NEW MANAGING DIRECTOR IN RADIATION THERAPY SEGMENT

Dr. Harald Hasselmann (48) has been appointed as the new commercial managing director for sales and finances of Eckert & Ziegler BEBIG. With effect from October 1, 2015 he will be a member of the management team and head the company together with Dr. Edgar Löffler, a medical physicist, who is responsible for the irradiation equipment manufacturer's technical operations.

CERTIFICATE OF RECOGNITION FOR "GOOD CORPORATE CITIZEN"

The American subsidiary Eckert & Ziegler Isotope Products Inc. receives a certificate of recognition as "good corporate citizen" for the year 20014 from the Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County for complying consistently with all their industrial wastewater discharge requirements.

Business development of the Eckert & Ziegler Group

AVERAGE THIRD QUARTER

Business was moderate at the Eckert & Ziegler Group in the third quarter of 2015. With sales of € 33.7 million and net income of € 1.5 million, the Group generated an average result.

In the first nine months from January to September 2015, sales came in at € 102.7 million. Compared to the same period in the prior year, sales were up by € 10.2 million or 11%. A majority of this amount, € 8.3 million, is due to the more favorable US dollar/ euro exchange rate. The acquisition of the Isotope Products segment in Brazil saw sales climb by € 2.3 million. Organic sales declined slightly by € 0.4 million.

Thanks to the special income reported in the second quarter of 2015 from the disposal of the OctreoPharm Sciences GmbH investment, EBIT improved to € 13.8 million for the first nine months. Profit for the period after taxes and minority interests also increased sharply to € 9.0 million or € 1.70 per share.

The Isotope Products segment benefited the most from the weak euro, while also recording a positive acquisition effect. Organic sales declined by € 2.8 million due to weak sales in the energy sector and radiocarbon dating. Two loss-making areas have been identified in the highly successful segment: the newly acquired Brazilian business and radiocarbon dating. As a result, EBIT for the entire segment fell by € 2.8 million to € 9.6 million.

Sales in the Radiation Therapy segment increased by € 2.0 million to € 21.5 million. Organic sales growth in afterloaders were strong following the launch of the new SagiNova®, but not enough to cover the cost base. Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) fell by € 0.5 million to € – 2.9 million. This already includes provisions of € 1.3 million for restructuring measures and consolidation of sites.

The sales of the Radiopharma segment rose by not only the currency effect but also organically, especially in the equipment division and with the gallium generators. The "Other operating income" item includes most of the proceeds arising from the sale of the OctreoPharm investment. As a result, EBIT increased many times over to € 8.7 million.

Price increases meant that the Others segment registered an increase in sales of € 0.6 million to € 5.4 million. EBIT increased significantly by € 1.0 million to € – 1.6 million. This change is largely the result of the balance of a positive and a negative effect: this segment also includes income from the sale of the OctreoPharm investment. A price increase at a key disposal channel led to an increase in provisions for waste materials.

LIQUIDITY

At € 9.2 million, gross cash flow, i. e. profit for the period adjusted for non-cash-effective effects, was 17 % below the prior year period, particularly due to the weaker results in the Isotope Products segment.

The reduction in net working capital led to a positive cash flow of € 2.2 million and the decline in receivables from customers in the Radiation Therapy segment was the main effect.

Investments in fixed assets declined by € 5.1 million to € 2.9 million after the completion of the new cyclotron and were mainly restricted to maintenance investments in 2015. The disposal of the OctreoPharm investment led to cash inflow of € 5.4 million, with the investment activities resulting in an overall increase in liquidity.

The constant dividend of € 0.60 per share led to an unchanged cash outflow of € 3.2 million. The amount of loans declined by € 2.7 million. Financial holdings increased overall to € 29.1 million as of September 30, 2015.

BALANCE SHEET

The balance sheet total as of the end of September 2015 remained nearly unchanged compared to the end of 2014, rising slightly from € 187.3 million to € 191.4 million. The reasons for the significant changes in the balance sheet were previously described in the statements on cash flow: the offsetting entries to cash inflow include the increase in equity (profit for the period), the decline in the investments valued at equity (disposal of OctreoPharm) and the decline in trade receivables (reduction in receivables in the Radiation Therapy segment). For the planned disposal of a building in the Radiation Therapy segment, € 1.0 million was previously reported under "non-current assets available for sale". As a sale has become more unlikely towards the end of 2015 given the contract negotiations, this item has been reversed and the amount has been reassigned to property, plant and equipment.

EMPLOYEES

The Eckert & Ziegler Group had a total of 707 employees worldwide as of September 30, 2015, 406 of whom worked in Germany. The number of employees has therefore dropped slightly compared to the end of 2014, as the staff reduction in the Radiation Therapy segment had a stronger impact than the recruiting measures in the Radiopharma segment.

OUTLOOK

Sales are expected to rise to over € 133 million in 2015, while an improvement in earnings to over € 2.00 per share is also targeted. The current US dollar exchange rate is providing major support in achieving this sales target and the operating results achieved thus far also indicate that the targets will be met. Sales are expected to increase slightly to between € 137 and € 140 million in 2016, assuming exchange rates remain stable. Earnings per share are likely to decline to approximately € 1.80 per share in 2016 due to the absence of positive one-off effects.

Notes to the interim financial statements

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

These unaudited interim financial statements as of September 30, 2015 contain the financial statements of Eckert & Ziegler Strahlen- und Medizintechnik AG and its subsidiaries (hereinafter referred to as "Eckert & Ziegler AG").

2. ACCOUNT AND VALUATION METHODS

As with the annual financial statements for 2014, the consolidated financial statements (interim financial statements) of Eckert & Ziegler AG as of September 30, 2015 have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). All standards of the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), London, applicable in the EU at the reporting date, as well as the relevant interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) and the Standing Interpretations Committee (SIC) have been taken into account. The accounting and valuation methods explained in the notes to the annual financial statements for 2014 have been applied unchanged.

When preparing the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS, it is necessary to make estimates and assumptions that impact the amount and disclosure of recognized assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual amounts may differ from the estimates. Significant assumptions and estimates are made concerning useful lives, income achievable from property, plant and equipment, recoverability of receivables and the accounting and measurement of provisions.

This interim report includes all information and adjustments required to provide a true and fair view of the net assets, financial position and results of operations of Eckert & Ziegler AG as of the reporting date. The interim results for the current fiscal year do not necessarily allow conclusions to be drawn about the development of future earnings.

3. SCOPE OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements of Eckert & Ziegler AG include all companies where Eckert & Ziegler AG is able, either indirectly or directly, to determine the company's financial and business policies (control concept).

Acquisitions and sales of companies

Please refer to the explanations given in section 4 for details on the acquisitions and sales of companies.

4. LIMITED COMPARABILITY OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS WITH THE PRIOR YEAR

The Isotope business unit of REM Indústria e Comércio Ltda. (REM), which is based in São Paulo, Brazil, was acquired effective September 1, 2014.

These had a material impact on the Group's net assets and results of operations as against the first nine months of 2014, impairing the comparability of the consolidated report with the prior year.

5. CURRENCY TRANSLATION

The financial statements of companies outside the European Monetary Union are translated pursuant to the functional currency concept. The following exchange rates were used for the currency translation:
