Hanover, January 31, 2007 - Delticom AG
(German Securities Code (WKN) 514680, ISIN DE0005146807, stock
exchange symbol DEX), Europe’s leading online tyre retailer, recorded
revenues totaling EUR 172 million in fiscal year 2006 - according to
preliminary figures. This means that the company’s revenues are up by
around 33% from EUR 129.2 million last fiscal year. Delticom is
listed in the Frankfurt Stock Exchange’s Prime Standard.
The company recorded revenues totaling EUR 63 million in Q4, which
traditionally brings the strongest revenues. This corresponds to an
increase of 43% compared to Q4 2005 (EUR 44.1 million). Delticom’s
strong revenue growth was driven by the positive developments in the
key area of eCommerce, where the company recorded total revenues of
around EUR 154 million during the year, up 41% year-on-year (2005:
EUR 109.16 million). 90% of annual revenues were recorded in the
eCommerce segment in 2006. This accounted for 84% in 2005.
In terms of regions, the importance of non-German sales markets
increased further during the past fiscal year, as expected. Delticom
enjoyed strong growth in the rest of the European Union, with
revenues up 43% year-on-year. This increasing international
diversification reduces the risks associated with the seasonal nature
of the business model, and means that Delticom is more independent of
extraordinary factors on the German market than other companies, in
particular bricks-and-mortar national tyre dealers.
"Fiscal year 2006 was a success," commented Dr. Andreas Prüfer,
member of Delticom’s Managing Board, and added: "Our revenues grew
according to forecast, and we slightly exceeded our target of EUR 170
million. The unusually warm winter weather in Germany did not have a
major impact on our business on the whole. We already record a good
portion of our revenues abroad. Stocks were low - in line with
forecast. However, we are still pleased that the winter has finally
hit Germany," he continued.
Delticom AG will publish the full annual financial statements for
fiscal year 2006 on April 4, 2007.
