Hawesko Group achieves operating result at previous year’s level in the third quarter

EQS-News: Hawesko Holding SE / Key word(s): 9 Month figures/Quarterly / Interim Statement
Hawesko Group achieves operating result at previous year’s level in the third quarter
08.11.2023 / 08:00 CET/CEST
The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.

Hamburg, November 8, 2023: The wine trading group Hawesko Holding SE (HAW, HAWG.DE, DE0006042708) today published its quarterly statement as of September 30, 2023. With sales of € 143 million (previous year: € 148 million) and an adj. EBIT of € 5.3 million (previous year: € 5.3 million), consistent cost reductions in a difficult market environment are taking effect in the third quarter of 2023.

At the end of the third quarter, inflation had flattened out compared to the previous months, but consumer sentiment remained depressed and the German economy as a whole slipped into recession. The resulting reluctance to spend in online retail could not be offset by slight growth in the retail segment and a positive trend in the food service industry (B2B segment). In the third quarter of 2023, sales were therefore three percent down on the previous year. Sales for the period from January to September were on a par with the previous year.

As a result of the sales trend, the Management Board and management have continued to respond with consistent cost reductions in the areas of marketing, logistics and administration and – where possible – adjusted gross margins. As a result, the operating result remained constant in the third quarter despite the decline in sales and inflation. The operating result for the period from January to September amounted to € 18.6 million (previous year: € 20.6 million). As a result of the measures taken to reduce inventory levels, operating cash flow improved further in a 9-month comparison and is now 30% above the previous year’s level.

The slower turnaround of the Austrian subsidiary WEIN&CO due to the economic situation and the persistently high level of interest rates also necessitated an extraordinary goodwill impairment in the third quarter.

The Board of Management of the Hawesko Group expects market conditions to remain challenging for 2023 as a whole and recently adjusted its forecast. For the fourth quarter, sales and EBIT are now expected to be at the previous year’s level. Overall, the Board of Management anticipates a sales trend of up to minus three percent and an operating result of € 32 to € 35 million for 2023.

Hawesko Holding SE: Hawesko Group enters into strategic partnership in the Baltic States and expands international activities

Hawesko Holding SE: Hawesko Group enters into strategic partnership in the Baltic States and expands international activities
09.10.2023 / 08:00 CET/CEST
The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.

Hamburg, 9 October 2023. The wine trading group Hawesko Holding SE (HAW, HAWG.DE, DE0006042708) has entered into a strategic partnership with the Dunker Group and in this context is acquiring 50 percent of the shares in Dunker Group OÜ. The Hawesko Group is thus expanding its international activities and tapping into the Baltic market.

Dunker Group OÜ (“Dunker”), with its subsidiaries, is one of the leading distribution companies for wine in the Baltic States, with sales of just under EUR 80 million, and employs around 200 people. Until now, Dunker has been managed in partnership by the shareholders Andres Villomann and Arvo Kask (50 percent each). The latter is selling his shares to the Hawesko Group and leaving the management.

Following the acquisition of the Czech company Global Wines & Spirits last year, the partnership with Dunker is another important step for the Hawesko Group into the developing Eastern European wine market.

“Dunker offers us an ideal opportunity to enter the Baltic market thanks to its good market presence and relevant size. With a large number of wine brands already distributed jointly and a strong own-brand DNA, there are already numerous commonalities between Dunker and Hawesko with which we are starting the partnership. We are delighted to have an experienced partner in Mr. Andres Villomann at our side, and together we will be tackling the further development of the wine market in the Baltic States,” says Thorsten Hermelink, Chairman of the Board of Hawesko Holding SE.

Hawesko Holding SE: Hawesko Group with stable half-year result

English News

EQS-News: Hawesko Holding SE / Key word(s): Half Year Results/Half Year Report
Hawesko Holding SE: Hawesko Group with stable half-year result
04.08.2023 / 08:00 CET/CEST
The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.

Hamburg, 4 August 2023. The wine trading group Hawesko Holding SE (HAW, HAWG.DE, DE0006042708) today published its half-yearly financial report 2023, including the figures for the second quarter (1 April to 30 June). With revenues of € 314 million (previous year: € 312 million) and an adj. EBIT of € 13.2 million (previous year: € 15.3 million) for the half year, the business remains close to last year’s level and still well above the pre-Corona trend in a challenging environment.

The persistently poor consumer climate, due to the high core inflation rate in Germany, led to a change in the channel mix. In view of rising prices, customers are “moving down” in all food ranges and also staying in their usual price categories for wine. In the end customer segments, sales are shifting towards stationary retail and away from e-commerce due to the smaller shopping baskets. On the other hand, the B2B segment was able to benefit from noticeable catch-up effects in the gastronomy sector. Overall, however, the negative development compared to the previous year eased in the second quarter.

With stable gross margins in all segments compared with the previous year and consistent efficiency programs in the areas of marketing, logistics and administration, it was possible to achieve EBIT on a par with the strong Corona year 2020 despite inflation-related cost increases and maintain the adj. EBIT margin at 4.2 percent at the half-year (previous year: 4.9 percent).

The Board of Management of the Hawesko Group expects market conditions to remain challenging in 2023 as a whole. Revenue is therefore still expected to remain at the previous year’s level, with EBIT before restructuring of € 37 – 42 million due to the changed segment mix.

Hawesko Holding SE: Hawesko Group starts with good results from the pandemic

English News

Hawesko Holding SE: Hawesko Group starts with good results from the pandemic
20.04.2023 / 10:00 CET/CEST
The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.

PRESS RELEASE

Hawesko Group starts with good results from the pandemic

  • Turnover in 2022 just below the record turnover in 2021 and significantly better than before Corona
  • Inflation-related cost increases could be largely compensated for
  • Stable dividend of € 1.90 per share proposed

Hamburg, 20 April 2023: The Board of Management of the wine trading group Hawesko Holding SE (HAW, HAWG.DE, DE0006042708) presented stable results for the 2022 financial year and developments in the first quarter of 2023 at today’s annual press conference.

The Chairman of the Board of Management of the Hawesko Group, Thorsten Hermelink, commented: “Behind us lies a financial year that has deepened the great trust our customers place in us as a competent wine merchant, but one that also held extraordinary challenges in store. As expected, the Hawesko Group was able to confirm a high level of sales in 2022 after the pandemic years and once again inspired many people who love wine. We responded resolutely to the market changes and sharply increased costs for energy, glass, paper, cardboard and transport, adjusted our offerings and optimised our procurement. Price adjustments were also part of the necessary measures, so that the cost increases could be passed on to the market to a large extent.”

In the 2022 financial year, Group revenue of € 671.5 million was slightly (1.3 percent) below the previous year’s level (€ 680.5 million), but a strong 35 percent above the pre-pandemic level of 2019. In 2022, the absence of the corona-induced special boom led to an expected normalisation in e-commerce and growth in restaurant sales. Around € 6 million out of a total of nearly € 30 million in inflation-related cost increases could not yet be passed on in 2022, reducing profitability compared to the record previous year. Group EBIT in 2022 was € 39.1 million (previous year: € 53.1 million) and the EBIT margin was 5.8 percent (previous year: 7.8 percent). 

Consolidated net income after taxes and non-controlling interests amounted to € 25.6 million (previous year: € 33.6 million). This corresponds to € 2.85 per share (previous year: € 3.74). The equity ratio rose to 31 per cent (previous year: 30 percent).

For 2023, the Executive Board expects a persistently pessimistic consumer climate and continued high inflation. The recovery in the gastronomy and hotel industry will continue as people continue to feel a pent-up demand in 2023. At the same time, there will be at least a temporary reluctance to buy on the part of customers or an orientation towards lower bottle prices in the e-commerce segment. The retail segment, on the other hand, will be able to record a constant customer frequency and slightly increasing revenues due to its lower shopping baskets as a friendly local supplier. Overall, the Executive Board expects a revenue development of +2 to -3 per cent for 2023 compared to the previous year and an operating EBIT of € 37 to € 42 million.

The first quarter of 2023 has so far confirmed the expectations for the full year 2023. According to provisional results, the Hawesko Group’s sales of around € 153 million are slightly (2.3 percent) above the previous year’s level (€ 149.5 million). The B2B and retail segments grew slightly and more than compensated for the e-commerce segment, which is still lagging behind. At around € 5.5 million, operating EBIT will still fall short of the previous year’s figure (€ 7.3 million), although profitability is expected to catch up in the course of the year.

In good core health, the Hawesko Group is well equipped to meet the current challenges. It is planned to propose an unchanged dividend of € 1.90 per share for the 2022 financial year to the Annual General Meeting.

PRESS RELEASE

 

Hawesko Holding: Hawesko Group confirms revenue and earnings expectations for 2022

  Forecast
financial year 2022
Preliminary
business figures
 
Group turnover
(in € million)
640 – 674 ≈671
Operating result
(in € million)
38 – 47 ≈39

 

Hamburg, 03 February 2023. On the basis of provisional and unaudited figures, the wine trading group Hawesko Holding SE (HAW, HAWG.DE, DE0006042708) achieved consolidated sales of around € 671 million and an operating result of around € 39 million in the 2022 financial year.

In the first year after the strong sales growth during the pandemic lockdown, the Hawesko Group’s sales were, as expected, just below the previous year’s level, but well above the sales level before the pandemic. While the e-commerce and retail segments saw their sales decline by -10 and -4 percent respectively due to lower consumption at home, the B2B segment posted +7 percent organic growth thanks to the resurgent catering trade. Overall, i.e. including acquisitions, the B2B segment grew by +16 percent.

The Hawesko Group expects an operating result of around € 39 million in 2022. The profit margin achieved is within the forecast range at just under 6 percent.

The operating result in 2022 is burdened with around € 6 million in exceptional costs due to inflation. The costs for glass, transport, energy as well as paper and cardboard increased massively in the financial year and could not yet be fully compensated for in the gross profit.

“2022 was not an easy year for us with inflation and the energy crisis,” comments Hawesko Chairman of the Board of Management Thorsten Hermelink “However, the Hawesko Group was able to hold its own in the market with its diversified business model after two boom years, even in the crisis. We expect inflation to remain high in 2023, which is why we took measures at an early stage to consistently strengthen our profitability.”

Hawesko Holding SE: Change of management at Wein & Vinos

Hamburg, 05 January 2023. After six years at the helm of Wein & Vinos GmbH (Vinos), managing director Christopher Maaß is leaving the company by best mutual agreement on 30 June 2023.

During this time, Maaß has significantly advanced the development of the specialist retailer for Spanish wine into one of the leading e-commerce and multichannel companies. In a dynamic market, he has thus laid the foundation for the continuation of Vinos’ profitable growth course.

“We would like to express our sincere thanks to Christopher Maaß for his excellent leadership over the past years, during which he has shaped a competent and capable team with which we will now shape the future of Wein & Vinos,” says Alexander Borwitzky, member of the Board of Management of Hawesko Holding SE. “We wish Mr Maaß all the very best for his professional and private future.”

A decision on a successor for Christopher Maaß will be made in the next few months. Until then, Wein & Vinos will be represented by Moritz Kottenhagen, commercial director, and the authorised signatories Alexander Wendt (purchasing) and Matthias Rinklak (logistics).
