Beate Uhse AG reported consolidated earnings results for 2015. The company reported adjusted EBIT of EUR 0.8 million and unadjusted LBIT of EUR 13.3 million. The company reported sales of EUR 128.8 million in the reporting year (previous year: EUR 142.9 million). This represents a decrease of 9.9%; on a like-for-like basis, however, sales dropped by just 1.7%. Loss before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) in the 2015 financial year came to EUR 5.3 million compared with EBITDA of EUR 10.3 million for the previous year. Loss before interest and taxes (EBIT) amounted to EUR 13.3 million compared with EBIT of EUR 5.0 million for previous year. LBT totalled EUR 16.2 million, after EBT of EUR 2.4 million in 2014. A consolidated net loss of EUR 18.4 million was reported. This result reduced the Group's equity ratio to its current level of 11.4% (previous year: 28.2%).

The company expects sales will decline further in 2016 as a result of the closure of 16 stores and the discontinuation of the catalogue business and are expected to be between EUR 115 million and EUR 120 million. The Management Board is expecting to essentially break even with the operating result.

From 2017 onwards, the management Board is forecasting sales growth of up to 3% due to the current and future measures to further develop the B2C area. This sales growth, coupled with cost reductions, will lead to a further rise in the operating result from 2017.
