United Internet can look back on a very successful first six months of its fiscal year 2006. Compared with the same period last year, there was strong growth in our key figures. With a leap in sales to C 597.1 million, the prior-year figure of C 335.4 million was exceeded by 78.0 %. Pre-tax earnings (EBT) doubled from C 45.7 million to C 91.6 million.
In the Product sector, with our brands GMX, WEB.DE, 1&1 and Schlund + Partner, sales grew by 87.6 % over the previous year to C 459.7 million and EBT by 91.7 % to C 78.6 million. During the period under review, the number of paying customer contracts grew by 790,000 to 5.87 million — of which 250,000 resulted from the acquisition of the British webhosting specialists Fasthosts Internet Ltd in May 2006. Overall, there was strong growth in all product lines: in our webhosting business we made particularly strong progress in foreign markets and achieved organic growth in contracts of over 210,000 to 810,000 in the first six months. Including Fasthosts, we held a total of some 2.61 million webhosting contracts world-wide as of June 30, 2006 — of which 1.06 million contracts were with foreign customers. In the field of Information Management, we added 120,000 new contracts to reach 1.11 million and 200,000 DSL contracts to reach 1.96 million. In our DSL business, the main focus in the first half of 2006 was the launch of our fast ADSL 2+ connections with up to 16,000 kbit/s and the development of an innovative plug-and-play technology. At the same time, we focused on raising customer loyalty and expanding business with our client base. Since the beginning of the year we have raised the number of customers with a telephony flat rate by 270,000 to 580,000. We are currently completing up to 500 million telephone minutes per month. We could also improve the number of our own DSL connection customers by 440,000 to 1.40 million.
In our Outsourcing segment – represented by the brands InterNetX and twenty4help – the measures introduced in 2005 to raise productivity are increasingly improving our results: compared with the first half of 2005, sales were up 18.6 % to C 52.9 million, while EBT improved by 79.3 % to C 5.2 million.
In the Online Marketing segment, our brands AdLINK, affilinet and Sedo are benefiting from the ongoing positive development of the online advertising market. Compared with the same period last year, sales in this segment grew by 84.5 % to C 84.5 million. EBT grew by 216.1 % to C 9.8 million.
We are also optimistic for the second half of 2006: our DSL and telephony products continue to enjoy strong demand, our international expansion in webhosting is making good progress, product innovations such as "Pocket Web" and "maxdome" have been launched and the boom in online advertising is also to our benefit.

In the first half of 2006, consolidated sales revenues of the United Internet Group grew by 78 % to C 597.1 million (prior year: C 335.4 million). Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) grew by 112 % to C 118.1 million (prior-year: C 55.6 million). Earnings before taxes (EBT) were up by 100 % to C 91.6 million (prior year: C 45.7 million).
A total of 200,000 new DSL customer contracts were concluded in the first half of 2006, taking the total to around 1.96 million as of June 30, 2006 (prior year: 1.34 million). In our DSL business, we focused on the launch of ADSL 2+ connections with up to 16,000 kbit/s in the first half of 2006 as well as on the development of an innovative plug-and-play technology. We also concentrated on building customer loyalty and expanding business with existing customers. Since the beginning of the year we have raised the number of customers with a telephony flat rate by 270,000 to 580,000. We are currently completing up to 500 million telephone minutes per month. We could also improve the number of our own DSL connection customers by 440,000 to 1.40 million.
Our international expansion program continues to make strong progress: in the first half of 2006, sales outside Germany accounted for C 124.4 million of total consolidated revenue (prior year: C 73.8 million). In our Product business we achieved organic growth of 210,000 in new hosting contracts abroad. On May 15, 2006 we acquired a 100 % stake in the British webhosting specialist Fasthosts Internet Ltd. The agreed purchase price was £ 61.5 million in cash. With 250,000 customer contracts and over 800,000 domains, Fasthosts is a leading supplier on the UK webhosting market. The acquisition has helped us to expand our leading position. At the same time, Fasthosts gives us access to a highly efficient reseller network. Including Fasthosts, we held a total of 1.06 million contracts with foreign customers (June 30, 2005: 0.49 million).
Depreciation of tangible and intangible assets grew from C 10.9 million last year to C 26.2 million. This figure includes around C 10.4 million for the amortization of identified and capitalized intangible assets in connection with company acquisitions, resulting from the takeover of WEB.DE's portal business and Cible-Click in late 2005 and the acquisition of Fasthosts in May 2006. Investments in tangible and intangible assets amounted to C 17.0 million in the first half of 2006 (prior year: C 13.3 million). Cash flow from operating activities grew to C 81.4 million (prior year: C 39.5 million). Thanks to strong cash flow — even after the reduction of the WEB.DE loan, the Fasthosts takeover and the dividend payment — net borrowing remained virtually stable at C 46.3 million (C 47.0 million as of year end 2005).
At the end of June 2006, United Internet employed a total of 6,102 people (December 31, 2005: 5,540). The number of staff employed outside Germany amounted to 2,320 (December 31, 2005: 1,831).
The accounting and valuation standards used in this quarterly report correspond to the standards applied in the annual financial statements for the fiscal year 2005.
Pre-tax earnings of the parent company, United Internet AG, amounted to C –1.1 million (prior-year: C 24.0 million — due to the sale of Sedo and affilinet to AdLINK AG). As of June 30, 2006 the equity ratio was 87.8 %.
UI-178 Halbj_Ber_06_UK.indd 4 07.08.2006 10:01:08 Uhr
During the period under review, the United Internet share grew by 39.8 % from C 8.06 (adjusted for the share split) as of December 31, 2005 to C 11.27 as of June 30, 2006.
The Executive Board of United Internet AG resolved on May 23, 2006 to purchase up to 8,000,000 (split-adjusted) shares of the company, representing 3.21 % of the capital stock, until November 17, 2006. A commercial bank has been commissioned with the buyback. Until June 30, 2006, we have bought 476,672 shares at an average price of C 9.79.
The annual shareholders' meeting of United Internet AG on June 13, 2006 approved the proposal of the Management Board and Supervisory Board for the payment of a 25-cent dividend per share for the fiscal year 2005 (prior year: 20 cents per share). A total dividend payment of C 15.6 million was made on June 14, 2006.
In June 2006 United Internet AG carried out the capital increase from company funds adopted by the annual shareholders' meeting of June 13, 2006 and issued bonus shares to its shareholders in a 1:3 ratio on June 26, 2006. Capital stock was increased from C 62,275,201 to C 249,100,804. The capital increase involved the
issue of 186,825,603 new shares. This new division of capital stock increased the number of company shares to 249,100,804. The new shares are entitled to dividend payments for the fiscal year 2006. The share price and the EPS were adjusted immediately and in relation to the numerical increase in shares following the split.
We have made very encouraging progress in the current fiscal year to date, setting new records in all relevant key figures. We are also optimistic for fiscal 2006 as a whole: demand remains strong for our DSL and telephony products, our international webhosting business continues to make good progress and the boom in online advertising is benefiting our business model. We will probably be able to beat our 2006 targets, which consist in rising sales, EBITDA and EBT by some 50 % compared to 2005 and in increasing the number of customer contracts to over 6 million.

As of June 30, 2006 we had a total of 5.87 million feebased customer contracts (year-end 2005: 5.08 million).

Our brands not only generate revenues from subscriptions; an increasing proportion of income also results from our online advertising and e-commerce activities. United Internet Media, the marketing company for our GMX, WEB.DE and 1&1 portals and our new shopping portal SmartShopping.de, provides advertisers and agencies in Germany with a reach of over 50 % of all German internet users, as well as high-quality, targeted marketing and innovative advertising instruments. Our family of brands provides unique market coverage in Germany.

In our Product segment we are confident that the company's international expansion strategy will continue to make good progress and that we can maintain our dynamic growth. Thanks to further product innovations and our attractive price/performance ratio, we also see excellent opportunities for DSL connections and DSL telephony. In total, we expect dynamic growth in all product lines with rising revenues and earnings. Owing to the tremendous reach of its portals, its innovative advertising technology and the expected market growth, United Internet Media can also look forward to continued success in fiscal 2006.

GMX targets the mass market with e-mail and DSL products. 9.7 million active users per month make GMX one of Germany's leading portals. In addition to its free e-mail accounts, GMX also offers fee-based e-mail solutions and products for fast internet access.
In the period under review, GMX focused on a limited offer of a German-wide DSL flat rate for 0 C, the launch of a new shopping area and its World Cup Special.
With 11.2 million unique users per month, WEB.DE is No. 1 on the German portal market. WEB.DE also offers free basic services, as well as fee-based products and services, including the popular WEB.DE Club.
In the first half of 2006, WEB.DE expanded its search function by adding a local search option. The local search combines the wealth of regional information provided by the "yellow pages" with the benefits of the internet. By combining a variety of databases, customers are led quickly to their desired results in a particular town or region. "WEB.DE Address Book mobile" provides Club members with full access to all address data, which they can change or add to while away from home.
1&1 is the right address for discerning private users and small offices requiring Information Management, Webhosting or Access solutions. 1&1 is No. 2 in Germany's DSL sector and the world's leading hosting company, active in 5 countries.
In the period under review, 1&1 focused on the following activities in Germany: the start of ADSL 2+, the launch of a new Virtual Server product line, the integration of marketing tools into our hosting packages, the launch of a new eShop generation as well as the rollout of Pocket Web. In our international business, we drove the rollout of our product range on the French market. In the UK, we launched content modules and started marketing .eu domains, and in the USA we launched new blogging tools.

Our Outsourcing segment comprises purely B2B activities. We are represented in this segment by the brands InterNetX and twenty4help. InterNetX works for other webhosters and twenty4help acts as a service provider for major companies in the field of CRM.
The measures launched in 2005 to raise the profitability of our Outsourcing segment are proving increasingly effective: compared with the first 6 months of 2005, sales grew by 19 % to C 52.9 million, while EBT was up 79 % to C 5.2 million. We expect to stabilize this positive trend in the remaining quarters of the current fiscal year.
United Internet's German reselling activities are all conducted through InterNetX. The company's hosting products are marketed by InterNetX to other ISPs and multimedia agencies (resellers), who in turn market them under their own name and for their own account.
In the period under review, InterNetX focused on gaining further sales partners. The company now serves some 15,100 resellers (June 30, 2005: 11,500), for which it hosts over 1.3 million domains and 600 servers.
Under the twenty4help brand, we offer major corporations an extensive range of CRM services. Our customers include international blue chip companies, such as Microsoft, HP and Sun Microsystems. twenty4help operates 10 facilities in 7 European nations. Over 3,000 employees answer technical enquiries in 22 languages by phone, e-mail or chat.
In view of the modest market development and strong competition in this segment, twenty4help already launched measures to enhance productivity in mid 2005. The implementation of these measures is increasingly resulting in an improvement in its key performance indicators.

Our Online Marketing segment offers advertisers a variety of marketing and sales solutions: display marketing via AdLINK, affiliate marketing via affilinet and domain marketing via Sedo.

Considering the positive development in this sector and the overall boom in online advertising, we expect further growth in sales and earnings in the second half of 2006.
AdLINK is one of Europe's largest independent marketers of online advertising. The company's business model is based on an online advertising network of high-reach websites, which it markets to advertisers.
In the period under review, the company focused mainly on the further restructuring of its product portfolio and the expansion of its advertising network. The number of page impressions generated by the network per month grew to 6.5 billion (prior year: 5.1 billion).
Sedo operates the global domain trading platform "sedo.com", which currently trades 5.3 million domains. In its "domain parking" business, Sedo markets some of these domains to advertisers on behalf of the domain owners.
In the period under review, Sedo focused on driving its international expansion – especially in the USA and the UK. The number of marketable domains grew to over 1.5 million (prior year: 0.5 million).
