ABOUT YOU

In the most recently closed financial year, the Otto Group nearly doubled its earnings before interest and taxes from €276 million to €641 million; after taxes, €312 million remained. Revenue fell by about 7.4 percent to €13.8 billion, mainly due to the sale of the subsidiary About You to Zalando and weaker performance of the Bonprix brand. CEO Petra Scharner-Wolff attributes the result to growth of the otto.de platform, the profitable finance business Eos, and cost savings. » Mere på finanzen.net
