PRESS RELEASE
TRIPLE P REPORTS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THIRD QUARTER 2003
- TRIPLE P PROFITABLE IN THIRD QUARTER 2003;
- NET REVENUES IN TRADITIONALLY WEAKER THIRD QUARTER 4% ABOVE NET
REVENUES IN SECOND QUARTER 2003;
- ALL MANAGEMENT ATTENTION FOCUSED ON FURTHER GROWTH OF NET REVENUES.
November 7, 2003 - Vianen, The Netherlands. Triple P N.V. (Nasdaq SCM: TPPP)
announced today that it closed the third quarter of 2003 with net income of
EURO27,000 as determined in accordance with United States generally accepted
accounting principles ("US GAAP").
In accordance with USGAAP, the operating expenses for the third quarter of 2003
include current personnel expenses of EURO375,000 related to employees that
were notified in the second quarter that their employee contract would be
terminated before the end of the year. Excluding these expenses, adjusted net
income for the third quarter of 2003 was EURO402,000.
Net revenues in the traditionally weaker third quarter were EURO18.3 million,
4% above net revenues in the second quarter of 2003.
"Although net revenues are 15.9% below last year, we are hopeful that sales
growth could return in future periods," says CEO, Mr. H. Crijns. "We will
continue to focus attention on further sales growth, efficiency improvement and
further cost reduction so that we are well positioned to take advantage of any
favorable market conditions that may emerge."
As a result of cost reduction measures, operating expenses for the third quarter
of 2003 decreased by 17,7% compared to the third quarter of 2002. In the third
quarter, Triple P's workforce decreased from 373 to 353 employees (FTE's).
"The implementation of our second quarter 2003 restructuring plan is on schedule
and is expected to be finished before year end 2003. The impact of the
restructuring on operating expenses will be fully visible as of the first
quarter of 2004," says Mr. Crijns.
Triple P believes that market conditions in 2003 will continue to be difficult.
The difficult and uncertain economic climate generally and the continued
instability in the ICT market in particular are such that the Company is not
providing any specific guidance as to future results for the fiscal year 2003.
