United Labels Reports on First Quarter and Expects Further Growth in Revenue and Earnings for Full-Year 2025

Münster, 30 May 2025 – United Labels AG (ISIN: DE 0005489561), one of Europe’s leading brand manufacturers in the media and entertainment sector, generated consolidated revenues of € 4.2 million (prior year: € 5.8 million) in the first three months of the 2025 financial year. The decline in revenue resulted from the timing of customer promotions before and after the reporting date. Despite these shifts in order volume, a significantly higher gross profit margin led to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) of € 0.4 million (prior year: € 0.5 million). Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) amounted to € 0.3 million (prior year: € 0.4 million), while consolidated net income for the first quarter of 2025 totalled € 0.2 million (prior year: € 0.3 million), corresponding to a return on sales of 4.5%.

The slight decline in first-quarter revenue does not allow conclusions to be drawn about the full year. Despite the shift in orders, the company continues to expect growth in both revenue and earnings for full-year 2025. As at 31 March 2025, the order backlog increased to € 12.7 million compared to € 11.6 million in the previous year. In the prior 2024 financial year, United Labels recorded revenue of € 22.4 million and EBITDA of € 1.4 million.
Particularly pleasing was the continued positive development of the company’s online business, which recorded a 44% increase in revenue during this period.

Peter Boder, CEO of United Labels AG, is optimistic: “I am convinced that we have a strong remainder of the financial year ahead of us. This is already becoming evident, particularly in e-commerce. I am therefore confident that we will surpass the prior year’s revenue and earnings in full-year 2025.”
