FACTS AND FIGURES€ 3.71 bn turnover in 2015/16 business year
Dynamic growth in USA, Australia, Asia – and Germany
Change at board level

Miele increases turnover by 6.4%
The Miele family company has once again
seen significant increases in both turnover andstaffing levels: The world’s leading manufacturerof premium domestic appliances achieved aturnover of € 3.71 bn in the 2015 /16 financial
year ending June 30, 2016. This is € 224 m or
6.4% more than during the previous year. For
the first time, Miele employs a staff of more than
18,000. During the period under review, Miele
invested a total of € 184 m.
With these figures, Miele has once again attained
its strategic goal of growing steadily and sustainably, notwithstanding economic cycles. The current
growth in turnover was 'organic', i.e. without thepurchase of other manufacturers or brands andwithout third-party capital. And, as in the previous
year, sales growth was once again well above theaverage rate of the past 10 years.

Dr Eduard Sailer (Technology), Dr Stefan Breit (Technology, dep.),
Dr Reinhard Zinkann (Co-Proprietor and Executive Director),
Olaf Bartsch (Finances and Administration),
Dr Markus Miele (Co-Proprietor and Executive Director)
and Dr Axel Kniehl ( Marketing/Sales).

The Miele board of management rates this all
the more highly in view of the fact that worldwide framework conditions 'did not exactly put
wind in our sails'. Notable are the outworkings ofthe crises in Arabia, Russia and Turkey, as wellas the turn taken by exchange rates. A challenge
was also presented by the aggressive pricingof reputable competitors. This is countered by
the German premium player with Miele’s proverbial quality, a range policy commensurate withthe brand and the market, high-end and wellspecced flagship models as well as entry-line
and promotional models with a greater focus
on value for money. Once again, built-in appliances have made an above-average contribution
to growth.
In Germany, Miele achieved sales of € 1.1 bn,
representing an increase of 6.9%. As a result of
this, Miele has expanded its position as the brandof major domestic appliances with the highest turnover through specialist electrical goods
retailers and is now even No. 1 in the kitchenstudios as well. Outside Germany, sales grew by
6.3%, whereby notable gains were reported by
USA, Australia, Great Britain and China. In Russia,
despite political instability and currency drops,
sales were maintained on a par with the previous

year in local currency. In Southern Europe, theupward trend was consolidated, despite thecontinuing debt crisis. As a result of aboveaverage growth on the German home market, theforeign share of sales still fell marginally from
70.3% to 70.1%.

Miele Professional records€ 476 m in sales
Miele’s Professional business unit, comprisinglaundry technology, commercial dishwashing,disinfectors and sterilisers for medical applications and laboratories, achieved sales of € 476 m.
This amounts to a year-on-year increase of€ 27 m or 6.0% compared with the previous year,with growth coming from all categories. Medical
technology deserves particular mention, with newmodel series and a persistent expansion of thesystem supplier philosophy through to the planning and equipping of entire central sterile supply
departments (CSSDs) in hospitals. Professional’s
share of total turnover was 13% and the trend
remains northbound.
As per June 30, 2016, 18,370 employees
were on the company’s payroll. This equates toan increase of 629, or 3.5%. Growth came above
all from Miele subsidiaries in the US, Canada,
Australia, Denmark, Great Britain and Spain,
where staffing levels in Sales and Service had tobe beefed up in response to increasing turnoverand unit sales. Due to good growth with entry-line

dishwashers, additional staff has also been taken
on at Miele’s Uniçov production plant.
In Germany, a drop in the number of employ­
ees at Miele’s sales operation on account ofconcentrating backoffice services at the company
headquarters in Gütersloh was offset by new staff
recruits at most German production plants tomeet increases in output. On balance, the level of
employment in Germany stands at 10,326, virtuallyon a par with the previous year (down just 0.2%).
At the Miele Group’s German locations there
are currently 466 young people enrolled in one of 33
commercial or technical apprenticeship courses.
Around 500 new apprentices will commence theirtraining at the beginning of the new educational
year starting on September 1. Around 130 in thisyear’s intake will embark on one of eleven dual
degree courses. These represent a combinationof an in-plant apprenticeship with a Bachelor’s
Degree in subjects such as mechanical eng­
ineering, electrical engineering, business studies,industrial engineering or commercial information
technology.

personnel development and training as well as thecompany’s long-term planning horizon. Similar
applies to environmental protection activities
at company locations: Here, Miele has reduced
energy consumption worldwide since 2000 by
18.4% despite a 70% growth in sales.

Energy consumption almost
one-fifth lower

Positive forecast for 2016 /17 fiscal year

Miele’s 2015 sustainability report subscribes tothe highest G4 reporting standards as per theleading Global Reporting Initiative (GRI ). Focal
aspects include the energy efficiency of Miele
products over their entire cradle-to-grave life cycle,

Substantial investments in production,
sales and logistics
During the past business year, the Miele Groupinvested to the tune of € 184 m. This represents€ 34 m, or 23%, more than in the previous year.
This significant increase is the result of investments in the development of new model series,
extension and conversion work at various
production locations and an expansion of sales
and logistics facilities in Gütersloh. The latterincludes an extension of the high-bay distribution
warehouse, a newly built central spares store anda new office wing. New or completely refurbishedshowrooms were inaugurated in metropolises
such as Beijing, New York, Miami, Johannesburg,
Vilnius, Bucharest, London and Vancouver.

Miele senior management’s comments on theforecast for the current fiscal year were 'reserved
but optimistic'. This reflects the political andeconomic flash points around the world wherean easing of tension is not in sight as well as thedampening effect the Brexit vote is likely to haveon the economy. Nevertheless, Miele expects turnover, unit sales and market shares to continue togrow, without any further detailed quantification.
Impulses for growth came for example fromtradeshow premieres during the reporting period,
including the unveiling of TempControl for highly
precise roasting and frying on induction hobs andMiele’s CM7 self-descaling countertop coffee machine. A veritable crowd puller at IFA 2015 was theelegant freestanding refrigeration products fromthe K 20.000 series with a blackboard door which
serves as the family’s communication hub. On
the dishwashing front, attractively priced camp­aign models ('Active') played a significant role intapping into new groups of buyers. In the upperechelons of the model range, the new G 6000
EcoFlex series with its unique combination ofexemplary energy efficiency, short cycle times andtop-class loading convenience scored points.
At the Milan Eurocucina trade show, Miele
presented the world’s first comprehensive rangeof handleless ArtLine built-in appliances sporting doors which open mechanically at the mere
touch of a sensor. As a sequel, IFA 2016 will
see the showcasing of Miele’s first bagless vac­uum cleaner which is characterised by excellent
cleaning performance and superior user convenience. As the manufacturer of the broadest rangeof connected domestic appliances, Miele is continuously extending its line-up of models withwireless controls.
For more than a decade now, the results of
the 'best brands' image study have underlined
the special reputation of the Miele brand, basedon a poll of many thousands of consumers andperformed by the GfK market researchers alongwith other partners. Across all categories of
the competition, Miele has remained No. 1 in thisrolling ranking by a large margin.
Further additions were made during the report­
ing period to the list of incumbent test winners(Stiftung Warentest), for instance with heat-pumpdryers (TMB 640 WP), dishwashers (G 6200 SCi
and SCVi ) and cooker hoods – in all three cooker
hood categories Miele was the sole test winner.
