Ad hoc announcement by United Labels AG

ISIN: DE 0005489561, WKN: 548956, Ticker: ULC
United Labels maintains dynamic revenue growth
- Quarterly revenue up 38% to EUR 13.9 million
- Order backlog grows by 56% to EUR 28.0 million
- Quarterly EBIT down on last year
Münster, 12 May 2011 - United Labels AG (ISIN: DE 0005489561), a company
specialising in comicware sold under licence, generated consolidated
revenue of EUR 13.9 million in the first quarter of 2011 (prev. year: EUR
10.1 million). EBIT for the same period amounted to EUR -0.5 million (prev.
year: EUR 0.3 million). At 31 March, order backlog had increased by 56% to
EUR 28.0 million (prev. year: EUR 17.9 million).
Revenue growth was most pronounced in Germany, Spain, Belgium and France.
In particular, the Group recorded growth in the proportion of revenue
generated from sales to key account customers, as a result of which its
profit margin and total earnings were down on last year's figures. Owing to
the seasonal focal points of its sales activities and the order backlog
already generated, the company remains confident that its profit margin for
the annual period as a whole will be comparable to that achieved in the
previous year.
As regards the company-run airport stores, two new shops are to be opened
during the current year at Madrid Airport. United Labels currently operates
ten shops at five European locations.
United Labels AG will be holding its 11th Annual General Meeting of
Shareholders in Münster on 24 May 2011. The Management Board has put
forward a proposal for a dividend payment of EUR 0.15 per share.
