German recruitment firm Amadeus FiRe AG (AADX: GER) reported final consolidated full year results for 2017 with revenue of €184.5 million, an increase of 6.5% from the previous year.
The group stated that temporary employment, recruitment and further training sectors contributed positively to its revenue growth, however the group’s Interim Management service saw a slight decline in sales.
In the 2017 financial year, there were three less chargeable days available than in the previous year, which corresponds to a sales, gross profit and earnings effect of approximately €-1.5 million.
(€ millions) | FY 2017 | FY 2016 | Change |
Revenue | 184.5 | 173.3 | 6.5% |

Gross Margin | 44.7% | 43.8% | 0.9 |
EBITA | 32.3 | 30.0 | 7.6% |
Selling and administrative expenses amounted to €50.4 million after €46.0 million in the previous year. The main reason for the increase of €4.4 million is the increase in personnel expenses in the operating business and associated personnel-related expenses.
