All 30 countries comprising the zooplus AG portfolio generated strong sales allowing them to report another period of double-digit sales growth. Dr. Cornelius Patt, CEO of zooplus AG, commenting on the positive business development of the first half-year said: “Our year-on-year sales growth of 29% in the first half-year shows that we continue to maintain a high growth rate and even surpass the rate achieved in the first quarter. Growth drivers in the first half-year included not only recurring sales with existing customers but also a 28% rise in sales with new customers. Despite the ongoing, highly competitive market environment, sales growth will continue to be our top priority in the quarters ahead and enable us to further strengthen our competitive position while at the same time improve our operating efficiency.” zooplus will release its full report for the first half of 2016 on August 18, 2016 and make it available for download on its website at investors.zooplus.com.
