COMPANY PROFILE 7<br />
Germany. The net sales of the HORNBACH-<strong>Baumarkt</strong>-<strong>AG</strong> <strong>Group</strong><br />
grew by 0.6% to € 3,020 million in the 2012/2013 financial<br />
year. At the balance sheet date on February 28, 2013, the<br />
<strong>Group</strong> operated 138 DIY megastores with garden centers in<br />
nine countries across Europe (92 of which in Germany) with<br />
total sales areas of around 1.6 million square meters.<br />
Following the company’s successful entry into the Austrian<br />
market in August 1996, it has consistently pressed ahead<br />
with its expansion into neighboring European countries. Stores<br />
were subsequently opened in the Netherlands, Luxembourg<br />
and the Czech Republic. The company’s international growth<br />
continued with its expansion to Switzerland, Sweden and<br />
Slovakia. The entry into the Romanian market followed in the<br />
summer of 2007. As of February 28, 2013, HORNBACH was<br />
operating a total of 46 DIY megastores with garden centers in<br />
eight countries outside Germany. The international share of<br />
consolidated sales amounted to 42.4% in the 2012/2013<br />
financial year and is set to rise further in future. The <strong>Group</strong><br />
will nevertheless also continue to pursue opportunities for<br />
expansion in Germany. Since December 1, 2010, the stationary<br />
retail business has been supplemented by HORNBACH’s online<br />
shop, with which the <strong>Group</strong> aims to make targeted use of the<br />
opportunities presented by multichannel retailing.<br />
