The operating income for the first half year of 2010 is EUR 29.6 million (up 119% against EUR 13.5 million for first half year of 2009). Of this figure, EUR 16.2 million are due to management fees (+61% against EUR 10.0 million for first half year of 2009) and EUR 9.8 million due to performance fees (against EUR 0.1 million for first half year of 2009). The fee and commission expenses amounted to EUR 16.5 million (+106% against EUR 8.0 million for first half year of 2009). The company's personnel expenses for the first half year of 2010 are EUR 4.6 million (+52% against EUR 3.1 million for first half year of 2009). Other administrative expenses amounted to EUR 2.5 million and thus were 34% higher than the comparable item of the previous year (EUR 1.8 million for first half year of 2009). In total, for the first six months of 2010, the company achieved an operating profit of EUR 5.4 million (against EUR -0.2 million for first half year of 2009), and a net profit of EUR 8.5 million (against EUR 0.1 million for first half year of 2009).
The results per share during the first half year of 2010 amounted to EUR 1.95 (EUR 0.02 for first half of 2009).
"The first half year results are satisfactory, but they were clearly carried by the performance fees which cannot be planned in advance, and will come to bear when the C-QUADRAT funds reach new peaks. Due to the currently very volatile activities on the stock markets, we cannot assume similar development of the business in the second half of the year". These are the comments of Alexander Schütz, the C-QUADRAT founder and Management Board Member, regarding the half year results of the company.
