Cologne, June 17, 2019 - Vapiano SE (ISIN: DE000A0WMNK9) announces its forecast for the business and earnings development of the Vapiano Group in the fiscal year 2019. For the Group, the Executive Board expects net sales between EUR 390 and 420 million and an adjusted EBTIDA in a range of EUR 20 to 25 million (excluding IFRS 16) and EUR 60 to 67 million (including IFRS 16) for the current year.
