Source text - English VVVV was able to close out 2007 satisfactorily with a good second half of the year. However, a profit collapse in the first semester had earlier caused unrest among shareholders and board members. The target of a 3% operating margin was no longer realistic and had to be revised. Ultimately an EBIT margin of 2% was achieved. Earlier estimates had even referred to 4% as a guideline. The new management expect growth in turnover of between 3 and 5% in the next three years, which is ambitious in the retail trade. After the sell-offs have been concluded, the Retail division will contribute around 60% of the Group’s earnings. The aim as far as EBIT is concerned is annual growth of 10 to 15%. Profitability in the retail area is ripe for improvement. These figures should provide turnover of SFr. 3.1 to 3.25 billion and an operating profit of SFr. 75 to 80 million in 2010. In 2008 the sell-offs contributed SFr. 10 to 20 million accounting profit. The share buyback will increase earnings per share by 15%.
Translation - Italian VVVV è riuscita a chiudere il 2007 in modo soddisfacente, con una buona seconda metà dell’anno. In precedenza, tuttavia, una caduta dei profitti nel primo semestre aveva creato una certa agitazione tra azionisti e membri del CdA. L'obiettivo di margine operativo al 3% non era più realistico e andava rivisto. Alla fine si è ottenuto un margine EBIT del 2%. Le stime precedenti indicavano un valore guida pari al 4%. Il nuovo management conta su una crescita del fatturato tra il 3% e il 5% nell’arco dei prossimi tre anni, un obiettivo ambizioso per il settore retail. Una volta completate le cessioni, la divisione retail dovrebbe contribuire agli utili del gruppo per circa il 60%. Per quanto riguarda l’EBIT, l’obiettivo è una crescita annuale tra il 10% e il 15%. C’è molto spazio di manovra per migliorare la redditività nel campo del retail. Queste cifre dovrebbero portare nel 2010 ad un fatturato tra i 3,1 e i 3,25 miliardi di franchi svizzeri ed un profitto operativo tra i 75 e gli 80 milioni. Nel 2008 le vendite di titoli sul mercato in ribasso hanno contribuito al profitto contabile nella misura di 10-20 milioni di franchi svizzeri. Il riacquisto delle azioni incrementerà gli utili per azione del 15% .
