Fielmann increases dividend to 2.70 per share
1st quarter of 2013: Fielmann strengthens market position
At its meeting on 11 April 2013, the Supervisory Board of Fielmann AG approved the consolidated annual accounts for financial year 2012. Fielmann increased unit sales, revenue and profit. The market leader sold 7.1 million pairs of glasses (previous year: 6.7 million), achieved external sales totalling 1.29 billion (previous year: 1.23 billion) and consolidated sales of 1.11 billion (previous year: 1.05 billion). Pre-tax profit rose to 180.6 million (previous year: 173.6 million) and net income for the year to 129.7 million (previous year: 125.4 million). Earnings per share for 2012 as a whole climbed to 3.01 (previous year: 2.91).
The Supervisory Board and Management Board of Fielmann AG will recommend to the Annual General Meeting on 11 July 2013 to pay a dividend of 2.70 per share (previous year: 2.50). The total distribution amounts to 113.4 million (previous year: 105.0 million).
Our expectations for the first quarter of financial year 2013 have been met. The first three months of the year were influenced by three fewer working days and the long winter. While the rest of the optical industry recorded a year-on-year fall in unit sales of more than 5 per cent, Fielmann once again sold 1.7 million pairs of glasses and increased its market share. External sales increased to 327.7 million (previous year: 322.3 million) and consolidated sales rose to 277.8 million (previous year: 271.5 million). The pre-tax profit was 47.1 million (previous year: 46.9 million) and net income for the quarter was 33.7 million (previous year: 33.7 million).
Fielmann is confident that it will be able to expand its market position. Customers buy from companies which guarantee the highest quality and best service at reasonable and affordable prices. In the optical industry this means Fielmann.
