Berlin, 28 February 2013. Based on preliminary unaudited figures, MBB Industries AG (ISIN DE000A0ETBQ4), a family-owned, medium-sized corporation, has closed the 2012 financial year with new record levels of revenues and earnings. Consolidated net profit increased by 303%, from EUR3.3 million in the previous year to EUR13.4 million, thereby significantly outstripping growth in revenues, which rose by 87% to EUR204.9 million (previous year: EUR109.6 million). Consolidated EBITDA improved by 163% to EUR24.3 million after EUR9.2 million in the previous year, corresponding to an EBITDA margin of 11.8%. EBIT increased by 243%, from EUR5.7 million in the previous year to EUR19.4 million. MBB Industries reported earnings per share of EUR2.08 for the past financial year after EUR0.51 in the previous year.

The highly encouraging business performance in financial year 2012 was driven by all of the portfolio companies. The figures for MBB Fertigungstechnik, which was acquired at the end of the first quarter of 2012, are also included on a pro rata basis. Despite the enlargement of the investment portfolio in 2012, investments in expansion at the existing portfolio companies, the dividend payment of around EUR2.8 million (EUR0.44 per share) and the share buyback in the amount of EUR1.0 million, cash and cash equivalents increased further in financial year 2012, amounting to EUR45.2 million at year-end after EUR30.3 million at the end of 2011. Net liquidity improved to EUR31.5 million after EUR13.7 million in the previous year. This means that MBB Industries still has sufficient funding not only to support investments in expansion at its existing portfolio companies but also for further acquisition-based growth.

The highly encouraging business development in 2012 has continued in early
2013, and MBB Industries AG expects its positive course of business to
continue.

The final figures for the 2012 financial year will be announced in conjunction with the publication of the Annual Report on 30 April 2013 and will then be available to download at www.mbb.com.
