MBB SE confirms preliminary figures and proposes a special dividend following a highly successful year 2017

Berlin, 11 April 2018 - MBB SE (ISIN DE000A0ETBQ4), a medium-sized family business, confirms the already published preliminary figures for 2017 and proposes a special dividend following a highly successful year 2017.

In 2017, MBB SE generated record revenue of € 403.1 million (prior year € 332.2 million) and thus grew by 21.3%. Adjusted for IPO effects, EBITDA reached a new all-time high at € 38.9 million (prior year € 30.4 million) with a margin of 9.6%. Adjusted consolidated earnings amounted to € 13.4 million (prior year € 14.3 million) leading to adjusted earnings per share of € 2.06 (prior year € 2.16) amid higher minorities following the Aumann IPO. As already published, reported earnings per share amount to € 0.71.

Group liquidity increased significantly to € 279.2 million (prior year € 77.4 million) while net cash increased to € 222.0 million (prior year € 22.2 million). The significant value creation thanks to the IPO as well as the capital increase of Aumann is reflected in the notable equity increase to € 385.1 million (prior year € 98.4 million) which corresponds to an equity ratio of 63.0% (prior year 36.9%).

Management views its equity as well as liquidity base as an excellent basis to pursue its ambitious growth strategy through organic as well as M&A driven growth. For 2017, the Board will propose to the annual general meeting on 28 June 2018 a dividend of € 0.66 per share (prior year € 0.61 per share) as well as a special dividend of the same amount. The total dividend hence corresponds to € 8.7 million. Since its IPO, MBB hence pays stable or increasing dividends.

For 2018, MBB guides for double-digit revenue and earnings growth to more than € 500 million in revenues as well as earnings per share of € 2.30 - 2.45.

The 2017 annual report will be published on 25 April 2018 while the financial report for the first quarter 2018 will be published on 14 May 2018. Both will be available for download atwww.mbb.com.
