S&T: On the basis of the now available figures for the first quarter of 2020 and after analysis of the preliminary figures of the S&T Group, a leading supplier in Central and Eastern Europe of IT systems and services, for the month of April and the latest forecasts of the S&T Group members, the Management Board of S&T AG considers it likely that business development for the current financial year will exceed the previous year's level despite the Corona crisis: In 2020, revenues are expected to reach around Euro 1,150 mn and profitability around Euro 115 mn EBITDA. Both figures are approximately 3% above the 2019 financial year, which means that the S&T Group will continue on its profitable growth path despite the massive distortions in the global economy. Thus, despite the Corona pandemic, an EBITDA margin of 10% should also be achieved for the first time in 2020. The medium-term goals of Agenda 2023 - Euro 2 bn in revenues and Euro 220 mn EBITDA in the 2023 financial year - remain unchanged. The figures for the first quarter of 2020 will be published as planned on May 7, 2020.
S&T: weekly performance: 13.37%

bet-at-home.com: As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the immediate stop in European sports in mid-March 2020 led to a drop in sales in the online sports betting segment, although above all the short-term expansion of eSports as well as sport events in “more exotic” leagues, contributed to keep up the betting offer within the bet-at-home.com AG Group. The online gaming segment remained nearly unaffected by any protective measures due to the purely virtual variety of entertainment offers and was responsible for 57.6% of gross betting and gaming revenue in the first quarter of 2020. Overall, gross betting and gaming revenue in the first quarter of 2020 was Euro 32.2 mn, 13.4% below the previous year’s figure (Q1 2019: Euro 37.2 mn). The decline in gross betting and gaming revenue is mainly due to the loss of essential parts of the Swiss market and the significant decline in the Polish market. The betting and gaming volume in the bet-at-home.com AG Group totaled Euro 677.8 mn in this period (Q1 2019: Euro 827.3 mn). In the first quarter of 2020, EBITDA amounted to Euro 9.0 mn and was therefore below the very strong prior-year period (Q1 2019: Euro 12.7 mn), but could outperform the previous quarter (Q4 2019: Euro 8.2 mn). Earnings before taxes (EBT) were at Euro 8.5 mn (Q1 2019: Euro 12.2 mn). From the current perspective, the Management Board still expects a gross betting and gaming revenue between Euro 120 mn and Euro 132 mn in the financial year 2020. The decline in gross betting and gaming revenue compared to the financial year 2019 is attributable to the loss of essential parts of the Swiss market and the significant decline in the Polish market. A potential decline in revenues due to regulatory changes in Germany can currently not be estimated and is therefore not considered. Furthermore, the Management Board still expects EBITDA to amount between Euro 23 mn and Euro 27 mn for the financial year 2020.
