Hawesko Holding AG announced consolidated sales results for the year 2015. For the period, the company's sales rose from €472.8 million to €476.6 million, corresponding to an increase of 0.8% and meeting the expectations of the management board. Adjusted for the advance sales of the Bordeaux subscription wines and the sales of the terminated wholesale operations in Bordeaux, sales increased by 1.7%.

The company provided consolidated earnings guidance for the year 2015. For the period, the company's consolidated operating result (EBIT) of the company is in the range of €26-27 million on an adjusted basis (previous year, adjusted: €24.6 million), so that the expectations of the management board have been confirmed in this regard as well. The figure is adjusted for non-recurring charges of approximately €7 million in conjunction with the change-of-control.

As a result, consolidated EBIT to be reported is in the range of €19-20 million (previous year: €20.1 million). Thus, the management board of company reckons with consolidated net income after deductions for taxes and non-controlling interests in the range of €12-13 million and €1.34-1.44 per share (previous year: €14.8 million and €1.65 per share). For the year 2016, the management board expects sales development at the level of the previous year.

However, rises in EBIT and the EBIT margin are expected - even on an adjusted basis - compared to the previous year.
