Münster, 20 March 2015. By pursuing restructuring measures and consistently
focusing on core fields of business associated with higher contribution
margins, thereby actively forgoing low-margin contracts, United Labels AG

of EUR32.0 million in the 2014 financial year (prev. year: EUR33.2
million). The Group's gross profit margin rose to 28.4% (prev. year:

At EUR1.2 million, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortisation (EBITDA) was substantially higher year on year (EUR-0.7
million). Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) also improved
significantly, up to EUR0.4 million (prev. year: EUR-1.4 million). Having
accounted for deferred taxes and interest, the Group loss for the year
amounted to EUR-1.1 million (prev. year: EUR-0.8 million).
After a successful increase in capital in the form of a follow-on offering
completed at the end of 2014, the Group's equity ratio rose from 15.6% to
22.4%, while that of United Labels AG (the parent company) increased from
