Delticom AG: EUR 0.50 dividend per share for 2015
Hanover, 15 March 2016 - For Delticom (German Securities Code (WKN) 514680,
ISIN DE0005146807, stock market symbol DEX), Europe's leading online tyre
dealer, 2015 was a successful year. In a challenging market environment the
company generated revenues of EUR 559.8 million (2014: EUR 501.7 million).
With an increase in revenues of 11.6 %, the group significantly exceeded
its full-year revenues forecast of EUR 540 million. Earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) stood at EUR 14.3
million (2014: 15.3 million). With a decrease of 6.6 %, Delticom did not
quite reach its target of matching the previous year's EBITDA. This was due
to one-off expenses incurred in the financial year 2015. Excluding
extraordinary expenses, operating earnings before depreciation amounted to
EUR 15.9 million. Consolidated net income for 2015 came in at EUR 3.4
million, after EUR 2.9 million the previous year. Earnings per share were
EUR 0.28 (2014: EUR 0.24).
At the Annual General Meeting on May 3, 2016, the Management Board and the
Supervisory Board will propose a dividend of EUR 0.50 per share (2014: EUR
0.25, +100 %). In the fiscal year 2014 - the year after the Tirendo
acquisition - Delticom for the first time in company's history with a
dividend of EUR 0.50 per share did only pay out about half of fiscal year
2013's earnings per share as dividend. One reason for this dividend cut
were possibly necessary investments into Tirendo. Following the
successfully completed restructuring process and the achieved cost savings
in 2015, part of the reserve formed in 2014 will now be used for the
dividend payment in the current fiscal year. With the marked dividend
increase the management board and the supervisory board once again would
like to enable the shareholders of Delticom AG to significantly participate
in the success of the company.
