NECKARSULM (dpa-AFX) - Bechtle AG (BC8G), an IT service provider, Wednesday
posted earnings before tax of 81.96 million euros for the first quarter, up from
79.69 million euros in the same quarter a year ago, mainly due to lower costs.
Net profit increased to 58.50 million euros or 0.46 euros per share from 56.91
million euros or 0.45 euros per share last year.
Revenue for the quarter, however, declined 2.3 percent to 1.503 billion euros

The company's business volume increased 3.4 percent year on year to 1.951
billion euros.
Looking forward to the full year, Bechtle said in a statement, 'We remain
optimistic for the year as a whole and continue to expect our business to pick
up in the second half of the year. We continue to expect significant growth in
business volume, revenue and earnings. The EBT margin is expected to remain at
around the previous year's level.'
