The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- MBB SE increases revenues in the first quarter 2015 by more than 8% with good earnings - EUR60.2 million in revenues, EUR0.47 earnings per share - AGM on 30 June 2015, EUR0.57 proposed dividend - Purchase of 13,225 own shares in share buyback programme Berlin, 13 May 2015 - MBB SE (ISIN DE000A0ETBQ4), a family-owned, medium-sized group of companies, generated revenues of EUR60.2 million after EUR55.6 million in the first quarter of the previous year according to preliminary figures. This equals to a growth rate of 8.3%. Disproportionately to revenues, EBITDA grew by 16.6% to EUR6.4 million compared to EUR5.5 million previously. Consolidated earnings amounted to EUR3.1 million, slightly below EUR3.2 million from the first quarter of last year due to higher tax expenses in the current year. Earnings per share in the reporting period were EUR0.47 after EUR0.50 in the year before. Equity increased to EUR82.5 million compared to EUR78.6 million at the end of 2014. The equity ratio at the end of the first quarter 2015 improved to more than 40%. Liquidity decreased to EUR52.7 million compared to EUR58.7 million at the end of 2014. Over the same period, net cash decreased from EUR24.3 million to EUR15.7 million. The reason for this lies in investments in business properties and seasonally higher working capital requirements. Thus, MBB has an unchanged comfortable liquidity position allowing for further growth in existing group companies and growth by acquisitions. For the financial year 2015, management still forecasts revenues of between EUR240 million and EUR250 million and earnings per share of at least EUR1.75. Board and Executive Management will propose an increased dividend for the financial year 2014 of EUR0.57 to the Annual General Meeting taking place on 30 June 2015 in Berlin. MBB purchased 13,225 own shares in the context of a share buyback programme from 18 March 2015 until 7 May 2015 at an average purchase price of EUR23.55 excluding additional charges.
