The BHS tabletop group increased its sales in the 2013 calendar year by 10.7% to EUR 91.1 million against EUR 82.3 million for the last year. And the operating result also showed a positive pattern. While at EUR 3.7 million it was below the preceding year's EUR 4.3 million, the latter included a number of one-offs. Adjusted for these effects, the company with sites at Selb, Schönwald and Weiden increased its operating result from EUR 2.9 million to EUR 3.7 million and therewith by more than 25%.

For this financial year 2014, the company was optimistic and forecast another slight increase in sales and the operating result. The new year had started promising, he said; the number of BHS's orders on hand was even higher than in the previous year, which had already been very gratifying at any rate.
