Münster, March 22, 2007 – United Labels AG (ISIN: DE 0005489561), an
enterprise specialising in comicware sold under licence, hereby confirms
the results reported on March 7, 2007, concerning the 2006 financial year,
which proved to be the most successful annual period in the company's
history. Group revenue rose by 12.4% to EUR 45.3 million (2005: EUR 40.3
million). Growth within this area was driven mainly by accelerated sales in
the key account segment. EBIT increased to EUR 2.0 million (2005: EUR 1.3
million). The EBIT margin stood at 4.4% (2005: 3.2%). Consolidated net
profit almost doubled year on year, rising to EUR 1.5 million (2005: EUR
0.8 million). Thus, earnings per share amounted to EUR 0.35 (2005: EUR
0.19).
Net cash from operating activities increased to EUR 7.4 million (2005: EUR
4.4 million). Growth within this area was attributable principally to the
solid net profit generated by the Group and an improvement in working
capital.
In achieving these results, United Labels AG exceeded its targets for FY
2006 by a significant margin. Against this backdrop, the Management Board
will be proposing a dividend payment of EUR 0.20 per share.
The financial results press conference takes place in Münster on March 22,
2007.
