UNITEDLABELS AG 2000: most successful year since its establishment
- Revenues more than doubled, reaching EUR28.9m - Income increased
substantially - Solid cash resources to ensure further expansion
(Münster, 21 March 2001) UNITEDLABELS AG's revenue for the 2000
fiscal year was doubled, reaching EUR28.9m (previous year: EUR13.6m).
Achieving an increase of 129.4%, operating income grew substantially
and now stands at EUR2,904m (previous year: EUR1,299m). At the same
time, earnings before interest and taxes increased to EUR2,629m
(previous year: EUR1,395m). Within the first year after going public,
the Münster-based specialist for products sold under licence has
therefore posted a result that is more than forty per cent above the
figure of revenues and income presented as part of its IPO
performance targets. UNITEDLABELS AG's success during its first
post-IPO fiscal year is mainly attributed to the company's organic
growth of more than 80% but is also a result of its acquisition of
licensing specialists in Belgium and Spain, as well as the inclusion
of further highly successful comic characters within its portfolio.
Following the integration and organisation of its newly acquired
companies Colombine bvba (Belgium) and Jocky Team S.A. (Spain) into
fully synchronized competence centres, the comicware specialist
UNITEDLABELS AG intends to focus on global expansion in Asia and
America. For the current fiscal year, UNITEDLABELS expects to
generate revenues of EUR46m. As of December 31st, 2000 the company
was able to fall back on more than half of its funds generated as
part of its IPO.
