MBB Industries AG: MBB Industries AG with revenue of Eur59m in first half year and EPS of 17 cents

Berlin (pta012/31.08.2010/09:00 UTC+2) Berlin, August 31, 2010 - MBB Industries AG (ISIN DE000A0ETBQ4), a holding company specialising in medium-sized industrial companies with sustained value growth, generated a group revenue of Eur29.1m and earnings of 4 cents per share in the second quarter.

Group revenue for the first six months of 2010 is thereby running at Eur58.8m, compared with Eur41.3m in the same period of the previous year; it should be borne in mind, however, that the previous year's figures have been corrected in accordance with IFRS 5 for the share of revenue generated by the Reimelt-Henschel group, which was sold in May 2009. On the other hand, the revenue for the first half-year of 2010 incorporates the revenue from CT Formpolster GmbH, which was acquired on January 1, 2010.

The operating result (EBITDA) of the continuing operations for the first half year of 2010 fell from Eur4.0m to Eur3.3m compared to the previous year, and the consolidated profit dropped from Eur1.4m to Eur1.1m over the same period. This puts the earnings per share for the first half-year of 2010 at 17 cents, compared with 22 cents for the previous year's equivalent period.

Equity capital rose from Eur55.6m auf Eur56.7m compared to 31.12.2009, corresponding with a capital ratio of 50.9%. Liquid funds including securities and physical gold stocks as of 30.06.2010 were Eur34.9m and net cash (the aforementioned liquid funds minus liabilities to banks) as of 30.06.2010 was at Eur10.4m. Liquid funds as of 31.12.2009 were Eur35.3 and net cash stood at Eur10.7m.

Based on the figures for the first half year, the managing board continues to forecast a revenue of Eur120m for the year 2010 as a whole, while the board forecasts an improvement in the operating result compared to the first half of the year. However, unlike previously reported, a result above that of the previous year with 54 cents per share, is no longer expected. Nevertheless, the managing board is still of the opinion that the existing equity capital and cash positions continue to constitute a firm basis for growth through the acquisition of new holding companies in the current market environment.
