Total sales, consisting of sales and other income, was 30% higher reaching a level of EUR 742.7 million (previous year: EUR 570.9 million). Sales grew 31% and totaled EUR 711.3 million (previous year: EUR 543.1 million) while other income amounted to EUR 31.3 million (previous year: EUR 27.8 million).<\/p>\n<p>Accompanied by a year-on-year increase in total sales of EUR 172 million, zooplus continued to reinforce its leadership in the online sales of pet supplies in Europe generating double-digit growth at all of its 30 markets. The number of active customers has now reached 4 million. The positive development was driven mainly by the increase in the sales retention rate, which reached a record level of 94% in 2015.<\/p>\n<p>The company\u2019s rapid growth was reflected in earnings through better cost efficiency: The ratio of total cost (marketing, logistics, personnel, administrative including depreciation\/amortization and interest) to total sales is now 28.5% (previous year: 29.6%) as a result of both efficiency gains and improved economies of scale. This development more than compensated for the decline in the gross margin. Earnings before taxes grew 45% to EUR 12.7 million (equivalent to 1.7% of total sales) and slightly above the guidance range of EUR 8 &#8211; 12 million. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation\/amortization of tangible and intangible assets (EBITDA) increased by 56% in 2015 to a level of EUR 15.4 million (equivalent to 2.1% of total sales). <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The company\u2019s performance in 2015 has reconfirmed that zooplus can continue successfully its strategy of generating profitable growth. We see our current cost ratio of 28.5% of total sales as clear indicator of cost leadership in our sector and will continue to increase the level of efficiency. Thus we are well prepared for this competitive market and plan to achieve further growth and operating leverage. Our substantial positive free cash flow shows that we can finance our rapid growth entirely from internal resources&#8221;, commented Dr. Cornelius Patt, Chief Executive Officer of zooplus AG. <\/p>\n<p>In 2015, for example, the company generated positive free cash flow of EUR 13.6 million (previous year: EUR -1.9 million). A decisive factor influencing the year-on-year rise in cash flow was the substantially higher EBT and improvements in working capital. zooplus is also solidly financed. As of December 31, 2015, the equity of zooplus AG totaled EUR 93.2 million (previous year: EUR 86.2 million), which is equivalent to an equity ratio of 56.4% (previous year: 62.2%).<\/p>\n<p>zooplus expects to continue its profitable growth path in 2016. The financial targets include a rise in sales to a minimum of EUR 875 million, which would indicate a level of previously reported total sales of at least EUR 900 million. Earnings before taxes (EBT) is expected to be in the range of EUR 14 &#8211; 18 million.<\/p>\n<p>The 2015 Annual Report will be made available for download today on the Company\u2019s website at http:\/\/investors.zooplus.com.<\/p>\n<p>Company profile:<br \/>\nzooplus was founded in 1999 and today is Europe\u2019s leading online retailer of pet supplies measured by sales and total sales.

M\u00e4rz 2016 <\/strong> \u2013 Die zooplus AG (WKN 511170, ISIN DE0005111702, B\u00f6rsenk\u00fcrzel ZO1), Europas f\u00fchrender Internet-H\u00e4ndler f\u00fcr Heimtierprodukte, hat seinen profitablen Wachstumskurs im Gesch\u00e4ftsjahr 2015 erfolgreich fortgesetzt.  Die Gesamtleistung, bestehend aus Ums\u00e4tzen und sonstigen Ertr\u00e4gen, erh\u00f6hte sich um 30% auf 742,7 Mio. EUR (Vorjahr: 570,9 Mio. EUR). Die Ums\u00e4tze beliefen sich bei einem Wachstum von 31% auf 711,3 Mio. EUR (Vorjahr: 543,1 Mio. EUR) und die sonstigen Ertr\u00e4ge betrugen 31,3 Mio. EUR (Vorjahr: 27,8 Mio. EUR). \r\nMit einem Anstieg der Gesamtleistung um 172 Mio. EUR gegen\u00fcber dem Vorjahr konnte zooplus seine marktf\u00fchrende Stellung im Onlinevertrieb f\u00fcr Heimtierbedarf in Europa weiter ausbauen - mit zweistelligen Wachstumsraten in allen 30 L\u00e4nderm\u00e4rkten. Die Anzahl der aktiven Kunden stieg auf nun 4 Mio. Kunden. Haupttreiber dieser positiven Entwicklung ist die umsatzbezogene Wiederkaufsrate, die im Jahr 2015 einen Rekordwert von 94% erreichte.\r\nAuf der Ergebnisseite machte sich das starke Wachstum in einer weiter verbesserten Kosteneffizienz bemerkbar. So konnten die Gesamtkosten f\u00fcr Marketing, Logistik, Personal und Verwaltung sowie Abschreibungen und Zinsen bezogen auf die Gesamtleistung aufgrund von Effizienzgewinnen und Skaleneffekten auf 28,5% (Vorjahr: 29,6%) reduziert werden. Hierdurch konnte der R\u00fcckgang der Rohertragsmarge mehr als kompensiert werden. Das Ergebnis vor Steuern wuchs um 45% auf 12,7 Mio. EUR (entsprechend 1,7% bezogen auf die Gesamtleistung) und liegt damit leicht \u00fcber der prognostizierten Bandbreite von 8 bis 12 Mio. EUR. Das Ergebnis vor Zinsen, Steuern, Abschreibungen auf Sachanlagen und immaterielle Verm\u00f6gensgegenst\u00e4nde (EBITDA) erh\u00f6hte sich 2015 um 56% auf 15,4 Mio. EUR (entsprechend 2,1% bezogen auf die Gesamtleistung).\r\n \u201eDas Jahr 2015 hat erneut gezeigt, dass die auf profitables Wachstum ausgerichtete Strategie von zooplus weiter erfolgreich umgesetzt werden kann. Mit einer Kostenquote von nun 28,5% bezogen auf die Gesamtleistung gehen wir davon aus, dass wir unsere Kostenf\u00fchrerschaft in unserer Branche weiter ausgebaut haben und damit beste Voraussetzungen f\u00fcr weiteres Wachstum in einem wettbewerbsintensiven Marktumfeld sowie f\u00fcr weitere Verbesserungen der Kostenstruktur bestehen. Der deutlich positive Free Cash Flow zeigt zudem, dass wir unser starkes Wachstum vollst\u00e4ndig intern finanzieren\u201c, kommentiert Dr. Cornelius Patt, Vorstandsvorsitzender der zooplus AG. \r\nSo konnte im Jahr 2015 ein positiver Free Cash Flow in H\u00f6he von 13,6 Mio. EUR erzielt werden (Vorjahr: -1,9 Mio. EUR). Entscheidende Einflussfaktoren waren das im Vergleich zum Vorjahr deutlich h\u00f6here EBT sowie Verbesserungen im Bereich Working Capital. Dar\u00fcber hinaus ist zooplus weiterhin sehr solide finanziert. Zum Stichtag 31. Dezember 2015 belief sich das Eigenkapital der zooplus AG auf 93,2 Mio. EUR (Vorjahr: 86,2 Mio. EUR), entsprechend einer Eigenkapitalquote von 56,4% (Vorjahr: 62,2%). F\u00fcr das Jahr 2016 geht zooplus von einer weiterhin positiven Gesch\u00e4ftsentwicklung aus. Die finanziellen Ziele sehen einen Anstieg der Ums\u00e4tze auf mindestens 875 Mio. EUR vor. Dies entspricht einer bisher berichteten Gesamtleistung von mindestens 900 Mio. EUR. F\u00fcr das Ergebnis vor Steuern (EBT) wird ein Bereich von 14 bis 18 Mio. EUR prognostiziert.\r\nDen Gesch\u00e4ftsbericht 2015 stellt zooplus im Tagesverlauf auf der Internetseite http:\/\/investors.zooplus.com zum Download zur Verf\u00fcgung. <br> \r\n\r\nUnternehmensprofil:<br>\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.
