Schönefeld, 02/28/2020 - UniDevice AG (ISIN: DE000A11QLU3) announces that scheduled sales growth and unscheduled profit growth were achieved in January and February 2020. The outlook for March is very positive. A continuing positive sales and profit development is expected for the year as a whole.

"The value of using different price levels and availability of electronic devices around the world has been particularly apparent in recent weeks.

In view of the very encouraging business development, the Management Board will propose a dividend of 9 cents per share above expectations for the Annual General Meeting on June 29, 2020.
