The Managing Board and the Supervisory Board of A.S. Création Tapeten AG will propose to the Annual General Meeting of 
Shareholders scheduled for May 6, 2021 to distribute a dividend of EUR 0.90 per share to the shareholders for the fiscal 
year 2020. The proposed dividend thus clearly exceeds the EUR 0.25 per share that would have been expected on the basis 
of the historical dividend policy and the preliminary figures for 2020 published on March 2, 2021. The Supervisory 
Board endorsed the Managing Board's profit appropriation proposal at today's meeting. 
In view of the great uncertainty arising from the coronavirus pandemic, last year's Annual General Meeting of 
Shareholders had decided to retain a larger proportion of the profit for the fiscal year 2019 in the company. As the 
consolidated financial statements for 2020 show, A.S. Création mastered the challenges of the COVID year 2020 very well 
and has a very solid financial structure. The decision of the Managing Board and the Supervisory Board to propose a 
dividend at the prior year level to this year's Annual General Meeting of Shareholders should be seen against this 
background. 
The consolidated financial statements for FY 2020 approved by the Supervisory Board today show consolidated revenues of 
EUR 144.9 million (previous year: EUR 141.1 million), earnings before interest and taxes of EUR 4.4 million (previous year: EUR 
4.5 million) and earnings after taxes from continuing operations of EUR 1.5 million (previous year: EUR 2.4 million). As 
the Russian and Belarusian roubles depreciated against the euro in the course of 2020, A.S. Création had to absorb 
significant exchange losses in the year under review, compared to exchange gains in 2019. Adjusted for these currency 
effects, earnings before interest and taxes for 2020 stood at EUR 8.8 million (previous year: EUR 3.4 million) and earnings 
after taxes from continuing operations at EUR 5.5 million (previous year: EUR 1.4 million). The company's earnings thus 
continued to improve in 2020. The same applies to the financial position, as evidenced by a net credit position of EUR 
11.4 million on December 31, 2020 (previous year: EUR 6.1 million).
