HORNBACH-Baumarkt-AG reduces forecast
Bornheim bei Landau, November 27, 2012.
The Board of Management of HORNBACH-Baumarkt-AG has updated its sales and
earnings forecast for the current 2012/2013 financial year (March 1, 2012
to February 28, 2013) to account for the unfavorable macroeconomic
framework in Europe. Full-year consolidated sales for 2012/2013 are now
expected at around the previous year's figure of Euro 3.0 billion.
Previously, the target was to generate sales growth in a low single-digit
percentage range.
This more cautious assessment of the company's ongoing business performance
is due to the deterioration in consumer confidence in the second half of
2012/2013. Given the weaker sales performance, the earnings forecast for
the HORNBACH-Baumarkt-AG Group has also been adjusted. Accordingly, the
Board of Management now expects operating earnings (EBIT) for the 2012/2013
financial year to fall short of the record figure of Euro 128 million
reported for the 2011/2012 financial year.
Further details will be released upon publication of the interim report for
the first nine months of 2012/2013 on December 21, 2012
(www.hornbach-group.com).
