SHOP APOTHEKE EUROPE N.V. / Key word(s): Change in Forecast SHOP APOTHEKE EUROPE: change of forecast for the 2021 financial year Sevenum, 22 July 2021. In the context of preparing the interim financial report for the first half of 2021, the Management Board of SHOP APOTHEKE EUROPE has analysed the company's financial development and as a result has come to a new assessment of the forecast for the 2021 financial year. Taking into account constraints in order processing capacity in connection with a tight labour market that became apparent in the course of Q2, the Management Board now expects full-year sales growth of 10 to 15 percent (previously: around 20 percent) and an adjusted EBITDA margin around break-even (previously: 2.3 to 2.8 percent). The expected Capex volume has been narrowed to around EUR 45 million (previously: 3.5 percent of sales). According to the company, the current logistics constraints are temporary and an isolated issue without impacting any of the future growth opportunities. rikutis consulting Thomas Schnorrenberg Cel: +49 151 46 53 13 17 E-Mail: presse@shop-apotheke.com Information and Explanation of the Issuer to this News: CEO Stefan Feltens: 'The constrained logistics capacity at this moment, is of a temporary nature and expected to be resolved over the coming months.
