Hamburg, April 8, 2024 – The audit of the consolidated financial statements for 2023 of Bijou Brigitte modische Accessoires AG has identified an error in the income statement. This error occurred when transferring information from local financial statements into the IFRS consolidated financial statements. Correcting this error has resulted in the cost of materials increasing by EUR 2.4 million and Group earnings before taxes decreasing by EUR 2.4 million.
Consequently, the figure for Group earnings before taxes for the 2023 financial year has been corrected to EUR 36.0 million. The original figure reported on 19 March 2024 was EUR 38.4 million. Group earnings were therefore lower than the forecasted range of between EUR 38.0 million and EUR 54.0 million.
This correction had no impact on net profit after taxes, which remains at EUR 24.1 million.
The Management Board and Supervisory Board of Bijou Brigitte modische Accessoires AG remain committed to proposing a dividend of EUR 3.50
per no-par value share for the 2023 financial year to the Annual General Meeting on 27 June 2024.
The consolidated financial statements are still in the process of being audited. As a result, these figures will be subject to change until the annual financial statements have been finalised, the final audit has been completed and the annual financial statements have been approved by the Supervisory Board.
The consolidated and annual financial statements of Bijou Brigitte modische Accessoires AG for the 2023 financial year will be published in April 2024. The Annual General Meeting is planned for 27 June 2024 and will be held as a physical meeting.
