This document includes supplemental financial measures that are or may be non-GAAP financial measures. These supplemental financial measures should not be viewed in isolation as alternatives to measures of zooplus’ financial condition, results of operations or cash flows as presented in accordance with IFRS in its Consolidated Financial Statements. Other companies that report or describe similarly titled financial measures may calculate them differently.
This document contains statements related to our future business and financial performance and future events or developments involving zooplus that may constitute forward-looking statements. We may also make forward-looking statements in other reports, in presentations, in material delivered to stockholders and in press releases. In addition, our representatives may from time to time make oral forward-looking statements. Such statements are based on the current expectations and certain assumptions of zooplus’ management, and are, therefore, subject to certain risks and uncertainties. A variety of factors, many of which are beyond zooplus’ control, affect zooplus’ operations, performance, business strategy and results and could cause the actual results, performance or achievements of zooplus to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements that may be expressed orimplied by such forward-looking statements or anticipated on the basis of historical trends. Further information about risks anduncertainties affecting zooplus is included throughout our most recent annual and interim reports, which are available on thezooplus website, www.zooplus.de. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results, performance or achievements of zooplus may vary materially from those described in the relevantforward-looking statement as being expected, anticipated, intended, planned, believed, sought, estimated or projected. zooplus neither intends, nor assumes any obligation, to update or revise these forward-looking statements in light of developments whichdiffer from those anticipated.
Due to rounding, numbers presented throughout this and other documents may not add up precisely to the totals provided and percentages may not precisely reflect the absolute figures.
