The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. =---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HY1 2021 sales increased by +29%, profit surged by approximately +150% Accelerated by declining coronavirus incidences, the success of vaccination programs and investments in the digitisation and internationalisation of the business, the Fielmann Group's recovery gained pace in Q2 2021 across all major markets. Our sales and profits grew by double digits over last year. HY1 2021 (preliminary results) External sales, including VAT and changes in inventories, increased by +29% to EUR 919 million (previous year: EUR 712.7 million). Group sales rose +29% to EUR 790 million (previous year: EUR 610.8 million). We expect profit before taxes (EBT) to have risen by approximately +150% to around EUR 95 million (previous year: EUR 37.5 million). Outlook Based on the swift recovery during the course of the first half of 2021, we expect for the full year external sales of about EUR1.9 billion (previous year: EUR1.6 billion), group sales of circa EUR1.7 billion (previous year: EUR1.4 billion) and a pre-tax profit of around EUR200 million (previous year: EUR175.5 million). This prognosis is contingent on the assumption that no major, coronavirus-related restrictions will impact our business during the course of the year =---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 08-Jul-2021 CET/CEST The DGAP Distribution Services include Regulatory Announcements, Financial/Corporate News and Press Releases.
