United Labels improves earnings through e-commerce Group sales amounted to €  22.5 million (previous year: € 24.8 million) EBIT increases by 20% to € 1.2 million (previous year: € 1.0 million) Specialist retail/e-commerce segment ensures significant increase in gross profit margin Münster, 16.04.2025. According to the preliminary figures available today, United Labels AG (ISIN: DE 0005489561, WKN: 548956) generated consolidated sales of €  22.5 million in the past financial year 2024. The reason for the 9.3% decline in sales was lower revenue in the key account segment, which fell by 19%. In contrast, revenue in the specialist retail/e-commerce segment increased significantly by 47%. Sales in the e-commerce business included in this segment even rose by 91%, which means that this area continues to have the greatest growth potential for the company, as expected. The sales trend reflects the company's strategy of accelerating its focus on specialist retail/e-commerce. The gross profit margin increased by 9.8 percentage points to 37.1% (previous year: 27.3%) due to the sharp rise in the higher-margin specialist retail/e-commerce business. Overall, consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) rose to €  1.5 million (previous year: € 1.3 million), while EBIT increased by 20% to € 1.2 million (previous year: € 1.0 million). All of the Group's operating companies closed the 2024 financial year with a positive net profit.  For the current financial year 2025, the company plans to expand its key account business and brand ranges, as well as its own e-commerce business in particular. The Management Board is therefore forecasting sales growth and a further increase in the operating result for the current financial year 2025.
