Maintal, 12 May 2009 - Wireless services provider Drillisch AG (ISIN DE
0005545503) starts fiscal year 2009 with good profit growth.

The growth trend of all of the company's key indicators of sustainable
success, such as gross profit. adjusted EBITDA and consolidated profit, is
positive. As such, we have once again improved the quality of our results
from operations in difficult market conditions.

Compared with the first quarter 2008, we have increased the number of
wireless services subscribers by 3.3 percent, from 2.236 million to 2.310
million.

Gross profit improved to EUR17.7 million (Q1 2008: EUR17.6 million), in
spite of an eight percent decline in turnover to EUR77.8 million (previous
year: EUR84.6 million), which was caused by declining prices and
comparatively weak sales of low-margin prepaid bundles. The gross profit
margin improved by 1.9 percentage points to 22.7 percent (Q1 2008: 20.8
percent).

Year on year, adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortisation) improved by 3.7 percent to EUR9.9 million.

Consolidated net income increased disproportionately by 51.7 percent to
EUR8.8 million (Q1 2008: EUR5.8 million).

Guidance for fiscal year 2009:
EBITDA: ~EUR41-42 million
