DGAP-Ad-hoc: Deutsche EuroShop AG / Key word(s): Dividend/Preliminary Results Preliminary financial year figures for 2019 as planned Based on the fact that the 2019 financial year went as planned, Deutsche EuroShop AG has sufficient liquidity to pay the dividends (previously proposed at €1.55 per share). However, the implications on the 2020 financial year of the continued spread and unpredictable duration of the corona virus pandemic cannot be quantified at this stage. As a precaution to further improve the company's liquidity, the Executive Board has therefore decided to propose the suspension of the dividend payment to the general assembly (scheduled for 16 June 2020). Based on the preliminary figures for 2019, turnover was at €225.9 million, EBIT at €197.5 million, operative result before tax (EBT not valued) at €163.1 million and FFO per share at €2.42. All figures are therefore within or above the predicted ranges. This notice contains complementary financial figures that are not precisely defined by the relevant accounting standards and that (may) represent alternative performance indicators. These complementary financial figures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to the figures presented in the consolidated financial statements and determined in accordance with the relevant accounting standards when evaluating the assets, financial position and results of operations of Deutsche EuroShop. Such alternative performance indicators may be calculated differently but labelled similarly by other companies.
