Munich, March 6, 2017 - AURELIUS Equity Opportunities SE & Co. KGaA (ISIN DE000A0JK2A8) generated total consolidated revenues of EUR 2,892.3 million based on the initial provisional annual figures in fiscal 2016, which corresponds to an increase of 44 percent compared to the prior year (2015: EUR 2,013.3 million).

Satisfactory operating performance despite the sale of profitable Group entities

Overall, AURELIUS Equity Opportunities achieved EBITDA for the combined group of EUR from 148.4 million (2015: EUR 266.1 million). The decrease can be largely attributed to the lower income from the reversal of negative goodwill from capital consolidation ("bargain purchase") compared to the prior year. Operating EBITDA reached EUR 114.0 million (2015: EUR 123.2 million) despite the acquisition of yet unprofitable and the sale of profitable Group entities and reflects the good operating performance of the Group entities.
