United Labels AG (ISIN: DE 0005489561), one of the leading European brand
manufacturers in the media/entertainment sector, generated consolidated
sales of EUR 5.8 million in the first three months of the 2024 financial
year (previous year: EUR 6.9 million). The decline in sales resulted from
the distribution of customer campaigns before and after the reporting date.
Despite these order postponements, a significantly higher gross profit
margin led to consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization (EBITDA) of EUR 0.5 million (previous year: EUR 0.5 million).
Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) also remained unchanged at EUR 0.4
million (previous year: EUR 0.4 million), while consolidated net profit for
the first quarter of 2024 was EUR 0.3 million (previous year: EUR 0.3
million), which corresponds to a return on sales of 4.5%.

However, the slight decline in sales in the first quarter does not allow any
conclusions to be drawn about the year as a whole. Despite the postponement
of orders, the company still expects sales and earnings to grow in 2024 as a
whole. In the previous financial year 2023, United Labels generated sales of
EUR 24.8 million and EBITDA of EUR 1.3 million.

Peter Boder, CEO of United Labels AG, is optimistic: "I am convinced that we
have a strong remaining financial year ahead of us. This is already becoming
apparent, particularly in e-commerce. I am therefore confident that we will
exceed the previous year's sales and earnings figures in 2024 as a whole."
