Delticom reports 2011 revenues up by 14 percent
ERJ staff report (DS)
Hanover, Germany - Delticom AG Europe's leading online tyre dealer, said revenues grew strongly in the 12 months to December 2011. However, margins and volumes declined following a very strong Q4 in 2010.
During the year, said Delticom, selling prices increased, the mix was stable and volumes were fairly satisfactory. Delticom generated revenues of € 480.0 million, up by 14.4 percent from prior-year's € 419.6 million. However, it noted that the cost of sales was up by 16.3 percent, from € 300.1 million in 2010 to € 349.1 million.
Revenues in the E-Commerce division were up year-on-year by 12.9 percent, from € 403.7 million to € 455.6 million. The revenues of the Wholesale division lifted by 53.4 percent to € 24.4 million, after prior-year revenues of € 15.9 million.
The company said a general expectation is that austerity measures and rising unemployment is going to depress consumer sentiment further. Industry experts believe that the European tyre trade will not remain unaffected.
