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 />

HORNBACH-<strong>Baumarkt</strong>-<strong>AG</strong> is a publicly listed stock corporation.<br />

The ordinary shares in the company (ISIN DE0006084403)<br />

are listed on the German Stock Exchange and are admitted to<br />

the subsection of the official market with additional admissions<br />

obligations (the “Prime Standard”). Of approximately<br />

31.8 million ordinary shares in the company, 76.4% are held<br />

by HORNBACH HOLDING <strong>AG</strong>, while 18.4% are owned by independent<br />

shareholders. The British retail group Kingfisher plc<br />

held a stake of around 5.2% at the balance sheet date.<br />

HORNBACH is also present in the debt market with a corporate<br />

bond. On February 15, 2013, the company successfully<br />

placed a seven-year bond with a volume of € 250 million and<br />

an interest coupon of 3.875% (ISIN: DE000A1R02E0). The<br />

issue proceeds were used to prematurely redeem the existing<br />

bond in place since November 2004 (interest coupon: 6.125 %)<br />

on February 25, 2013.<br />
