Als gevolg van een zwak derde kwartaal voor haar Duitse dhz-activiteiten verwacht de Hornbach-Gruppe een duidelijk lager resultaat voor 2015/2016.

De Raad van Bestuur verwacht dat de EBIT voor 2015/2016 niet langer grofweg het resultaat van 2014/2015 zal evenaren. “We voorzien eerder dat de EBIT maximaal 15% lager uit zal vallen dan de € 165,1 mln van vorig jaar. Aldus het interim-rapport dat Hornbach vandaag publiceerde.
