Letter from the CEO

Albrecht Hornbach, Chief Executive Officer of HORNBACH Management AG

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

The return to normality we all hoped for after two years of the coronavirus pandemic failed to materialize. The 2022/23 financial year was rather shaped by geopolitical and macroeconomic predicaments. The invasion of Ukraine, the impact of sanctions, and the conversion in the European supply of energy and commodities led to significant price growth. As a result, we saw a sharp rise in inflation and falling purchasing power across the world and in all countries in which the HORNBACH Group operates, factors which placed a massive strain on public and private household finances. Procuring merchandise also remained a challenge given repeated lockdowns in China at the beginning of the financial year. Time and again, we were called on to act quickly and respond to sometimes grave external influences.

Today more than ever, successfully running a retail business means speed, adaptability, and anticipating people's needs at an early stage. A glance at Kundenmonitor 2022, the customer survey which ranked us first among DIY stores in Germany for customer satisfaction, shows how well we managed this in the past financial year. In Sweden and the Netherlands, we held top position in the "Retailer of the Year 2022" survey.

Thanks to our popularity with customers and our attractive range of products and services, and in particular the focus on our permanently low price guarantee and our highly developed project expertise, we were able to increase our consolidated sales by 6.6 percent to € 6.3 billion in the past financial year. Of consolidated sales, 93 percent were contributed by HORNBACH Baumarkt AG, which now operates 171 locations, while the remain-der was generated at HORNBACH Baustoff Union, which runs 39 builders' merchant outlets in Germany and France. In both segments, sales were significantly higher than before the pandemic and, driven by consist-ently strong demand and inflation, grew in all quarters of the past financial year.

The online share of DIY store sales, including click & collect, stood at 14.1 percent in the 2022/23 financial year. We generated sales of € 823 million in this area. As expected, due to declining demand for click & collect
