please see explanation regarding net result* below In the first three quarters of the business year 2015/2016, DO & CO reports sales of EUR 710.5 million (PY: EUR 597.8 million) which represents an increase of EUR 112.7 million or 18.9% compared to the same period in previous year. EBITDA increased from EUR 58.9 million by EUR 11.2 million to EUR 70.1 million. EBITDA margin amounts to 9.9%. The consolidated EBIT of the DO & CO Group for the first three quarters of the business year 2015/2016 amounts to EUR 45.2 million which represents an increase of EUR 5.5 million compared to the same period in the previous year (PY: EUR 39.7 million). EBIT margin amounts to 6.4% in the first three quarters of the business year 2015/2016. The net result* of the first three quarters of the business year 2015/2016 amounts to EUR 24.1 million (PY: EUR 28.8 million). The reduction of the net result in the first three quarters of the business year 2015/2016 compared to the same period of the previous year is due to the positive one-off effect of the total return equity swap (a derivative transaction carried out with UniCredit) of EUR 11.4 million in the first three quarters of the previous period. Adjusted for this one-off effect, the net result in the first three quarters of the previous period stands at EUR 17.4 million. Thus, the net result of the first three quarters of the business year 2015/2016 exceeds the net result of the first three quarters of the previous period, adjusted for this one-off effect, by EUR 6.7 million or 38.5%. Earnings per share of the first three quarters of the business year 2015/2016 amount to EUR 2.48 (PY: EUR 3.00). Earnings per share are up by EUR 0.66 compared to the same period of the previous year, adjusted for the one-off effect resulting from the total return equity swap entered into with UniCredit and amounting to EUR 1.81.
