Fielmann in figures

Our expectations for the 2009 financial year have been met. 6.4 million pairs of glasses were sold (previous year: 6.1 million). External sales incl. VAT rose to € 1.11 billion (previous year: € 1.06 billion), and the consolidated sales increased to € 952.5 million (previous year: € 902.7 million). Pre-tax profits rose to € 162.5 million (previous year: € 161.8 million) and net income for the year went up to € 114.3 million (previous year: € 113.9 million). Earnings per share for full year 2009 increased to € 2.64 (previous year: € 2.63).

Fielmann is confident that it will be able to expand its market position. It is particularly during difficult economic times that consumers buy from companies which guarantee high quality at a reasonable price: and in optics, this means Fielmann.
