INTERIM REPORT FOR THE PERIOD 1 JANUARY 2010 TO 30 JUNE 2010.
HIGHLIGHTS H1 2010
* Revenue increased by 104.5% to DKK 2,581 million (H1 2009 DKK 1,262
million).
* Gross profit increased by 98.0% to DKK 1,806 million (H1 2009 DKK 912
million).
* Gross margin was 70.0% - negatively impacted by a DKK 50 million one-off
charge related to the acquisition of our former independent German
distributor.
* EBITDA increased by 56.0% to DKK 1,020 million (H1 2009 DKK 654 million)
resulting in an EBITDA margin of 39.5%.
* EBIT increased by 41.1% to DKK 892 million (H1 2009 DKK 632 million).
* EBIT margin was 34.6% - negatively impacted primarily by a DKK 91 million
accounting effect due to amortisation of acquired distribution rights.
* Net profit increased by 50.1% to DKK 671 million (H1 2009 DKK 447 million).
* PANDORA generated a free cash flow of DKK 441 million and invested a total
of DKK 82 million in property plant and equipment.
* At the end of June 2010, PANDORA employed 4,525 people worldwide and sold
its jewellery and other branded products through 9,922 points of sale in
more than 45 countries on six continents.
Mikkel Vendelin Olesen, CEO, said: "The performance in the first half of 2010
has been strong for PANDORA, and revenue and profits continue to show growth
within all our product categories. Revenue from our charms and silver and gold
charm bracelets represents 86.2% of total revenue and continued to grow rapidly,
but I am particularly satisfied with the fact that our other jewellery offerings
have grown more than 220.6% and now represent 13.3% of total group revenue."
