Vranken Pommery Monopole reported sales results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2013. For the period, total turnover was EUR 43.6 million against EUR 52.7 million for the same period in the last year. The turnover was affected by two exceptional elements: the alteration in the perimeter of the Champagne business with the acquisition of Bissinger and an unfavourable base effect on Wines' activity. The company provided earnings guidance for the full year of 2013. In an economic context that is still disturbed, but backed up by the successful completion of commercial negotiations and the mobilisation of its teams, the group is maintaining its targets for 2013 as regards business activity in both rosé Wines and Champagne. Moreover, the three-year strategic plan presented at the 2012 release of results has entered into its application phase.

Vranken Pommery Monopole reported earnings results for the year 2012. For the period, the company's consolidated turnover was EUR 326.1 million against EUR 339.6 million a year ago. Current operating profit was EUR 34.1 million against EUR 37.3 million a year ago. Consolidated net profit was EUR 6.7 million against EUR 8.9 million a year ago. The fall in the consolidated turnover is marked by differing trends in the two main operating sectors of the group, Vranken-Pommery Champagnes on the one hand and Vins Rosés des Domaines Listel on the other. At the General Meeting of June 12, 2013, the company proposed a dividend of EUR 0.80 per share. This dividend will be paid out on July 15, 2013, and would correspond to a gross return of 3.93% on the basis of the most recent stock-market price.
