermischen Verpackungen) blieben mit 3,2 Mio. EUR auf dem Niveau des Vorjahreszeitraums (3,2 Mio. EUR).\r\n\r\nChristopher Hoffmann, Finanzvorstand der va-Q-tec AG, kommentiert die Wachstumsdynamik in Q1 2017: \u201eDas sehr starke Wachstum im Produkt-Gesch\u00e4ft - der industriellen Basis von va-Q-tec - erm\u00f6glicht Skaleneffekte im Einkauf und der Produktion. Es unterstreicht die hohe Qualit\u00e4t unserer Produkte und das Vertrauen gro\u00dfer Industriekunden in unsere hohe Liefertreue. Daneben konnten wir im attraktiven Dienstleistungs-Gesch\u00e4ft erneut Bestandskunden ausbauen und neue Kunden gewinnen. Wir sind auf einem guten Weg, unsere Ziele f\u00fcr das Gesamtjahr 2017, also 35-40\u00e2\u20ac\u2030% Umsatzwachstum und eine Verbesserung der EBITDA-Marge, zu erreichen.\u201c\r\n\r\nIm ersten Quartal wurde au\u00dferdem mit der Konsolidierung der f\u00fcnf W\u00fcrzburger Teil-standorte zu einer Technologie- und Logistikzentrale begonnen. Dieser Schritt dient der Steigerung der operativen Effizienz, dem Kapazit\u00e4tsausbau f\u00fcr Produktion und Logistik sowie der B\u00fcndelung der technologischen Kompetenzen. Zus\u00e4tzlich wurde auch die Flotte an Mietcontainern f\u00fcr das globale \u201eServiced Rental\u201c von Thermocontainern weiter ausgebaut.\r\n\r\nDr. Joachim Kuhn, Gr\u00fcnder und Vorstandsvorsitzender (CEO) der va-Q-tec AG erg\u00e4nzt: \u201eIn Q1 2017 haben wir unseren Wachstumskurs erfolgreich fortgesetzt und Investitionen in die Technologie und die Effizienz der Abl\u00e4ufe vorgenommen. Um die Chancen in der dynamischen K\u00fchlkettenlogistik weiter zu nutzen, haben wir mit der Gr\u00fcndung unserer Schweizer Tochtergesellschaft den Ausbau unserer internationalen Pr\u00e4senz vorangetrieben. Neben dem intensiven Tagesgesch\u00e4ft verlieren wir auch entscheidende Zukunftsthemen nicht aus den Augen. Unser Ziel bleibt es, mit unseren Produkten und L\u00f6sungen die K\u00fchlkettenlogistik zu revolutionieren und die thermische Energieeffizienz zu steigern.\u201c\r\n\r\nEine Aktualisierung der Finanzprognose wird voraussichtlich mit der Ver\u00f6ffentlichung des Halbjahresfinanzberichts im August 2017 bekannt gegeben. Bis dahin beh\u00e4lt die bisherige Prognose ihre G\u00fcltigkeit.\r\n\r\n+++ENDE+++\r\n\r\nIR Kontakt\r\nva-Q-tec AG\r\nFelix Rau\r\nTelephone: +49 931 35942 - 2973\r\nEmail: Felix.Rau@va-Q-tec.com\r\n\r\ncometis AG\r\nClaudius Krause\r\nTelefon: +49 611 - 20 585 5-28\r\neMail: krause@dev.cometis.de\r\n\r\n\u00dcber va-Q-tec\r\nva-Q-tec ist ein f\u00fchrender Anbieter von Hochleistungs-Produkten und L\u00f6sungen im Bereich der thermischen Isolation und der K\u00fchlkettenlogistik. Das Unternehmen entwickelt, produziert und vertreibt innovative, d\u00fcnne Vakuumisolationspaneele (\u201eVIPs\u201c) sowie thermische Energiespeicherkomponenten (Phase Change Materials - \u201ePCMs\u201c) zur zuverl\u00e4ssigen und energieeffizienten Temperaturkontrolle bzw. D\u00e4mmung. Dar\u00fcber hinaus fertigt va-Q-tec durch die optimale Integration von VIPs und PCMs passive thermische Verpackungssysteme (Container und Boxen), die je nach Typ ohne Zufuhr von externer Energie konstante Temperaturen zwischen 24 und \u00fcber 200 Stunden halten k\u00f6nnen. Zur Durchf\u00fchrung von temperatursensiblen Logistikketten unterh\u00e4lt va-Q-tec in einem globalen Partnernetzwerk eine Flotte von Mietcontainern und -boxen, mit denen anspruchsvolle Thermoschutzstandards erf\u00fcllt werden k\u00f6nnen. Neben Healthcare & Logistik als Hauptmarkt werden folgende weitere M\u00e4rkte von va-Q-tec adressiert: K\u00fchlger\u00e4te & Lebensmittel, Technik & Industrie, Bau und Mobilit\u00e4t.
