The increasing consumption of consumption in an uncertain economic environment is more careful for the current financial year.
According to Thursday evening, the consumption mood has deteriorated even further since mid -February – even then the company had become a little more careful for the result of interest, taxes and depreciation (EITDA) adjusted for special effects. Now the management was completely back in sales and profit destinations for the financial year, which was running until the end of September. The share price sagged in the post -market trade.
In sales, Douglas expects a slight increase to around 4.5 billion euros instead of 4.7 to 4.8 billion euros. Of these, 17 percent should get stuck as adjusted EBITDA, i.e. around 765 million euros. So far, the lower end of the range of 855 to 885 million euros has been on schedule. The bottom line is that a profit of around 175 million euros is said to get stuck instead of 225 to 265 million euros.
“The growing economic and political tensions in the world have now also reached the premium beauty market in Europe,” said Douglas boss Sander van der Laan. In the past few weeks, the frequency and demand from the customers have increasingly slowed down, of which Douglas business has also been affected. Germany and France and thus the two most important individual markets are particularly affected.
The medium -term goals are also up for debate in this environment. These would now be checked, including the further development of the degree of debt, the company said. There should then be news as part of the reporting on the second business quarter on May 15, 2025.
Douglas had returned to the stock exchange almost exactly a year ago – at an issue price of EUR 26.00 per share. The paper never saw courses about it. Most recently, a clearer slide had started in mid -February. Since then alone, the papers have lost around 30 percent of their value – until the Xetra closing on Thursday.
The Tradegate trading platform last went down to 13.61 euros for the course. In the Xetra main business, that would be another record low.
