In organic terms, i.e., adjusted for acquisition and currency effects, sales growth amounted to 4.7 percent. Both TAKKT EUROPE and TAKKT AMERICA achieved good organic growth. After four quarters of declining development, business in the US was again able to achieve solid growth, while growth in Europe was even stronger. In spite of negative currency effects, sales in the reporting currency of euros grew by 5.4 percent to EUR 291.2 (276.2) million because of the acquisition of Mydisplays, OfficeFurnitureOnline und Runelandhs. The EBITDA margin fell from 13.4 to 12.2 percent due mainly to a lower gross profit margin primarily resulting from increased freight costs. &#8220;We are satisfied with the sales development in the second quarter. In addition to that, we made great progress with our digital agenda and, for the first time, generated over half of our order intake through e-commerce,&#8221; said Felix Zimmermann, CEO of TAKKT.<\/p>\n<p>In the first half of the year, sales increased 0.4 percent to EUR 567.2 (565.0) million. The aforementioned acquisitions contributed to growth with a total of 4.5 percentage points, while negative currency effects caused a decrease of 5.9 percentage points. Organic sales growth was 1.8 percent. In the first half of 2018, the EBITDA margin of 12.2 (14.5) percent was considerably below the level of the previous year due to restrained growth, increased freight costs and planned higher expenditures for the implementation of the digital agenda.<\/p>\n<p>For the second half of the year, TAKKT assumes a continuation of the improved growth from the second quarter and confirms the forecast of organic growth between two and four percent for 2018. At the same time, the TAKKT Management expects an increase in profitability for the second half of the year. CFO Claude Tomaszewski explains: &#8220;From today&#8217;s perspective, we expect a good growth dynamic in the second half of the year. In order to increase profitability, we also review our costs and will to some extent adjust our prices as a result of the increased freight costs.&#8221; The Group anticipates an EBITDA margin at the lower end of the corridor of the 13 to 14 percent projected at the beginning of the year. Depending on the further course of the trade conflicts that are increasing worldwide, an EBITDA margin of slightly under 13.0 percent cannot be entirely excluded.<\/p>\n<p><b>Conference call: July 26, 2018, at 3:00 p.m. (CEST).<\/b><br \/>\nThe login details to participate in the earnings call are available at the following link:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/link.cockpit.eqs.com\/cgi-bin\/fncls.ssp?fn=redirect&amp;url=c28235fe6861d7e8cdc525f188cc29ff&amp;application_id=707989&amp;site_id=news_data&amp;application_name=news\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"text-icons\">4<\/span>www.takkt.com\/event<\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>Financial calendar<\/b><br \/>\nTAKKT will publish the figures for the first nine months on October 25, 2018.<\/p>\n<p><b>IFRS figures for the TAKKT Group as of the end of H1 2018<\/b><br \/>\n(in EUR million)<\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\ttable.tableizer-table {<br \/>\t\tfont-size: 12px;<br \/>\t\tborder: 1px solid #CCC;<br \/>\t\tfont-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;<br \/>\t\ttext-align:right;<br \/>\t}<br \/>\t.tableizer-table td {<br \/>\t\tpadding: 4px;<br \/>\t\tmargin: 3px;<br \/>\t\tborder: 1px solid #CCC;<br \/>\t}<br \/>\t.tableizer-table th {<br \/>\t\tbackground-color: #FFFFFF;<br \/>\t\tcolor: #FFF;<br \/>\t\tfont-weight: bold;<br \/>\t}<br \/><\/style>\n<table class=\"tableizer-table\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>Q2 2017<\/td>\n<td>Q2 2018<\/td>\n<td>Change in %<\/td>\n<td>H12017<\/td>\n<td>H12018<\/td>\n<td>Change in %<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>TAKKT Group sales<\/b><\/td>\n<td>276.2<\/td>\n<td>291.2<\/td>\n<td>5.4<\/td>\n<td>565.0<\/td>\n<td>567.2<\/td>\n<td>0.4<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><i>Organic growth<\/i><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>4.7<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>1.8<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>TAKKT EUROPE<\/td>\n<td>138.4<\/td>\n<td>159.5<\/td>\n<td>15.2<\/td>\n<td>289.6<\/td>\n<td>319.5<\/td>\n<td>10.3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><i>Organic growth<\/i><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>5.9<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>3.2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>TAKKT AMERICA<\/td>\n<td>137.9<\/td>\n<td>131.7<\/td>\n<td>-4.4<\/td>\n<td>275-6<\/td>\n<td>247.9<\/td>\n<td>-10.0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><i>Organic growth<\/i><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>3.4<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>0.4<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>EBITDA<\/b><\/td>\n<td>37.1<\/td>\n<td>35.6<\/td>\n<td>-4.0<\/td>\n<td>82.0<\/td>\n<td>69.0<\/td>\n<td>-15.9<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><i>EBITDA margin (%)<\/i><\/td>\n<td>13.4<\/td>\n<td>12.2<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>14.5<\/td>\n<td>12.2<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>EBIT<\/b><\/td>\n<td>30.2<\/td>\n<td>28.2<\/td>\n<td>-6.6<\/td>\n<td>68.1<\/td>\n<td>54.9<\/td>\n<td>-19.4<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Earnings per share<\/b>&nbsp;<i>(in EUR)<\/i><\/td>\n<td>0.28<\/td>\n<td>0.30<\/td>\n<td>7.1<\/td>\n<td>0.64<\/td>\n<td>0.58<\/td>\n<td>-10.4<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>TAKKT cash flow<\/b><\/td>\n<td>26.6<\/td>\n<td>27.4<\/td>\n<td>3.0<\/td>\n<td>58.5<\/td>\n<td>52.9<\/td>\n<td>-9.6<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><i>TAKKT cash flow margin (%)<\/i><\/td>\n<td>9.6<\/td>\n<td>9.4<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>10.4<\/td>\n<td>9.3<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><b>About TAKKT AG<\/b><br \/>\nTAKKT is the leading B2B direct marketing specialist for business equipment in Europe and North America.

Juli 2018. Die Gesch\u00e4ftsentwicklung im zweiten Quartal 2018 hat sich wie erwartet sp\u00fcrbar verbessert. Organisch, d.h. bereinigt um Akquisitions- und W\u00e4hrungseffekte, lag das Umsatzwachstum bei 4,7 Prozent. Sowohl TAKKT EUROPE als auch TAKKT AMERICA erzielten gute organische Zuw\u00e4chse. Dabei konnte das US-Gesch\u00e4ft nach vier Quartalen mit einer r\u00fcckl\u00e4ufigen Entwicklung wieder ein solides Wachstum vorweisen, w\u00e4hrend Europa sogar st\u00e4rker zulegte. Trotz negativer W\u00e4hrungseffekte wuchs der Umsatz in der Berichtsw\u00e4hrung Euro aufgrund der Beitr\u00e4ge der Akquisitionen Mydisplays, OfficeFurnitureOnline und Runelandhs um 5,4 Prozent auf 291,2 (276,2) Millionen Euro. Die EBITDA-Marge ging vor allem aufgrund einer niedrigeren Rohertragsmarge im Wesentlichen infolge h\u00f6herer Frachtkosten von 13,4 auf 12,2 Prozent zur\u00fcck. \"Wir sind mit der Umsatzentwicklung im zweiten Quartal zufrieden. Zudem sind wir mit unserer Digitalen Agenda gut vorangekommen und haben erstmals mehr als die H\u00e4lfte des Auftragseingangs \u00fcber E-Commerce-Kan\u00e4le erzielt\", kommentiert der TAKKT-Vorstandsvorsitzende Felix Zimmermann.<\/p><p>Im ersten Halbjahr stieg der Umsatz um 0,4 Prozent auf 567,2 (565,0) Millionen Euro. Die oben genannten Akquisitionen trugen mit insgesamt 4,5 Prozentpunkten zum Wachstum bei, w\u00e4hrend negative W\u00e4hrungseffekte mit 5,9 Prozentpunkten belasteten. Organisch lag das Umsatzwachstum bei 1,8 Prozent. Die EBITDA-Marge war mit 12,2 (14,5) Prozent aufgrund des verhaltenen Wachstums, gestiegener Frachtkosten und den geplanten h\u00f6heren Ausgaben f\u00fcr die Umsetzung der Digitalen Agenda im ersten Halbjahr 2018 deutlich niedriger als im Vorjahr.<\/p><p>F\u00fcr das zweite Halbjahr geht TAKKT von einer Fortsetzung des verbesserten Wachstums aus dem zweiten Quartal aus und best\u00e4tigt die Prognose eines organischen Wachstums von zwei bis vier Prozent f\u00fcr 2018. Gleichzeitig erwartet das TAKKT-Management eine Steigerung der Profitabilit\u00e4t in der zweiten Jahresh\u00e4lfte. Finanzvorstand Claude Tomaszewski erl\u00e4utert: \"Im zweiten Halbjahr rechnen wir aus heutiger Sicht mit einer guten Wachstumsdynamik. Zur Steigerung der Profitabilit\u00e4t \u00fcberpr\u00fcfen wir zudem unsere Kosten und werden teilweise die Preise infolge gestiegener Frachtkosten anpassen.\" Der Konzern rechnet mit einer EBITDA-Marge am unteren Ende des zu Jahresbeginn prognostizierten Korridors von 13 bis 14 Prozent. In Abh\u00e4ngigkeit des weiteren Verlaufs der weltweit zunehmenden Handelskonflikte kann eine EBITDA-Marge leicht unterhalb von 13,0 Prozent dabei nicht g\u00e4nzlich ausgeschlossen werden.<\/p><p>Konferenzschaltung: 26.
