QuickView: On the front foot

Ahead of Q3 results on 11 November, Leifheit’s focus on brands and margins continues to deliver, with a double-digit rise in H115 underlying EBIT and the prospect of more of the same for the rest of the year (reported 2014 was particularly flattered by currency). In addition, there should be increasing benefit from a newly-refined strategy, notably a 'full category' product and price approach to complement longstanding commitment to innovation, increased e-commerce, brand presence at the point of sale, targeted expansion and cost control. Strong finances (€59m net cash at June) should facilitate this and a generous dividend payout.
