Revenue growth in China due to sales events in Q4 2019; stable revenues in Europe

Revenues of the China business in FY 2019 amounted to EUR 51.3 million (2018: EUR 56.7 million). In Q4 2019, the business in China grew 45.8% to EUR 15.6 million compared to Q3 2019 (EUR 10.7 million) but was below the Group's original targets.
