SHOP APOTHEKE EUROPE continues to grow dynamically; 2019 revenues increase to over EUR 700 million.
Venlo/Cologne, 21 January 2020. Based on preliminary and unaudited results, SHOP APOTHEKE EUROPE N.V. has clearly met its forecast for the just-ended fiscal year (balance sheet date: 31 December). The online pharmacy again grew dynamically, at a rate of c. 30%, during the 2019 financial year. Preliminary calculations show revenues of around EUR 701 million (2018: EUR 539.7 million) for the 2019 fiscal year with the adjusted EBITDA margin in the projected range of -2.0% to -2.3%. During the fourth quarter 2019, the online pharmacy increased its consolidated revenues to c. EUR 192 million after 151 during the same period a year earlier.
The dynamic revenue growth is due to the rise in the number of active customers in Europa from 3.5 million at the end of 2018 to around 4.7 million at the end of 2019. That means the increase in revenues is almost entirely the result of organic growth (28%).
The sale of prescription drugs (Rx) increased by about 11% year-on-year. “We just had a new record of receiving over 7,000 prescriptions on a single day”, says SHOP APOTHEKE EUROPE CEO Stefan Feltens. “We are expecting another substantial increase in our prescription drugs business following the nationwide launch of electronic prescriptions in Germany, which we expect to happen in 2021. Customers will then be able to benefit from all the advantages of online buying.”
SHOP APOTHEKE EUROPE will publish its detailed 2019 financial results in its consolidated financial statement for the 2019 fiscal year on 17 March 2020.
