BBH has successfully executed its restructuring in 2019
Beter Bed Holding, excluding Matratzen Concord, has shown strong like-for-like sales growth in the
Benelux region (+4.3%) and in new business (+8.1%) throughout 2019
Matratzen Concord caused liquidity constraints leading to the divestment decision
Reported 2019 Financials for BBH, excluding Matratzen Concord and including IFRS16, were: € 21.2 million EBITDA and a € 4.2 million net loss
Realised a stable (financial) platform for the future through the successful transformation, including amongst others:

Sale and leaseback of three distribution centers
Shareholder loan provided by three major shareholders
Issuance of ordinary shares
Since the start of 2020 main focus is on acceleration of the retail business in the Benelux and Sweden and the wholesale activities of DBC
