KPS AG: 2017 Annual General Meeting recognizes dynamic business performance
and resolves increase in dividend to EUR 0.33 per share
Unterföhring, 10 April 2017 - The Annual General Meeting of KPS AG (ISIN:
DE000A1A6V48), held in Munich on 7 April 2017, approved all resolutions
proposed by the management by a large majority. The Annual General Meeting
resolved a dividend payment of EUR 0.33 per share.
With an attendance of 81.8% of the share capital, the AGM of KPS AG took
place in Munich on 7 April 2017 in Munich. The shareholders approved the
actions of the Executive Board and the Supervisory Board and followed all of
the management's proposals with significant majorities. The Annual General
Meeting resolved unanimously to increase the dividend to EUR 0.33 per share
as compared to EUR 0.30 per share in the previous year, as proposed by the
management. Due to the dynamic business development during the past
financial year, KPS' shareholders could profit again by receiving an
attractive dividend.
In his report, Executive Board member Leonardo Musso reviewed the business
performance in the past year and provided an outlook for KPS's future
development. "In fiscal year 2015/2016, we again exceeded our targets. With
an average annual growth rate of 19 percent since 2011, we have impressively
succeeded in conquering additional market shares in recent years. The German
home market is already dominated by KPS, now we have to prove our
competences abroad", emphasised Leonardo Musso.
The Executive Board of KPS AG looks confidently into the current financial
year 2016/2017 and confirmed its forecast of a dynamic business development
with an increase in sales to an anticipated EUR 160 million and an improved
operating result (EBIT) of EUR 25 million. This corresponds to an increase
in sales of around 10 percent and the operating result by around 12 percent
compared to the previous financial year.
