BIELEFELD, GERMANY - Newsaktuell - 12 May 2025 -NTT DATA Business Solutions AG reports record figures for fiscal year 2024/25 (key date: March 31, 2025). Despite geopolitical and economic uncertainties, the leading global SAP partner for the SME sector was able to outperform its dynamic growth from the record year of 2023/24: Double-digit revenue growth of 14.7 percent to 1.85 billion euros. Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) exceeded the 100 million euro mark for the first time, rising by 35.9 percent to 109.9 million euros. Earnings before interest, taxes, and amortization (EBITA) reached 138.3 million euros – an increase of 33.8 percent. The EBITA margin increased to 7.5 percent (previous year: 6.4%)."Once again, we concluded a very strong fiscal year with double-digit growth rates for both revenue and results. This illustrates the trust we enjoy in the SME sector and the confidence placed in us by over 6,500 customers around the world," says Norbert Rotter, CEO of NTT DATA Business Solutions. "We continue to be successful in our efforts to achieve sustainable and long-term growth: Our revenue has more than doubled since 2017. Despite the volatile market environment, our customers' digital transformation remains a megatrend and a clear growth driver. Based on our decades of SAP expertise, we create genuine added value and strengthen the competitiveness of our customers across the globe."The cloud subscription sales segment again proved to be a key growth driver in fiscal year 2024/25: Related revenues increased by 49.5 percent to 191.9 million euros. The division was thus able to maintain the pace of doubling its revenue every two years. The consulting business also made clear strides: Sales of 868.7 million euros represented growth of 12.8 percent. In the area of managed services, the company recorded an increase of 11.4 percent to 751.5 million euros.The company also saw strong growth in its international activities, particularly in the regions of Western Europe (WE, +29.2%), Middle East, Türkiye & Africa (META, +46.3%), as well as Asia-Pacific & India (APAC, +25.5%). The company also recorded strong growth of 17.7% in North America and Brazil. The economically challenging domestic market of Germany/Austria/Switzerland (DACH) also experienced positive development with a further increase of 6.6 percent.According to Norbert Rotter, the SME sector must forge ahead with its digital transformation in order to remain successful in the long term. This applies particularly to the areas of cloud and artificial intelligence (AI). To this end, NTT DATA Business Solutions provides holistic support to companies around the world – from strategic consulting to implementation and day-to-day operations. "Based on our strength of innovation, we provide end-to-end solutions to key challenges, acting as a one-stop shop," continues Norbert Rotter. "As part of the Japanese NTT/NTT DATA Group, we also benefit from a strong network that forms the basis for further sustained growth."The number of employees (currently 16,763) is also expected to increase further during the current fiscal year 2025. The aim is to expand the company not only in terms of its personnel but also strategically, for instance through targeted acquisitions. These efforts will focus on companies in key industries, such as life sciences, as well as companies that specialize in solutions based on SAP, Microsoft, or ServiceNow technologies, or that can add innovative software solutions to the ownIP portfolio."We are in a solid financial position and, as part of the NTT/NTT DATA Group, we have the resources to make targeted investments," says Jürgen Pürzer, CFO of NTT DATA Business Solutions. "Particularly in these volatile times, our business model and our forward-looking, cost-efficient planning have proved to be robust. We therefore look to the future with confidence and expect to achieve growth of 4-6% in the current fiscal year, provided the ongoing geopolitical and economic challenges do not worsen further."Further information is available at nttdata-solutions.com Hashtag: #HEIDELBERG

US-EU trade deal not far from ECB's baseline forecast, says Lagarde
The US-EU trade deal establishes an effective average tariff estimated to lie between 12% and 16% for US imports of euro area goods. (EPA Images pic) FRANKFURT : The trade deal between the US and the EU is close to the baseline assumed by the European Central Bank (ECB), but uncertainty persists in key sectors like pharmaceuticals and semiconductors, ECB president Christine Lagarde said today. The EU accepted 15% tariffs on most items in the deal agreed last month, averting an all-out trade war and providing businesses greater clarity, even if the new barriers slow economic growth. 'The trade deal establishes an effective average tariff estimated to lie between 12% and 16% for US imports of euro area goods,' Lagarde said in Geneva. 'This effective average tariff is somewhat higher than – but still close to – the assumptions used in our baseline projections last June,' she said. 'The outcome of the trade deal is well below the severe scenario for US tariffs of over 20%,' she added. The ECB's baseline projection assumes economic growth of 1.1% next year while the 'severe' outcome would have lowered this to 0.7%, the ECB's June projections show. 'The US-EU trade deal is still likely to weigh on economic growth,' Lagarde added, saying a long-predicted slowdown was already evident in second-quarter economic data. 'The EU, which has always relied on extensive foreign trade for growth, should now diversify its trade with other nations to maintain growth and offset the negative impact of tariffs,' Lagarde said. 'While the US is – and will remain – an important trading partner, Europe should also aim to deepen its trade ties with other jurisdictions, leveraging the strengths of its export-oriented economy,' she said.

Turkish Airlines moves to acquire minority stake in Air Europa after rivals drop out
ISTANBUL, Aug 20 —Turkish Airlines yesterday said Air Europa had accepted its 300-million-euro ($350 million) offer to purchase a minority stake in the indebted Spanish airline. In a statement to the Istanbul Stock Exchange regulator (KAP), the Turkish flag carrier said 'the binding offer submitted has been accepted by Air Europa' and procedures to close the deal had started. 'The transaction involves an investment of 300 million euros, the majority of which is in the form of a capital increase' which would then be converted into a stake whose share would be finalised in the coming months. 'The minority shareholding ratio to be acquired will be finalised following technical and financial adjustments to be made at the closing,' it said. Media reports in Spain and Turkey gave a figure of some 26 percent. Turkish Airlines said the process was due to be completed within six to 12 months, subject to approval by the relevant regulatory authorities, including the Spanish government. The airline submitted its binding offer on Tuesday to Globalia, the Spanish tourism group which holds an 80-percent stake in Air Europa. The other 20 percent is held by British Airways owner IAG. The move comes two weeks after rival bidders Lufthansa and Air France-KLM dropped out of talks to take a stake in the Spanish airline. Turkish Airlines had on August 7 informed KAP it had decided to submit a binding offer to acquire a minority stake in Air Europa. It said the complementary nature of its own global passenger and cargo network and Air Europa's strong position in the Iberian Peninsula and Latin America would 'contribute to achieving scaled and rapid growth in the Latin American market' and create new revenue channels. Last year, IAG dropped a bid for a full takeover of the Spanish carrier owing to regulatory constraints. — AFP

Isak breaks silence on Newcastle exit, says move ‘in best interests of everyone' amid Liverpool links
LIVERPOOL, Aug 20 — Alexander Isak believes his departure from Newcastle is 'in the best interests of everyone' after breaking his silence on the saga of the Premier League transfer window amid speculation over a move to Liverpool. The Swedish international, who was the second-highest goalscorer in the Premier League last season, has not featured for the Magpies in pre-season or their opening game of the campaign, a 0-0 draw away at Aston Villa on Saturday. Liverpool have reportedly had a £110 million bid (US$149 million) rejected for the 25-year-old, with Newcastle holding out for a British transfer record fee of up to £150 million. Isak released a statement on Tuesday after deciding not to appear at the Professional Footballers' Association awards event despite being selected in the Premier League 2024/25 team of the year. 'I've kept quiet for a long time while others have spoken. That silence has allowed people to push their own version of events, even though they know it doesn't reflect what was really said and agreed behind closed doors,' Isak posted on Instagram. 'The reality is that promises were made and the club has known my position for a long time. To now act as if these issues are only emerging is misleading. 'When promises are broken and trust is lost, the relationship can't continue. That's where things are for me right now - and why change is in the best interests of everyone, not just myself.' According to reports, Isak had been promised an improved contract only for northeast side Newcastle to hold off due to pressures of meeting financial sustainability rules. Newcastle responded with a statement late Tuesday saying that while they were saddened by Isak's comments, they could yet welcome the 25-year-old back into the squad. 'We are disappointed to have been alerted to a social media post by Alexander Isak this evening,' the club wrote. 'We are clear in response that Alex remains under contract and that no commitment has ever been made by a club official that Alex can leave Newcastle United this summer. 'We want to keep our best players, but we also understand players have their own wishes and we listen to their views.' The statement added: 'This is a proud football club with proud traditions and we strive to retain our family feel. Alex remains part of our family and will be welcomed back when he is ready to rejoin his teammates.' Isak has scored 62 goals in 109 appearances since joining from Real Sociedad in 2022, including the winner against Liverpool in the League Cup final earlier this year that ended Newcastle's 70-year wait to win a domestic trophy. Liverpool have already spent around £300 million overhauling a squad that romped to the Premier League title last season. But they have also recouped over £200 million in sales and are still in the market for attacking options after the departures of Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez and tragic death of Diogo Jota. Any deal is unlikely to be done before the two clubs face off in their next Premier League game on Monday at St James' Park. — AFP
