Hanover, 8 March 2013 - According to audited financial statements (IFRS) for
fiscal year 2012, Delticom AG (German Securities Code (WKN) 514680, ISIN
DE0005146807, stock exchange symbol DEX), Europe's leading online tyre dealer,
recorded revenues of EUR 456.4 million (-4.9% yoy). EBIT decreased in the
reporting period by 38.4% to EUR 32.6 million (2011: EUR 52.9 million),
corresponding to an EBIT margin of 7.1% (2011: 11.0%). Consolidated net income
was EUR 22.2 million or EUR 1.87 per share (basic; 2011: EUR 3.04).
Delticom's Managing Board today resolved to propose to the General Meeting a
dividend per share of EUR 1.90 for fiscal year 2012, subject to approval by the
Supervisory Board (2011: EUR 2.95). The General Meeting will be held in Hanover
on 30 April 2013.
The last years have shown that mid-term tyre demand cannot be anticipated with a
sufficient degree of reliability. At this point in time any full-year guidance
is therefore subject to considerable uncertainty, in particular with regards to
the winter tyre business. For the first half of the year with its focus on
summer tyre sales, Delticom is expected to grow revenues in its core E-Commerce
segment by up to 10% year-on-year. For the case of a satisfactory course of
business for the full year, Delticom should be able to exceed previous year's
revenues. The management assumes that company growth will once again outperform
the industry as a whole in 2013, regardless of broader sector developments.
Delticom will publish its 2012 financial statements on 21 March 2013 on its
Website www.delti.com in the Investor Relations section.
