/ Key word(s): Interim Report/Quarter Results
In the first quarter, the E-Commerce segment achieved a year-on-year increase in revenue of a good 65 percent, while the Retail segment grew by 22 percent. The B2B segment was below the previous year's level with a revenue development of -7 percent due to a lack of revenue in the catering and hotel sectors, although the German B2B subsidiaries were slightly up on the previous year. Overall, the operating result developed very positively: In the E-Commerce segment, EBIT almost quadrupled to ? 9.7 million (previous year: ? 2.5 million). In the Retail segment, earnings more than doubled to ? 6.4 million (previous year: ? 2.5 million). Despite ongoing closures in the food service and hotel sectors, the B2B segment generated a result of ? 1.1 million (previous year: ? -99 thousand). The Chairman of the Board of Management of the Hawesko Group, Thorsten Hermelink, comments: "Even in the Corona crisis, our formats such as HAWESKO, Jacques', Vinos and Wein & Co. are proving strong. We want to further expand the market position of the Hawesko Group as Europe's largest, most innovative and most profitable wine trading group in the premium segment. In doing so, we can rely not only on our innovative strength but also on our high level of wine expertise and decades of experience in the wine market." The course of the rest of the financial year is very much dependent on the duration and form of the measures to combat the COVID 19 pandemic, but also on consumer reaction following its easing. Against this backdrop, it is not currently possible to make a reliable forecast of business performance for the remainder of the financial year. # # # As a leading trading group for high-quality wines, champagnes and spirits, the Hawesko Group achieved sales of ? 620 million and EBIT of ? 42 million in 2020. The Hawesko Group employs around 1,200 people across the Retail (Jacques' and Wein & Co.), B2B (especially Wein Wolf, Abayan and Grand Cru Select) and e-commerce (especially HAWESKO, Vinos and WirWinzer) segments. The shares in Hawesko Holding AG are listed on the Hanseatic Stock Exchange, Hamburg, and in the Prime Standard segment of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.
