U10registered sales growth in the 2016 second quarter for the Europe Logistics division of 7%.

The Undergarments activity registered an excellent growth of 20.6%.

In Asia, the discontinuation of basic Trading sales represented a decline of 36.7% in the historic business, whileU10 HK has started to record its first orders.

Revenue

  • In Europe, all businesses delivered gains in the quarter. Sales for the Home division were up 4.8% in Q2 to €27.4m.

  • In line with our expectations, the discontinuation of the basic Trading contributed to lower sales that amounted to €14.1m. This division does not yet benefit from U10 HK's export sales.

  • For the first half, U10 had total sales of €99.4m.

    Outlook

  • The U10 HK offering has combined since January products of the HOMEAbrand and HomeEuropean collections and represents significant potential for export sales by direct containers from Asia to central buying offices and international importers.

  • As announced in Q1 U10 HKis currently in a very positive start up phase with deliveries recorded at the end of 2016 and on a full-year basis starting in 2017.

  • The Homebusiness model based entirely on organic growth is on track for sustained development.

  • Q2 sales confirm the outlook for an excellent performance in 2016 with growth in operating profitability starting in the first half.

U10 is a creator, supplier and provider of logistics services in the universe of decoration.
