Operating overhead expenses increase
Group operating overheads include overhead costs related to
marketing, sales, logistics, research and development as well
as fi nance and administration functions. Operating overhead
expenses as a percentage of sales increased 0.7 percentage
points to 27.3% in 2008 from 26.6% in the prior year. This was
primarily a result of higher own-retail expenditures, which
increased due to the expansion of the Group’s own-retail
activities, mainly in emerging markets. As a result, operating
overhead expenses increased 8% in 2008 to € 2.949 billion
versus € 2.737 billion in 2007.
