Maintal, 26. March 2008 (11:55 am): Drillisch AG (ISIN DE 0005545503)
closed out the fiscal year 2007 with yet another record-setting result.
Sales rose by 28.1% to €361.5 million. The operating EBITDA (earnings
before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation, adjusted for special
effects from M&A transactions), the most important performance indicator
for us, improved by 29.7% to €38.0 million. These figures mean that we
exceeded our earnings predictions from spring 2007 and have further
developed our position as one of the most profitable wireless services
providers in Germany.

Our years of success demonstrate that profitable growth is indeed possible
in this dynamic market environment. We recognised this situation very early
and became the first service provider to place products on the discount
market.. Our strategy aims to use innovative ideas to acquire new customers
on the discount market in particular. But we also want to offer attractive
contracts and simple, low rates in the post-paid business to increase
turnover with both current and new customers. We will strive to improve
further our profitability through sensible, efficient operations and strict
control of costs.

Our objective in pursuing this growth strategy is to become one of the
leading wireless service providers in Germany. As part of our efforts to
achieve this goal, we also intend to maintain our active role in the
consolidation of the service provider market in Germany. We feel that we
are well prepared to exploit the opportunities which are to be found on the
service provider market in Germany,.
