2015/16 financial year (covering the period 01.04.2016 - 30.06.2016).

affected by the exchange rate for USD, and at the same time it was negatively af- fected by the ceased income from leaseholders, as the premises in Nørresundby was sold. Adjusted for the mentioned effects, revenue growth was 12%. Revenue apportioned across RTX's business units was as follows:

Design Services increased revenue by DKK 1.2 million corresponding to an in- crease of 4.1% (after exchange effect 5.7%).
The Group's gross profit increased from DKK 52.8 million to DKK 61.6 million and as a consequence of the revenue mix, the Group's gross margin increased from 55.1% to 59.1%.
Capacity costs were affected by increased external lease costs as a consequence of the sale of the premises in Nørresundby (see announcement 76/2015) and in- creased staff costs as a consequence of the higher level of activity.
Operating profit (EBIT) totalled DKK 18.8 million compared to DKK 16.1 million last year corresponding to a growth of 16.8%.

RTX INTERIM REPORT FOR THE THIRD QU ARTER OF 2015/16 4/14
MANAGEMENT REPORT
COMMENTS ON DEVELOPMENTS FOR THE THIRD QUARTER
OF THE 2015/16 FINANCIAL YEAR
WITH REFERENCE TO THE GROUP'S FINANCIAL FIGURES FOR THE THIRD QUARTER OF 2015/16The Group posted revenue of DKK
104.3 million for the third quarter of the 2015/16 financial year compared to DKK 95.8 million for the same peri- od last year, which corresponds to an
increase of 8.9%. Revenue in the quar- ter is negatively affected both by the USD exchange rate and the sale of the premises as per 1 January 2016, which has negatively affected revenue by DKK
0.9 million. Adjusted for these effects
the increase in revenue in the quarter
was 12.0%.
Business Communications posted
a revenue increase of DKK 8.2 mil- lion, corresponding to 12.7%, for the third quarter 2015/16. Corrected for exchange rate effects the increase amounted to 15.5%. In the quarter, the sale increased to both major custom- ers as well as small and medium-sized customers. In the quarter an agree- ment was reached to develop a 2.4
GHz based communication system for a major Chinese distributor. In contrast to DECT, 2.4 GHz is used all over the
world, so the system will help Business Communications in the future to deliver communication solutions for new geo- graphical markets, where DECT based solutions are not applicable. The system is launched in cooperation with the customer in the second half of the next financial year. Furthermore, at the end of this financial year and in the coming
year, the business unit will invest in the development of a new product range complementing the existing communi- cation solutions. The target group for
these new products is the business
unit's existing customers.
Design Services posted revenue of DKK 31.6 million for the third quarter, corresponding to an increase of 4.1% compared to last year. Corrected for exchange rate effects the increase amounted to 5.7%. The increase mainly comes from the demand for RTX's customer-financed development projects, and during the quarter new
significant development contracts have been signed within the audio segment, which will affect the next financial year positively. In the quarter, the business unit has finalized an innovation project within one of the core technological ar- eas. The innovation project is expected to attract a new customer group to the business unit during the coming years.
The revenue growth resulted in an in- crease in gross profit of DKK 8.9 million for the third quarter 2015/16, and as
a consequence of the revenue mix, the Group's gross margin increased from 55.1% to 59.1% for the third quarter of 2015/16.
Overhead costs (i.e. other external
costs and staff costs) amounted to DKK
42.1 million, which is DKK 5.8 million higher than last year. There are two main reasons for the increase. As a
consequence of the increased activity level and the growing order book in both business units, RTX has increased staff by 23 new employees compared
to last year. After the sale of the prem- ises as per 1 January 2016, capacity costs now include costs for external lease of the building.
Development costs totalled DKK 6.9 million for the third quarter compared to last year's figure of DKK 6.3 million.
As planned, depreciation fell from DKK 1.7 million in the third quarter of 2014/15 to DKK 0.7 million for the
third quarter of 2015/16, primarily be- cause of the sale of the premises.
Operating profit (EBIT) for the third quarter of 2015/16 was DKK 18.8 mil- lion against DKK 16.1 million for the same period last year.
Net financial income resulted in an income of DKK 1.6 million compared to the same period last year when net
financial income resulted in an expense of DKK 1.4 million. The changes are the result of exchange rate fluctuations for USD and income from the company's securities portfolio.
Profit before tax for the third quarter of 2015/16 amounted to DKK 20.4 million compared to a profit of DKK 14.7 mil- lion for the same period last year.
Profit after tax for the third quarter of 2015/16 amounted to DKK 15.8 million compared to DKK 14.7 million for the same period last year.
In the third quarter, the company used the authorization from the Annual Gen- eral Meeting to undertake further share buybacks during the quarter, which had a negative impact on equity. The equity ratio amounted to 80.7% at the end of the third quarter compared to 74.5% last year. The Group's balance sheet to- tal was DKK 346.3 million at the end of the third quarter. This is a decrease of DKK 3.8 million compared to the same time last year.
