in our consolidated income, which amounted to EUR 1.5 million, a 7.6%
increase over the same period last year. The increase in new customers
through the online business is particularly pleasing and shows us that we
have taken the right route with our growth strategy."

For the second half of 2015, the Executive Board of elumeo SE expects sales
growth to remain at the same level as in the first half of the year. The
company also expects slightly higher gross margins compared to the
reporting period 2014. The reason for this is firstly the conversion of
gemstone purchases from commission to direct purchase. In addition, elumeo
SE will be using the proceeds from its successful IPO to expand its product
line as planned. Furthermore, the net proceeds of around EUR 32.1 million
are to be invested in strengthening its price leadership and digital and
international expansion.

The complete report on the first half of 2015 is available for downloading
