Ströer: Following highly successful fiscal year 2016, the annual general meeting agrees to a substantial dividend increase to EUR 1.10. - Seite 2

One particular cause for celebration was the outstanding development of adjusted profit, which rose by 46 per cent from EUR 107 million to EUR 156 million. This result underlines the profitable growth trajectory that the company has embarked upon.

The positive development in the operating business has also had a positive impact on the financial position. In spite of acquisitions and dividend payments, Ströer maintained a stable leverage ratio of 1.2, in line with the previous year's level.

"Ströer's development has been outstanding," says Udo Müller, founder and co-CEO of Ströer. "We are posting strong gains in terms of sales and profits, and we are off to an excellent start for fiscal year 2017. We will remain on this development path in the second quarter as well. We confirm our current forecast, which sets out operational EBITDA of more than EUR 320 million and Group sales of around EUR 1.3 billion for 2017."
