Dividend: + 26 percent to EUR 1.20 per share

Fielmann improved its pre-tax profit by 21 percent to a provisional
figure of EUR 105 million, with the operating income for the year up
23 percent to around EUR 71 million. The number of unit sales of
glasses rose to 5.8 million (previous year: 5.7 million). External
sales including VAT increased to EUR 913 million (previous year: EUR
843 million), with consolidated sales rising to EUR 793 million
(previous year: EUR 733 million).
In the light of this pleasing business development, the Supervisory
and Management Boards proposed a resolution at the Annual
Shareholders’ Meeting on 12th July 2007 to pay a dividend of EUR 1.20
per share (+26 percent).
Fielmann is continuing to pursue its policy of rapid expansion and
today has 571 branches (previous year: 538), 500 of which are in
Germany.  In Switzerland, Fielmann is the market leader with 27
branches (previous year 25). In Austria, Fielmann opened four new
branches in 2006 and thus runs 24 shops, increased the number of
units sold and the sales volume by 20 percent and the result by 50
percent.
Fielmann is the largest employer and offers more training places than
anyone else in the optical industry. At the year-end, the company
employed 11,160 members of staff (of whom 1,715 were trainees) and in
the year under review, 690 new jobs were created.
For 2007, Fielmann is planning to increase the number of units sold,
the sales volume and the profits. The first weeks of the current year
confirm the positive expectations. For the year as a whole, Fielmann
has a further 35 new branches in the pipeline, of which two are
planned to open in Luxembourg. The company will also be creating more
than 400 new jobs.
