Delticom publishes Q1 business development: Increase in revenues and
earnings

Hanover, May 13, 2024 - Delticom AG (German Securities Code (WKN) 514680,
ISIN DE 0005146807, stock market symbol DEX), Europe's leading online
retailer for tyres and complete wheels, publishes the key points of its
business trends in the first quarter 2024 with this interim announcement.

  * Gross merchandise volume (GMV) amounted to EUR 119 million (Q1 2023: EUR 96
    million)


  * Consolidated net income totalled EUR -1.4 million (Q1 2023: EUR -2.3
    million)


* Full-year forecast confirmed

Delticom AG continued to work successfully in its core business in the first
three months of the current fiscal year and improved its operating EBITDA
from EUR -520 thousand to EUR +820 thousand. Against the backdrop that the 2023
winter season was exceptionally successful, this is necessary in order to
meet the full-year forecast.

In the first three months of the current fiscal year, revenues of Delticom
group increased by 24 % from EUR 78 million to EUR 97 million. This is due to
good sales and pre-sales in business with both private and commercial end
customers in view of the summer temperatures in February and March.

At EUR -1.4 million, the increase in revenues led to a 39 % improvement in
consolidated net income compared to the previous year (EUR -2.3 million).
Delticom expects a higher tax rate in 2024 than in 2023, so that the
improved consolidated net income in the first quarter is necessary to fulfil
the full-year forecast.

The positive business development is the result of both the corresponding
weather-related effect and the measures already taken in 2023 to reduce
costs and increase profitability, which will now take full effect in 2024.

In terms of revenues and profitability, the first quarter is only of
comparatively minor importance in relation to the year as a whole, as it
typically represents the transition from the winter to the summer tyre
business. In addition, weather-related shift effects are not uncommon in the
tyre trade. The development for the year as a whole will therefore largely
depend on the winter tyre business in the fourth quarter of 2024. It should
be noted that the fourth quarter of 2023 was exceptionally strong due to the
weather and that this effect cannot be expected to be repeated.

Due to the acceptable start to 2024, Delticom AG confirms its forecast. The
company continues to expect revenues of between EUR 450 million and EUR 470
million in 2024. Operating EBITDA is still targeted between EUR 19 million and
EUR 21 million, depending on revenues.

The Semi-Annual Report will be made available for download on August 14,
2024 on the website www.delti.com in the "Investor Relations" section.
