Total revenue for the first six months of 2009 came to 1.822 billion euros, a 148-percent increase over the first half of 2008. Gross profit and EBITDA also were up significantly year-on-year: At 206.2 million euros, gross profit for Q2/2009 was 122 percent above that of Q2/2008 and EBITDA more than doubled to 75.8 million euros. For the first half of 2009, gross profit totalled 411.1 million euros (+116.2 percent vs. H´1/2008), while EBITDA came to 157.6 million euros, an 88.7-percent increase year-on-year. These figures include one-off expenses for the first half of 2009 of nearly 28 million euros, of which around 26 million euros were incurred by the Mobile Communications segment. The Group result from continued operations - i.e. without the DSL business, which has now been sold - was 11.1 million euros for Q2/2009 and 21.7 million euros for H´1/2009, after 23.4 million euros (Q2/2008) and 50.5 million euros (H´1/2008). A cash flow from operating activities of 165.4 million euros has been generated in the first half of 2009. * The previous year´s figures cited here are retrospectively adjusted figures to reflect the switch in reporting the costs of customer acquisition and retention, and the application of IFRS 5 for `discontinued operations´. Furthermore retrospective reclassifications were made within the income statement items relating to continued operations because the contract between freenet AG and 1&1 Internet AG regarding the sale of the DSL business has now been signed.
