The Management Board of Wirecard AG will propose dividend of EUR 0.14 per share for the fiscal year 2015.

Wirecard AG reported consolidated earnings results for 2015. Consolidated revenue in the group increased by 28.3% from EUR 601.0 million to EUR 771.3 million. Operating earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) was EUR 227.3 million against EUR 172.9 million last year. Cash flow from operating activities (adjusted) amounted to EUR 199.7 million against EUR 144.0 million last year. Earnings after tax increased 32.2% to EUR 142.6 million against EUR 107.9 million last year. This is equivalent to EUR 1.16 per share against EUR 0.89 per share last year. The Wirecard Group's strong organic growth in the 2015 fiscal year was based on vigorous growth of the e-commerce core business. This is due to market growth and the resulting rise in transaction volumes from currently 22,000 existing customers, as well as the sales successes achieved with new customers and partners.

The company expects operating earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of between EUR 290 million and EUR 310 million in 2016. This growth forecast is based on the market growth of online transactions in Europe, dynamic development of global business, particularly in Asia, and activities in the area of mobile services, as well as on ability to open up new business areas.
