Revenues. The first quarter confirms the successful turnaround and growth process. With consolidated group revenues of € 102.2 million, an increase of 10 % was achieved during the first three months of the current year (Q1 2020: € 93.0 million). Business in March grew by a clear double-digit rate. The company attributes this development in part to the fact that the demand for replacement tyres in the corresponding month of the previous year was affected by the first appearance of the Corona pandemic in Europe, the related government containment measures and a certain degree of shock rigidity among consumers. In addition, an early Easter effect cannot be ruled out at present. With regard to the further course of the season, there is only limited visibility at this point in time. Nevertheless, the management plans to continue the profitable growth path in the second quarter.

EBITDA. EBITDA for the first three months amounted to € 1.1 million, an increase of € 6.4 million compared to the same quarter of the previous year (Q1 2020: € -5.3 million). The significant improvement compared to the previous year results from the continued stringent cost management. At € -2.4 million, net income for the first three months is € 6 million higher than in Q1 2020 (€ -8.4 million). In March, the company achieved a positive monthly net income.

Outlook. The provided outlook for the full year 2021 in terms of revenues in a range of € 550-590 million and EBITDA of € 16-20 million remains unchanged.
