EUR 220 million - Year-on-year sales growth of approx. 27% Frankfurt / Oder, 08 July 2013 - The online retailer getgoods.de AG successfully maintained its sales growth in the 1st half of 2013. Overall, getgoods.de AG boosted its consolidated sales for the first six months of the financial year by 27% to around EUR 220 million (H1/2012: EUR 173.4m). On this basis, the Management Board confirms its forecast of sales growth to between EUR 480 million and EUR 500 million and an EBIT margin of around 2.5% for the fiscal year 2013. In the second quarter, getgoods.de AG made further successful progress with implementing the strategy already taken in 2012.

Increased customer demand and the products newly launched in the second quarter fully compensated for the lag in sales in the first quarter. Comments Markus Rockstädt-Mies, CEO of getgoods.de AG, with regard to these positive developments: 'In the second quarter we proved that we are on the right course and we will consistently maintain this course in the second half of the year as well. It is especially great that we are further performing on a profitable basis compared to various other players in this industry. I am absolutely convinced that, with my two new colleagues on the Management Board, we are optimally placed for the long term as well and I look forward to working with them to promote the company's success.'
