In Q1 2015, mutares increased its consolidated revenues by 4.4% to EUR 169.9m (Q1 2014: EUR 162.7m). Primary drivers were the consolidation of A+F and a very successful quarter of EUPEC.

The management foresees 2015 to be another record year. It will be an important milestone on the way to reach the revenue target of EUR 1.8bn by 2018. The strengthening of the M&A activities in France by opening the Paris office, the successful exit of CGVL, and the acquisition of Metsä Board Zanders underline the ambitious objectives of mutares in 2015. For the record year 2014, the management will propose to the AGM on May 22, 2015, to approve the payment of a dividend of EUR 4.70 per share.
