Delticom continues to grow
- Revenues in H1 09 up 14% to EUR 139 million
- More than 370 thousand new customers, customer base exceeds 3 million
Hanover, 30 July 2009 - Delticom AG (German Securities Code (WKN) 514680, ISIN
DE0005146807, ticker symbol DEX), continues along its growth path, despite the
ongoing recession. According to preliminary figures, Europe's leading online tyre
dealer increased its revenues by 14% year-on-year, to EUR 139 million.
Delticom acquired 370 thousand new customers during the first six months of the current
fiscal year. In the same period 170 thousand customers made repeat purchases from
Delticom - an increase of 28% year-on-year. More than 3 million customers have opted for
the TÜV-certified online shopping from Delticom over the last 10 years since the company
was founded.
Delticom recorded in the second quarter revenues of about EUR 88 million (Q2 08: EUR 78.9
million), following revenues of EUR 51.0 million in the first quarter (Q1 08: EUR 42.6 million).
E-Commerce revenues for the first six months of the year totalled EUR 130.5 million (2008:
EUR 112.9 million, up 16%). Revenues in the Wholesale division fell slightly year-on-year
from EUR 8.6 million to EUR 8.5 million. Due to its consistent international orientation,
Delticom was able to offset cyclical and FX-related weaknesses in some countries with good
growth in other markets.
Frank Schuhardt, CFO of Delticom AG: "More and more motorists buy their tyres online. As a
result, Delticom was able to grow its business against the market trend, despite the
headwind from the economy. For the second half of the year, though, economists expect
mounting pressure on European demand in the wake of the economic downturn. We are still
confident, however, to reach the targets we have set for 2009."
Delticom AG will publish its full financial statements for the first six months on 13 August
2009.
