Munich, January 29th 2010 - zooplus AG (WKN 511170, ISIN DE0005111702,
ZO1), Europe's leading online pet supplies retailer has today published its
preliminary revenue figures for FY2009. Total revenue of EUR 129 mm
represents an annual growth rate of 51% (FY2009 vs. FY2008). Total revenue
consists of approximately EUR 123 mm in sales and around EUR 6 mm in
additional income.
'We have again been able to prove the sustainability of our highly dynamic
business model. With total sales of EUR 129 mm we have reached a new
all-time high in the company's history' says Dr. Cornelius Patt, CEO and
Co-founder of the company.
For the future, experts predict further strong eCommerce growth - an
assessment which zooplus' performance during 2009 again strongly
underscores. This is also reflected in a recent study by the ECC according
to which two thirds of all participating eCommerce retailers expect to grow
in 2010 - despite the backdrop of a continuing weak overall economic
environment as well as consumer climate.
Nevertheless, zooplus' management is optimistic to continue the company's
success story. Pet supplies eCommerce continues to grow strongly whilst the
European expansion puts zooplus on an ever stronger overall base. The
company is active with more than 7000 products in 16 European markets in
total.
Dr. Cornelius Patt emphasizes: 'We are optimistic regarding 2010. Already
in January we are seeing that our growth dynamics are continuing on a
strong basis into the new year'.
The company's 2009 annual report will be published on March 31st 2010 and
