| United Labels AG / Key word(s): Quarter Results 22.05.2024 / 12:54 CET/CEST The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. United Labels AG (ISIN: DE 0005489561), one of the leading European brand manufacturers in the media/entertainment sector, generated consolidated sales of EUR 5.8 million in the first three months of the 2024 financial year (previous year: EUR 6.9 million). The decline in sales resulted from the distribution of customer campaigns before and after the reporting date. Despite these order postponements, a significantly higher gross profit margin led to consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of EUR 0.5 million (previous year: EUR 0.5 million). Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) also remained unchanged at EUR 0.4 million (previous year: EUR 0.4 million), while consolidated net profit for the first quarter of 2024 was EUR 0.3 million (previous year: EUR 0.3 million), which corresponds to a return on sales of 4.5%. However, the slight decline in sales in the first quarter does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about the year as a whole. Despite the postponement of orders, the company still expects sales and earnings to grow in 2024 as a whole. In the previous financial year 2023, United Labels generated sales of EUR 24.8 million and EBITDA of EUR 1.3 million. Peter Boder, CEO of United Labels AG, is optimistic: "I am convinced that we have a strong remaining financial year ahead of us. This is already becoming apparent, particularly in e-commerce. I am therefore confident that we will exceed the previous year's sales and earnings figures in 2024 as a whole."
