zooplus AG / Key word(s): Preliminary Results zooplus AG: Strong growth continues in first quarter of 2015
Dr. Cornelius Patt, CEO of zooplus AG, commenting on developments in the first three months of 2015, said: “The total sales of EUR 169 million in the first quarter of 2015 are well above the target we set for ourselves and also mark a new record high. The sales growth of 36% is again greater than the growth rate of 33% for the full year 2014. Particularly remarkable is the acceleration of growth in the German-speaking region: Sales in Germany, Austria and Switzerland increased by 27% compared to the same quarter of the previous year, while the growth for the full year 2014 was 17%. A major driver of the positive sales performance was once again the high rate of customer retention, which was again over 90% in the first quarter of 2015. Furthermore, new customer business is growing across all regions.” In light of the positive business performance in the first quarter of 2015, the Management Board of zooplus AG raised the annual target for total sales, which it now expects to amount to at least EUR 725 million in 2015. In consequence sales would exceed EUR 700 million for the first time. zooplus will publish its full report for the first three months of 2015, which will also be available as a download from investors.zooplus.com, on May 20, 2015.
