  • LUDWIG BECK Group completes the year 2015 with sales growth
    Munich, January 8, 2016 – The Munich fashion group LUDWIG BECK (ISIN DE 0005199905) was able to significantly increase sales at group level to € 158.6m (previous year: € 102.7m) in the past fiscal year.

  • LUDWIG BECK Group records significant sales growth after the first nine months of 2015
    Munich, October 20, 2015 – The Munich fashion group LUDWIG BECK (ISIN DE 0005199905) generated gross sales in the amount of € 100.9m in the first nine months of the 2015 fiscal year (previous year: € 69.2m).

  • LUDWIG BECK closes the first half-year of 2015 very satisfactorily/Integration of WORMLAND essentially completed
    Munich, July 21, 2015 – The Munich fashion group LUDWIG BECK (ISIN DE 0005199905) has closed the first half-year of 2015 very satisfactorily. The dominant event in the second quarter was the acquisition of 100% of the shares in WORMLAND, a men’s fashion retailer based in Hanover. This strategically significant step has already been reflected in the financial figures of the Group, whose comparability with those of the same period last year is thus strongly reduced. The integration of WORMLAND is therefore essentially completed. Since not all information required for the conclusive recognition of the business combination in the balance sheet is currently available, a preliminary purchase price allocation has been undertaken.
