PRESS RELEASE 
Hawesko Group: Annual General Meeting approves payment of a dividend of EUR 2.00 per share 
 
- Hawesko Group to pay dividend for 23rd consecutive year 
- Significant EBIT increase expected in Q2 2021 
 
Hamburg, June 15, 2021. The Annual General Meeting of the wine trading group Hawesko Holding AG (HAW, HAWG.DE, 
DE0006042708) today approved the payment of a dividend of EUR 2.00 per share (EUR 1.60 regular plus EUR 0.40 special 
dividend) for the 2020 financial year, payable from June 18, 2021. The company's shareholders will thus receive a 
dividend payment that, including the special dividend, is 14% higher than the level of the previous year. This 
corresponds to a dividend yield of around 4% based on a share price of EUR 52 on June 14, 2021. With this distribution, 
Hawesko Holding AG is continuing its longstanding uninterrupted dividend tradition: the group's shareholders have 
received a dividend every year since the IPO in 1998. 
All the proposals of the corporate bodies met with the approval of the virtual Shareholders' Meeting, and the 
regulations were fulfilled. At the same time, the Group provided an insight into the current business development: the 
Group's operating result (EBIT) in the second quarter (April 1 to June 30) 2021 is developing significantly better than 
in the previous year and, according to preliminary estimates for the individual quarter, is between EUR 13.4 million and 
EUR 15.4 million (same period of the previous year: EUR 9.2 million). This means that earnings for the first half of 2021 
will amount to between EUR 29 million and EUR 31 million (prior-year period: EUR 13.1 million) and are thus expected to more 
than double compared with the previous year. 
The course of the rest of the fiscal year is very much dependent on the duration and design of the measures to combat 
the COVID 19 pandemic, but also on consumer reaction following its easing. The last few months of this year have shown 
that the development is clearly different from what was expected. It is not yet possible to predict the extent to which 
the trends of recent months will change as a result of the easing measures taking place and vaccination levels rising. 
Against this background, it is still not possible at present to make a serious forecast of business development for the 
remainder of the fiscal year. "We are confident, however, that we will be able to make a clearer statement on the 
annual forecast in the half-yearly report," comments the Chairman of the Board of Management of the Hawesko Group, 
Thorsten Hermelink. 
A detailed analysis and the interim financial statements will be published on August 11, 2021 in the half-year report 
as of June 30, 2021.
