2007-06-14
Asseco Business Solutions (ABS), a company from the Asseco Poland group, is to enter the Warsaw Stock Exchange (GPW) this autumn. The possible date of the stock market debut is 20 September. The IPO is to bring in around PLN 70m (€18.2m) and the funds are to be used chiefly for acquisitions.
According to the company’s representatives, ABS is to buy only domestic companies, while the foreign expansion will be carried out by the parent company. The firm is going to acquire companies whose offer would complement that of ABS.
Asseco Business Solutions has not yet revealed its forecast for 2007, but its representatives claim that revenues of PLN 100m (€26m) and net profit of around PLN 13m (€3.4m) should be feasible.
ABS was created as a result of the merger of Safo, Softlab, WA-PRO and Incenti and is one of the leaders in the Polish market of ERP systems.
