Delticom AG’s management intended to be personally available to answer shareholders’ questions during the attendance event, and hoped that there would be some relaxation in good time to allow the Annual General Meeting to be held in person.In view of the continued spread of the corona virus and the measures extended by the State Government of Lower Saxony in this regard, Delticom AG now sees itself, in order to protect the health of its shareholders, employees and all service providers participating in the Annual General Meeting, in the commitment to use the simplification options provided by legislator in the course of the pandemic. As a result, the management has now decided to hold an online Annual General Meeting accordingly.Delticom AG will set a new date for the Annual General Meeting as soon as possible, and will convene it accordingly within the specified period.Current business developmentAs expected, consolidated revenues in the first quarter were down on the previous year. In addition to persistently cold temperatures, the shutdown decisions of various European countries aimed to get a grip on the corona pandemic also had an impact in the first quarter. In Southern European countries in particular, the lives of private consumers were considerably restricted in order to reduce the high infection rates and the speed at which the disease spreads.With the warmer temperatures in April, the refitting business in the classic changeover countries has clearly gained momentum. The workshops in Germany are open so that professional tyre changes can be carried out easily. Revenues development in the month of April has so far been on target, primarily due to the good demand in business with private end customers. In the current situation, customers of ReifenDirekt make use of the advantages of contactless online tyre purchasing. The individual countries in Europe in which the company is operating show different pandemic status. While countries such as Austria and Germany have entered a phase of gradual easing of restrictions, countries such as France, Italy and Spain have again extended the shutdown period. At present, Delticom AG’s management is confident that at least part of the first quarter’s downturn in revenues can be made up over the coming weeks with further easing of measures in Europe, as a catch-up effect can also be expected in business with commercial end customers.On May 14, 2020, the company will publish the key points of the business development in the first quarter.
