With sales of EUR 795 m in the nine-month period (9M 2016: EUR 655 m), year-on-year growth reached 21% (currency-adjusted 22%). Sales growth in the third quarter of 2017 compared to the second quarter of 2017 accelerated again significantly. At EUR 278 m, sales in the third quarter grew 22% (currency-adjusted: 23%) compared to the same period of the prior year (Q3 2016: EUR 227 m). Underlying this performance was zooplus AG\u2019s very sustainable existing customer business throughout the year, reflected by a persistently high currency-adjusted sales retention rate of 94% in the first nine months of 2017. In addition, business with new customers, which saw a reduction in the second quarter of 2017, experienced significant growth in the third quarter of 2017. The number of registered new customers rose year-on-year by 34% in the third quarter of 2017 following just a 9% increase in the second quarter of 2017. This development underscores the fact that the actions taken to focus on our business with new customers and thereby accelerate sales growth are having an effect.<br \/>\nEarnings before taxes (EBT) in the first nine months of 2017 reached a level of EUR 4.2 m (9M 2016: EUR 11.1 m) and were affected by the stronger emphasis on expanding the company\u2019s market position and the corresponding additional expenses and investments.<br \/>\nThe clear focus on continuing to offer the market\u2019s best value for money ratio in a highly competitive market environment led to a slight decline in the gross margin. At the same time, expenses related to the sustainable acquisition of new customers increased in the third quarter of 2017, which in turn had a very positive effect on the development of business with new customers. The increase in software development capacities made it possible to continue the targeted development of our product and service offers and increase the efficiency of our ERP systems. A slight decline in average shopping cart values and the expansion in logistics capacities placed a burden on logistics costs. Two further specialized fulfillment centers are currently being integrated into the zooplus AG logistics network in M\u00fchldorf, Germany, and Boleslawiec, Poland.<br \/>\nAlongside the additional expenses and investments made to strengthen the company\u2019s market leadership in Europe, the continued weakness in the British pound versus the euro also weighed on earnings in the first nine months of the 2017 financial year.<br \/>\nOperating cash flow in the first nine months of 2017 again reached a positive value of EUR 1.5 m (9M 2016: EUR 9.6 m) despite the company\u2019s reduced earnings outlook and high growth.<br \/>\nDr. Cornelius Patt, CEO of zooplus AG, explains: &#8220;With sales of almost EUR 800 m in the first nine months of the financial year, we have been able to further strengthen our position as Europe\u2019s market leader in the extremely attractive market for the online retailing of pet supplies. We are particularly pleased with the strong increase in business with new customers in the third quarter, combined with a significant acceleration in sales growth. Expanding our strong market position is a clear priority, as shown by the rise in expenses and investments in the areas of value for money, new customer acquisitions, software development capacity and logistics infrastructure. In a market environment that continues to be highly competitive, we expect this to have a clear positive effect on the company\u2019s medium-term development. In the fourth quarter of 2017, we anticipate a further acceleration in growth supported not only by the sustainability of our existing customer business but also the continued expansion in our business with new customers.&#8221;<br \/>\nThe zooplus AG Management Board confirms its forecast updated in September 2017 for the full 2017 financial year for sales of around EUR 1.125 bn and earnings before taxes in the single-digit millions.<br \/>\nThe complete report for the first nine months of 2017 is available on the company\u2019s website at http:\/\/investors.zooplus.com. <\/p>\n<p>Company profile:<br \/>\nzooplus AG was founded in 1999 and today is Europe\u2019s leading online retailer of pet supplies measured by sales. In the 2016 financial year, sales totaled EUR 909 m, roughly 74% of which was generated internationally. The company\u2019s business model has been launched successfully in 30 European countries. zooplus sells products for all major pet breeds. The product range includes pet food (dry and wet food and food supplements) and accessories such as scratching posts, dog baskets, and toys in all price categories. In addition to a selection of over 8,000 products, zooplus customers benefit from a variety of interactive content and community offerings. The pet supplies market is an important market segment in the European retail landscape. Gross sales of pet food and accessories within the European Union amount to around EUR 26 bn. Based on the continued vigorous growth anticipated in the European ecommerce market, zooplus expects its dynamic performance to continue. <\/p>\n<p>Online at: www.zooplus.com<br \/>\nInvestor relations\/media contact:<br \/>\ncometis AG, Georg Grie\u00dfmann<br \/>\nUnter den Eichen 7, 65195 Wiesbaden<br \/>\nPhone: +49 (0)611-205855-61, Fax: +49 (0)611-205855-66<br \/>\nEmail: griessmann@dev.cometis.de, Website: www.www.cometis.de<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Text&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;light&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;left&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;]<\/p>\n<div class=\"leseprobe-archiv\"><a title=\"Post as PDF\" href=\"http:\/\/investors.zooplus.com\/downloads\/e_CN_zooplus_9M_2017.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Post as PDF<\/a><\/div>\n<style>\n.leseprobe-archiv {\n    color: #00225f !important;\n    border-color: #00225f;\n    position: relative;\n    padding: 0.3em 1em;\n    border: 1px solid;\n    -webkit-border-radius: 3px;\n    -moz-border-radius: 3px;\n    border-radius: 3px;\n   -webkit-transition: all 0.2s;\n    -moz-transition: all 0.2s;\n    transition: all 0.2s;\n    padding:10px;\n    width: 19%;\n    text-align: center;\n    margin-right: 10px;\n    float:left;\n}\n.leseprobe-archiv:hover {\n    background-color: #eee;\n    border-color: #ffffff;\n    cursor: pointer;\n}\n<\/style>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Corporate news to the archive zooplus AG: Significant growth acceleration in the third quarter of 2017 Sales increase 22% year-on-year in the third quarter of 2017 after rising 18% in the second quarter Sales in the first nine months of the financial year increase 21% to EUR 795 m Earnings before taxes (EBT) in the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24813,"featured_media":54374,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"[et_pb_section admin_label=\"section\"][et_pb_row admin_label=\"Zeile\" make_fullwidth=\"off\" use_custom_width=\"off\" width_unit=\"on\" use_custom_gutter=\"off\" custom_padding=\"||0px|\" padding_mobile=\"off\" allow_player_pause=\"off\" parallax=\"off\" parallax_method=\"off\" make_equal=\"off\" parallax_1=\"off\" parallax_method_1=\"off\" parallax_2=\"off\" parallax_method_2=\"off\" column_padding_mobile=\"on\"][et_pb_column type=\"1_2\"][et_pb_text admin_label=\"Text\" background_layout=\"light\" text_orientation=\"left\" use_border_color=\"off\" border_color=\"#ffffff\" border_style=\"solid\"]\r\n\r\n<style>\r\n.zur\u00fcckbutton:before {\r\n    display: inline-block;\r\n    font-family: \"ETmodules\";\r\n    content: \"4a\";\r\n    color: #00225f;\r\n    margin-right: 7px;\r\n}\r\n.zur\u00fcckbutton:hover:before {\r\n    display: inline-block;\r\n    font-family: \"ETmodules\";\r\n    content: \"4a\";\r\n    color: #d85710;\r\n    margin-right: 7px;\r\n}\r\n<\/style>\r\n<h1 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Corporate News<\/h1> <a class=\"zur\u00fcckbutton\" href=\"https:\/\/dev.cometis.de\/veroeffentlichungsarchiv-zooplus-ag\">zum Archiv<\/a>\r\n\r\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=\"1_2\"][et_pb_image admin_label=\"Bild\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.cometis.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/zooplus_Beitrag.jpg\" show_in_lightbox=\"off\" url_new_window=\"off\" use_overlay=\"off\" animation=\"off\" sticky=\"off\" align=\"right\" force_fullwidth=\"off\" always_center_on_mobile=\"on\" use_border_color=\"off\" border_color=\"#ffffff\" border_style=\"solid\"]\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n[\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=\"row\"][et_pb_column type=\"4_4\"][et_pb_text admin_label=\"Text\" background_layout=\"light\" text_orientation=\"left\" use_border_color=\"off\" border_color=\"#ffffff\" border_style=\"solid\"]\r\n\r\n<h1>zooplus AG: Deutliche Wachstumsbeschleunigung im dritten Quartal 2017<\/h1>\r\n<strong>\u2022 Steigerung der Umsatzerl\u00f6se im dritten Quartal 2017 gegen\u00fcber dem Vorjahr um 22% nach 18% im zweiten Quartal\r\n\u2022 Steigerung der Umsatzerl\u00f6se in den ersten neun Monaten des Gesch\u00e4ftsjahres um 21% auf 795 Mio.

November 2017<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 Die zooplus AG (WKN 511170, ISIN DE0005111702, B\u00f6rsenk\u00fcrzel ZO1), Europas f\u00fchrender Internet-H\u00e4ndler f\u00fcr Heimtierprodukte, konnte den Wachstumskurs in den ersten neun Monaten des Gesch\u00e4ftsjahres 2017 weiter fortsetzen. Mit Umsatzerl\u00f6sen in H\u00f6he von 795 Mio. EUR konnte ein Wachstum von 21% (w\u00e4hrungsbereinigt 22%) gegen\u00fcber dem Vergleichszeitraum des Vorjahres erzielt werden (9M 2016: 655 Mio. EUR). Im dritten Quartal 2017 konnte das Umsatzwachstum gegen\u00fcber dem zweiten\r\nQuartal 2017 wieder deutlich beschleunigt werden. Mit 278 Mio. EUR lag der Umsatz um 22% (w\u00e4hrungsbereinigt 23%) \u00fcber dem Vorjahresquartal (Q3 2016: 227 Mio. EUR). Das Fundament dieser Entwicklung ist das \u00fcber das gesamte Jahr sehr nachhaltige Stammkundengesch\u00e4ft der zooplus AG, was sich in einer weiterhin sehr hohen\r\numsatzbezogenen Wiederkaufrate niederschl\u00e4gt, die f\u00fcr die ersten neun Monate des Jahres 2017 wechselkursbereinigt bei 94% lag. Dar\u00fcber hinaus konnte das im zweiten Quartal 2017 geringere Neukundengesch\u00e4ft im dritten Quartal 2017 wieder deutlich ausgebaut werden. So stieg die Anzahl der registrierten Neukunden im dritten Quartal 2017 gegen\u00fcber dem Vorjahr um 34%, nachdem dieser Wert im zweiten Quartal 2017 nur bei 9% lag. Diese Entwicklung unterstreicht, dass die Ma\u00dfnahmen zur Fokussierung des Neukundengesch\u00e4fts und damit zur Beschleunigung des Umsatzwachstums Wirkung zeigen.\r\nDas Ergebnis vor Steuern (EBT) erreichte in den ersten neun Monaten des Jahres 2017 einen Wert in H\u00f6he von 4,2 Mio. EUR (9M 2016: 11,1 Mio. EUR) und wurde gepr\u00e4gt durch einen verst\u00e4rkten Fokus auf den Ausbau der Marktposition und damit verbundenen zus\u00e4tzlichen Aufwendungen und Investitionen.\r\nDie klare Ausrichtung auf ein weiterhin marktf\u00fchrendes Preis-Leistungsangebot f\u00fchrte in einem wettbewerbsintensiven Marktumfeld zu einem leichten R\u00fcckgang der Rohertragsmarge. Gleichzeitig wurden die Aufwendungen f\u00fcr die nachhaltige Neukundenakquisition im dritten Quartal 2017 erh\u00f6ht, was sich sehr positiv auf die Entwicklung des Neukundengesch\u00e4fts ausgewirkt hat. Der Ausbau der Softwareentwicklungskapazit\u00e4ten\r\nerm\u00f6glicht die gezielte Weiterentwicklung unserer Produkt- und Serviceangebote und die Steigerung der Effizienz unserer ERP-Systeme. Dar\u00fcber hinaus wurden die Logistkkosten durch einen etwas geringerwertigen durchschnittlichen Warenkorb sowie den Ausbau der Logistikkapazit\u00e4ten belastet. Aktuell werden zwei weitere spezialisierte Fulfilment Center in M\u00fchldorf, Deutschland, und in Boleslawiec, Polen, in das Logistiknetzwerk der zooplus AG integriert.\r\nNeben diesen zus\u00e4tzlichen Aufwendungen und Investitionen in die St\u00e4rkung der Marktf\u00fchrerschaft von zooplus in Europa belastete auch die anhaltende Schw\u00e4che des britischen Pfunds gegen\u00fcber dem Euro das Ergebnis in den ersten neun Monaten des Gesch\u00e4ftsjahres 2017.\r\nDer operative Cash-Flow erreichte in den ersten neun Monaten 2017 trotz des reduzierten Ergebnisausblicks und des hohen Wachstums erneut einen positiven Wert von 1,5 Mio. EUR (9M 2016: 9,6 Mio. EUR). \r\nDr. Cornelius Patt, Vorstandsvorsitzender der zooplus AG, erl\u00e4utert: \u201eMit Umsatzerl\u00f6sen von fast 800 Mio. EUR in den ersten neun Monaten des Gesch\u00e4ftsjahres konnten wir unsere Position als europ\u00e4ischer Marktf\u00fchrer im weiterhin \u00fcberaus attraktiven Online-Handel f\u00fcr Heimtierprodukte weiter st\u00e4rken. Besonders erfreulich ist f\u00fcr uns der starke Anstieg des Neukundengesch\u00e4fts im dritten Quartal verbunden mit einer deutlichen Beschleunigung des Umsatzwachstums. Der Ausbau unserer starken Marktposition steht ganz klar im Vordergrund.\r\nDies dr\u00fcckt sich durch die erh\u00f6hten Aufwendungen und Investionen in den Bereichen PreisLeistungs-Verh\u00e4ltnis,\r\nNeukunden-Akquisition, Softwareentwicklungs-Kapazit\u00e4t sowie Logistikinfrastruktur aus. In einem weiterhin wettbewerbsintensiven Marktumfeld erwarten wir hierdurch klare positive Effekte f\u00fcr die mittelfristige Unternehmensentwicklung. F\u00fcr das vierte Quartal 2017 erwarten wir eine weitere Wachstumsbeschleunigung getragen sowohl von der Nachhaltigkeit unseres Stammkundengesch\u00e4fts als auch dem weiteren Ausbau des\r\nNeukundengesch\u00e4fts.\u201c\r\nF\u00fcr das Gesamtjahr 2017 best\u00e4tigt der Vorstand der zooplus AG die im September 2017\r\naktualisierte Prognose f\u00fcr das laufende Gesch\u00e4ftsjahr von rund 1,125 Milliarden EUR Umsatz\r\nund einem Ergebnis vor Steuern im einstelligen Millionenbereich.\r\nDer vollst\u00e4ndige Bericht \u00fcber die ersten neun Monate 2017 steht auf der Internetseite\r\nhttp:\/\/investors.zooplus.com zum Download zur Verf\u00fcgung.\r\n\r\nUnternehmensprofil:\r\nzooplus wurde 1999 gegr\u00fcndet und ist heute gemessen an Umsatzerl\u00f6sen Europas f\u00fchrender Interneth\u00e4ndler f\u00fcr Heimtierbedarf. Die Umsatzerl\u00f6se betrugen im Gesch\u00e4ftsjahr 2017 insgesamt 1.111 Mio. EUR \u2013 davon wurden rund 75% im internationalen Gesch\u00e4ft erzielt. Das Gesch\u00e4ftsmodell wurde bislang bereits in 30 L\u00e4ndern Europas erfolgreich eingef\u00fchrt. zooplus vertreibt Produkte f\u00fcr alle wichtigen Heimtiergattungen. Zum Produktangebot z\u00e4hlen insbesondere Tierfutter (Trocken- und Nassfutter und Futterbeigaben) sowie Zubeh\u00f6r wie Kratzb\u00e4ume, Hundek\u00f6rbe oder Spielzeug in allen Preiskategorien. Neben einer Auswahl von \u00fcber 8.000 Produkten profitieren zooplus-Kunden zudem von einer Vielzahl interaktiver Content- und Community-Angebote. Der Heimtierbedarfmarkt stellt ein wichtiges Marktsegment innerhalb der europ\u00e4ischen Handelslandschaft dar. Die Ums\u00e4tze mit Heimtierfutter und Zubeh\u00f6r innerhalb der Europ\u00e4ischen Union belaufen sich auf rund 26 Mrd. EUR.
