Annual financial report 2017/2018
Annual Report Classification · 100% confidence The document contains a comprehensive set of financial tables (Key financial figures, balance sheet, income statement data), a detailed table of contents for an annual report (including management reports, corporate governance, and consolidated financial statements), and narrative sections describing the company's business, strategy, and author interviews. It is clearly the full annual report document, not an announcement or summary. FY 2018

Report Publication Announcement 2018
Report Publication Announcement Classification · 100% confidence The document is very short (1568 characters) and its primary function is to announce *when* and *where* other financial reports (specifically the 'Annual financial report of the group') will be disclosed on a future date (July 31, 2018). It explicitly states: 'Bastei Lübbe AG hereby announces that the following financial reports shall be disclosed'. This perfectly matches the definition of a Report Publication Announcement (RPA), which covers announcements regarding the timing or release of company reports, rather than being the report itself (like a 10-K or IR).

Hinweis auf Jahresfinanzbericht vom 01.04.2017 bis zum 31.03.2018
Report Publication Announcement Classification · 100% confidence The document is a short notification (778 characters) informing stakeholders that the Annual Financial Report for the period 01.04.2017 to 31.03.2018 is available for download on the company's website. It does not contain the report itself, but rather acts as a formal announcement of its publication. Following the 'Menu vs Meal' rule, this is classified as a Report Publication Announcement (RPA).

Datum:11.07.2018
Report Publication Announcement Classification · 100% confidence The document is a short notification (763 characters) titled 'Hinweis auf Jahresfinanzbericht' (Notice of Annual Financial Report). It provides the location and date where the actual financial report can be accessed online. Per the 'Menu vs Meal' rule, since this is a short announcement regarding the availability of a report rather than the report itself, it is classified as a Report Publication Announcement (RPA).

Bastei Lubbe AG: Despite positive development in core business strong burden on earnings in 2017/2018 financial year
Earnings Release Classification · 100% confidence The document is a press release dated June 14, 2018, titled 'Bastei Lübbe AG: Despite positive development in core business strong burden on earnings in 2017/2018 financial year'. It explicitly states that it is based on 'provisional calculations' and provides preliminary financial figures (revenue, EBITDA, EBIT) for the 2017/2018 financial year. Crucially, it announces that the 'consolidated financial statements for the 2017/2018 financial year... will be published on 31 July 2018'. Since this document is an announcement of preliminary results and provides key highlights before the full report is released, it fits the definition of an Earnings Release (ER). It is not the full Annual Report (10-K) or the comprehensive Interim Report (IR), but the initial release of period results. FY 2018

Bastei Lubbe AG publishes preliminary figures for 2017/2018: Earnings hit harder despite increase in revenue from core business
Earnings Release Classification · 100% confidence The document is an 'Ad hoc disclosure' published on June 14, 2018, announcing the 'preliminary figures for 2017/2018'. It details key financial metrics like revenue, EBITDA, and EBIT, and explains negative impacts. This content—the initial release of key financial results for a period—is characteristic of an Earnings Release (ER). Although it mentions the detailed financial statements will be published later (July 31, 2018), this specific document is the preliminary announcement of those results, not the announcement of the final report's publication (RPA) or the final report itself (10-K or IR).
