ZINZINO AB (PUBL): YEAR-END REPORT 2021

STOCKHOLM, Feb. 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- 20% SALES GROWTH AND RECORD RESULTS 2021 - SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED DIVIDEND AT SEK 2 / SHARE PROPOSED

For the full year 2021 the total revenues amounted to SEK 1,370.6 (1,138.6) million, which corresponded to 20% growth compared with the previous year. EBITDA increased to SEK 137.6 (108.5) million and the EBITDA margin to 10.0% (9.5%). The margin improvement for the year was mainly the result of increased profitability at the gross level in combination with economies of scale because of improved efficiency in IT systems and in the organisation as a whole.

The good profitability over the past year in combination with Zinzino's strong financial position means that the Board is now proposing a dividend for 2021 to shareholders of as much as SEK 2.00 (1.25) per share.

The fourth quarter of 2021 was strong in terms of sales. The total revenue increased by 18% and amounted to SEK 401.2 (340.4) million. In order to stimulate the distributors' activity, which has been slowed down a bit by the pandemic, several important but at the same time cost-intensive campaigns were carried out, which had the effect that the EBITDA result landed at SEK 26.4 (37.4) million. The EBITDA margin amounted to 6.6% (11.0%), compared with the fourth quarter of 2020.

During the fourth quarter, Zinzino launched a new product concept for vitamin D through the introduction of the new products Vitamin D Test and ZinoShine+. In addition, on November 9, sales started in South Africa as Zinzino's first establishment on the African continent.
