DGAP-News: Weng Fine Art AG revises its sales forecast for the fiscal year 2014/15

DGAP-News: Weng Fine Art AG / Key word(s): Forecast/Miscellaneous Weng Fine Art AG revises its sales forecast for the fiscal year 2014/15 08.01.2015 / 09:00 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Press Release │ 8 January 2015 Weng Fine Art AG revises its sales forecast for the fiscal year 2014/15 Sales in the 2nd half will exceed 1st half of this year Start-up costs of e-commerce subsidiary are significantly lower than planned Capital increase in subsidiaries WFA Trading GmbH and WFA Online AG Weng Fine Art AG (WFA) is recording a development in business, which is more positive than the forecast of October 2014. In the 1st half of the fiscal year 2014/15 there was a significant decrease in sales and earnings as a result of a transformation process, that is expected to last until the end of 2015, and the downward trend was expected to continue throughout the remaining fiscal year. Now the company expects a double-digit percentage increase in sales in the second half compared to the first half of this year. The sales for the full year, however, will still be lower than in the previous year. The overall positive trend is in line with the increasing share of high-value transactions within the trading business. The group earnings for the current fiscal year cannot yet be predicted, as there still are additional factors to be taken into account. However, it is already clear that the trade margins have remained level over the year, and that the strength of the US dollar against the euro has a positive effect on the profits of WFA AG. Furthermore, the start-up costs of the new Swiss subsidiaries are running lower than previously estimated. While WFA Fine Art Services GmbH will already be profitable in its first year, the costs of the e-commerce activities of WFA Online AG resulted in less than 200,000 EUR, significantly lower than forecasted, which is explained by the faster development of the transaction platform than expected. This Friday the subsidiary WFA Trading GmbH, which takes over trading activities of WFA AG from 1 February, increases its share capital of 25,000 euros to 500,000 euros. All new shares will be acquired by the parent company. WFA Online AG, which operates all e-commerce activities in the WFA group, also increases its share capital this week from 100,000 CHF to 2,500,000 CHF. All new shares will be bought by Weng Fine Art AG.
