Segment Perspective FY 2019 – Solid organic Growth

Portfolio Optimizations soften reported View

  • Sustainable growth in OOH Media supported by local/regional sales initiatives and strong national demand
  • Strong profitable growth of Digital OOH overcompensates effects from portfolio changes within the segment
  • changes within the segment; material reshaping and restructuring efforts especially in call center business

Transition of net Income to net Income (adjusted) Continuing Operations

Development of Net Income (adjusted) Comment

  • Net income adjusted is central parameter of our dividend policy
  • Growth in Net Income (adjusted) vs. PY basically driven by improved operational performance 199
    • Exceptional expenses linked mainly to integration reorganization efforts
    • Adjustments in D&A mainly refer to PPA related amortization
