Geschäftsbericht 2006 3-Months Report 2007
Letter from the Management Board
Dear shareholders,
in the current fiscal year telegate is consistently using the growth potential offered by the extension of the product portfolio for private and business customers and the expansion into foreign markets. The first quarter of 2007 sees telegate's earnings on a clearly positive path. With available liquidity topping nearly 29 million Euro and an equity ratio of 53 percent, we enjoy a solid financial platform from which to develop the operative business still further.
The business segment Germany/Austria has its sight firmly set on extending the directory assistance business across all media channels. Thus, the '11 88 0 multi-channel directory assistance' has been extended by a whole host of hitherto unique product innovations at the start of 2007. One major beneficiary of this extension has been the Internet directory assistance11880.com. Its new features include, among other things, the dynamic integration of maps and aerial views with commercial queries. As part of a test trial for Local Search, the inner city of Munich can now be navigated and surveyed on a virtual walk around town. Commercial entities are now offered the chance to supplement their Internet-based business advertisements with video entries. This is telegate's reaction to the current market trend, which sees the classic yellow-pages business with classified advertisements placed by commercial enterprises in hardcopy books increasingly migrate to new media and the Internet. Over the last few months telegate has brought together an efficient and potent sales team to market the Internet-based commercial advertising. We are thus developing and tapping new sources of revenues and are thereby underlining its innovative leadership.
Also in other markets, telegate has managed to develop its business successfully. The market position in Italy was positive in the first quarter of 2007. Together with its main shareholder Seat Pagine Gialle, telegate today provides directory assistance close to half of that market.
In Spain, the partnership with QDQ, the leading national alternative yellow-pages provider, will soon bear fruit. As part of the cooperation, the service portfolio of our '11811' brand will be extensively expanded, above all in the growth market of the Internet. Parallel to this, QDQ integrates the services of the '11811' into the own marketing portfolio. The mutual objective is to provide consumers with multi-media directory assistance services in premium quality and simultaneously offer innovative advertising means to business customers. We are well on the way to further strengthen our market position in Spain as leading information service provider.
In France the company has to proof its metal in an extremely competitive market environment and further sharpen the profile of the '118 000' directory assistance number. With such strong partners as SFR and Bouygues Telecom, telegate is endowed with a differentiating feature that sets it apart from the competitors. The objective is to secure profitability while reaping the full potential of that market for the telegate Group.
After the first months of fiscal 2007, we remain excellently positioned and equipped for the future. Product innovations, the extension of the multi-channel business and cooperations with strong partners all form the corresponding basis. Following this positive first quarter, telegate's management maintains its estimate for EBITDA close to 50 million Euro.

Management Report
Overview on first quarter 2007
In the current fiscal year telegate is consistently using the growth potential offered by the extension of the product portfolio for private and business customers and the expansion into foreign markets. Following completion of the investment phase that had been initiated in 2005 and which led to a short-term dip of profitability until the middle of 2006, telegate was back on a positive earnings path in the first quarter of 2007. While operating earnings (EBIT) for the first quarter of 2006 had been negative at -1.3 million Euro, EBIT in the quarter under review was markedly up at 9.1 million Euro. This improvement of profitability was also evident in the Free Cash Flow, which increase from -4.0 million Euro to plus 9.2 million Euro.
In summary therefore one can truly say that telegate finds itself excellently positioned and equipped for the future. Product innovations, the cooperation with strong partners as well as significant improvements in the key financial figures all form the corresponding basis. As a consequence, telegate's management can confirm its earnings forecast of around 50 million Euro EBITDA for fiscal year 2007 already after completion of the first quarter.
Financial situation
Earnings situation
At 44.0 million Euro, Group revenues for the first quarter of 2007 are below the last year's figure of 47.2 million Euro. However, the figure for the prior year included outsourcing revenues made with the French mobile phone operators SFR and Bouygues Telecom over 9.5 million Euro. If the figures are adjusted by this extraordinary effect, revenues would have risen from 37.7 million Euro to 44.0 million Euro, which would have meant an increase of 16.7 percent.
The gross profit margin was substantially up from 47.6 percent to 58.6 percent, which was mainly due to the expiration of the outsourcing business with SFR and Bouygues Telecom.
The investment phase that had been completed in fiscal year 2006, is now making a positive contribution to operative earnings (EBIT) in the first quarter of 2007. Thus, while operating earnings (EBIT) for the first quarter of 2006 had been negative at -1.3 million Euro, which was in the main due to the expenditures made toward building and strengthening the brand of our French directory assistance service, the EBIT in the quarter under review was markedly up at plus 9.1 million Euro. Concurrent to this, the period's net income after taxes rose from last year's figure of -2.4 million Euro to presently 7.3 million Euro.
Net assets and financial situation
Balance Sheet
As of reporting date (March 31, 2007), the balance sheet total of telegate Group amounted to 131.1 million Euro and was thus 5.3 million Euro higher than on December 31, 2006 (125.8 million Euro.). The increase on the asset side is essentially the result of two contrary effects. Liquid assets rose strength of a significantly better profitability. On the other hand, trade accounts receivables were lower as a result of an overall lower sales volume. The latter was essentially due to the termination of the outsourcing contracts concluded between telegate' French segment and SFR and Bouygues Telecom, which had become effective on April 3, 2006, as well as other effects as of reporting date. The rise on the liabilities and shareholders' equity side of the balance sheet is also the result of contrary movements. Thus, trade accounts payable were reduced in line with the, compared to last year, lower business expenses, while the Group's equity increased as a result of the net income recorded for the period. The equity ratio of telegate Group as of March 31, 2007 stands at 53.3 percent (December 31, 2006: 49.7 percent).
Cash Flow & financing
Given the substantially improved profitability in the period under review, the operating cash flow (outflow and inflow of funds from going concern) was up in line with plan, totaling 10.1 million Euro (previous year: -2.1 million Euro).
Due to the scheduled cut in capital expenditures and an improved profitability, the Free Cash Flow comes to 9.2 million Euro, while the year-on-year comparison showed a minus of -4.0 million Euro for the same period the year before.
Investments
The total volume of investments in the period under review came to 0.7 million Euro (previous year: 2.0 million Euro). Capital expenditures in properties and equipment and intangible assets were made, above all, for the renewal of the call center technology as well as for investments in replacements and maintenance.
Segment report
Germany/Austria
In the segment Germany/Austria, telegate continues unwavering to focus attention on its premium claim and to anchor itself as leading partner for the business customer sector. Here telegate had been able to score important points especially with the Internet directory assistance 11880.com. At the start of January 2007 a cooperation with hotel.de was agreed, that sees all contract hotels of the booking services being stored as business entry with the 11880.com site in the future and directly available for reservation via this directory assistance platform. These contract hotels are now presented on all 11880-channels as part of the multi-channel strategy, allowing both, the business clients of hotel.de as well as the customers of the 11880.com site to benefit from this cooperation. The first quarter of 2007 also witnessed the launch of new innovative services for the Internet-based directory assistance. Part of these services includes the dynamic connection of maps and aerial views with commercial queries, as well as supplementing the Internetbased commercial advertisements with video entries. This is telegate's response to the current market trend that sees the classic yellow pages advertisement business shift more and more into the new media and the Internet.
As a result of this business sector strategy the revenues for the segment Germany/Austria stabilized in the first quarter of 2007 at 28.5 million Euro and thus nearly reached the level of last year (28.6 million Euro).
Because of substantially lower marketing expenses, the earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation (EBITDA) went up from 9.3 million Euro to 11.0 million Euro over the reporting period.
France
The French segment generated sales in the first quarter 2007 of 5.9 million Euro. Though this is distinctly below the sales recorded the year before at 11.2 million Euro. In account must be taken the fact that the figure for the prior year included outsourcing sales with the mobile phone operators SFR and Bouygues Telecom over 9.5 million Euro. These were sales that had no effect on earnings. Already prior to the final liberalization of the French directory assistance market on April 3, 2006, telegate had processed the entire directory assistance volume of both companies. Adjusted by this effect, the segment's revenues more than tripled to 5.9 million Euro (adjusted figure for the year before: 1.7 million Euro).
The main focus of attention in the French segment continues to be on building a sustainable profitable directory assistance business.
During the first quarter of 2007, telegate has made vital progress on this path toward profitability. With advertisement costs substantially cut and profit margin improved, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) came to - 2.4 million Euro, while the same figure for the period of the prior year had registered a minus of -10.1 million Euro.
Italy/Spain
The economic development seen in Italy and Spain during the first quarter of 2007 was very gratifying. The segment's revenues climbed by 28.0 percent from 7.5 million Euro to 9.6 million Euro. Parallel to this, the profitability (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) in the period under review more than doubled to 2.4 million Euro (previous year: 1.0 million Euro).
This exceedingly positive financial development is demonstrated by the successful performance of telegate Italia S.r.L. during the first quarter of 2007, which together with Seat Pagine Gialle S.p.A., now covers well over 40 percent of the Italian directory assistance market. The figures also reflect the positive development in Spain. Here both, sales as well as earnings, recorded growth in the yearon-year comparison. Another important foundation for the further extension of business in Spain was laid by the cooperation with QDQ Media SAU – Spain's leading alternative yellow pages provider. As part of the cooperation, the service portfolio of the Spanish subsidiary will be expanded, above all in the growth market of the Internet. Parallel to this, QDQ integrates the services of the "11 8 11" into its own marketing portfolio. This cooperation means that telegate's multi-channel strategy will also be realized in the Spanish directory assistance market.
Employees
As of March 31, 2007 telegate Group had 3,248 employees (headcount) on its books, which increases the number of employees against the same date last year by 14.6 percent. This increase was above all driven by the expansion of the foreign business divisions.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Basis of presentation
The telegate-Group's core operating activities comprises the provision of directory enquiries and call completion services. In addition the Company is marketing its own call centre competency and is offering a broad spectrum of services for partners from many industries in domestic and foreign countries.
The Consolidated Financial Statement of telegate AG and the subsidiaries consolidated in the Financial Statement has been prepared as of March 31, 2007, in compliance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) of the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
This interim financial report has been prepared in compliance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting". Furthermore, all International Accounting Standards (IAS), International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as well as the interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC–formerly SIC) that were mandatory applicable per March 31, 2007 were complied with.
The Consolidated Financial Statements of telegate (the Group / telegate Group / the Company) are expressed in Euro. All values are rounded to the nearest thousand (TEUR) except when otherwise indicated.
The Consolidated Annual Financial Statements and the Management Report prepared as of December 31, 2006, are submitted to the operator of the Electronic Federal Gazette ("Betreiber des elektronischen Bundesanzeiger") and published in the Federal Gazette electronically ("eBAnz").
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this interim Consolidated Financial Statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation for the Group's annual Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2006, except of the following, in 2007 issued and by telegate adopted regulations:
On March 29, 2007, the IASB issued a revised IAS 23 Borrowing Costs. The main change from the previous version is the removal of the option of immediately recognising as an expense borrowing costs that relate to assets that take a substantial period of time to get ready for use or sale. An entity is, therefore, required to capitalise borrowing costs as part of the cost of such assets. The revised Standard applies to borrowing costs relating to qualifying assets for which the commencement date for capitalisation is on or after January 1, 2009. Earlier application is permitted.
The adoption of this new regulations did not affect the Group results or financial position.
3. Changes in the scope of consolidation
Compared to December 31, 2006, the scope of consolidation has not changed in 2007.
4. Presenting the Consolidated Income Statement in the conventional cost of sales format
IAS 1.88 permits a company to prepare its income statement in accordance with the nature of expense method or the cost of sales method. telegate has opted to apply the cost of sales method. The Company's method of presentation fulfils the minimum classification scheme as prescribed by IAS 1.81 and 1.82. Additional items can also be included in the classification to the extent these are required in order to shed further light on the enterprise's financial position (IAS 1.83).
External balance sheet readers arguably prefer presentation using the conventional costs of sales method. In order to cater for the needs of this group, the extended presentation used in the Consolidated Income Statement has been reconciled to the classification principles adopted in the conventional cost of sales method.
In the following the reconciliation of the results for the first 3 months of 2007 and 2006 respectively.
